Ward denied that either Mitchell or McMann had ever told him that Mitchell had a fight with a bully in a Toronto glass factory before com- ing here and that McMann had taken Mitchell's part and that Mitchell had said he would do anything in the world to help McMann. Ward denied that he had last Sunday night told Attorney Noonan, who represents the defend- ant, that either Mitchell or McMann had told him this although he admit- ted having a conversation with At- torney Noonan Sunday night. Henry Ackerman, a: glass blower, said his attention was first attracted 'by seeing McMann and an Italian run- ning around a \layer\ near where he was working. McMann ran past him with the Italian, whom he regonized as Nicholas Stoifa; pursuing, He saw that Stolfa had a knife in his hand. McMann had run to a window nearby and jumped through it. Stolfa had then made off and McMan nalmost im- mediately returned through the wing dow. Witness had run to McMann and, he said that he was stabbed. Wt- ness would not believe it un- til shown the wound. He had then made McMann sit down on a pile of trays to walt until a doctor came. John Ritzenthaler, night doorman at police headquarters, was next called and said he was on duty at the station the night of the stabbing. He sald he was not handed any knife that night by Frazier or anyone eise. He could not identify the clasp knife shown him by Mr. Ackerson. Arthur Perkins, an employe at the factory, swore he saw McMann being chased around some layers by Nicholas Stolfa and that the latter had an open knife in his hand. Stolfa was, he said, was about two and a half feet behind McMann. Willliam Martin had, said witness, pursued the flying pair and caught Stolfa finally and pulled him back, while McMann escaped. Stolfa had, said witness, blood on his face. Henry Ackerman was recalled and swore that when McMann and Stolfa ran past him, Stolfa pursuing, McMann had nothing in his hands. Rigid cross- examination failed to make Ackerman change this statement. : Thomas Simpson was the last and most interesting witness of the after- noon. He was employed at the factory He swore he did not gee the fight but first saw Martin holding Nicholas Stoifa while McMann escaped. He saw that Stolfa had an open knife in his hand. Later he saw the defendant, he said, chasing Mitchell with a knife. As Mitchell passed Machine No. 8, swore Simpson, Pasquale Stolfa struck at Mitchell with an iron carrying fork. When a little later Nicholas Stolfa ran past the witness to escape into the yard Simpson, as he testified, threw a heavy iron \pig\ at the escaping Ital- tan and it missed the defendant by about five or six Inches. Simpson had then, he swore, followed the defendant into the yard and securing the iron handle to a truck, the handle being about three feet long, he had attacked Stolfa with it and struck at him but failed to hit him. * Under cross-examination Simpson sald he had seen blood running down the left side of Stolfa's face. He ad- mitted that Stolfa had never done auy- thing to witness and witness had in 'fact never had a word with the defend- ant. He admitted that he had wanted to lay out Stolfa and was sorry he had not. He adimtted that a crowd of a score or more employes had followed Stolfa from the factory and gathered about him in the yard, some of the men holding \pigs\ of iron in their hands. He denled knowledge of any pre-con- ceived plan of himself and others to get rid of the Italians or to whip them. Simpson admitted that Martin, the foreman, discharged him from the fac- tory's employ the night of the fatal affray, and that Mitchell was also dis- charged. . 'This Morning's Session. 'The case was resumed at 9:80 o'clock & this morning when Sheriff John Rear- §|don was called to the stand by Assist- @jant District Attorney Ackerson. He {stated that on the morning following the stabbing he took the prisoner from the jail to the 'Walnut hospital, where & he was positively identified by McMann f as the same person who stabbed him Jl on the preceding night. Officer Hugh Smith, who accompa- I| nied Sheriff Reardon to the hospital, told the same story. ' ® Charles Newton, an employe at the glass works, was the next called. He <+ f told of seging a portion of the fight, but could give no testimony of importance. Joseph Mitchell, who is alleged to be I| the real cause of the fight, was then called and testified on direct examina- tlon that he and McMann were working on Machine No. 8, as was also the de- fendant on the night of the trouble. From a \buck which is a small stand used to lay bottles on after they are taken from the \moulds if was the o fluty of the defendant to carry them to [| the oven, which is about 20 feet from the machine in which they are made. According to Mitchell's statement. Stoifa was new at the business, this being his second night, and he broke many of the bottles in carrying them to the oven. It was the custom of tn. glass blowers, according to the wit- nesses, whenever a carrier dropped and broke a bottle to \holler\ and swear at him, which was done to make him more careful, for every time a carrier broke [|a bottle it was a loss to the blower who was paid so much a plece. McMann, - according to - Mitchell, swore\ at Stolfa for breaking the bot- [. meUsINESS NOTICES, an~rn ~ W. L. Martyr, 642 Walnut street. \_ 10-27-d2t DON'T.

