MURDER SUSPECT WRIGHT
PROBABLY WILL GO FREE
No Evidence to Support Theory That
Denver Man Poisoned His
Wife and Child

DENVER, March 1s.-Unless new
ana Importance evidence is found
against Benjamin C. Wright he prob
ably will never be tried upon the
charge of having murdered his wife
and child. District Attorney George A.
Stidger admits that evidence to con-
vict the man is lacking. The alleged
confession made by Wright to Chief
of Police Delaney is said to be worth
less as evidence, having been obtained
by use of physical force.
No poison was found in the bodies of
Mrs. Wright and her child and 1t is
claimed by the defense that their
deaths probably were caused by car
hon dioxide from a defective gas
heater. AS a test of this theory the
defense placed a dog in the house with
the gas heater burning and after two
hours the animal was taken out as
asphyxiated.

Bitter Wit.

Samuel Rogers, the banker poet,
was noted for his bitter wit, for
which, however, he had an excuse.
'"They tell me l say i'll natured
things" he once observed in his
slow, quiet, deliberate way. 81 have
very weak voice. If l did not say
ill natured things no one would
hear what / said"
1t was owing to this weakness of
voice that no candles were put on
his dinner table, for glare and noise
go together, and dimness subdues
the voices in conversation as hand
kerchief thrown over the cage of a
canary subdues its song. The light
was thrown upon the walls and pic
lures and shaded from the room.
This did not suit Sydney Smith,
who said that dinner in st. James
place was "a flood of light on all
above, and below nothing but dark
ness and gnashing of teeth"

His OnportunitY.

A Buffalo physician tells of two
young friends in that city who en-.
tered simultaneously upon their re-
spective careers of physician and
lawyer. Late one afternoon the
newly made medico dashed into the
room of his legal friend, exclaiming
"Great luck, old man! Congratu-
late me! Got patient at last! On
my way to see him noww Where
upon the legal light to be slapped
his friend on the back, saying, 'De-
lighted, old chapp' Then, after a
slight pause, he added, with sly
grin: 'Say, let me go with you!
Perhaps he hasn't made his will"

Too Generous.

A lady travelling as a first class
passenger was much distressed by
the plight of her valuable young
collie, which at Preston station fell
between the footboard of the train
and the platform. She appealed to
porter to save it, and the man
crawled underneath the carriage
and dragged the animal out, al
though the dog bit his hand several
times. Having got her pet safely
in her compartment, the lady re-
warded the man who had rescued it
from almost certain death with a
threepenny bit. = st. James Ga

Of Australia's Tyre bird a natural
ist writes: at initiates the notes
and songs of other birds and repro
duces Kissing noise similar to that
uttered by an alarmed snake and a
sharp knocking sound like that pro-
duced by striking a tree trunk with
stick. All these sounds are utter
ed apparently for the birds own
amusement The sounds of imita-
tion include the calls and cries of
every creature that is found in the
localities which the Tyre bird inhab-
its, including those of such noisy
birds as the eagle and the laughing
jackass. The Tyre bird nearly al
ways interposes snatches of its own
song between its mimic cries"
