A fow young men in an eastern town who had been buying tickets in that concern for a year or so tried an ex periment winch cost nothing and at the same time would seem as satis factory as though they bought the tickets. They imagined they bought largely and had tho number of the tickets marked and whenover a draw ing took place they procured the published lists. Iu tbi3 way they found that for every thousand dollars they paid out they rarely ever got back ovon five hundred. If any reader buys such tickets let him try the same experiment. Capital Journal.

"I examined Mrs. Ingleton's head; she was out on right side of head, there were also two cuts or bruises on her head; one of the cuts pene trated the inner table of the skull; the other two were through the skin down to the bone; the cuts on the head appeared to have been made by some sharp edgea instrument; tue cuts on tho hand made apparently by blows; she' made several incoher ent statements regarding the occur rence." (Signed) A. L. Fultos. J. E. Gilstrap, swern: "Wa3 in front of P. A. Stokes' store at 1030 yesterday morning; beard screamine; saw woman running, carrying hatch et; when she got within a few feet of me she said, get a doctor; lor uoa a sake get a doctor,' she was covered with blood and seemea out or her mind. I went up Btaii's; saw Livings - ton lying on his baok by the sido of the bed in No.'9; he wasn't dead; in half a minute he was moved out in tho hall; he died in front of the door in about two minutes; his mouth was filled with blood and he could not speak. I passed through hall, saw a revolver through open door of room 13, chief of police Barry and I went m; about in front of the door set a chair; the pistol was lying on the chair, thi-s was about noon; in the center of tho room wo3 a woman's skirt, turned partly wrong side out;! there was a bed in tho adjoining room; tho bed had been made up, the white counterpane was turned back; the bed looked mussed and crumpled; on tbe side of tbe bed was a wet place on the white counterpane, about the size of halt the palm of a man's hand. Chief of Police Barry had asked me to go with him into the rooms, stand there and watch him to sec all that he did.'" (Signed) J. B. Gilstbai'. Dr. J. A.

I then took a small picas of the counterpane where it was stained, about half an inch square; (it was still moist) and subjected it to micro scopical analysis; also examined un der microscope a small part of tbe fluid on counterpane not yet dried; the result proving the fact that the stain on the counterpane had been produced by seminal fluid." "Examined woman's head; had three wounds on left side; two made by blunt instrument; ber throat ex hibited a alight bluish stain on the right side; the woman's clothes were torn." Signed J. A.

The jury then went up to St. Mary's hospital to take tho testimony of Mrs. Ingleton, who was in a ward in that institution, with a bandaged head and arm, and evidently in a very weakstite. Being sworn, she said: "Livingston came to our rooms yes terday morning and I asked bim to fix tbe muslin curtain on the transom over the door; I went into the bed room and soon I heard bim look the doer: I was surprised at that, and as I started to go out in tbe room whero ho was he. caught me around the waist and pushed me into the bed room. Then I said, Til holler, let me go or I'll call Jimmy.' tie said, 'do yon think I am a fool? I went down to the docs and saw that your husbands boat was gone before I came up here. K you make a noise Til cut your throat Then he pushed me down on the bed. and held me there and began tearing at my clothes. Then I thought of the revolver, and that it was under the cover on the bureau. I said to Livingston den't hurt me, let me ge'tTip, sad I will let you do what-you want. As I got up I turned and grabbed tho re volver which was on tho bureau un der the cover; his back was toward me, and be seemed to be fixing his olothes. I d'soharged tho revolver at his baok, whioh wa3 turned to me. As soon as the revolver waa dis charged ho grabbed up a hatchet from the washstand, which he had been using to drivo tacks with in place of a hammer, he up with it and knooked tho revolver out of my hand. I ran to the door to got away, but it was locked, and wbilo I was trying to got out ho cut me in two places with the batohet, at last I got tho door anlooked and ran out of the room and ho after me; bo hit mo the last time a3 I got to the doer: then T staggered into the room and saw him fall on Mrs. Ossenbreggen's bed. I thought that no would como at me again, .so. I took the hatchet from him and ran away. I didn't mean to kill him, but wanted to defend my. sen rrom mm. men men met me on tho street and brought me to tho doctor 3 office." (bigned) Mrs. Eose Kino Ikqleton. After taking Mrs. Ineleton's testi- mony the jury went over to the 100ms where tho shooting had been done and-took a view of tho premises Chief of pohoe Barry's testimony was the last taken; being sworn he said: 1 got here from tho pest houso at 11 oclock yesterdoy merning: I went to the premises and examined them; I found the furnituro as it is at present; examined the bed in the ueen maae up 11 pan oeen lain on, and it gave evidenco of a severe scuffle; found on side of counterpane a damp stain on tbo edge toward the front of the bed; brought Dr. J. A. Fulton, took the counterpane to his office, and be made a microscopical examination of that part of it that had the stain; he found it to be sem inal fluid; went with bim and ex amined body; with result as given in his testimony. I found a gunshot wound in tbe back on tbo left side below the fifth rib; the ball appeared fo have been fired at a distance from his bacis of two or three feet. (Signed) " W. J. Barry. L There waa no further testimony proffered to.the jury.
