PORTLAND JUDGE
DEMONSTRATES USE
OF EXPLOSIVES TO
FEARFUL AUDIENCE

Portland. Me-, Oct. IAN air of tense
excitement filled the municipal court
during the greater part Of this morn
ing's session, when James Black and
Harry Harris, the former having an alias
Of Boston Shorty and the latter other
wise known as Angus Henderson, were
being tried on the charge of being idle
and disorderly persons. The excitement
was occasioned principally by the pres
ence on the recorders desk of varied
assortment of nitro-glycerine, dynamite
caps, revolver and some ordinary 3S-
celibre cartridges. but was heightened
considerably when Judges Bates, to sat-
isfy his curiosity as to the fuses. lighted
one and watched it burn itself out, the
entire display being within few feet
of half-pint bottle. two-thirds full OF
nitro-glycerine. Spectators and officers
alike manifested a decided uneasness,
and neither Harris nor Black removed
their eyes from the judge while he was
demonstrating the use of the fuse.
Later. while Attorney Wilbur c. WHEEL
den. who represented the two respon-
dents, was arguing the case, reference
was made to the contents Of the bottle
and again Judge Bates, with an apparent
desire to satisfy himself as to it's nature,
removed the stopper from the bottle for
the purpose of examination.
There was also a signal for more
uneasiness, and everyone in the court
room breathed an audible sigh Of re-
lief when Black and Harris received
their sentences for 80 days in Jail each,
and both prisoners and exhibit were
removed to the police station.
Black and Harris were arraigned
yesterday morning before Judge Bates
on continued case in which assault
on an officer was alleged, and at the
close OF court hearing was continued
until this morning. At this mornings
session however. both men were re-
arraigned on the charge of being idle
and disorderly.

not guilty and asked for a hearing
