When the building was in a safe condition, it was turned over to Weinerman, owner of the building, and also a wrecker, He discharged Strong and employed a number of foreigners. The men were poorly paid and absolutely ignorant of their work, and this is held responsible for the collapse. Two killed and five or six injured is the toll of the disaster.

Counsel for the plaintiff, had questioned her at considefable length on the exaet distance of the machine from Mrs. Cooper, when the ac- tress first noticed the impend- ing disaster. “Oh, I can't say exactly what it was,’ declared Miss Anglin sweetly. “You see, I really don’t know much about distance But I shoulds think it was about a yard.” “Um, hum,” nodded the attor- ney, with a judicial stroke of his| chin; “but what should yvau say] was your best judgment of a] yard?” | “Thirty-six inches,” replied| the actress, just like that. | The jury went out and waver ed for about an hour, and the iy sliced 90 per cent. off Mrs. Cooper’s demands, and gave her a verdict of $2,500 and her hus- band $250.
