PHOTOGRAPHER USES
CHLOROFORM ON
SPRIGHTLY FISH

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Dr. Francis
Ward of Ipswich chloroforms fish
in order that he may obtain lifelike
photographs of them in their nat
ural environment.
THE greatest difficulty I had to
contend with in photogfaphing fish
in tanks was the rapid and unex-
pected movements Of the subjects, -
DR.. Ward explained. Eventually
I decided upon the process of
drawing the water slowly away
from the tank while at the same
time administering the chloroform
through another tube.
"At first the fish darted madly
from one side of the tank to the
other, but before long lassitude
overcame them and they rested laz-
lily near the bottom of the tank.
Thus | was able to make a protract-
ed Photographic exposure with ex-
cellent results"

MURDERER LOSES APPEAL.
Full Bench Of Supreme Court on Case Of
w. c. Howard, U, S. A.

FUN bench Of supreme court on case q
w. c. Howard, u S. A.
Boston, Feb. 24.-The full bench Of
the supreme court yesterday overruled
the defendants exceptions in the case
Of the Commonwealth vs. William g How
ard. convicted Of murder in the second
degree Of his wife. Ida Howard. Tie
case was tried in the superior court in
New Bedford early in 1909.
The defendant enlisted ia the army for
the second time in 1904, and was sent
to Fort Rodman. New Bedford The en-.
listment expired October 3, 1907. and he
went to Tennessee, where be was ae-
quainted. He married there, on October
26 1907, Ida Williams. Soon afterwards
he enlisted for the third time as q pri-
vate and returned to New Bedford His
wife joined him and for several months,
BIZ agreement, passed as his sister. The
couple had feared that if their mar.
riage became known TO Grace stmteyant
the latter might disclose the shooting
by Howard Of man named Dewhurst,
while in her company. As a result Of a
quarrel between Howard and his wife
the latter revealed the Dewhust affair,
and Howard was arrested, tried and
discharged. Miss sturtevant became
aware Of the marriage about that time
She was on intimate terms with How
ard.
On the evening Of September 20, 1908,
Mrs Howard, after having gone to bed,
arose and left the house Next day her
body was found III water only two feet
deep near the bridge in Padanaram.
The theory Of the government was
that after she arrived in Padanaram she
met Howard and that he murdered her
