The case Of J. W. Bradley, white
charged with murder came TO a con-
clusion last night after the jury had
been out for about six hours and had
failed 70 reach a verdict and Judge
Gary ordered mistrial.
This case was commenced the day
before. Messrs. Marion w. Seabrook
and A. 6. Merrimon were appointed
by the court to defend Bradley and
made hard fight of the case. So
licitor Wood also made n good pre-
sentiment Of the case for the state.
Bradley, as previously stated in the
Item. was accused Of sending an un-
known preacher to Kill Frank Pye an
Indian, and was charged with being
an accessory to the killing. The
preacher escaped and has not been
captured.
The case Of Mary Alice Robinson,
colored. charged with murder was the
next case called and will probably
be completed today. The woman is
accused OF shooting her husband and
killing him, when he objected to an
other negro coming to see her. The
defense endeavored to show that her
husband was drunk and came home to
try to Kill her and she shot him az
ter she had tried several times to get
away from him. The prosecution on
the other hand claimed that she kill
ID her husband in order to get rid of
him so that she could 1--we with the
ether man.
The case went to the jury shortly
after o'clock and verdict of not
guilty was returned after the jury
had been out short time.
The mistrial in the Bradley case is
the second mis,rial ordered in muir
der case during the week, the Nose
Deas case having also resulted in .
mistrial. The case against William
Tunnge, assault and battery with
intent to Kill, was another case which
resulted in a mistrial this week.

HARD LINES FOR NOVELIST
story Of How Hawthorne Was DIscred-
Itod by Ignorant Lawyer a.
Witness.

J. Van Vetchen Olcott, treasurer OF
the American Peace and Arbitration
league, said to New York reporter:
The advocates of war think to ST.
lence us with the claim that human
nature is too evil, too savage, to
rise above rapine and wholesale MUIR
der Well, they are as silly in that
as the lawyer who cross-examined
Hawthorne.
Hawthorne was called up as wit
ness in criminal case in Salem, and
the cross-examining lawyer for the
defense said to hip:
You are novelist, l believer
"'Yes, sir
'What-was your last Novel?'
1.-THE Marble Faun."'
"'"The Marble Pawn" eh? And Is
there word of truth in The Marble
Pawn my MANI
It-but It, stammered Hawthorne
1T is work of fiction
Never mind that Numbered the
lawyer. Never mind that. Answer my
question, yes or no! Is there word
of truth in this Marble Pawn" or
whatever you call it,?
'Er-no. said Hawthorne.
Very good said the lawyer You
admit there's not a word of truth in
the whole long 400-page book He
glanced triumphantly at the jury.
That will do, sir. You may step down.
We have no further use for you in
this court, sir. "

STUDY OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY
Wonderful instrument Designed by
Professor Bose Reveals Facts
Of Much Interest.

The work of Prof. ]. G. Bose has
attracted much attention. BY means
of ingenious and extremely sensitive
apparatus he makes the plants tell
their own story-write 1t out, so to
speak, in black and white. His res
onant recorder" will make record OF
the throbbng of the leaflets of the
telegraph plant. These pulsations are
so weak and microscopic that a
weight as slight as the four-hundredth
of gram will stop them. The instru
ment works by sort Of induction
through the tuning of its parts to vi
brate in unison. Its record consists
OF series OF dots or little punches
thus obviating the resistance due to
friction that n continuous line record
would involve. Its delicacy is sc
great that time interval as small
as the thousandth part of a single
heart beat is recorded.
This sensitiveness is quite essen.
tial in studying plant physiology. The
plant biophytum Is eight times as sen
sitive to an electric current as a
human being. mimosa ten times more
sensitive. Another of Professor Bosses
wonderful instruments he called the
magnification crescograph. This mag
nifies the growth of vegetable tissue
