 Door Castings and Nail Holes.
 While 1Ir. Fullerton was on the stand, and when the states attoT1fey
 mad the door ja.mbs brought into the { court room, Attorney Geary asked to have the jury excused while he made statement.
 When the jury had gone out. the at- torney objected to the admission of the door casings as exhibits on the grounds ! that they were not in the condition they were before the fire, as they had been changed greatly in appearance slEce then by paint and in other ways In answer States Attorney Hull argued that these doo1, 1casings which he claimed had no nail holes in them was deadly evidence to dispose Of the
 story of Benjamin Pumerantz and prove it false as well as prove false the story of William Luchansky. Ma
 Jor Huh said that the door jambs had been taken off on Thursday from an- other doorway where they had been placed and he had the man in court who took them off
 Attorney Geary further argued thai there were other places where it had been testified that shelves had beer nailed, such IS tine door, the table and the crossp4ece to tho door frame, which
 also ought to be produced. 1O5C 'TA GCAEC til50 lAtSiL lnS OtJCl castings were admissible to contradict the evidence of Benjamin Pumerantz After Attorney Geary had walked around and taken 6 look at the door castings he withdrew his objections and the jury was recalled.
 MT. Fullerton resumed testifyfn<- and
 said these were the door castings which had been taken from the Pumerantz cellar doorway to be placed in another position and that they were in the same condition except as to a coat ot paint. The paint did not obIiterate any 1 previous nailholes and there were nc nailholes to show that any shelving had been attached
 The witness pointed out, on the right hand easing, the seven nailholes made when the casing was placed in it's first position. He also showed other OlC nailholes and the new nails still stick ing in the casing which were used when the casing was last put up There was not a nailhole shown on the ! finished side. the witness said. that could have been made from nails used to fasten on shelving. The witness pointed out the same particulars on the left hand door casing. This door cas- ing, he said, also had no holes in il that could have been made by nails
 used to put up shelving against tht
 easing.
 ?robed Small Nail Holes. On cross examination, Attorney Geary discovered five small holes neal the top of the right hand door easing on the painted side which were about an inch deep, which the witness saiC were probably made by small brads which he thought would not be strone enough to hold up q shelf On closer examination, the witness decided thai one might be a worm hole. Attorney Geary and Attorney Hui each pTobed the small holes and elicit cd the testimony from the witness tha- all but one went in straight. MT. Full lerton testified that it would be i'm possible to drive a nail into these holes in putting up a shelf placed edgewise.
 State Policemen Ranked by Coco Looks.
 Iii mention by the witness of wllc it was who directed him to take of
 the door castings, Attorney Geary in- terjected a little humor into the occa- sion by trying to locate which of the two state policemen it was
 He inquired of MT. Fullerton if il was the better looking of the two, tC which the witness responded: No; il was the taller, slim one. I think the other ones the best looking, but they 're both pretty good looking men" \ litter of laughter ran around ths court as State Policeman Jackson was thus ranked above State Policeman Downing as to good looks. for it was A1r. Downing who directed MT. Staple ton about taking off the door castings State Policeman Downing was called ! to the stand for q question or two be- fore court adjourned at k.30 to Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
