DR.. ALExAhDE RTELLs
STORY OF KILLING O'NEAL
Wasn't Sure II Was O'Neal Until After
II Was All over-Says o'Neal
Made Desperate Lunee
at Him.
[By Associated Press. ]

Anson, Texas, July 2S.-The state
began taking evidence in rebuttal in
the Alexander trial today The pros.
poets are that the case will go to the
jury tomorrow evening.
Dr. Alexander this morning told the
first eyewitness story of the killing
OF ONeal He said he did not know
him, nor that O'Neal was going to be
in Stamford on that morning. He fol-
lowed him into the Stamford Inn wash
room. Entering that room behind
O'Neal, he heard Chauffeur Mack Rus
sell exclaim, "My God, there is the
doctor now!"
This remark and the description he
had heard made the doctor believe the
man was O'Neal. He said O'Neal made
a desperate lunge at him, and that he
(Alexander) fired as quick as possi-
bic. He knew he had killed the man
and was worried until he learned from
others for certain that he had not
killed someone else than O'Neal. He
said he believed O'Neal was armed.

ORIGIN OF A SLANG PHRASE
"Bughouse" Started When a Telegraph
Operator Found His Apparatus
Short-Circuited by Bug.

Slang, the German word for snake,
creeps into our language in spite. of our
vigilance" writes a. correspondent o.
the New York World. "To illustrate:
Some five or six years ago a certain
telegraph operator, Joe Lilly, in large
Baltimore office, called up Cincinnati
by telegraph, but could not make him
self understood, although he could cas-
lily understand the message sent him.
Then he called up other cities with the
same result. Evidently something was
wrong, SO he notified the electrician.
who on opening the box containing the
transmitting apparatus found a bug
which In the course of its wanderlust
had short-circuited the machine.
THE other operators gave the victim
horse laugh for having 'bughouse'
transmitter. Even the messengers ac-
cused each other of being 'bughouse,'
and inside of an hour it was flashed
from one city to another. But after a
while race of employees sprang up
who know not Joseph, and to these the
word 'bughouse conveyed not much
meaning.
Gould 'bughouse' compete with
crazy?' Well, for a time. 'bughouse'
had crazy beaten. but reaction set in
when some miscreant composed the
ditty, I May Be Crazy, But Amt No
Fool That put quietus on bug
be wished"

GUNNER WAS Nut FlATTERED
Ladies' Visiting the Warship "Put
Their Dirty Paws" All Over
His Immaculate Gun.

A company of ladies were visiting an
ironclad, and paused for moment on
the upper deck to examine the can
non. Their admiration was excited by
the shining condition of the great
monsters and one of the younger mem
bers of the party, standing near the
gun, placed her Acknowledgement hand
on the brass mountings, at the same
time making some remark about its
beautiful polish.
The gunner whose duty it was to
keep the brasswork bright did not ap.
pear to be greatly pleased with the
feminine compliments, and the ladies'
had no sooner moved away than he
seized a cloth, sprang to the cannon
which the young lady had touched and
commenced rubbing it fiercely, all the
while casting malevolent chances after
tie retreating party.
The officer of the deck noticed his
action. and remarked:
We'll. Smith, you don't seem tc be
tickled as should think man would
be with all that fiattery"
"Flattery!" said Smith, bitterly.
" Tain't enough for them to come and
look at it'--rub, rub, rub-"but they've
got to go and put their dirty paws all
over it." And he kept on scrubbinE
the brasswork with his fiercest en-
ergy.
