Her remains were removed to the undertaking establishment of A. D. Price, Jr. and her funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the First Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson officiating. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. The coroner's inquest took place Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Coroner Broadax of Southside, presiding. Dr. R. Beecher Taylor, dentist was sworn and deposed. He said: 'I do not know anything about it at all. I was about one hundred yards from Second and Leigh Sts. I went down there and I saw her lying beside the car. I saw she was hurt and I took her up and carried her to the hospital. I think the man who struck her went down in the car with us to the hospital. He went back up town and brushed the lady's son down to the hospital. I've been knowing the lady all of my life. She was about eight feet from the curb, when I picked her up. RETAINED CONSCIOUSNESS "She was on Second Street. The man who was driving the car was goer. She was conscious going to the hospital. She asked where was her pocket book. The key to her residence was in it. She lost consciousness as soon as she got to the hospital. STEPPED IN FRONT OF CAR. John Smithers said, 'My name is John Smithers. I live at 524 A West Duval Street. I was in the car that struck the deceased. We were going down Leigh Street east and turned around Second Street. The lady came around and stepped in front of the car. We blew the horn. James Jones, 512 W. Goddin Street was the driver of the car. He had not been drinking. No, sir, not at all. She was crossing just below where she should have crossed. It is kind of dark on that corner. The car stopped immediately after striking her. We were going north. The driver put on his emergency brake and stopped just as he struck her. We picked her up at once and hurried her to st. Phillips Hospital. A. CHAUFFERLESS TAXI Emmet Kemp, 428 W. Duval St. was sworn and deposed. He said "I was in the car that struck Mrs. Lovey Turner. It was about 5:50 P. M. November 22, 1925. We were going east when we turned the car to go north on Second Street. She stepped directly in front of the car. I was on a rear seat on the right hond side. It was a Ford sedan It was a chaufferless taxi car." "Were any of you drinking?" asked the coroner. "No, sir," was the quick response. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. James E. Jackson, 410 E. Clay Street, being sworn and deposed, said: "I was standing on the southeast corner of Second and Leigh Streets about 5 or 6 o'clock. Just at this time, a car passed. She stepped across the curb and the car driven by Jones struck her. He could not have prevented striking her. It might have gotten me. It was an unavoidable accident. A car had passed in front and the driver could no avoid striking her as the car in front made it impossible for him to see her. I did not hear any car. JUDGE SENTENCES MEMBERS OF NORTH CAROLINA MOB. ASHEVILLE, N. C.—Eleven of twenty defendants who have been on trial charged with storming the Buncombe County jail on September 19, in an attempt to take a cooled man therefrom, were convicted and received sentences of from 6 months on the roads to one indeterminate sentence of from four to eight years in the penitentiary. The jury was out for about six hours, and on two occasions returned to the courtroom to have evidence read affecting several of the defendants. There was little surprise shown when the verdict of the jury was announced, the general belief having been among court attaches and spectators that several of the defendants MADE PROPER TURN "The driver made the proper turn and was going at about $ 10 miles per hour. He stopped almost instantly. He tried to get me to put her in his car, but I called a taxi and although she wanted to be carried home, I thought it best to carry her to St. Philips Hospital." This ended the testimony. On a cooling board" at A. D. Price's establishment, Mrs. Lucy B. Turner lay as though in peaceful slumber, save for a bruise in the neighborhood of her right temple.

WILLIS Popular in Virginia Fraternal Circles. Drops Dead 'Midst Memorial Services Col. Willis Dies While Memorializing Sons and Daughters of Peace. Colonel William H. Willis dropped dead in Mt. Olivet Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. His funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the Fourth Baptist Church, Rev Evans Payne, D. D. officiating. He was many years (Grand Master-Arms of the Grand Lodge, K of P. of Virginia. The following report from the columns of the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, Nov. 23 tells the story: "Prepare my soul. O Lord for that great day.... "Was, me in Thy blood. When the mists have rolled away." As he uttered the last word quoted in the chant familiar-to-colored Bap triregulations, William H. Willis, 50 years old, of 915 N.

