"Deeds are daily committed in

possible In this age.”

PARIS, Aug. 21.—Ernest Arch

not likely ever to exceed 126 miles

Archdeacon stales that with 27

moon In 49 hours, provided all the
radium's energy could be released
within that time.
With 400 kilogrammes of radium
aboard, a visit could be made to

convinced the inhabitants of all
the planets will, make each others'

and that Interplanetary congresses
will be held.

absurd his discoveries are. I am not
going to just hit the high places like
my friend Hooper did. I am going
fully into it. My friend Hooper is a
bully fellow. H e is such a good fel
low that really I am almost pursuad-
ed he hasn’t had his heart in this case
at all.
Blood Stains Were
Only Analine Drops.
"Four pieces of floor were chipped
up. Each piece had a spot on K
which they thought to he blood. These
chips were taken from the floor cov
ered with dirt and grease one-quarter
of an inch thick. This floor has never
hen scoured, and wf know a few men
who had been hurt back there and
who nad been carried by this spot.
There is a difference of opinion as to
how much they bled, but we know
that they did bleed, that they bled
considerably. And this place was in
front of the ladies’ toilet.
"And we know from the chemists
who have been upon the stand that if
a drop of blood had fallen there four
years ago the chemist could tlnd cor
puscles now. They took up four
chips. I want to show you these
(‘hips, and I also want to read you
Dr. Claud Smith’s testimony on the
stand here. Here are the chips with
the blood spots on them—all blood.
Oh! The chemist can And the cor
puscles! Unless they are scoured up
they will be there ten years. Now-
listen to Dr. Claude Smith’s evidence.
He says here that he found three or
four or five corpuscles in the field. My
recollection is that one drop of blood
contains not less than 80,000 corpus
cles.
"As to the amount of blood, you
can form your conception. And here
is what he says about the chips: ‘The
chips I handled had blood and dirt,
grease and other things on them.’ He
says he found corpuscles on one of
the chips, but he could not tell what
chip it was. He said he raked them
all together. He could not even say
whether the corpuscles he found were
human or not. He could not even
nick out the one chip that had the
blood on it. He said that he tested
for blood only: that he made his
test in the ordinary way. and he
found the stain on every chip. And
that stain was paint, analine which
we have insisted was there. And as
to the amount of blood, he could not
say whether it was half a drop or
less.
No Blood Spots
Where Hair Was Found.
"I say that one-half a drop of bio »d
might have been there several years.
And now, If I make myself clear,
what they say was blood was a stain,
the same thing on every chip, and not
blood at all. It Just happened there
were one or two corpuscles on one
chip when one drtfp of blood would
have made 80,000 corpuscles. And
they would have remained intact sev
eral years.
"Now that hair Christopher Colum
bus found on the lathing machine,
and by the by it has i.ever been in
troduced and 1 would like to know
where it is. It has never been Iden
tified for the very simple reason that
it Is not in existen Every doctor
has told you that she must have ble I
where the hair was found or wher*
the wound was made, and there was
no blood found.”
Attorney Rosser here InterrupteJ
Arnold to read from Detective Black s
testimony in which he said that De
tective Starnes and himself made a
thorough examination of the metal
room and dressing room the Sunday
morning after the crime and found
neither hair nor blood.
•Now here where Barrett found
strands of hair," Arnold continued, I
want to sav that it would be noth
ing remarkable to fln^ strands of
hair on any machine in the factory
at which women v orked.
Even Frank’s Honesty
Worked Against Him.
"My friend Dorsey says they wash
ed up blood In several places. Now
why wasn’t It all washed up, instead
of putting this haskeline around that
one place?
"The whole truth is that the whole
case rests on this fact: that Frank
was honest enough to tell them that
first Sunday morning that he did see
Mary Phagan; that she did come
there for her money, the time she
came there and the time she left..
Now, if he had been trying to hide
anything he would certainly have had
sense enough—my friend Hooper
says he is more than the ordinary In
intelligence—to have denied seeing
the girl at all, to have known abso
lutely nothing about her and to have
had her pay envelope in the cash
drawer where It would have been if
he had not honestly paid her off when
she went to his office unharmed.
"When Little Mary Phagan came
Harry Denham and Arthur White
were upstairs. Lemmie Quinn and
Monteen Stover and all the others
were coming in. People were coming
and going all morning/ The doors of
the offices were open; the doors of
the metal room were open. There
were glass doors in the metal room
so anyone could look in and see
everything that was going on.
"Do you mean to tell me that a
man is going to plot murder with
conditions like that? There were
people coming in before and after the
crime—a dozen people were dropping
in. There Frank was overwhelmed
with work, his stenographer gone,
and yet they tell me he had planned
to lose half or almost all the entile
morning with a plot like that. All
reason would be against his having
relations with the girls in the factory.
Brands Dalton As
A Common Liar.
"I have no doubt that some of the
girls In the factory were bad, but I
don’t believe they were all bad. I
believe most of the girls who work
In that place are good. Now the
prosecution has jumped on poor Daisy
Hopkins and has torn her character
to shreds. I have no doubt that Daisy
Hopkins is a 'bad woman. She has
admitted it. I am sorry for her, but
some of the men who testified in this
case were no better. Think of the
motorman who got on the stand hero
and told about going to that place
with women and Dalton telling about
going there with Dansy Hopkins and
sneaking down through a scuttle hole
Into the basement.
"They told us that Dalton, the man
with a criminal record, had re-formed.
He lied when he said he had reform
ed and If he ever went into the pen
cil factory he slipped in. Look at this
man, gentlemen (pointing to Frank).
Why should such hr he associate with
Dalton. Would you think he would
be a boon companion of a man like
that. No man says he was but Dal
ton and Conley. Dalton and Conley
brought Daisy Hopkins into this case,
too. She was not our witness excev>t
in this way. Fallen women some
times tell the truth. It is known that
they have peculiar characteristics and
we knew that if they had lied when
they said they went to this place with
her she would say so.
"Now. Daisy Hopkins says it is a
lie and when all of these neoole say
Frank was never th^re with women
and when the clerks, the office bovs
and his assistant. Schiff, say that
these men lied, then Dalton has lied.
Cat Slayer Breaks
Circumstance Chain
MONTCLAIR, N. J., Aug. 21.—Mrs.
L. H. Forster’s pet cat was murdered,
seemingly by a dog, whereupon Mrs.
Forester rushed into police head
quarters here and asked that Snap,
a dog owned by a neighbor, be
charged with the murder and duly
executed.
Asked if she knew to a certainty ,
that Snap was the culprit, she an- ;
swered in the negative, but declared
she felt sure Snap killed her cat, "be
cause he was sniffing in my yard
afterward.” The police contended
that Snap had a right to sniff and re
fused to have him haled into court.
