THE JUDGES CHARGE.

Judge Reid, in his charge to the jury
Friday afternoon, told them, In effect,
that only a verdict of first degree muir
der or one of not guilty could be re-
turned. He Instructed the jurymen
that If it was found that one of the de-
PENDANTS fred the bullet that killed
Harp, and If the evidence showed that
he was aided and abetted by the other
two defendants, that all three were
guilty.
the two others were not accessories,
they should be found not guilty. He
also laid stress on the fact that the
Deitzes had a right to defend them
selves and their home If they were not
convinced, on the day of Harp's death,
that che deputies had warrants permit
ting them legally to enter the premises
and arrest Deitz.
LAWYER WOULD HAVE
STRENGTHENED CASE.
Judge Reid. speaking of the case
and the verdict, said:
"If John Deitz had had an attorney
his defense would undoubtedly haYe
been presented in more forcible form.
HIS CONDUCT OF CASE REMARK
ABLE.
what effect that would have had
on the jury is, of course, problemat1cal.
I can say, however, that his conduct
of the defense was remarkable from a
man without legal education He COW
cred the defense fairly well, and
touched on all the material arguments
an attorney might have brought forth.
HOW hE HURT HIS OWN CASE.
''F'or instance" Judge Reid said, IF
John Deitz had had an attorney, a
good deal of evidence that went in that
hurt the case of the defense, never
would have gone before the jury-I re-
FER to evidence brought out BY the de-
ferse itself. You remember how John
Deitz cross-exanlined Carl Jonas, the
former deputy United States marshal
who testified for the state to being
beaten on the head by Deitz with the
butt end of a revolver, when he went
there to serve papers. And the redi-
rect examination of Richard Krantz,
one OF the defense's witnesses, was an
other instance where the defense hurt
Itself. and where an attorney could
have prevented it.

Among a collection Of articles used
by burglars when engaged in their ne
farious calling is one particular con-
trivance that arouses great interest.
In appearance It resembles large
umbrella that has seen hard service.
1t was formerly the property Of a bur-
glar, and 1t was by its means that he
was able to enter the second story Of a
building. Removing the cover, a stick
wound with ropes is revealed. The
stick opens like a telescope or a joint
ed fishing rod Wound round 1t is a
rope ladder made Of strong material
and about thirteen feet In length. The
ladder is only wide enough for one
foot to be placed on the rungs. The
extending stick was used to raise one
end Of the ladder to the window
through which the operator wl11ed to
enter, and on the upper end Of the
ladder are two hooks to be fastened
to the sill. This imitation umbrella is
regarded as one OF the most ingenious
affairs ever made use Of by a thief

In order to avert the most serious
thing Of having a child take the wrong
medicine, mothers should adhere to the

Never give medicine in the dark.
Always read the label on the bottle.
Never go by the color of the medi-

When the bottle is refilled see that
the label reads clear.
Keep poisons locked up.
Keep all bottles locked up in draw

Wonderful AnimalcuIae.

OF all the minute creatures that in
habit this globe unseen by the naked
eye there is none so astonishing, ac-
cording to the Scientific American, as
the little living things that live in
stagnant water. They are called slip
per animalculae, or, as the scientist
has 1t, the paramecium. These tiny,
invisible things develop so rapidly that
II they were able to live through $50
generations they would crowd every
other living thing of the face of the
earth and form mass larger than the
planet itself. Should they go on re-
producing until the nine hundrAith
generation these little creatures would
form a mass large enough to crowd
the moon and stars and even the sun
entirely out Of space. Luckily for us
this is not possible, according to ma
lures decree. The paramecium dies
after it has attained the one hundred
and SEVENTEEN generation. and so the
awful possibilities are checked Of its
multiplying to All the universe.