Scott, cooled, claimed it for burial. They were taking the body away when an ambulance, Dr. Baughin in charge, arrived. Theh Floyd Jackson, 26, a member of the colored Elks, interfered. Jackson protested that the dead man was a brother Elk and he claimed the body for the Lodge of Elks. An altercation ensued, friends of the dead man taking sides with the several claimants for the corpse of Willis. Jackson objected to the participation of the ambulance surgeon, who had responded to an emergency call. Officer W. M. Angel from the First Station, arrested Jackson and him, at the station on a The tragic end of Willis threw the church into consternation. Only the coolness and presence of mind of the pastor. Rev. J. A. Bowler who was in the pulitp prevented a panic. The pastor ebowled his way through the frightened throne and gave directions for the removal of the body, exhorting peace and order. The worshippers followed the body to the street. Hundreds of other colored people, attracted by the commotion, filled the street, and intense excitement prevailed. Dramatic circumstances attended the death of Willis. He was the president of a church society, the Sons and Daughters of Peace, which was holding the annual memorial services in Pastor Bowler's church for the fourteen members who have died since the society was organized On an improvised altar, fourteen candles burned. Willis was delivering the memorial address. The closing feature of the address was the calling of the roll of the dead. As each name was called a candle was extinguished, symbolizing the passing of a soul. Willis had called the fourteenth and last name, and was concluding with the chant quoted above, when he was stricken. Conner Broadax, who is acting for Dr Whitfield, who is ill, said death was due to organic heart trouble. He deemed an inquest unnecessary. Pastor Bowler said that Willis, who was a devout religionist spoke and prayed fervently yesterday. He died in a state of spiritual exultation, the victim of the excitement by his excessive fervor. SEVERAL CLAIM BODY Shortly after the body of Willis was carried out to the sidewalk colored men from the undertaking establishment of R. C. Scott, colored, arrived with an automobile and claimed it for burial. They were taking the body away when an ambulance, Dr. Baughn in charge, arrived. Then Flyd Jackson, 26, a member of the colored Elks, interfered. Jackson protested that the dead man was a brother Elk and he claimed the body for the Lodge of Elks. An altercation ensued, friends of the dead man taking sides with the several claimants for the corpse of Willis. Jackson objected to the participation of the ambulance surgeon, who had responded to an emergency call. Officer W. M. Angel from the First Station, arrested Jackson and him at the station on a charge of interfering with the ambulance, surgeon in the discharge of his duty and being disorder y in the street. Friends came to the rescue of Jackson at the station and he was bailed for his appearance in Police Court today. Oscar Broadaxn settled the dispute by delivering the body to the Scott undertaking establishment, the understanding that it should be surrendered today, if the widow surviving Willis desires another undertaker to have it. The family engaged Funeral Director Robert C. Scott to take charge of the remains and so far as he and the widow and relatives were concerned there was no disagreement The casket was of Florentine silver finis, design with heavy bar extension handles. The funeral was handled to the absolute satisfaction of all parties concerned. Rev. Evans Payne, D. D. announced that owing to a cibid and the condition of his throat, he would be unable to preach the funeral of Colonel W. H. Willis. Rev. A. D. Daly, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church delivered the funeral discourse. Rev. J. H. Binford swayed the 'arge gathering in a short discourse and the sizing of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?"

"There was suspicion in my mind on the 18th," he said. "But you were never really sure your wife had colored blood in her veins until May, 1924." "No, March," said Rhinelander. "March, 1924." "No, March, 1925," he said and Davis said ironically. "Thank you for the correction." Rhinelander said he swore to the complaint on November 24, 1924, and that in the complaint, which he read, he had stated that his wife represented herself to be white, "which representation plaintiff subsequently discovered to be wholly untrue."

