Pistol Distinctly.

At The time that Grace was snot
in his bed room on the morning of
March Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey were in
bed in their rooms on the second floor
of the Goldsmith apartment house,
across the street.
Il had gone to BED at the usual hour
on the night of March A." said the So
Iicitor but I tossed restlessly all night
and l was still lying in bed wide awake
just as the sky began to tighten and
the first gray streaks of daybreak came
through the half-opened window of our
apartment. My wife was sleeping
soundly
Suddenly l heard the crack of pis-
toll shot and from where | lay l could
tell that it came from the direction of
the Grace house across the street.
When Kiser had lived there neighbors
had told of his firing shots often to
scare away cats or dogs at night. and
so | did not arise from my bed at the
clear sound Of the pistol but lay still
waiting and listening for more shots,
None came Everything was instantly
quiet again and | lay on my bed sleep
Iessly for half an hour more. when |
heard the milk man come to the house
and place the bottles in the doorway.
That is how l fix the time so definitely.

that morning when l heard the pistol
report. 1t was somewhere between half
past and 6 o'clock.

case and gave into my possession the
two 'alibi letters they had found in the
Grace house and seized. Then it dawncd
suddenly upon me that the report | had

shot Of the pistol that had wounded
Grace. | knew in my own heart that
Grace had not been shot after 10
o'clock, as the defense even was then

MY evidence my testimony as to the
hearing Of that shot and the time 1

be vital--would go far toward disproy-

the whole contention of the defense
and the woman's own statement that
her husband had not been shot until
after II o'clock But that very fact of
being prosecutor placed me in a re-
markable position. Besides, l could not
absolutely swear that it was on the
morning Of March that the shot l

Apple Trees for Old Age.
Fasteners are prone to view with
surprise the iarge-sized fruit which
comes from western states. and even
to wonder why similar orchard prod
ucts cannot be raised in New Eng
land. Their wonderment should cease.
Our farms can produce luscious fruit
in abundance with proper effort. says
the Boston Globe. A speaker at the
New England fruit exhibition in Hor-
ticultural hall has said that there is
no better insurance against old age
than a good orchard. After a certain
number Of years ten acres of an ap-
pie orchard will be a steady source Of
income. The same authority believes
that the shortsightedness OF New Eng.
land farmers is almost criminal for al
lowing this source of wealth to go I'M
developed. We have the soil, market
and climate. and should take advan-
tage of these great assets.
