He did this in order to illustrate some story he was relating to his friend. The palma of his hands rested on the meta! binding rim of the seat back and he had hardly rested them on the metal when hie body was shaken by a heavy electric shock and he was unable to let go.

A Reavy current of electricity ran through his body and made his feet dance involuntarily and pound the floor, The screams of both men cre- ated a panic among the other pas- eengers of the car and the motorman, thinking that @ gang of hoodlums were engaged in a fight, blew his 8 O, 8, signal for police ald. ‘The conductor of the train, who was stationed on the platform of the o rushed in to afd the two magnetized men and the minute he took hold of Kentor he was shocked and unable to let go.

WILL QUESTION BEATTIE A8 TO BEULAH BINFORD. Upon th kind of story told by the prisoner to-day many things are de- pendent. It already has been cemon- strated by the defense that the accused would cling minutely to hig story at the Coroner's inquest concerning the al leged highwayman and would continae to discredit Paul Beattie, both with re- spect to the purchase of the fatal shot- gun and the alleged confession, which Paul says he heard from the lips of the accused the night after the tragedy. Importance will attach to the explana- tion of the prisoner e@ to his relations with Beulah Binford, the so-called “girl In the case.” Not eo many details of the alleged motive for the crime had been brought to the surface by the prosecu- tion at the timp the accused was on the stand at the Coroner's inquest, and for to-day’s cross-examination the prosecu- tion let tt be known that it had geome Interesting questions to ask the prisoner concerning the girl. Beulah, although summoned by the Prosecution, was not put on the stand, and if woes on at ail tt will be tn the rebuttal which ts to begin Mon- day. If the prisoner admits his re- lationship with the girl in much the same way he did at the Coroner's in- quest, the prosecution may not ask the girl to testify, as it is an open secret that her numerous statements and chatter about the case has demons- trated to both sides a certain risk in allowing her to take the stand, One report to-day was that the de fense might before the trial was con- cluded point to B an accessory before the fact, and the prosecution, it it 1s understood, has been working on tn- formation concerning @ girl who ts re- ported to have been told by Beulah that he knew of the planning of the mur- der. Only tn corroborating the testimony of Paul Beattie, who says he carried certain messages from Henry to Beu- lan just a few days prior to the mur Ger, it Is probable that the prosecution mony.
