The point was brought before the
court in the case of James Denmore
and Willie Wallace VS.. State. from
the Circuit Court of Hancock county.
The appellants were convicted of
criminally assaulting girl. After
the preliminary trial and while the
boys were being taken to Jail, one of
them charged the other with getting
him into trouble and quarrel .ensued,
which was overheard by lawyer
named Gets. The latter was calico
on to testify in behalf of the State at
the trial in the Circuit Court, which
resulted in a ten-year sentence of
each prisoner. Appeal to the Supreme
Court was taken and the chief point
set up was that the evidence of Gets
was wholly hearsay and therefore
not competent. In brief opinion by
Chief Justice Truly, the Supreme
Court held otherwise. s

A Harbor for AlrshIp.,


The first harbor for air-ships was
that erected for the aerial contest at
st. Louis. The ground made use of
for this purpose covered about four
teen acres. inclosed by q wall for the
protection OF the vessels making as
cent and descent. which operations
were greatly facilitated by substan.
tial shield. At the southeast corner
OF this structure were two stalls for
air-ships, each one 1SO feet long and
40 feet wide and 30 feet high. There
was also q shed 1S0 feet long and 20
foet wide, where were all the facili.
ties for making air-ship repairs and
accommodations for tho storage of
banast and other fmpedimenta. Tho
wall inclosing the harbor was 80 feet
high. The lower part Of this structure
was proof against the passage OF wind,
being absolutely tight to q point
twelve feet above the ground. The
upper part OF the barrier was Of lat.
tice-work. which had the effect Of tenn
pering the breezes to a considerable
extent. One Of the practical results
Of the interest aroused in aerial mat
ters by the contests at st. Louis is the
investigation of the upper air by the
means of balloons containing auto
notwithstanding instruments. and
by this means it is expected to secure
some very valuable data.
