BigeIoW Stands Erect.

Bigelow entered the courtroom from
the witnesses ante-room when he
was called and walked with firm, even
steps to the witness stand. He held
his head erect, looking neither to the
right or lett and appeared oblivious OF
the eager crowd of onlookers in the
courtroom.
For an instant he stood at the
of the witness stand, looking into the
face of Judge Quarles, his friend for
many years, but not a sign of recog-
milton passed between them. Only
the gravity and pallor of Judge
Quarles' face showed the painfulness
of the situation for him.
Bigelow then raised his hand and
took the oath. He seated himself
composedly his left leg thrown negli.
gently across his right, his hands ly-
ing in his lap, and listened with close
attention to the argument which en-
sued upon the first question which was
asked of him.

Electric company or the Northwestern

This brought out the hottest argu-
ment of the day, all of the attorneys
participating in it and contending Wig
orously for their side. The govern,
ment held that it was immaterial un
less the question was confined to spe-
cific charges of the Indictment The
defense insisted that it had a right
to show that Bigelow by long course
of instructions had caused the books
to be falsified and that Coll was just1-
fed in believing that all the orders
were correct and lawful

Questioned About Gordon.

cat various times between Septem-
Der 1904 and April 1905, what is the
fact as to Gordon Bigelow's being per-
mitted to overdraw his account and by
whose direction it was allowed asked
Mr.. Rubin.
The question elected an objection
from the government attorney and a
short argument followed. At last the
witness was permitted to answer.
The room was as still as death.
Every ear was strained to catch the
w rds of the fallen fnancier. with a
voice as calm and even as in his palm
les, days Bigelow answered:
Il do not think there was ever a
specific instruction to pay all of
Gordon's checks that might come in,
but l always took care of them"
What directions did you give con-
corning the holding of his checks at
different times?"
Thi, elected another objec :iJ.l tho
government insisting that what direc
tons were given by the president to
the assistant cashier, could not be
material. But the objection did mol
bring out the argument which was
looked for and the witness was per,
mitted to answer.
Il cannot remember unless the spe-
cifc items We're given me. l think
remember of one or two checks being
held by the exchange teller replied
Bigelow.
Many Objections by Government.
Throughout Bigelow's examination,
which was continually interrupted by
objections from the government at
torney, the witness was thoroughly in
command of himself and apparently
was completely self-possessed. Once
or twice, when questions were repeat
ed by the stenographer, he corrected
her, calling attention to the fact that
she did not read the question re-
CURED. In fact he seemed more at
ease than any one else participating
in the trial, except the court.
Estate what the fact is as to charge
tickets being made by this defendant,

the command Of Queen Elizabeth and
printed in 1868. The purpose of the
book was to define the doctrines, dlsci-
pline and ritual Of the English church,
so that uniformity should be secured in
Great Britain. This book was the d.
rect origin of denomlnatlonal title in
England, for, after its publication,
Sampson, dean of Chrstchurch, in OK

talking Pins" he said, "cause I'M

The right way to fasten things Is with
buttons and buttonholes or with loops
and frogs. To fasten things with pins
Is to make use of an untidy makeshlft.
To employ pins Is to become lazy and

LEAD GLASS.
The Processes by which II Ia Gut
and Polished.

The Processes by which IL Is Out
and Polished.
Designs to be followed by the cutter
are first drawn on the blank or plain
glass with whiting and water and then
traced with red lead and turpentine.
The first cutting Is classed as trough
ing" in the glass factory, when the
glass is cut or ground out wherever
there Is q red line The first cutting
or roughlng is with a soft steel disk on
which there flows a small stream of
water and very fine sand. The disk is
in q lathe, and the glass Is held by
the hands of the cutter, and on his
ability to firmly hold the glass and
true eyesight to see that lines are fol-
lowed depends the quality Of the arti-
Gle.
Cut glass in blank or plain form Is
known as lead glass or best metal
glass, crushing or collapsing like sand
instead of SCATTERING or breaking like
window or lime glass.
From the roughing or first cutting
the article being cut goes to the
smoothing process, the same lines or
cutting being followed on two stone
disks, one of Graiglelgh or gas stone
imported from England and the other
of blue stone, the finest cutting being
done with the latter. The polishing Is
done with wooden disks, from which
the glass goes to an acid bath and
thence back to the polisher, who uses
d chemical compound like putty, and
finally to felt disk or wheel, then the
brush wheel and finally the wash with
water.
