After Dinner Trick S
M sOo-Picking In the Matches

A dozen matches are laid side by
side. close together, on the table. The
performer sets the cover of the match
box on them, as shown in the figure,
and asks some one to pick up the
matches without touching them, and
without removing the box from above
them This request sounds impossible,
and when the spectators say so the
performer shows that the feat can be
accomplished quite easily.
Here is the method: Place the lips
against the open end of the match box
and breathe in. Hold the match box
between the thumb and forehnger and
lift it at the same time. The sue
ton created BY drawing in the breath
will cause the matches TO adhere to
the box, and they can be lifted clear
of the table, dropping back when the
performer lets out his breath.

Prosecution Rests
In Case Against
Justice S. b. Strong
jerks Committee Declines
to Report at Once and
Adjourns; Jurist May
Not Even Offer Defense

The prosecution in the case of Su-
preme Court Justice Selah B. Strong,
of Nassau County, whose impeachment
was sought after the jurist began
criminal proceedings against promi-
nent politicians and public highway
contractors in the county, rested yes
terday.
Former Lieutenant Governor Edward
Schoeneck and former State Senator
Edgar Truman Bracket moved that
the jerks Legislative committee, which
was appointed to take testimony in the
case, take immediate action and report
that there was no ground for further
proceedings, and also that the evidence
disclosed nothing that would justify
either the removal or impeachment of
Justice Strong.
THE evidence here" Mr.. Bracket
said, "shows neither corruption nor
wrong-doing by Justice Strong; on the
contrary, only an earnest wish to per-
form his duty in a high minded way.
1t shows, on the other hand. an attempt
on the part of forbidden and abhor-
tcht 4oiCeS 10 lHtlInldaLe anG TO drive
him away from the performance of
manifest duty, an attempt which he
properly resented and which should
receive, no support from any depart
ment of government, nor from any be-
lever in the orderly enforcement of
the law"
Assent blyman Edmund B. jerks,
chairman of the committee, said that
under the resolution creating the COM
mittee he and his associates had no
choice but to deny such motion, as
it could not make public its findings
until the Legislature convened
Mr.. Schoeneck, who presided over the
deliberations Of the State Senate for
four years, argued that it would not be
discourtesy to the Assembly to re-
port it's decision now, and added that
If defense were to be put In it would
require a preparation of from four to
six weeks and the calling of about 100
witnesses.
Chairman jerks replied that 1t was
for Justice Strong and his counsel to
decide if the case was so f1imsy that
there was no need of interposing a de-
fense. In order to give the accused
jurist and his counsel time to decide if
they wished to offer evidence, the COM
mirtee adjourned to July "a.

The state had attached much impor-
tance to this evidence, as they ex-
pected to prove that Kluxen washed

Bereaved Mother Tells OF Parting
Mrs. Lawrence, mother Of the dead
girl, took the stand and told of the
last time she saw her little girl. alive
how she had just fed the chickens
and then departed to take home Made
line Sandt, four-year-old child she
sometimes looked after. She did not
have any handkerchiefs with her. Mrs,
Lawrence said. She could not identify
as hers the handkerchiefs found on the
body of Janette.
More than ten minutes after the girl
left for the last time she heard o
gurgling cry or laugh, she could not
be sure which, Mrs. Lawrence said.
At the time she did not think it sound
ed like Janette. 1t appeared to come
from the direction of Fairview Avenue,
Young Francis Kluxen frequently
played in the woods near his home and
she often saw him there, the mother
added.
Mrs. Mary Friedinger, neighbor of
the Lawrence family, testified to see
ing Janette and Madeline Sandt on the
roadway and not far away were Fran
els kluxen and Alma Nelson. another
little girl. Her husband, Gottlief Fried
niger. strengthened this testimony by
swearing that about o'clock on the
day of the murder yonng Kluxen was
digging with a knife at the root of a
tree near his home.
Il called to him and asked If he was
looking for money" Mr.. Friedinger
testified, "but he answered NO short
ly and went on with his digging"
The knife, he said, was similar to
the one exhibited in court
Mrs. Mary Early testified to seeing
the boy standing in front Of the Law
renee house, leaning against their
fence on that same afternoon. Frank
Denman, another neighbor, saw him at
twenty minutes to s o'clock on the
Ridg,edale Road, near the Kluxen
woods, with knife hanging from his
belt. Reginald Lum said that at 4:3o
o'clock he saw the youth, dressed in
khaki shirt and breeches, in the fam
lily winery. and that he had knife
with him that looked like Boy Scout

swore that he saw Kluxen go into the
woods around $3.50 p. m. The girl Is
supposed to have been killed some
time between this time and 6 o'clock.
Found Clothes. in Water
Dr.. Albert E. Edel, of Newark, one
Of the first witnesses called, told of
going to the Kluxen home on October
Z, the day after the murder, and find
ing khaki shirt and pants, which he
identified in court, in a pail Of dirty
water. Blood stains could have been
removed from them in a period of
from two to four hours, he said.
Another witness, Harvey Brown, who
said he worked for the Kluxens, testi-
fed to seeing young Francis in the
winery on the day of the murder. His
clothes had grape stains from leaning
