these Intelligent beasts have, on arriv

hotel for human beings. 7
The building Itself Is a large brick
i structure, comprising three stories and
' a basement, on a base 100 by 100 feet.
The basement, which Is a basement In
name only, being but two and one half
feet below the surface of the ground. Is
for the horses exclusively. The ' floor
Is of cement, too walls finished In -plas-
er. with windows on every-v aide, . af
fording perfect light: and ventilation;
great "Clock tollsoff ' the hours, every
one of which, all -through - the : long
night, sends a watchman the rounds of
the stalls to see that all. is well In the
sleeping animal world. The electric
wiring Is in conduits, that safety In this
regard, .may be Insured, v In fact,- abso
lutely nothing seems to have been left
undone that could add comfort, health
and security to this great horse home.

a special arrangement for letting it

largest one on the coast, with a metal

paints, constructed according to the
underwriters laws of Oregon. An elec

wagons from one floor to another, has
the speed of a passenger elevator.

It would delight anyone who is Inter

visit the Meier, Frank Co. stablea and
see how science and modern Inventive
genius have been applied to their com
fort and 'well being. -
Ths . stablea are distinctly for the
horses, the men who care for them

people have gotten the erroneous Idea
that the new atablea are a- kind of an

Tacoraa, Wash., Jan. 6.- Dr. John P,
Sweeny, tha family physician, and Wal
ter Vincent, a hesr-by 'neighbor of tha
Thompsons, witnesses in the Thompson
murder trial, testified to Chester's pecu
liarities,' the trend of their entire tes
timony being that ha had falsa Ideaa
relative to his surroundings.
Tha testimony of Mrs. Jennie Barnett,
nurse In the Thompson family, of
Mrs. May Thompson Calnoun, tha de
fendant's slater, and Miss Ella Gilles
pie all tended to ahow that Chester
had strange oplniona of hla responsibil
ity to hla family and that he entertained
equally erroneous conceptions of the
purport of Miss Whlttelsey's polite re-
aponse to what wltneases considered
merely a alight acquaintance, or a boy
ish one at most. .- ,
All recent testimony of witnesses haa
had for Ita sole object Chester's mental
condition justpiior Jo .tiia. shooting -of
Judge Emory. Both direct and cross
examinations have brought out from all
positive declarations thitt witnensrs con
sidered Chester either mentally unbal
anced or Insane. " .
Tha state has In a measure weakened
these conclusions by getting from wit
nesses tha admission that their deduc
tions were based entirely on tha eccen
tric actions of defendant.
Maurice Thompson, the elder brother
of the defendant.- and his maternal
grandmother, Mrs. I-ee, have given
many incidents of Chester's peculiar
home Ufa
It Is not tha Intention, of the atate to
cross-examine .very severely, as Mr. ,
Mackintosh and his ' associate believe
they have secured for the atate all ma
terial pointa already from the. narra
tives of tha actions of Chester at home.
