 man for the American Thread com pany, who took a picture of the ex- plosion testified to what he knew of the affair. Just before the blast Al ford and Worth, who were injured, stood near the witness, but the wit ness stopped down to take the picture before the signal was given and did not know what the other two men did. After the explosion Worth fell flat on his face and the witness picked him up and carried him to a store where he received treatment. Later the witness went to the store of Mayer Dunn where he saw Afford coming. out with the assistance of some of his friends The witness accompanied the injured man to the hospital where he was put on stretcher.

 Dr.. O'NeiPs Evidence.
 Dr. Owen O'NeiI told of the injured men coming to the hospital, among them was Weber, Worth, Carey, De- Jude and Lavoie. Worth is still at the hospital suffering from the com pound fracture of the leg which he received at that time. When Afford was brought into the hospital the wit ness was working on Weber. but when he saw the former man he stopped his work and immediately attended Afford who was in the worst condition. Al ford was unconscious at the time he was brought into the hospital and for some time afterwards but at 10 o. clock that night he was conscious and the doctor told him his sister was coming on from Worcester to see him. Upon examining Afford the witness stated that there was a bruised spot just below the chest, showing that he had been struck by some square ob- ject presumably a brick. The condi- tion of the patient showed that he was suffering from an internal hemor- rhage which was given as the cause of his death.
 Court was adjourned shortly after , o'clock until this morning when more witnesses will be heard. Indiea- tions point to a long trial, probably lasting most of next week.

tions for canning by the one period cold

meats, camp rations and mushrooms.
When canning is not feasible or cans
and jars are too expensive, drying offers
a means of saving large quantities of
surplus products which go to waste each
year. Drying also affords a way of con-
serving portions of food too small for
canning. Drying may be done in the
sun, over the kitchen stove, or before an

just how to do this, using one of the
