The change in the style of type
which called for replacement OF all
matrices on linotype machines setting
the body type of the paper, results in
broader and '.fatter" faced letters and
utilizes more of what might be called
waste space in the line, although the
number of letters and spaces in each
line remains the same.
The new type is know1f-to printers
as Z point Ionic No. 5 IN an s point
slug.
The part of the story written above
is in the new style type which will
be used in The Dispatch in the fu-
ture. The remainder of the story is
in the old style type.
1t is easy to observe that the num-
Der of letters to each line is the same,
yet the legibility of the new type is
so much greater that one might be-
lieve that a greater space is required
for each letter or unit.
This new departure is one of the
latest developments in newspaper
Typography and wherever employed
has met with the approval of those
whose reading is extensive and of
eyesight experts. The type meets the
demand for larger print without any
reduction in the amount of news mat

Mr.. Wallace was numbering ques-
tiOnS at him in an attempt to rid
ole the dramatic recital of the mur-
der Gray gave Wednesday afternoon.
Gray had told of travelling from
Syracuse to New York to be led by
the hand of Mrs. Snyder, both OF
them armed with lethal instruments,
10 the bedside OF sleeping Albert
Snyder; that he had Joined a plot
to kill a man again whom he had
no enmity whatsoever. He had DEM
or1strated, with the fatal sash weight
upraised and gripped with both
hands, how he had struck the first
blow.
And then Dana Wallace wanted
to know now Gray expected "the
judge and jury" to believe that a

over distance of 800 miles and pe
the lodestone OF death. No motive
for Grays part in the murder had
been definitely enunciated States

when Gray, or counsel, read from

pictured himself a craven, drink

So Mr.. Wallace wanted to know
how it came about that Gray. with a

and murder plot in his head, had
sneaked at midnight into the Snyder
home,
"It was her magnetism" Gray re-
piled.
