Osgood Pell's eult for $250,000 against the Long Island Railroad for the death of her husband is being tried. Stripped of the question and answer form by which it was brought out, Easton's story was: “My train ‘was running between twenty-five and thirty miles an vour, coasting.

Mr, Littleton first called James W. Bruce, a photographer, of No, 410 Yates Street, Brooklyn, to identify the pictures he had taken of the scene of the accident. Both Mr. Littleton and Justice Van Wyck were particu- larly careful in direct and croas-ex- amination to have the witness give the exact location of his camera for the several pictures. The jury after- ward took the photographic enlarge- ments and scanned them with care. ‘The witness said that an investigator of the Long Island Ratlroad, name Raynor, had told him where to set up his camera for the pictures. The lens, Bruce said, in answer to Justice Van Wyck's question was a wide angle one and might take in a bit more than the human eye, but there had been no attempt to exaggerate tho acene. Mr, Littleton and Justice Van Wyck could not avoid a tilt over the pictures, but Justice Aspinall put an end to all discussion of the ca- mera positions when he asked the witness, I stood where you put your camera would my eyes take in the area shown in your picture?” be Bruce replied. The case of the defense was inter- rupted by the arrival of James H.

It required the wit Neaw, the stenographer, both attor and Justice Aspinall himself to sett the matter. Faston said both his train and the automobile were about 300 feet from the crossing when he first saw the Pe!l brook that night. BUTTED INTO FIGHT, SLASHED WITH KNIFE McCarthy Deserted by Man He Tried to Aid When Attacked by Negroes. Daniel McCarthy, 38 yeara old, of No. 235 Wei t, lay on a cot in Root early to- day and explained to the detectives: “I stepped out of my door and saw man directly across the street. They had a big white bulldog which was trying to get at the white man’s throat, when I yelled and jui.ped across the street, alming a wallop at one of the blacks, Thu dog turned on me and one of the blacks whipped out a knife and caught me in the chest and the back of the neck. I fell and the blacks with thelr dog got away. The white man picked himself up and ran, too.” McCarthy hobbled to the hospital, where Dr. Burlingham dressed his injuries and detained him for the police, pao SSE OBITUARY NOTES, Baroness Julia ¥, Berndes, ninety- six years old, widow of Frederick Berndes, formerly United States Con- sul General at Havana, is dead in Bos- ton, Her husband, who came to this country from Austria, where he was a Baron, owned large tobacco manu- facturing interests in Cuba.
