wiIsnskx Boy on Che Stand.

Herman Wilensky, the 14-year- old 1 son of the owner of the barn, was placed on the stand by the states att I torney. Young Wilensky said he was 1 at work in the shed when he heard 1 the Ginsberg boy from the road hol- | Ter "Fire!" WilensIy said he ran over 1 past the barn to the barway Int othe barnyard and saw the Ginseerg boy climbing through the fence from the road. Together they ran to the base i ment part of the barn and found hay on fire close to the door. The fire | was spreading towards a larger pile | of hay. The boys got two or three pails of water. the witness said, and l threw 1t on the blazing hay and also spread the hay around with pltcn- fork so that they put 1t out.
 He twice saw a man near the barn at the time of the fire and he said it was the accused. MT. Parker. The first time the witness saw the man was when he was running from the shed at the first alarm of fire. He saw the man near the apple tree south east of the barn. After the fire was , out the witness said he saw MT Park CT in the brush back of this spot and ! he was stopping down and looking ] towards the barn
 The boy witness pointed out on the map the locations where these events he described occurred, and told of finding a paper near a stake in field on a day later than the fire. States Attornev Hull produced again
 the carbon duplicate shipping receipt which had been laid in as an exhibit
 and the boy identified it as the piece
 of paper which he had found near the
 stake. He had heard voices in the
 neighborhood just before. He recog-
 nized MT. Parker's voice.
 Arguments Over Exhibit.
 There was a short recess and Judge
 Greene returned to the bench. At
 tornev Geary for the defense raised
 ping receipts, which he claimed he
 had not supposed had been put in as
 exhibits. He would have raised ob-
 jection then if he had noticed it. and
 he wanted a chaiCe now to argue against the admissi bility of the ship ping receipts
 States Attorney Hull had the rec ords read to show that the papers had been duly admitted as exhibits and Judge Greene remarked that with three attorneys for the defense lis tening they had had opportunity to object then and he thought he could not exclude the receipts as exhibits now unless the state wanted to waive right States Attorney Hull claimed that the exhibits had been regularly admitted, but he did not wish to take any unfair advantage and he would waive to allow Attorney Geary to ar que against admitting these exhibits.
 In his argument Attorney Geary raised the point that there was nOth- ing to show that these papers were ever in the possession of the defend ant, MT. Parker. and that they might have been in the possession of any one.
 The states attorney argued against this view but Judge Greene ruled that he would exclude these exhibits until the state could show that it was practice of the trolley company to place these receipts in the hands of the consignee.
 Cross Examination of WiIensky Boy.
 The jury was recalled and Attorney Geary took up the cross examination of the Wilensky boy. He uestioned the boy closely upon when he told Sam Ginsberg that he knew it was MT. Parker who was running away from the barn and that it was Mr Parker's voice he had heard. The boy said he didn't tell Sam Ginsberg till this day of the trial because he was afraid Sam would tell everybody. The witness said he was also afraid that Mir. Parker would get false witnesses and blame everything upon them Mir. Parker had a brown cap on when he saw him near the apple tree.
 On redirect examination the Wien sky boy said that he heard more than one voice in the brush One said in Yiddish Keep stiu," and the other said. What do you say?'
 Court adjourned at 4.30 till 10 o'clock this morning
