On the thirl ballot the sen. tence of death was made unanimous. Testimony of Finger Print Experts. Counsel for Jennings asked for a mew trial on the ground that the finger print_evidence should not have been allowed. As a result it is probable that the supreme court will be asked to rule on such evidence in criminal cases. The murderer of Hiller rested his hand on a_ freshly painted porch railing at the Hiller home. After the murder the railing was sawn off and taken to detective headquarters, whern photographs were made of ths finger prints in the paint. These photo- graphs were enlarged. After Jennings’ arrest the Imprints were compared with new imprints of his left hand, made at the police bureau of identifi cation. Winger print experts_testified at the trial that there were 33 points similarity between the first three fingers of the left hand of Hiller's murderer and that of Jennings. The Crim er, who was chief clerk fn_the Chicago offices of the Rock Island railroad, was shot to death in the front hall of his suburban residence at Washington Heights, IIL, by a neero | | burglar.

BUT ONE HARBOR ABLE TO DOCK BIG BATTLESHIPS Average Depth of from 50 to 60 Feet at Portsmouth. Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 10.—Giving fisures to support the assertion that the coming big ships of the navy will Dbe unable to dock at any Atlantic coast navy vard except Portsmouth, and claiming further that under cer- tain conditions no other navy yard could accommodate the battleships now in commission, the local branch of the National Masters, Mates and Pilots’ association today forwarded to Secretary of the Navy Meyer a com- munication intended to convihce him that the Portsmouth yard Is ifdispen- sable. In the communication it is asserted that should battleshins of the Florida- Utah type become grippled by strand- ing, collision or by an enemy’s shot to such an extent that several compart- ments become filled with water, their normal draught of thirty feet would be so increased that they could be berth- ed at no navy yard on the Atlantic coast except Portsmouth. Here there is an average depth at the wharves of from 50 to 60 feet, while at other yards 35 feet is the maximum. according to the communication forwarded to Sec- retary Meyer.
