No Matter What Color.

The finest contour OF a female face. the

something If the head is rowne with
acant hair. Scant and falling hair. it is
now known. is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the

burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently. then. and to stop

HIS REVOLVER.

fists. He dropped the revolver and
ran out. I picked il up and ran away
TO Railway. had She revolver when
arrested
Prosecutor Berdine, on cross-exam-
ination, had Longo Illustrate how the
three men stood in the saloon when
the controversy started and when the
stabbing took place. The prosecutor
had Longo leave the stand and come
down in front of the jury. Detective
Peltier was called to stand between
Longo and the prosecutor, the detec-
tive representing lacoby and the
prosecutor Brescia. Longo then
showed how Brescia held the revolver
In his left hand, how he held the
s~tiletto and how the stabbing was
done. His story that Brescia held the
revolver in the left hand is plausible
as Brescia had all the fingers of his
right hand cut of.
Prosecutor Berdine closely ques-
toned him as to why he carried the
~stiletto and the witness insisted it was
because he had been told by several
persons that Brescia, intended to kill
him. He also said he took the car
tridges out of the revolver, Brescia
dropped when he was in the woods on
his way to Railway trying to escape.
He knew they would catch him and
he had the revolver to show that
Brescia carried it. He was very frank
and said that he wanted to get away
and told a fair story.
Longo was asked why it was that he
continued the quarrel when he knew
Brescia had made such threats, why
he>did not go away and leave him.
Longo said he knew Brescia had a
gun, but he did not go out when
Brescia called him names. Longo
again left the stand and with the
%conrt's gavel illustrated on the prose-
cutor where he stabbed Brescia. He
said he did not intend to hit him in
the neck but in the shoulder. Prose-
cutor Berdine wanted the knife used
to illustrate the stabbing, but Justice
Fort did not relish the idea and hand
ed the witness the gavel.
The witness said he had told Officer
Donovan he was not sorry he had
killed Brescia and told the court and
jury he felt.so as it was better to kill
him than be killed himself.
Longo was the chief witness for
himself. Alfred Longo, who said he
was no relative of the defendant, and
Michael Falconi and Amhula Furix
testified to telling Longo that Brescia
was going to kill him. Brescia had
told them II or the other must die.
William H. Nash testified to Con-
stanzo dropping a revolver in his place
one day when he and Longo had some
words and wanted fight. Charles
Solomon was also called as to a Jail
conversation. The defense then rested.
Justice Fort then adjourned the case
until this morning. Officers Gordon
and Grover were sworn to take charge
of the. jury until 10 o'clock this morn
ing and they spent the night at the
Mansion House. aaa{
