one of the extravagances ofAAmericap progress
he said
Mr. Pagan deprecated the theory often SET forth
that overwork of railroad employee was response

he said II am obliged to arrive at the CONCLUSION
that. taking everything into consideration the ran
working at high and long pressure actusilS
makes fewer mistakes than the man who works at
normal and long pressure or on LOAF FROM my
point of view the engineer brakeman or telegraph
operator who is busy all the time is as general
rule more reliable than the who is busy inter-
uittsntly''
The American railroad employe, Mr.. Fagan said.
is thoroughly capable and conversant with ms
duties from every conceivable point of view. but In
regard TO the wider issues and Responsiveness
which constitute the inspiration and incentive 10
the best work his education is and mas been saoy
neglected. SO positively hfeless ne cohlnueo'
has been this side OF his training on some rail-
roads that I think justified in saying that
altogether too many employees to-day think II as
easy for railroad corporation TO settle Dill TOT

pie are injured as it is for conductor TO punch

AT the afternoon session DR.. F. A. Stlllngs, the

advised medical connected with railways

road where the physician is supposed to render ser
vices. perha ps pass for his family occasionally
The services that surgeon may be required to
give in single wreck would be worth FAR more

To my question this surgeon said he accepted the
pass because it gave him certain amount Of pres

with Mrs Guinness. that he had chased Andrew
FIeIgeiein with gun and that Mrs. Guinness had
promised to marry Iamphere when he Joined Some
eecret society and took out insurance were the
sensa tfonal assertions made the witness stand
to-day By william Slater, friend and nelghbor OF
the defendant.
The first positive statement OF the defence IN
court to show the lines il intended TO follow vas
made BY one of Lamphere's attorneys. Nj. Worden
who while cross examining witness, remarked
that an effort would be made to show that MIS-
Guinness was suicide Along this line the defence
will contend that she first murdered her children
and then set fire 20 the house
II is not likely that Lamphere will take the stand
in his own defence II is said that his attorneys
fear that II Lamphere. in his present nervous con-
dition undertook 10 face 3 rigid cross-examina-
ton he would break down The state cannot re-
ouire him testify.
William Slater told the jury to-day that Lam
phere worked for him in the winter after he had
left Mrs Gunness's employ He said:
