Julia Murdock Explains How Illusions
Of Moving Picture Shows Are Produced

/ this picture. but just here the picture
Is stopped, dummies are substituted for
the real live people, the lions are turn
ed loose among these inanimate objects,
and the taking Of the picture proceeds,
apparently, without interruption. The
lions used for the scene belong to a
party Of lion tanners, some Of whom
were in the group Of people who appear
In the picture.
At the critical moment. some Of the
tanners drove the lions forward. while
other tanners stood in the group with
revolvers with which to frighten the
beasts. When the animals came within
a few feet of the victims the revolvers
were fired. the lions bolted. the camera
was stopped and qiuck change from
human beings to dummies was made.
The fire spectacle in this stupendous
production Is as artfully managed as
the arena scenes. With flames and
smoke in the foreground and the panic
stricken Romans running hither and
thither. the effect of a horrible con-
Migration is presented to perfection
As matter of fact. with scenery con-
structed especially for the occasion. and
devices, a perfect imitation of a terrible
fire is given. Dense clouds of smoke
may be made by different materials.
at very little cost. and a minimum of
danger.
Besides the arrangement Of scenery
and de substitution Of dummies, cut
ting films and piecing them together is
one OF the chief artifices to which mo-
tion picture experts resort. In many of
the motion picture theaters now free
hand sketches by popular cartoonists
are being shown on the screen. The
hand of the artist seemingly sketches
the picture of some comical invention
of his brain with incredible swiftness
1t only takes few seconds for a COM
plete drawing TO appear upon the huge
white sheet of paper and the salient
point of the jokes are drawn at the
very last minute. Like rapid-fire mono
logue the very swiftness of the creation
Is humorous.

BOOTHS LEG NOT BROKEN
Witness to Lincoln Shooting
Gives New Version of Tragedy.
ny Telegraph TO The tribune

Detroit. May 31.-Dr. w. A. Dumas
OF Detroit. who witnessed the assassi-
nation Of President Lincoln from a box
near that of the President. to-day told
a version of the tragedy which differs
widely from the accepted story
DR.. Dumas says when Booth jumped
from the box TO the stage he hurried
to the wings of the theatre with an
agility that entirely disproves the
statement that he broke leg. be
fore he ran away Booth shouted to the
audience, Revenge for the South!' not
"Victory for the SOUTH" Dr. Dumas
also contradicts the story that Gordon
of soldiers was thrown about that sec
ton OF the city.
The story OF the assassination COM
monty accepted is that OF Harry
Hawks. an actor. DR.. Dumas says
that Hawks was not in a position TO
see what happened. as he had just
gone into the wings on the same sidc
Of the stage.

LIBEL SUIT WON BY
COL. ROOSEVELT
PUBLISHER EXCEEDED
RIGHTS, SAYS COURT

Judge Flannigan. in charging the
jury, said, in part:
Michigan has not yet granted TO
any one. whether newspaper man or
not, the privilege of writing or
speaking Of any candidate for any
elective office words which are both
defamatory and untrue.
when a newspaper attacks the
character Of a candidate for public
office the publisher must at his peril
be careful to ascertain tho truth OF
the facts charged, as in any other
case of libel.
Unwilling TO rest on the pre-
sumption Of law that the charge was
false and call upon the defendant to
prove it's truth or answer in dam
aues. as was the plaintiffs right.
the plaintiff proceeded before this
court to show that the charge was
falls. IN fact.
And by his own and the testi-
rony Of a long list Of witnesses Of
hiah character and unirpeachable
integrity, he has satisfied the de-
fendant, the jury also, fully
believe-certainly he has convinced
the court--not only that he never
was drunk. but that he is now and
always has been a temperate and
abstenious man."

EACH MUST PAY THE COSTS
As III Motive, Ex-President Says He
Wished Once for All to Lay
Slanders Beyond the
Possibility of

Marquette, Mich. May 31y-Theodore
Roosevelt won his libel suit to-day
against George A. Newett. who charged
the colonel with drunkenness. The
colonel having waived damages after
the defendant had uttered a retraction,
the Jury awarded the nominal damages
of six cents provided in such cases by
The laws Of Michigan. Each party TO
rho suit will have to pay his own eX-
penses.
Judge Flannigan instructed the jury
70 bring in a verdict for the plaintiff,
which the jurors did without leaving
their seats. The colonel left Marquette
Tor Chicago and the East at $50 o'clock
this evening. less than two hours after
the termination Of the case.
The climax Of the case came like the
last act OF stage thriller. When the
publisher who had said Colonel Roose-
Welt gets drunk, and not infrequently,
as all his intimates know had re-
cited that he had depositions from
forty reliable witnesses" to show that
the charge was true, but that never
theless, he believed after listening TO
the plaintiffs witnesses that ne had
done Colonel Roosevelt an injustice.
and Herewith retracted his charge Of
intoxication, the ex-President arose
and addressed the court as follows:
Your honor. in view of the state
ment Of the defendant, l ask the court
