TRIAL BY TOMORROW
(By The Associated Press)
FLEMINGTON, Feb. 8 — The possibility that the de
fense will rest its case immediately aftelr court convenes to
day, gave the court an atmosphere of eager expectation.
Reilly said that there was a possibility of such a move,
for he does not expect the witness': he called for today, to
appear. *
FLEMINGTON, Feb. 8 — The defense, apparently ag
reeing with the prosecution in the belief that the most dam
aging evidence against Hauptmann, is the kidnap ladder,
hurled a last minute attack against this phase of the case.
The prosecution endeavoring to trace to Hauptmann, the
tool marks in the wood, attempting to show that Haupt
mann’s tool was used, while the defense sought to show
that it was impossible to prove such theories “beyond a rea
sonable doubt.”
The defense said they had and would call as the first
rebuttal witness, J. J. Farber, a New York Insurance man,
who told investigators that he and Benjamin Heir, a defense
witness, were involved in an auto accident at the time when
Heir said he saw Fisch at the St. Raymond’s Cemetery, the
night the ransom was paid.__

Oulying Jurors
To Serve During
Term If Drawn
| It is noted that in the Compiled
| Laws of the Territory of Alaska,
that certain provisions, whereby
names of persons drawn from the
jury box for a term of the District
Court, could be placed aside if the
expense of bringing them to Nome
and the fact that it was extremely
difficult to subpoenae them, was un
reasonable, were left out.
Judge Morison of the District
Court for the Second Divsion, states,
that in the coming general term of
court in March, names of persons
drawn from the jury box, will be
included on the panel, and they will
have to be brought to Nome to
serve, if they can be located.
Heretofore, it has been possible,
where the difficulty and expense
was too great, to lay those certain
names aside and draw new ones who
could be contacted and brought to
Nome to do jury service.

(By The Associated Press)
. ARLEY, England. Feb. 8,—A “dead"
man returned to life and health to
day. with a very satisfactory impres
sion of “the next world.”
John Puckering, a market garden
er, was “restored” to life on the op
erating table. Doctors certified that
he was “dead” for four and one-half
minutes. One of them massaged
Puckering’s heart more from a
sense of duty than with any hope,
he said, and Puckering is now back
at work, apparently in normal
health.
He said he was sorry the experi
ment worked: “What I saw during,
the brief spell of death, made me
regret I ever came back. I was
surrounded by thousands of people,
all supremely happy. Among them
were three persons whom I knew.
They nodded and smiled so happily
that I was overjoyed to be dead.
I The grave has no terrors for me
now."
