fast sinking.
The colored man was walking near the
place at the time when he heard the
cries of the drowning boy. Without hes

plunged into the water. He went be-
meath the surface, but reappeared within
a few seconds as the boy sank for the
first time. He was several yards away

strokes reached the place where the boy
sank.

Handwriting Expert Insists That
Accused Did Not Make Out Slips.

The cross-examination by Attorney
Baker of DR. E. NJ. Schaeffer, the hand
writing expert called by the defense in
the case of Oden B. Gray, the former
Washing on Loan and Trust Company
empioye. on trial in Criminal Court No.
on charge of forgery. failed to Shake
the direct testimony of the witness.
DR.. Schaeffer insisted that. in his
opinion. The many dissimilarities in the
handwritings which he was called upon
10 compare showed that Gray had not
written the deposit slips in question.
The dull monotony of the court scene
was broken this morning when the six
month-old baby boy Of the defendant,
from his seat on his mothers lap, in
terrupted the testimony of the witness
and the cross-examination by the prose-
cutor with a series Of ''goo-goos' and
'da -das' gleefully emitted.
The jury smiled. Justice Gould found
il almost impossible to keep a straight
face Even the prosecutor showed
signs of being routed by the merriment
Of the baby.
Mrs. Gray. unable to suppress the
baby's apparent satisfaction at the way
things were proceeding in the trial, left
the courtroom.
DR.. Schaeffer admitted that the forma-
tion of several letters in the disputed
writings was sufficiently similar to tho
same letters in the admitted writing of
the defendant as to admit of a possi-
bility that the same person had written
them.

James w. Malonee. a printer. who had

Press. shot himself and died almost in
stantly Yesterday afternoon. A short
while before he killed himself he asked a
young woman to marry him. She refused
him, but expressed a friendly regard for
him.
Mallonee then went to the office where
he was employed. He descended to the
cellar and later came up the stairs. at
tracing attention by the noise he made
at the door. Miss Duvall, an employe of
the Office, was alone at the time. She
heard him groaning and discovered that
he was trying to put a pistol to his left
temple. She ran into the drug store of
DIR. B. H. Trowbridge and gave the alarm.
B. H. Grfsmond and Dr. Trowbridge hur-
ried to the Office and found that Mallonee
had shot himself. They loosened his COL
lar but he died shortly without uttering a
word. 1t is supposed that he turned the
pistol on himself while he was working
at the cellar door. because Miss DuvalI
did not hear the report of the shot, which
penetrated his heart.
