History of Famous Criminal Case Up to Present
 Time
TWO MEN HAVE BEEN
 EXECUTED FOR CRIME
Lawyers Closed Arguments in Pre- liminary Trial Yesterday and the Prisoner Was demanded Back
 to Jail for Grand Jury

1 "The defendant Is bound over to
 await the action of the grand jury
 without bond.9 said Judge H. B. Ab- ernethy at the close of the argument for the state made by Circuit Solicitor Joseph R. Tate, in the preliminary hearing yesterday of James Pettitt, alias James Rooney, alias New York Harry" charged with the murder of officers Adams and Kirkley on March 27, 1900.
 The evidence was all taken by noon and when the arguments began So- licitor Tate opened for the state and presented the states contention that a case had been clearly made out against the defendant, and that he should be bound over to the grand jury on the evidence submitted. White Gibson made a strong argument for the de- fense He severely arraigned Hardy T. Gregory. the post office inspector, who has been attending the trial; also he discredited the testimony of Fay, Ed wards, and Wilson, all of whom are ex-convicts and on whose evidence the state principally relied. He was fol- lowed by MT. Tate, who made the clos ing argument

Witnesses Examined Yesterday

l m members of the safe bloWlng gang, including Miller, Duncan, Fay. "Sheeny Bugs shenandoah Red" and a man known as New York Harry" He said the defendant was not the man who was in his saloon on the day of the killing.
 C. w. Austin, former chief of po- 1 lice, told of the Identification of Mil Ter and Duncan by officer Adams just before he died. Chief Bodeker told of the work of running the safe blow CTS to earth and of their subsequent conviction. Dr. Charles Whelan and sev- eraI other witnesses were examined | and, the defense resting, the prisoner did not take the stand in his own be- half. The theory of the defense is that the ex-convicts were influenced by promise l of a pardon to testify against Pettitt, as each of them has been released from prison. They denied that the prisoner | is New York Harry" and deny that he has any knowledge of the kill ing.
 l There was an enormous crowd at the
 trial yesterday. The case has attract ed much attention from the fact that so much notoriety was occasioned by
 the many sensational incidents that happened during the capture and trial of the members of the gang, of which lit is claimed New York Harry was a
 member. It might be mentioned that
 the grand jury of jefferson county
 complimented George II. Bodeker and lJ. w. Disheroon for their splendid work in running down and capturing the as sassins of the two policemen.

Duncan Escapes


 On the morning of January 20, 1902, the startling intelligence came out that Frank Duncan had escaped from the county jail with three other prisoners. | An investigation showed that the pris- oners had sawed their way through two walls of steel and had picked and sawed through several locks. It was supposed at that time that the prison CTS had assistance from the outside. Duncan got away. and not withstand ing the large reward offered by Sheriff | Rurgin and the state authorities, he remained uncaptured.
 On September 5, f90f. word was re- ceived by Sheriff Burgin that a safe | blower had been captured in Florida | that answered the description of Frank | Duncan. The prisoner was identified as the missing prisoner and brought back to Birmingham. and resentenced for the crime for which he had been convicted. His attorneys made one of the strong ! est efforts to save him from the gall | lows but the supreme court refused to Interfere. Governor Cunningham was petitioned to extend executive elem i ency. but all efforts were unavailfng land Duncan was executed on the 25th day of November, 1904. He died game and protested his innocence from the | gallows.
 Tom Fay was copvicted of safe blow l ing and sentenced to 19 years in the penitentiary Frank Edwards was also convicted and sentenced to 25 years They both have been pardoned for good behavior and II is understood are in the employ of the Tennessee company as mine foremcn.

Baltimore is the biggest city in the
country today, and June 25th, next, is
its proudest date. For the sixth time
in its history the Democratic party
will hold its national convention in
Baltimore, it was in that city that the
first Democratic convention was held.
when Andrew Jackson was nominated
by reclamation. The past shows that
more successful Democratic Presiden-
tial candidates have been nominated in
Baltimore than any where else, and
while there are some who cling to fav-
orable omens, there are others, how
ever, who will recall that it was at
Baltimore in 1860 the Democratic party
split. 1t is poor augury that does

hair, however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages of being young
Aside from the good impression a
youthful appearance makes on others,
simply knowing that you are looking
fit" gives one courage to undertake
and accomplish things. So Why suffer
the handicap of looking old on account
of gray hairs, when a simple remedy
will give your hair youthful color and
beauty in few days time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as a color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmoth-
ers used Sage Tea" for keeping
their hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In

edy we have an ideal preparation OF

err valuable remedies for dandruff, itch
ing scalp and thin, weak hair that il

liable remedy will bring back tn
color, and in a short time it will re
move every trace of dandruff an

pearance of the hair.

Nc cARTY TO BOX STEWART.

New York, Aug, 5-Luther McCarty
from Missouri, the 1S-karat white
hope who knocked out Carl Morris
some months ago, will box Jim Stew
art, of Brooklyn ten rounds at Madi-
son Square Garden tonight. The true
of McCarty is expected to show itself
tonight. Stewart is not the most far
midable heavyweight in the world, but
he should furnish opposition to bring
out whatever good points McCarty
may possess. The Brooknite has had
plenty of experience, is fairly clever,
can hit with considerable force and
is big and strong. He is not able to
withstand a great amount of punish
ment, however, and If McCarty can
land his right uppercuts sudden end
ing may be looked for. But McCarty
will have to show some skill in order
to be able to plant his fists, for Stew
art is not one to take chances and re
sort to smuggling.

UTILIZING WASTE STEAM.

1t has become quite the general !
practice to utilizeing bit Of scrap and
waste about our Observation-Disclosures
the annual dividends would shrink !
amazingly. Not until vey recently
did factory CWrers understand tnat
one of the greatest losses about manu-
featuring was issuing from the en-
haust pipe in the engine room. 1t re-
manned for the steam turbine engine
TO determine hu1 there !: aim 81 us
much power escaping in the steam eX-
hausted from the old reciprocating
engines as they managed to extract
from it at high pressure.
In the plant of the Indiana Steel &
Wire Company, at Muncie, Indiana,
two large steam engines operate a
series of wire fence and wire nail
machinery, receiving steam at pres
sure of 100 pounds. These engines
did not furnish sufficient power to
drive the wire drawing machine so
electric power was bought for this
purpose. Then, one bright morning,
along came an egineer and took a
look at the exhaust pipe. In five min
utes he was interviewing the manager
telling him how foolish he was to buy
large quantities of electric power
when more than enough energy was
being wasted from the exhaust pipe
He reduced this waste TO dollars ant
cents and went away with an orde
for a low pressure steam turbine il
his pocket.
Accordingly, an 800 horse powe
Curtis turbine was installed takin
steam from the exhaust at one poun
pressure. This turbine now carrie
n the entire motor load of 800 hors
power, using steam that was formerl
allowed to waste, and this econom
has been effected without increasin
6 the size of the engine room, the nun
g Der of boilers, or the number of oper
n tors of the plant.