"There was suspicion' in my mind on the 19th," he said. "But you were never really sure your wife had colored blood in her veins until May, 1921. 'No, March,' said Rhinelander. "No, March," said Khnielander. "March 1924?" March, 1924. "No, March, 1925," he said and Davis said ironically. "Thank you for the correction." Rhinelander said he swore to the complaint on November 24, 1924, and that in the complaint, which he read, he had stated that his wife represented herself to be white, "which representation plaintiff subsequently discovered to be wholly untrue." "Did you swear to that?" said Davis, becoming savage for the first time. "Yes," said Rhinelander. "Was it true or not true?" "It was true." "You swore that the representation that she did not have colored blood was wholly untrue." "I can't answer that I must qualify it," said Rhinelander, after a pause. Davis handed him the complaint and he read it through. He said he was not sure until March, 1925, that she had colored blood. "Which is true," said Davis, "that you were sure she had colored blood in 1924, as you in this complaint, or that you doubted it until 1925." Rhinelander was at a loss for the first time. His eyes twitched, he clasped and unclasped his hands and stiffened with nervous anticipation as Davis demanded a direct answer. "You recognize that those two statements are opposed, do you not, and both can't be true?" shouted Davis. "Which is true? Take your time; I want to be kind to you," as his voice sank to a satirical gentleness. "The one in March," Rhinelander finally said, "Oh, so the one in March is true," said Davis. "So you swore to something untrue in that subway station!" DOUBT IN HIS MIND "No, there was some doubt in my mind," was the answer. "There was enough doubt so you could swear emphatically that she was a liar?" "Yes," said Rhinelander. "Not is true that you didn't read that complaint until after it was skinned?" asked Davis. "No" Davis showed him a telegram and asked him if he sent it, which Rhinelander desired, then he was asked if he had sent any message to his wife after he left her. He sent one by Jacols, he said. He was asked about the ring he had given her and if he remembered what had been said in the correspondence about giving her an automobile. "Do you remember giving your wife an automobile as a wedding present?" "I did not." "Did you intend to?" "I believe so," said Rhinelander. "Did you give Jacobs a note to go up and take the automobile away?" "Yes," he said. He denied, however, that he had told Jacobs to take away the furniture from the apartment he and his wife had inhabited such a brief time. He did not learn about Jacobs' action until a month later, and then he did not order it sent back. "Then if he did so he did it without authority from you?" "Yes," he said. "Jacobs is a sort of general in this case, isn't he?" said Davis, trying to make his point that Rhinelander had done as he was told. "I don't know." "Does he always do things without your orders?" "Not always." "Who office does he work in?" "My father's office." DENIES RELEASING WIFE'S LETTERS Rhinelander denied that he had released his wife's letters for use in the case, and said he had seen them in his room in his father's home. You are doing this of your own volition? "Yes." He didn't see the letters in the trunk. he said, as he had left them in a drawer in his room, and somebody else had transferred them (Continued on page 8.) SUCH IS THE FAITH OF MEN By A. B.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA FROM CHOIR TO GRAND OPERA Small Town Girl Achieves Ambition When Radio Fans "Applaud" Her Singing AFTER LOOKING OVER ALL MY SOCKS FOR AN HOW THIS IS THE BEE PAIR I COULD FIND THERE SAME TWO BUTTONS HAVE BEEN OFF MY UNDERWEAR FOR A YEAR IF THE NECK OF THIS SHIRT SHRINKS ANY MORE ILL HAVE TO ORDER A SMALLER ADAM'S APPLE THIS is the story of a small town American girl, now 45 years old, who, with less than no influence and with everything against her, has achieved operatic triumphs. Starting with a voice, good looks, industry and determination to succeed she recently achieved her ambition, a contract with the Merapolitan Grand Opera Company. It is doubtful whether any opera star ever beamed a wider gap in as short a time as did Mary Lewis of Little Rock, Ark. And it remained for the session being held to '67 the region's star, whom Hopper abused in Vienna Monte Carlo, Paris and London won her many friends. Yet she was unable to gain a place in the grand opera classic of this country until her voice had been carried into thousands of homes through the radio. Sang at Revivals Child of a domestic, she began singing in revival tent meetings at Little Rock at a salary of $30 a month. At the age of 8 she had been adopted by the Rev W S Fitch a Methodist minister. "Mr Fitch was very musical." Miss Lewis says, "and I think he was attracted to me by the fact that even at that age I was always singing. The first song he taught me was, Jesus wants Me for a Sun beam, and my first appearance before any audience was when I stood up and sang that hymn in Sunday school in Little Rock. After that Mr Fitch taught me a new hymn each week, and today I believe I know every hymn in the Methodist hymnal." Her first step along the road to fame came when she joined a chorus of a variety company that filmed in with vaudeville acts between pictures at movie houses. Then came a ting at the movies and next a place in a third rate musical show. Accepted for "Follies" Accepted for Foilies When the show disbanded in Los Angeles she met Raymond Hitchcock, who after hearing her beautyful soprano voice urged her to go to New York. Upon her arrival there she obtained a place in the chorus of the band, and Florenz Ziegeld then signed her for the prima donna role in the "Foilies." Not satisfied with anything less than an operatic career she gained a hearing with Gatti STK Cassanza, improvisario of the Metropolitan Opera Company. On his advice she went abroad to study under Jean de Reskke. Then followed engagements with the Monte Carlo Opera Company, the Vienna Opera and the British National Opera Company. When she returned to this country some time ago she was caged to sing over the radio from Station WEAF.

