Smith testifed to another loan of | 4,000 from the Carnegie Trust. All but | $500 of this had been drawn out at the time of the feflure of the Carnegie Trust. These transactions, it was declared by tho prosecutor, proved that the loans were made after Hyde had favored the Carnegie Trust and that Hyde thus obtained @ personal profit by depositing elty funds in concerns that lent money to the then tottering Carnegie Trust Company, Books of the Carnegie Trust Company showed that Hyde had guaranteed the Smith note and thet there was no se- oret about it. These books also showed that Hyde had guaranteed the debts of Norcross, and that $17,676 of such debts had been paid. Smith was not cross-examined by the defense and the State rested its case. When Mr. Stanchfileld renewed his motion to dismiss the indictment against Hyde on the grounds of ineuMotency of charges, he also asked that all of Smith's evidence be stricken out on the ground that {t wes incompetent and hearaay. He requested that the test!- mony of all witnesses who had told of conversations to which Hyde himself party be ruled out of the hearsay testimonyt “The charg Mr. Stanchfield said, “@o not constitute a crime. We mow ask Your Honor to advise the jury to acquit the defendant upon the that the evde prove a crime.

The following employees of the eutphur works received serious injurtes and were removed in the ambulances of St. Catherine's, the Hastern Dis- trict and the Williamsburg Hospitals: JAMES JUDGE, sixteca, of Wo, 860 DeKald avenue.

FIRE SPREAD OVER THREE BLOCKS, ‘The fire started with « series of terride explosions in the fivestory. building of the Union Sulphur Company, fronting on North Tenth street and Kent avenue, spread to the eixetory storage warehouse for hay and crain owned by the Brooklyn Western District Terminal Company, thence. to the Goranton and Lebigh Valley coal yards, and finally to the great cluster of manufactories, tanks end stills of the Pratt Oll Company. Fire men are now fighting to keep the biase from the main buildings of the oil works, a subsidiary plant of the Stamdard Of] Company, and from the plant and tanks of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company. It was shortly after 1,30 o'clock when the initial explosion occurred on the ground floor of the sulphur works, The eeventy employees of the com- pany were all at work in the building when the first explosion came, from what cause cannot be determined. @ rending force of the explosion hurled @ dozen men who were work- ing in the vicinity clear across the floor in the big room where the mixing vats were. One man {t hurled to the coiling, and he fell with a fractured ekull. Instantly flames sprung up amid the wreckage, and the other employees who rushed to the ecene of the explosion to rescue their unvonscious fellow. workmen were smothered in billows of choking sulphur emoke. In the ewift minutes that followed more than one man took his life in’ his hands to plunge into the yellow glare, shot with blue sulphur flames, to drag out to the open air some unconscious workman, EIGHT WERE SHOT INTO RIVER. > Hardly had the ground floor been cleared when a series of lesser ex- plosions followed, Some of the office staff, believing that they could save the books before the fire reached the offices, rushed back into the building and to the row of office rooms facing the East River. Hardly had they dis- appeared when another blinding explosion came and eight bodies were shot out of the opened side of the factory building into the river. A police launch which had put over from the Manhattan shore upon the firet shock of the explosions picked up five men from the river, The other three are believed to have drowned. The five, all of them frightfully burned, were rushed to St, Catherine's Hospital. Deputy Fire Chief Lally, in charge of Brooklyn, rushed to the scene of the fire upou the second alarm, He saw the solid pillar of flame, nearly \two hundred feet square, being whipped from the root of the sulphur factory over into tho nest of inflammable buildings north and east of the Diasing structure and jn rapid quocespion he gent in @ fourth alarm and them tg 4 a
