''They both got hair. +"

| This reply of Julius Caesar Freitas
to a ,cross-question by Attorney GEN
eral Andrews, in the Naone murder
trial, caused an explosion of hilarity
which only the extreme provocatioR
saved from the character of blasphemy
on such a solemn occasion. f'
Julius Uaesar was showing himself
to be what is called, in legal parlance,
ga willing Witness" in such degree
as led the Attorney General to ask him
if he had been subpoenaed. He did not
know that big word and further ques-
| tioning brought out the information
that, when he heard that the defend
ant was in trouble, he talked about
| Naone as he remembered him when
they went to school together.
"No, it was not the time the woman
was killed; had nothing to do with
the killing of the woman" the wit
ness almost shrieked.
| cit was about four days ago." he
went on to say. "He told me to como
to the COURT Witness pointed his
finger at the row of lour attorneys
Messrs. Andrews, Cathcart, Thompson
and Dunno, in that order from tho
stand.

| hair or the one with the dark HART"
Mr.. Andrews asked.
| "They both got hair,'' was the re-
| ply shot back. Mr.. Thompson in
stinctively felt his auburn locks, and
Mr.. Dunno his thinning jet tresses.
Then Mr.. Thompson gently placed his
hand upon the shiny pate of Mr.. Cath
cart. This last act put upon the an
swer of the witness the inferentiai
construction that his invitation had
come from one of the gentlemen sit
ting beyond the associate counsel for
the prosecution.
Even the court smiled as its knuckles
anticipated the corrective thud of the
bailiffs gavel.
The witness is a bandboy and he in
dignantly repudiated the suggestion
that defendant 8 father got him his
place in the band. His story was to
the effect that Naone in school was a
sickly fellow. He looked miserable
and wan then. HIS appearance, as he
sat there in court, was much better
than when he went to school.
"He don't look very healthy, to tell
you the truth" was the expert opin-
ion ventured by Julius Caesar, refer
ring to Naone's present condition.
Mrs. Naone, mother of defendant,
was cross-examined in the morning.
Her voluntary evidence that she, rs
well as her grandfather, had been sub
ject to epileptical fits was stricken out
on motion of the prosecution, as hav-
ing not been brought out in her direct
examination.
Mrs. E. X. Rathburn, sister Of de-
PENDANT, testified to sieges of fever
Naone had undergone from childhood.
AS to one particular attack she was
unable to state the exact age of the
boy at the time. It was good many
years ago and the late DR.. Brodie was
the attending physician.