Mary Lewis is but one of four girls who have become stars in the musical world from the "Main Streets" of Arkansas. The others, are Mary McCormick, of the Paris and Chicago Opera Companies; Anne Bertner, in the concert field in New York, and Marian McHane, who has entered upon a promising concert career as a pupil of Ovide Muslin.

SOME PEOPLE will tell anything and do anything to win. They overlook the "moving finger", the slow but sure visitation of eternal justice THE RHINELANDER case is interesting reading, but it has no particular interest to the average colored person. Mrs. Rhinelander has a white English mother. Her father is not of American birth. ABUSING SOME white people may be all right; abusing all white people is all wrong. Some of our best friends are among the white people and some of our worst enemies are among the colored folks. It is a peculiar paradoxical condition, but it is nevertheless true. HON. L. C. DYER, author of the Anti-lynching Bell delivered an able address to an enthusiastic meeting here last Wednesday night. It was under the auspices of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. This cause is a most worthy one and should be generously supported. THE-BRILLIANT James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is sending out a letter which contains statements which under normal conditions would be almost unbelievable. He says that Dr. O. H. Sweet, his wife and nine other Detroit colored people, under the leadership of the able Currence Darrow, one of the ablest, if not the ablest criminal lawyer in this country are defending themselves against a charge of first degree murder, for having killed a white man, presumably a member of a mob attacking Dr. Sweet's home. This remarkable case is taking place in Detroit, Michigan and not in Dallas, Texas or near Natchaz, Mississippi. The estimated amount of money needed to conduct the defense is placed at fifty thousand dollars. There should be no hesitation in raising the amount. Checks made payable to J. E. Spingarn, treasurer of the Association will aid this great movement. As for Dr. Sweet, if he is to be left to himself and personal friends to raise the amount, his execution is a foregone conclusion.

The rise of these two mid-western girls to stellar roles in America's great shrine of music is a story of courage. SIX --- by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Controlling Your Weight There are at least three ways to acquire flesh: to eat too much, to eliminate too little, and to ride everywhere instead of walking. Reverse procedures if you would lose flesh. Eat less and exercise more, if your adipose threatens. Fat people usually drink too much fluid at meals. Fluids ALL aid absorption. There are millions of absorbing glands in the intestine, and they are constantly at work, unless we may imagine the Lymph-channels so full that they will hold no more. Fat people absorb too much—more than they can dispose of properly. Since dry food absorbs more slowly and sparingly, your stout lady should drink no fluid at mealtime nor soon after. Note that I say FLUIDS. All dilutents must be excluded, tea, milk, coffee, and other prepared beverages are as harmful at meals as water. Excess of sugars and starches should be avoided as well, also white bread. The six o'clock dinner is the foe of long life. Avoid it. Indolent habits dispose one to fatness. OVERFLESH is sluggish, inactive, weakened tissues. Fat women have toiled, rolling on the floor, enduring hard sweats, submitting to maulings of "massage" all the while pouring down fluids with meals, and eating six-course, six-o'clock dinners, taking "anti-fat" sure things, and wondering why on earth they remain fat! Here I may emphasize that drugs do not remove the CAUSE. Neither belts, pads, or "supporters" out-do vigorous absorptive apparatus, when the intake of absorbable foods is pushed beyond all needs of the body. NEXT WEEK— "INFLUENZA".