'When cross-examined by Mr. Noo— nan all Mitchell would say was \I don’ remember. 'When asked his reason for leaving Toronto to come, to Lockport. He stated that he left Toronto, be- cause he could not take it with him. __ The prosecution rested its case. Mr. Lorenzo, assistant counsel for the de- fense, thereup made a motion to have the knife excluded from the evideuce as it had not ibeen positively identified as the one with which McMann was stabbed. Mr. Ackerson then asked the court for permission to recall Mr. Kats- ki, who found the knife. 'The request was granted and Mr. Katski took the stand. \How do you identify this kmfe as- the same you found on the night of the murder?\ asked Mr. Ackerson, \I can tell it by the shiney end at the handle,\; answered the witness:> \Will you positively swear that this knife was'the same that you found?\ -lon .the ground that the people's attor-. ney was 'trying to impeach his own witness. The objection was overruled and Mr. Katski answered that he would swear the knife was the same. ~ Mr. Lorenzo then renewed his objec- tion to haye.the knife go as evgdence as it had not beén posmvely idetitified. Judge Hickey denied the motion. Power of Niagara. What makes Niagara falls' power possible is the fact that Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Erie,. with a combined area of 90,000 square miles, representing the reser- voirs of some 250,000 square miles of watershed, are situated 600 feet above the sea level. The great volume of wa- ter falling over the vast territory flows on its natural: course to the Atlantic ocean with but a slight descent until it is brought into the narrow Niagara river, when, in the rapids just above the falls, it declines fifty-five feet and then, with a single plunge, drops into the abyss 165 feet below. Eminent eh- gineers have computed that 275,000 cu- bic feet of water pass over the falls every second, representmg in theoret- ical energy over 6,000,000 horsepower. ' Hard to Please. Nobody outside the journalistic pro- fession has any idea how difficult it is trons.

TERMS. _ M t t Origin -of Some of, the Expressions That Smell of the Sea. The word \admiral\ comes from lord of the sea. - “Captain” domes straight from the Latin \caput a head; but \mate\ is almost identical with the Icelandic éimati,\ which means a companion or equal. RCockswam was originally the man who pulled the after oar of the cap- tain's boat. then known as “cock boat.\ \Cock *bosf\ 'is a corruption of the word \coracle and, as most people know, the eqracle is a small round boat used for fishm\ on some of the Welsh cock‘swala comes to us from the Welsh. \Commodore\ is simply the Italian \naval cadet\ was originally the French \capdet which, going a step further back, bas the same origin as the word captain. The reason of this apparent anomaly is that originally na- val cadets were younger sons of noble families who served as privates pre- vious to obtaining their commissions. \Davy. Jones,\ though we frequently hear of his locker. One ought to talk of \Duffy Jonah's\ locker. ''Duffy\ is the West Indian negro term for spirit or ghost, while \Jonah\ refers to the prophet of that name. ~ \Dog watch\ is another curious case of a term gradually corrupted out of its qriginal form.. Originally It was \Dodge watch,\ so described because it lasts only two instead of the usual four hours, and thus makes it possible every day during the same hours. .
