l Before the coroner Leonard testified
 that when he came down stairs he
 saw the old man lying on the floor with a handkerchief over his mouth and that Bassett was searching the house. He did not recall this testi- | mony.
 After washing his coat Bassett tied the old mans hands with piece of rope He then said: Let's get out.'' Leonard looked behind. He was stand ing at the door and saw the old man was getting up. Bassett went over to him and picked up shot gun and hir nm several times on the head, knock ing him to the floor again.
 Cenesky and Leonard ran out of the house Cenesky was in the lead, ant Leonard shouted back to Bassett to let the old man alone. Bassett fol- lowed them also on the run and asked Cenesky what was he running for. On reaching the watering trough they dipped their handkerchiefs in it and
 tried to wash the blood off Bassett's clothes Then Leonard saw that his cuffs had blood spots, and he tried to wash them off He was
 certain that the stains came from Bassett's clothes, and he was equally certain that there were no blood spots on his hands.
 After washing up at the watering trough they took to the woods and has tened to Cenesky's house. There they stayed fifteen minutes. Cenesky's mother gave him a handful of small change and then they took the trolley car for Naugatuck, where they took a train for Bridgeport. They were all but stranded when they got there and had to pawn an overcoat and one of the revolvers to enable them to get to New York. At the Grand Central sta ton they parted, Bassett telling Leon ard and Cenesky to keep away from him. They did not meet again until they were arrested in New York. This story Leonard has told three times. He denied that he was ever promised clemency if he would make clean breast of the whole affair. While con fined in New Haven jail Leonard was in daily contact with Cenesky and Preston and he talked the matter over quite frequently with them, but he never said a word to Bassett about it. ' At press hour Cenesky was on the stand telling his story,

One generally thinks of the French language as being more musical than our harsher northern tongue. But the motor-hoot in French is a far mora ear-splitting affair than 1t is in Eng fish. To begin with. it is more often a siren than a boot. and all over Trance one now hears the long. ex- cruciating walls that are generally as- sociated with ships-or with souls in torment And when. as in some in- stances. a railway whistle is substi- tuted. and the automobile rushes shrieking over the countryside like an express train. the English tourist dis covers very emphaticaliy that he does not like the motor-horn with q French accent

ST. PAUL proposes to inaugu-
rate permanent tenure Of office
for teachers of recognized merit.
This policy is one which is very
gradually gaining in favor
throughout the state and must
eventually be adopted by every
school in Minnesota. In many
cities the superintendent is now
elected for a term of years and
in some few for an indefinite per.
iod. There should be a state law
by which it will be possible for
every school in the state tc
insure it's teachers permanent
positions as soon as they have de-
monstrated their ability and
trustWorthiness.
