The law provides that such tuition be paid by the state, and the teach ers Say it is one of the most beneflcient laws or. the statute books. Last year, sixty pupils in the rural schools in this county passed the examinations and en tered the high schools in Moscow, Dalton, Waverly and Clark's Summit. This year it Is expected that at least seventy five pupils will take examinations which are to be held at o'clock, Saturday morning.

Stauffer, of South Ablngton; Paul B. Hobha, of La Plume; Frank A. Whltlock, of Newton and Miss Sara Klipple, of Ransom. These committees have been made up so as to represent as well as possible both the high schools and the districts from which pupils come in the hope that the examinations may give general satisfaction. Examination should begin promptly at 9 o'clock, and pupils should be on time.

Each pupil should bring pencil, pen, ink, pad and at least a dozen sheets of good foolscap or legal paper. To save time it will best for pupils to carry their lunches. As a general rule teachers should tend oniy strong pupils to the ex amination; but pupils who are generally strong should not be held back on account of weakness in one or two branches, es pesially if they are over fourteen years of age. And i.t will be an advantage for some to try the examination even if they do not pass, if they go in the right spirit. The whole' purpose of the examination is to lead pupils to enter high schools.

Both Dr. A. W. Smith, of the State hospital, where Verano died the morning of January 28, and Coroner Saltry testified as to the location of the wound, before Michael Sposato, a participant in the fray, testified as to the manner in which Verano was shot down.

On the strength of Sposato's testimony and that of another alleged eyewitness, the commonwealth relies for a conviction of the defendant. District Attorney Joseph O'Brien is con ducting the prosecution. Attorney John Memelo is private counsel for friends of the dead man. Casaluova is defended by Attorney F. M.

Mona ghan and James E. Watklns, who were assigned by the court to defend the prisoner. Attorney F. E. Boyle is also sitting at the defendant's side.

They, with six or seven other men, then went Into a saloon nearby and all drank. While the men were in the saloon Casaluova, the witness said, called Verano to one ajde, where they talked together for about Ave minutes. Tbey all then went out of the saloon and moved to the front of Luzzi's store, Verano and Casaluova walking together and carrying on the conver sation that they engaged in at the saloon. Sposato said he did not know what the men were discussing until he heard Casaluova say to the Ver ano: If you want, to talk me come on the side over here and I will talk to you." Pulling the Revolver. Continuing, Sposato stated that he saw Verano put a hand in a side poc ket of his trousers and as he did so, Casaluova pulled a revolver from his hip pocket and Verano started to run along the side of Luzzi's store in the direction of Verano's home.

Casaluova fired a shot and when he fired Verano fell face downward from fright. The shot did not strike him, but he lay there afraid to move, Casaluova ran up to the prostrate man and, standing about four feet away, fired again three times In succession, Casaluova was sober, the witness said, and when he fired the third shot he threw his revolver Into the and ran. I Sposato, who said he was eighteen years old, satdHhat he also was. arm ed with a revolver and that when Casaluova had finished his work and had started to run he pulled his revolver and fired three or four shots after the fugitive to compel him to stop running. Sposato stated that another man in the court, Bumvenatuto, also fired at the fleeing man to make him stop, but that Casaluova paid no heed to the shots and continued his flight from the scene.

He was ar rested in Sullivan county three weeks ago by state troopers and was brought back to stand trial by County Detective M. A. Rafter. Sposato was cross examined by Mr. Monaghan, but he held to his testimony In detail.

He was asked if he had not seen Verano with a knife raised to strike Casaluova. He said he saw no knife. He said he saw no revolver with Verano.

Mathews, superintendent of the State hospital, testified that he kept the bullet taken from the body of the victim and identified the bullet when it was shown to him. Antonio Tedesco, court interpreter, testified to going 'to the hospital for the bullet and Countv Detective' Rafter testified to receiving an envelope containing the bullet from Tedesco, The trial will be resumed today.