John Grimes had been cheating her hands, but he dropped them and stood upright. His features were convulsed with horror. "Fire at the mill house?" he murmured dully. "Do you know what she means?" He turned fiercely on his wife. But Mrs. Grimes shook her grizzled head and mouthed a denial. "That man-monkey shall tell me," cried the keeper, and he strode from the cottage, followed by Wregge, who unobtrusively attached himself to Mr. Coline again. "May God forgive me!" groaned the keeper with sincerity. "I thought I was serving the family—not a friend. He has got his cousin and her sweetheart shut up there!" The deluded worshipper of the Glenister tradition started to run across the clearing, with Wommerley's troupe at his heels giving tongue like a pack of badly brokenounds on a false scent. In the turmoil caused by the accident to the leading lady the electrician had omitted to switch off the light, and the mill stood stark and silent, a ghost haunted memory of other days, in the artificial glow. Wragge glanced at it and decided that the stalwart game-keeper was competent to deal with a situation that had not yet arisen. Just now his duty lay nearer to hand—the hand that had once more taken quiet possession of the cabinet minister's arm. He looked sideways at the refined and clever face that was almost cheek-by-jowl with his own. It was all sagged and drawn into unacustomed lines that indicated tremendous emotion—emotion suggesting a well-high overwhelming dread under a control strained to mapping point. Yet Wraggo had looked on that face and qualified before it at intervals during the worst moments of his life. He would have been less than human if a note of triumph had not crept into his voice. "Mr. Cohn," he said, "I am under the disadvantage of holding no war." Your Birth Is it this NOV. 2 If your birthday is this week, jovial disposition.

For a few seconds Mr. Colne did not answer. He seemed to be intent on watching the progress of John Grimes, who by now had almost reached the stepping-stones. The keeper had chosen that route to the mill as the shortest from the cottage, overlooking the fact that it would take more time to traverse than that across the top of the dam. The stepping-stones were in darkness, whereas the dam was in the full glare of Mr. Womersley's electric projector. The great statesman had the silver tones of his beautiful voice well under control when at last he broke the silence. "What of yourself, Wragge?" he said quietly. "Have you counted the cost of the action you are pro- 21 JOHN GRIMES STOOD UPRIGHT, HIS FEATURES WERE CONVULSED WITH HORROR. posing to take? The records of your early lapse from the straight path are still in being, remember." "I have not forgotten, sir," replied the inspector gravely. Then he laughed a little and added: "There being no witnesses present, I do not mind confessing that I am hoping for great things from these records now that I have completed my case against you. The authorities will hold it to my credit that I have arrested a highly placed criminal in spite of the fact that he had this pull over me. My lapse, as you call it, was a mere trifle compared with yours, Mr. Colne, and I have atoned for it by years of faithful service to the state." "I see," sneered the cabinet minister. "You funked my pull over you till you baited a greater one over me. What a homily I should be able to deliver to Parliament on the moral rectitude of the police force. But see here, Wragge, as man to man, if you really intend to brave the perils of your past, will ten thousand pounds and the chief constabulary of a county induces you to abandon the idea." "Not on your life, sir. I have too many ignominious years of being bullied and browbeaten by you to wipe out," responded Wragge. Mr. Colte sighed as one who deplores the folly of a feebler mind. Then a short gasp broke from him. birthday week? 29—DEC. 5 If you have a remarkably happy and g, honest, fearless and blunt. You act without reflection, but when giv- lined to be timid and cautious.

