AL WRECK. Flushing, L. I., May, 4. The feature of the Hains murder trial today, was the testimony of Dr. Piatt, physician of the Queen's county jail, who told of Peter Hains claiming to have beheld a vision of his victim, Annls, -while in that jail. The apparition occurred at night and HainB told the doctor that a combat took place. The line of defense is all in line to show Hains's insanity. " . . Tells of Attack. Dr. Piatt said that on September 10 he visited the captain in. his cell and asked him how he had slept. He said that he had slept very well after An nls left. "He was here last night," the witness declared he had said. The witness then asked the captain if Annls was dead. "Captain Hains then jumped from his bed and started for me. "You lie," he cried, and I backed away from him and out of his cell to keep him from attacking me." As the jail physician gave his testi mony, the captain showed an unus ual degree of nervousness. His eyes shifted from one place to another. He appeared to be a man who was haunted.

Grave doubts wero entertained b? the lawyers for the defense of the ability of the aged mother to withstand the strain of a long examination in her weak physical condition, but her testimony is so vital to the chain of evidence which is relied on to save her son that it was resolved to bring her.

After Results That May Come From ; Hunting It With a Light, The folly of hunting for a leak In a gas pipe with a lighted match la not so much because of the danger of as explosion as of other damage, as Is shown by the experience of a house holder not loog ago. One or two small lesks were detect' ed by going over sll the pipes and holding a lighted match to them. The smell of gas ceased, but was replaced a few hours later by the smell of burning WOOd. ' ' Another visit to the cellar showed a charred floor joist a little distance above a gas pipe. ' There was no apparent cause for this until a very close examination resulted In the finding of a tiny- jet of gas which was Issuing from the pipe beneath the beam. It was -lighted, but wss so small as to be blue In color and nearly invisible. It hsd been lighted by the match need In the first Investigation, but had not been noticed.-: "If that leak had happened to be la a lead joint Instead of an iron connection," said a gas msn.' "there would probably have been work for the Are brigade. ; The smallest possible jet of lighted gas issuing through lead will in time heat and melt the- lead and make toe leak larger until a big flame is Issuing. - . :-; : "This msy make a fire boors later In the dead of night or at a time when no one Is In the house. The only proper way to look for these very small leaks Is to paint the suspected pipe with a smooth soap lather. Just as in the case of a bicycle tire, the tiniest leak will blow a babble in the lather, and there you are." London Telegraph. ' 0EX1CAW JACAtS.
