EXPERT TO DEFENSE
Prosecutions Advisor Retained on
Side Of MChdmards.
Secret Experiments Have Been Made
--Miniture Times Build Will Be
Built for Destruction.

Los Angeles-Another of the wit
nesses who was depended on by the
state for important information in the
coming trial of the Mcnamara broth
ers on charge of murder resulting
from the explosion in the Los Angeles
Times Office has gone over to the de-
tense. John Birmingham, Jr., dy-
Mantle expert who is known in all
sections of San Francisco, and who
has testified as an expert in many of
the big trials in California wherein
dynamite was an element, has been
retained in an advisory capacity by
the defense.
He was closeted for two hours OF
more with Clarence barrow, CHIEF
counsel for the defense, and while
Birmingham refused to deny or admit
his connection with that side, it il
known from a source that is reliable
that he will be chief expert in matter!
relating to dynamite, its makeup, use
and effect.
1t is improbable that Birmingham
will appear as a witness in the case
although it is possible that he will b.
put on the stand to answer hypothe
tical questions. His first-hand knowl
edge of the effect of the explosive
that wrecked the Times building, tn,
steel girders and machinery will no
be questioned, according to the presen
plans. He is retained in consulting
| capacity.

GO ALoFT DESPITE LAVISH
Female Aviator's Wrist Cut RepelIine
Officers.

New York-Three Long Island dep
uty sheriffs undertook to preserve the
peace of the Sabbath by preventing
Earl L. Ovington and Miss Mathilde
Moisant, aviators, from attempting to
make flights at the Nassau boulevard.
The result was interesting.
Although the official meet of the
Aero club had been declared off, fol-
lowing a decision by the Supreme
court that Sunday meets at which adj
mission fees were charged were viola
tions of the law, Ovington and Miss
Moisant desired to make flights on
their own account. Miss Moisant flew
from the Nassau field to her hangar at
Mineola, and Ovington started on his
proposed fight to the Pacific Coast
with package of letters, having been
detailed by Postmaster General Hitch
cock as the first transcontinental
aerial mail carrier.
Miss Moisant landed on the property
of her brother, Alfred Moisant, and
Immediately trio of deputy sheriffs
attempted to arrest her.
Miss Moisant's brother said that his
sister had entered her automobile just
after alighting from her aeroplane,
and that the deputies attacked hei
chauffeur and severely dubbed him
when he refused to allow them to take
the woman from the automobile.
In the fracas Miss Moisant's wrist
was cut and she was much bruised and
shaken. The deputies had no warrant
to make an arrest.

The origin of the word chestnut

Ties That Bind.

A Philadelphia clubman, engaged in
buying a necktie for himself, turned
the pile over and over and at last put
aside two as not worthy of further
consideration. The salesman placed
the rejected ties in a separate box.
The clubman asked whether they had
been placed by mistake with those he
had been examining
"Oh. no." was the response; "but
we have orders when five or six men
turn down tie TO take it out and put
it aside"
"What becomes of them?"
"We sell them to women who come
in to buy ties for men," = Harper s

her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and q
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than

that, with all the evidence of shattered

from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial

ample time in which to prepare, but
