WIFE CHIEF WITNESS
UNUSUAL SITUATION IN LONG
ISLAND MURDER TRIAL.

RIVERHEAD, L. l., January 2S.-The
unusual spectacle Of a wife appearing as
one of the principal witnesses against her
husband charged with a capital crime will
be witnessed In the supreme court here this
week, when DR.. James w. Simpson. q
prominent dentist, goes on trial for his life.
Simpson Is charged with the murder Of his
father-in-law, BARLEY Horner, a wealthy

death in his house on December II, 1906.
Simpson was arrested soon after the
tragedy and has been in jail more than a
year. His trial will begin before Justice
]. w. Kelly and jury today.
1t has never been denied that the gun
from which the fatal shot was discharged
was held by Simpson. From the first, how
ever, the accused man maintained that the
tragedy was entirely the result of an acci-
dent. At first his story was accepted. but
quent Quarrels between Simpson and Hor-
ner began to circulate, and few days
after the shooting Simpson was taken into
custody on charge Of murder.
Shot as He Entered Room.
DR.. Simpson had been in the woods all
day December q, and, according to his
story, was preparing to clean the gun In
the kitchen when his father-in-law came in.
Just as Horner came through the door the
doctor broke the gun and two shells
which had not been removed from the
weapon were discharged. The contents of
both shells lodged in Horners body, caus-
ing a wound which resulted in his death.
Mrs. Simpson. who will be one of the
principal witnesses for the prosecution, was
one Of the first persons to reach the side
of her stricken father. The only eye
witnesses to the tragedy was Polish
chore boy employed in the Horner home.
His mind failed soon after the tragedy and
he Is now an inmate of an insane asylum.
He will not now be competent to appear as
witness.

HOW WE WALK.
The Muscles Used and the Mechanical
Work They Do.


The chief muscles concerned in
walking are those in the calf and
back of the leg, which, by pulling
up the heel, also pull up the bones
of the foot connected with it, and
then the whole body, the weight of
which is passed on through the
bones of the leg. When walking the
trunk is thrown forward so that it
would fall down PROSTATE were not
the right foot planted in time to
support it. The calf muscles are
helped in this action by those on
the front of the trunk and legs,
which contract and pull the body
forward, and, the trunk slanting
forward when the heel is raised by
the calf muscles, the whole body
will be raised and pushed forward
and upward. This advancement of
each leg is effected partly by mus
cular action, the muscles used being
~ those On the front of the thigh,
bending it forward on the pelvis;
(2) the hamstring muscles, which
slightly bend the leg on the thigh;
81 the muscles on the front of the
leg, which raise the front of the
foot and toes, preventing the lat
ter, in swinging forward, from
hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground the action of the other has
not ceased. There is another point
in walking, The body is constantly
supported and balanced on each leg
alternately and therefore on only
one at once; hence there must be
some means for throwing the CEN
ter of gravity over the line of sup
port formed by the bones of each
leg, as it supports the weight of the
body. This is done in various ways.
and hence the difference in the walk
of different people. There may be
slight rotation at the hip joint,
bringing the center of gravity Of
the body over theafoot of this side.
This rocking" motion of the trunk
and thigh is accompanied by a
movement of the whole trunk and
leg over the foot planted on the
ground and is accompanied by q
compensating outward movement at
the hip. The body rises and swings
alternately from one side to the 9TH
er as its center of gravity comes
alternately over one or the other
leg, and the curvature of the spinal
bones is altered with the varying
position of the weight. - London

days afterward during service, when
the sermon was in full swing, there
was a Gathering up the aisle. 1t