Preoccupied as they both were, the same thing had obtruded on their senses and distracted their attention simultaneously. Away beyond the mill-race another light had broken out which was not the steady glow of the Amphibian electric. Red flames were shooting from the door of the mill-house, licking tongues of fire struggling with a belching cloud of smoke. John Grimes and his motley following had vanished in the darkness that enshrouded the stepping-stones, but a mighty roar from the keeper's lungs proclaimed that he knew he was too late. Wraggs the grip may have relaxed owing to the diversion. Be that as it may. Mr. Colne wrenched himself free and, for a man of his years, ran with amazing swiftness toward the dam. When he had covered some twenty yards he halted and called back: "There are lives to be saved. I shall do my best." The mill was ablaze, and in the weird blend of smoke and fire round the door human figures were moving wildly, as in some fantastic dance. Wraggle could not distinguish one from the other as he trod the slippery path. Stephen Colne had vanished into the heart of the elusive picture. CHAPTER XXVII "Sheep and Goats" L FGRINSTEAD was met on the threshold of the upper room by Norman and Kathleen when he returned from his reconnaissance on the landing. "We're up against it," he announced grimly. "The burt has set the blooming show afire. Got any water, miss?" Kathleen pointed to the ewer and basin on the cheap wasstand. The ewer on half full of clean water; the basin contained the rest, which she had used during the day. Aff. saturing the towels in the clean water, bound them round the girl's head and feet. Snatching a couple of sheets from the bed, he soaked them in the basin and made hoods for his master and himself. "Now we will carry her down and out, sir," he said. "Can you stand it, Katty?" asked Norman. "Rather?" the reply came gurgling through the wet towel. So rapidly did they bear her down the stairs that the deep breath she drew on starting lasted her as long as she had to endure the smoke that rolled up the well of the staircase, and the rush across the blasting entry was accomplished with no greater damage than a scorched shoulder. As they passed through the outer door on to the bank of the millrace they were met by John Grimes, gesticulating like a madman. "Thank God!" he bellowed, recognizing Norman and Katherine as they tore off their protective bandages. "Anyone left inside." "She Dudley is lying in the entry," replied Norman. "I kicked against someone on the floor and it couldn't have been anyone else." The gamekeeper plunged into the furnace and was out again almost as soon as they realized his intention. His hair and eyebrows were on fire, but he extinguished them with an impatient gesture as soon as his hands were free of his load. For in his arms he carried the baronet of Beechwood Grange, a limp and helpless as a sack of potatoes and horribly burned in edition to the injustice inflicted by Alf. Mercifully he had not all consciousness. Grimes had him tenderly down on the bank and was beginning to about orders to the Wemmerley crew to run for the doctor, when from the door three came with a rush the Right Honorable Stephen Cube. He was out of breath and one was out of breath when he came to a standstill. The piercing eye had so often held the House in thrall were shining like the those of a mystic who seek beyond the veil. He raised his right hand. (To Be Continued) the Judge's Josh WIVES QUIT WEARING DRESSES THAT NEED HOOKING UP THE BACK—BUT NOW WE HAVE TO SHAVE THEIR NECKES!

(Continued From Page 1) "How did you know they were taken out of the trunk?" persisted Davis. "Mr. Jacobs told me," said Rhinelander. "Did you object to his taking your private and confidential letters out of your trunk without your consent?" asked Davis in astonishment. "Why, I did, yes," said Rhinelander. "Was that before you had signaled the complaint, or after?" "After, several months after." "He stole them out of your trunk, to be perfectly trunk, didn't he?" "No, he had a right to." "What authority did you give him to go to your trunk and take out these letters your wife had sent you before your marriage?" "He was my lawyer," said the composed young man. He had also objected to the letters being used in the trial, he said, but in September, when the matter was first broached to him, he was told that it was for his own benefit for him to submit them in open court to a jury. "You were willing to have these used for your own benefit?" asked Davis scathingly. "No," said Rhinelander. "Willing for your own benefit to have this real?" "Yes," he answered, not at all disconcerted. PROMISED TO KEEP LETTERS SAFE. "You promised this little girl to keep them safe!" said Davis, turning to his client, who sat weeping into her handkerchief. "Yes." "But for your own benefit you agreed to let them be read?" "Yes, on the advice of counsel." "You are a man, demanded Davis, his head thrust forward. "And a gentleman!" There was a long pause, and when the answer "I try to be," came from reluctant lips, there was a titter in the room. "And yet for your own benefit you were willing to break this sacred promise. And you still consider yourself a man," Davis said with sarcasm. "I can't answer that," said Rhinelander, and there was another little laugh in the room, where people were leaning tensely forward as this interesting close of a dreary day. "You think you are?" "Yes." "Couldn't you have prevented it?" "I didn't have the power," said Rhinelander. "What, didn't have the power in your own lawsuit?" "Yes," he said, becoming somewhat confused under this merciless pounding." "So you were willing to have them use and were powerless to prevent it," and as Rhinelander almost whispered "Yes." Justice Morschauer adjourned. It was a welcome relief for him, for he got up out of the witness chair as it it had been hot and, domishing his bat and coat, quickly left the room. MORE OF THE LETTERS. There were no unpleasant details omitted from the letters of Alice Rhinelander to her husband, written in the diary before they were married. Her complaints about the life she lived, her relation of what had occurred with another man before she met Rhinelander, the consequences of the episode at the Hotel Marie Antinelle—all these things were spread out in the concluding misive of the cruelty xmwy Mills has spread upon the record. She wanted coats and automobiles and rings and a separate apartment. I suppose, dear, you are right about the car question," one of her letters read, "and I will take your darling word for it, because you have never lead me wrong. You always have told me the truth, so I shall forget about buying a car." "Darling, when I read your letter, this morning, I could of burned up, the frill what went through my body.

