before they could go to his assistance
they heard the report of revolver and
saw the officers body fall to the ground
They hurried to his aid, while the men
who had held him up escaped.
Stammer and Potztsa were placed on
the stand, their testimony being the same
as that of the lieutenant.
Several other witnesses were examined,
but no new light was thrown on the case.
Formally Held
At the close of the examination Attor-
ney Fleming spoke briefly of the testi-
mony which had been given.
Justice Chambers ordered Meskil and
Robe to stand up. They went forward to
the judges desk, closely guarded.
81 find the evidence against you sufh-
cient to hold you on the charge under
which you were arrested" said the JUS
tice, land 1 therefore order that you be
placed in custody of the sheriff and held
without bail to answer to the charge of
murder In the first degree"
AS he spoke Robe sank back in his
chair, as if overwhelmed by the shock,
but Meskil, with brazen air. turned and
picked up his hat, and then stood await
ing the officers who were to accompany
him to his cell. AS he stood he nervously
glanced about as If seeking chance to
escape.
AS Robe left the court room he was
allowed to stop for moment and press
his lips to the cheek of the tiny baby held
toward him by his WIFE, A few whispered
words passed between the couple, and
then the young man was led away, while
his grief stricken wife, with tear dimmed
eyes, turned from the court room. The
sweet faced little woman was overcome.
"Oh, why do they hold Rolla?" she
sobbed. He was always so good. He
meant no harm He was sorry he could
not work and felt sorry to see me work
ing to support baby and myself. If they
would let me talk to them and tell them
how kind he has always been they would
let him co.
Heavily Handcuffed
Shortly after 6 o'clock 1t was decided to
remove the accused men from the city jail
to the safer quarters at the county jail
in accordance with the instructions of the
Judge They were placed in the patrol
wagon and an effort made to keep the
fact that they were to be removed a
secret. Word spread among the crowd
which still awaited outside, however, and
hundreds followed the wagon with its
heavily shackled occupants.
On the trip the men were handcuffed to-
gether and then handcuffed again on
each side to detectives.
This morning the men will be taken be-
fore Judge Smith at o'clock. the case
having been assigned to his department
of the superior court yesterday afternoon
by Judge Monroe. 1t is expected the trial
will begin early next week, and, accord
ing to Prosecuting Attorney Fleming,
who will assist District Attorney Fred
ericks in conducting the case will last
hut a few days.
1--WE, of course, did not expect any diff
ferent result" said Mr.. Fleming yester-
day at the close of the examination. 1--WE
had proof the men were the guilty par
ties and knew beforehand what they
would testify to-"

BOARD FINDS FEW
PAYING STREET FEES
CONTRACTORS SAY COMMISSIONS
ARE RARE
Public Works Body Hears Testimony
Relative to Practice of Paying
for Use of Names on
Petitions

After a long hearing in which contrac-
tors gave their testimony, the board OF
public works reached the conclusion yes
terday that the practice of giving COM
missions was not as general as is sup
posed.
The hearing grew out o. the charges
filed by Perry Werdir against Ralph Sulli-
van in the Jefferson STREET controversy,
the issue raised being that commissions
were paid by some contractors to those
who circulated petitions.
A half dozen contractors who testified
said that seldom were commissions paid
to their knowledge, and on this showing
the board decided that the fees were not
general
Just what will be done with future con-
tracts did not come up, but 1t has been
stated that the board may require affi-
davits from contractors showing just how
much has been paid in preliminary work.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., j unc S.-Three

received a letter inquiring for pub
LEGATION. Framed In a foreign hand,
upon a scrap Of paper and expressed
in Quaint English, intellectually men
toned some curious experiments which
the author had made in odd moments.
With a small camera which he held in
his hand and lfrerolyed from side to
side, he had taken some photographs
of lightning. He encolsel q print in
his letter and wanted to know If his
results had any scientific value.
The idea of photographing lightning
With q moving camera was a novel one
to the Smithsonian cxrerts, and after
an investigation these officials decided
that such experiments Were worthy OF
assistance. a grant was therefore vol
unfairly made to enable the continu-
ancc of this photographing with more
accurate apparatus.

 A survey is being made of the roadway in Watertown where St Johns church and the property of Emil c. Marggraff and Merritt Hem- inway is said to be encroaching upon the trolley extension. It is over 100 years since the last survey was made and no one living can now be found who has any idea of it's boundaries. The board of select men claim that the highway has been encroached upon by those who dispute the right of way of the troll ley company, while the latter insist to the contrary. Rapid progress of extending the trolley tracks is of the most vital importance to the trolley while a knowledge of the accurate lines of the highway is of equal value to the property owners and the town of Watertown.

Anyone who wishes to join one or more of the classes at the association may do so by calling on Mrs Hayes at the rooms or by attending any of the classes at any time. The opening of class work this fall has been most encour- aging and gives promise of a pros- porous future for the association.
