became familiar with what was known
as the stranglers knot.
How many victims have you seen
with the strangers knott" asked
Atty. McGillicuddy.
Saw one at Austin, Texas. Was a
Ieowboy there. Heard a man had been
found strangled. The knot was made
with a sailors cod line" Witness had
seen two more dead victims in the
diamond fields in Africa; had seen
the cord fastened around their necks
| 1t was a common device used by
thugs for robbery in these countries
| Witness had examined the Hackett
| death moose, he stated. He was then
ordered by Mr.. MeGillieuddy to make
a strangers knot" He made the
bovine and then asked for a vic
| tim.
| Mr.. MeGillieuddy offered himself as
the victim and allowed the cord To
be put on his neck. Mr.. Burns ex-
planned that the cord was put on from
behind. The moose was put over the
] Lewiston congressmans neck. 1t was
sometimes done with a granny or slip
knot. Mr. Burns said. The knot could
be loosened if the object was only
| for robbery, so that the victim could
revive. A great deal of practice was
needed and also a great deal of
strength and skill.
| Would a woman have strength
| enough to do it?'
"She would have to be pretty strong
| and have a great deal of practice"
In the cross examination b. Atty.
General Pattangall the knot was tied
over a mallet head and cut. 1t was
then compared with the knotted rope
taken from Matte Hackett's neck and
did not correspond.
II could do it better if l had your
neck, said the witness to the attor-
ney general"
Further experiments were tried with
the mallet and while Mr.. Burns was
able to get the six ends as in the
Hackett death moose, the strangers
moose failed to correspond in other
details. Witness said that as long as
the loop was made any other knot
than a bowline would answer as well.
Witness admitted that after rope
was placed on victims neck it could
be frightened very easily and very
quickly.

A Century AGO.

One hundred years ago saw the end
OF the Chatillon congress which had
been endeavoring to settle upon terms
Of peace between France and the ma
tions allied against her From the be
ginning of the negotiations little hope
had been entertained on either side
that an agreement would be reached
Napoleon consented to give up West
phalia, Holland and Spain, to restore
the pope of Rome and Ferdinand VII
to Madrid. He agreed to give NJ
Malta to England, as well as most OF
her colonial conquests. But he re-
mained steadfast in claiming for
France her natural limits, the Rhine
and the Alps. The plenipotentiaries,
deciding that further discussion would
be useless, declared the negotiations
at an end and the allied armies pre-.
pared to resume their march on Paris.