Because I want you to trust me, and other men." "Darling, I can't really tell you, how happy you have made me today, telling me in the letter about a car for a wedding present." One of her "poems" was not quite as successful as some of the others have been. She said: "I had a hard time to put it together, but tryed hard enough." One of the interesting things about her verses 12 that she uses phrases in which the words are spelled right and which contain words which she never used in her letters, as if she had taken phrases from other CANDY-CAN Special wholesale prices and Societies.

Y. to get my ring. And on the train, I did I have, a deep thought in my mind thinking about you. Well dearest, I went after my ring and it were finished. And I asked the man to put it on my finger please, and asked him, what he thought of, the looks of it, but he could not help, and it made up a beauty, which it is. I thought the price was high, but he said, I have a real diamond, platinum ring, on my finger. So when I padded him, I thanked him, and were pleased with the ring, and I put it on the finger, you asked me, and I said to my self now, I can't be anybody now. I will after be true to Len, now and always. And how I thought of you coming home in the train. Lots of people in the train, I took notice, how they admired the ring on my face, because I had got my ruby back again, and I had on the diamond and looked very attractive looking together. For myself, they look, very good looking on my hand. But darling I have won you, haven't I dearest—I always, told you Len dear, I wanted you. I could not see who the both of us couldn't be one, and were going to aren't we dearest. I just love you to death. When you arrive home, but always let me no when you are coming. Don't surprise me, but cause it will be much of a surprise, and it might be a heavy shock on me, because its been so long since I have held your dear sweet warm hand, what I always adored. But the end of next week this time, will almost be 31st of March. And dearest think of me because it was a sad night when leaving me, to think of it dear deep in your mind, because I thought I could never been without you this long.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA were things he wanted to forget but Mr. Davis would not let him. He equipped and drank huge quantities of water; he stammered more than ever and at water; passage in lieu of prohibition enforced times just refused to answer and stared dumb and absented at the缸 before him. He told the attendant to tell him of the early unattended lids with oil on which he unmistakably told the Huskard Mack Antioctine how a woman called He said he was innocent but knew where he was going, that he planned deliberately to prove a "sex urge" in Alice Jones long before he planned to marry her. But there also were moments of humor. In fact, Mr. Davis with the skill of a playwright lightened his dramatic moments with rare touches of Rabelaisian comedy. He made member after member of the Jones family stand up so that their dark color might be seen, and demanded how it could be possible that Rhinelander did not suspect his wife had colored blood. He rolled over his tongue the Southern phrase "strutting palettes" to which Alice Jones had gone and Rhinelander had referred to in his letters, and after wringing from him an admission that he knew the girl was a chamberaid, asked how it was that he had invited her to his sister's wedding, a social affair of some importance. GETS MANY ADMISSIONS. Mr. Davis got Rhinelander to admit that he had suggested an apartment in New York to the girl, instead of her suggesting it to him, that he had pursued her; that there was deception on both sides. "I didn't want to bring filth into this case, but you must admit that there is no longer room for modesty here" said Mr. Davis, and young Rhinelander concurred and drank more water. He must have consumed several quarers during the day. His eyes gleamed brilliantly behind his glasses, but his face remained as fixed as the face of a poker player and only his movements and his long periods of silence shew the tumult which must have been in his urine. Once there was a welcome interruption by pure comedy when Al Jackson, the star of "Big Boy," took the witness stand to deny that he had ever seen Alice Rhinelander or talked with her, as she had written in one of her letters. He was told that the newspaper headlines would be different as the result of his tittimony. "My God, I hope so," he exclaimed fervently. "My wife won't speak to me any more.
