No Discussion at Lunch.

At lunch at the Murray Hill they
did not discuss the trial. There was
no mention made OF the Justices
charge. They talked about matters
far apart from the grave business on
which they were engaged. Attended by
Capt. Lynch and members OF the court
squad, they ate their luncheon In their
private dining room at the hotel
They were permitted to glance at news
papers from which had been clipped all
articles concerning the trial or bear
ing on It. Their newspapers were
pretty well shredded when Capt
Lynch got through with his shearing
but It was the order OF the court The
stock market, the big items of domes'

at, but yesterday. as on the day be-

while lines Of policemen on the street
kept away all persons from the front
and sides Of the line.
The efforts Of newspaper men to get
from the jurymen any statement re-
garding what occurred In the jury room
were met with refusal to say anything
about the deliberations. Harold g. Skin
ner. foreman of the jury, said that the
Jurors had been particularly instructed
by Justice Con- not to discuss the case
in any way after the verdict or to give
any inkilng Of what had been said and
done by them in their consideration of
the case.

Extraordinary precautions were taken
to prevent the Jurors from being ap-

and the Criminal Courts Building. Capt.

was on hand with twenty-five policemen
in uniform.
Justice Con-, as soon as he arrived a,

strIctcst regulations regarding entry to
the court room. No one without the

enter and the corridors Of the building
were kept free Of hangers on.

Of the jury. the court room was crowded.
Policemen barred hundreds from the
doors There was no room for q tenth

charge to the jury. The gaze OF the 800
or more who were In the court room
and who watched closely Lieut.. Becker Q
face and movements as the Justice deliv-
cred charge that was unQuestionably a
blow to the defence, was the worst ordeal
that the defendant has had to endure
since the trial began. 1t was apparent
that he knew he was being scrutinized.
He held himself rigidly under control
Now and then his black eyes glowed
with anger. Now and then he passed
hiI hand over his mouth to conceal some
expression. And occasionally he turned
to his lawyers with an audible protest
or comment on the Justices remarks
But he bore himself more certainly than
on some previous days.
When the jury retired Becker stood
up calmly to look them over. His eyes
passed over the face of every man OF
the twelve. His glance was shrewd
appraising. thoughtful. He stood look
ing at them with folded arms. They
paid no attention to him.

MANS MOST HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION IS .
FOUND IN MINE LEE--SAv|NG SERVICE

met to a dying miner. The latter was
saved, but the rescuer was found dead.
In the accomplishment of this, as said
before the bureau of mines has had
two martyrs-Joseph Evans, of
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, at the Pancoast
Colliery fire, Throop, Pa, April 7, 1911,
and John Terrell. Ellworth. Pa. at
fire in the Cherry Valley mine, Wash
ington county. Pa, January 10. 1912.
Evans, who had been an experience
ed miner and mine foreman for years,
had been trained by the bureau OF
mines and had charge of the mine res
cue car that responded to the call for
aid He lost his life while pressing
forward in the suffocating gases to
locate entombed miners and bring
them to a place of safety.
All indications show that Evans died
from over-exertion in his heroic ef-
forts to save the lives of men, some of
whom he had known personally, hav-
ing worked as a miner in that section
of the coal fields.
Terrell was exploring burning
mine with the idea of determining
enter when he met death. He had
gone in the mine with another Federal
rescuer who had become affected by
the gases and who told Terrell he in
tended to get to the fresh air as soon
as possible. The second rescuer stag
gered fainting out Of the mine, but
Terrell failed to follow as he had prom
Used. Another bureau rescuer alarmed
at the failure of Terrell to appear went
in search of him. Later he returned
and fell unconscious. Still another
rescuer endeavored to find Terrell and
barely succeeded in reaching the sur
face before he became unconscious. A
second crew from the bureau of mines
responded and Ferrelfs body was re-
covered. From it's location, it is as
sumed that Farrell, in the darkness,
having failed to note his comrade pass
on the way out of the mine, went in
search of him. Thus Terrell gave up
his life endeavoring to save another.
At the Banner mine, Littleton, Ala,
where a serious explosion took place,
J. J. Rutledge, mining engineer of the
bureau, and Rescuer John Key, two
physicians, two mine officials and two
representatives of powder companies
were caught without helmets in body
of gas and all became unconscious.
Other rescuers from the bureau, as
sisted by number of brave volunteers
carried the unconscious men from the
mine and revived them after hours of
work with special oxygen apparatus

The rescue was work of the most
desperate sort and required the high

stuff that the rescue men Of the bu-

National News Assoeiation)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
The most hazardous occupation known
to man is that of life saver in the
service of the United States Bureau
of Mines. 1t is popularity supposed
that deep sea diving has the highest
mortality rate among all the danger
Gus callings, but it is not to be COM
pared with Rescue work. In the first
year of this service two out of the
twenty-four experienced miners en-
ployed by the bureau in this desperate
work, have given their lives while at
tempting to save others. Seven others
have fallen unconscious in the poison
Gus vapors of the mines and have been
rescued only after the most heroic eff
forts Of their comrades, and then re-
suscitated by the use of the modern
oxygen apparatus in the skillful hands
of the employees of the bureau.
Federal statisticians have cold, cal
culating method of finding the COM
parative risk of the different indus
tries and they usually figure on the
number of men killed per 1000 employ
ed in a years time. On this basis, the
mortality rate among Bureau of Mines
rescuers is eighty in 1000 men-the
highest death rate known to any oc-
cupation.
With such a fearful record before
them, it might be thought that miners
would hesitate about engaging in such
a business, but this is not the case.
Miners are as brave body of men as
T. IN, IND GtTv
those who have been trained in rescue
work by the Bureau of Mines and have
sought employment as life-savers, are
imbued with the spirit Of daring that
comes with the knowledge that they
are engaged in a great work, which
promises within a few years to mater
tally reduce the disgraceful death
rate in American mines.
That the life-savers have made a
good beginning is shown in the records
of the Bureau of Mines. In the period
of one year, forty entombed mineSs
have been rescued directly through
the efforts of the bureaus men, and
perhaps as many more by individual
miners who were trained in rescue
work by the Bureau of Mines. Best of
all, the Federal rescuers have stopped
the death roll among volunteer life
savers at disasters. In the past, it is
said that a rescuer has given up his
life for every man saved. Forty res,
cuers were killed at Hanna, Wyoming,
two years ago, trying to save fourteen
entombed men. At the Cherry mine
fire in Illinois, twelve volunteers who
went into the mine were brought up
on the cage lifeless.
Since the Bureau of Mines took up
this great work, but one volunteer res
cuer in the last eight or ten disasters
has lost his life, and this man was a
hero in Colorado, who loaned his he'll
