j for that purpose. It was winter. My
I wife had accompanied me as a pre-
| cautionary measure. She was sitting
I in the laboratory to keep warm, near
a big barrel stove charged with bitu
minous coal.
“On entering the laboratory for
something my wife asked me what
was in those two tin pails sitting near
the stove. She said that she had a
suspicion it might be nitrogylycerin,
and site informed me that one of my
men had Just been in stirring the tire
and that the sparks dew out in all di
rections. some of them light im; in the
buckets to lie quenched on top of the
oily liquid.
" •Horrors!' I said. 'It is nitroglyc

“I called the num who had placed it
there and told him to take it away. As
It was necessary to keep the material
from freezing lie took it into thp boil
er house near by. A lit lie later ou. go
ing into the boiler bouse. I saw one of
the men stirring the tire while tire oth
er wiis standing with Ills coattails out
stretched in either hand, forming a
shield to keep the sparks from dying
into the nitroglycerin.

slight lack of exact cautiou, a seem
ingly lnslgiiidcnnt inadvertence for a
moment, may cost one a limb or his
life. The accident that cost me my
left hand is a case in point.
“On the day preceding that accident
I had had a gold cap put on a tooth.
In consequence the tooth ached
throughout the night and kept me
awake n greater part of the time. In
the morning I rose early and went
down to my factory at Mnxim, N. J.
In order to test the dryness of some
fulminate compound I took a little
piece of It, nlHiut the size of an Eng
lish jieuny. broke off a Binall particle,
placed It on n stand outside the labo
ratory nnd. lighting a match, tom bed
It off.
“Owing to my loss of sleep the night
before my mind was not so alert'as
usual, nnd 1 forgot to lay aside the
remaining piece of fulminate com
pound. but instead held It in my left
hand. A spark from the Ignited piece
of fulminate compound entered my
left band between my fingers, Igniting
the piece there, with the result that
m.v hand was blown off to the wrist.
“Once when entering m.v storage
magazine at Maxim, in which were
several carloads of dynamite along
with 37.000 |>onnds of nitrogelatin, I
saw John Render, one of my employ
ees, calmly but emphatically opening
■ case of dynamite with a hammer
and a chisel. I promptly discharged
him
“Not long afterward the innkeeper
at Farmingdale called on me to buy
some dynamite and said be bad engag

his meadow lot. I told him Bender

Bender to do the work.
“ ‘Well.’ said I. 'the dynamite yon
want Is ifl cents n pound, but If John
Bender does not succeed in blowing
himself up nnd killing himself with
the dynamite you can bare It for noth

blow himself up you must pay for the
dynamite.’
"A few days later there was «o.«e

an office that combined the duties of

The trial took place in the largest
cabin in the neighborhood. The gam

counsel to defend him. Alende Black
