1910, there was a fight at Equinunk,
Wayne county, Pa, between Millard
Lord, the son of Leona Lord, and
William Lord, the son of Silas E.
Lord, and you will consider the de-
tails of that fight and determine
what was the situation of the par
ties at that time and what were the
feelings and conduct and actions of
the defendant, Leona Lord, what
she was doing and what she said
during the progress of the fight, to
aid you, if you can, in determining
the other important issues in the
case.
Photographs were offered and ad-
mitted in evidence, showing the To-
cation of certain ditch in and about
which this fight occurred, and show
ing the respective houses of Leona
Lord and Silas q. Lord and the
street in front of the houses. These
photographs were offered to give you
better idea of the situation upon
the ground. And the evidence of
measurements has also been given to
show the distance the different par
ties who testified about this affair
were from the matters and words
of which they testified they saw or
heard.
Evidence is given to show that the
defendant, Leona Lord, was present
at this fight and that Silas e. Lord
was also present and that they were
near each other. Now, did Leona
Lord have a pick in her hand and
during that fight did she strike Silas
e. Lord with it?
William Lord testified that the de-
fendant had pick in her hands at
the time of the fight and tried to
strike him with it and that Samuel
Reed took the pick away from her.
Mrs. Media DEMO testified as fol-
lows: Mrs. Leona Lord came down
the steps and she stopped over like
that and then she picked up a pick
that was up on the dirt pile and she
said either, Damn him, kill him"
or damn him, | will kill him." and
she raised the pick over their heads,
and that is all know. At that time
Sam Reed was walking around and
Sike Lord stood there over the
boys"
Mrs. Logan testified, among other
things, that the defendant flew
across her porch and snatched up a
pick that lay on the dirt. In anoth-
er part of her testimony, she says,
Il could not see Mrs. Lord; l don't
know whether she stood one foot or
three feet back, but she had the pick
| in her hands and was striking. /
couldn't see who or what but | could
see legs come up occasionally as the
pick descended"
Mrs. Loretta Thomas testified: 81
! heard some one scream and | ran in
to the street and saw Mrs. Lord with
pick in her hands and Will Lord
and Millard Lord were lying on the
ground, and she had the pick draw
ed like this and she struck at Will,
l cuppose, he lay there anyway, and
she struck at him several times, and
then | saw Sam Reed take the pick
away from her and throw it on the
ground"
James Sherwood testified: Mrs
Leona Lord came off from her stoop,
down where they were fighting, and
she got kind of unto them, | guess,
and then Sike catched her, and she
picked up the pick, and Sammy
came and hit him on the head q

 The 'business house" mail is rushed here and there, but the real interest of the day begins about 10 o'clock.
 It's just about that hour when the fashy vaudeville girl who is here for a week at the Majestic, or the leading lady at the Bijou. saunters forth to inquire for her mail.
 They line up in front of the general de- livery window andd wait their turn.
 This type is always telling the girl with her:
 ''Of course, I would have had my let ters sent to the theatre, but you know how uncertain the stage hands are about mall"
 .'Yes," the other rejoins, "and you never can have your letters sent to the hotel in the town you play in, for you never know until you land there at which one you'll be stopping"
 No lady of the "vodeville'' comes with out professional cards to attest that she is the party to whom the registered" package is sent.

1 elegantly dressed stranger, who jumps
 out and runs up the steps, giving clues | to opulence passing ones tallest dreams. 1 The taxi waits while the fare" inside
 the postoffice, has draped herself effec-
 lively beside the writing places, to di-
 rect or inscribe a personal message on some dozen or two packages of souvenir post cards of Birmingham and vicinity. But the hours that are really most in- | teresting to the locker on in Venice are from Il to 3 o'clock.
 These are the hours when all the old gentlemen in town cown down to get their mail and see who else is getting
 mail besides.
 They then congregate sa bout the steps
 and seem greatly interested in all the crowds passing hther and thither. Here they hold their daily "experience'' meetings. Except on a rainy day, this crowd may
 be seen with their heads together and talking for hours and hours. I've often wondered what under the sun | they talk about-these old men. One speculates; perhaps of the past.
 or else the future; the present certainly could hold nothing for them. | Old and pitiful loolSing-life's derelicts. They seem as if they had three hours | off from some Old Mems Home and had come to see how the world is moving and what manner of man runs it nowadays. One afternoon last week two of the
 numerous crowd remained until rather
 late. They took seat on the steps, and there they stayed. <
 One could fancy that they were re-
 calling day when they were part of
 the living stream. hurrying this way and that to a business meeting. Maybe-now their heads closer togeth-
 er-they were dreaming over the dreams of the past, when life and love held them in thrall!
 What interest could they have in tho passing throng now; what could they be discussing except the past? It seemed queer that they still existed | in a world in which they, by all tokens of. happiness or fortune, ceased to be a
 part fully 20 years ago. But listen
 | story in the little situation and she didn't
 do a thing but put her wits to work and get busy.
 | As she came down the postoffice steps her skirts almost brushed one of the | incidents, and a throng coming up
 the steps of fiossy little girls, dapper | looking swells and all sorts and condi- tions of men, stopped traffic for mo- | ment and the interested one'' almost forgot her old friends until presently she heard one of them say: Look sharp Bill at that one goin up | the steps now. Ain't that one of those harem skirts that they've been raisill' | such a row about in the newspapers" "Dinged If it ain't," the other one re- piled, and followed with his eyes the
 modish vision in a tight fitting tailor made until it was out of sight "The interested one" nearly bent dou- hle laughing at these two old fossils. and since then she's been perfectly con fident that as old and out of date as the two old fellows look. when they are sad dest and most forlorn and deeply in- terested in their conversation, that it is
 not of the past they are reminiscing, but
 it is some cheerful topic of the present
 they are discussing, In which "hobble

 roles. W

 Those who witnessed the Passion Play at Oberammergau last summer will be in- terested in the changes among the people as related by a Birmingham woman who repeated her visit this summer She re- marked the other day that the players are scattered in every direction.

The handsome young plumber who took the part of John the Baptist had gone to Switzerland to drive an auto mobile. Ottilie Schwink who was the Virgin Mary, had been married to the son of the Burgomaster and therefore cannot play her part again, and Mary Mayer who was Mary Magdaen has gone to Paris. About the only figure in the whole of last seasons cast that remains unchanged is the dear Anton Lang, the Christus of the Passion Play, who, poor man, has been sorely tempted by a Bostonian to visit to visit the Holy Land and by a theatrical manager to visit America, hut whom I found in his workshop.
