Bastlake, chief petty officer United States Navy, was completed shortly 'after opening of court.in the' trial of Miss Sarsh E. Knox, charged with the murer of Mrs. Margaret L. Eastlake, here today. After several questions had. been asked in - redirect examination Watt T. Mayo, commonwealth's at- torney, the witness was excused. He was ordered, however, to keep him- self in readiness subject'to & call. Police Chief's Statement, Silas D. Perry, chief- of police of Frederickshurg, then took the stand. The officer testified to inspecting the house and surroundings_where - the murder was committed. He gave fig-. ures detailing different measuremeénts of the porch, boardwalk, etc. Chief Perry said the distance from the Eastlake home to the wharf, where Eastlake boarded the boat, was 997 yards, This evidence was introduced to- show how long 4t took Eastlake to walk from his hom® to the boat. The witness sald it had taken him eleven minutes to cover the distance. Chief Perry then testified as to the time it took W. W.

The thanks and blessings of France were corferred on the American wom- en who served during the world war by Ambassador Jusserand of .France last night at the meeting of the sec- ond national convention of the league. He paid a high tribute to the valof| of the American women on the bat- tlefields of Europe during, the war. At one point in hig address Amba's- sador Jusserand said that he had not seen “the bolshevikl at such close range as they may be seen today in Italy Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, told of the work done by the 600,000 Englishwomen who served as ompetent units” of the British forces, and asserted that the British government had found wom- en to be quite as capable as men in performing certain work which in the past it had been Assumed men only could do. He pleaded that the great army of woman war veterans devote thelr time and energles in the future to the conquering of disease which constituted menace to humanity.” Greeted as Comr: Gen. Pershing greeted the convention members as ‘“comrades of the world war,” which provoked loud cheers. He said he wae asked shortly after his ar- rival in France if he wanted women, and what kind of women, to aid in the prosecution of the war. “I replied,” he said, “that we wanted the best looking ones obtainable.” The courage, endurance and patience of the women who “fought behind the trenches, in the hospitals and spread confidence throughout the expeditionary forces” made possible, Gen. -Pershing said, the victory of American arms. Mrs. Oswald Chew, national president of the league, urged that Congress should grant a national charter to the league, and Representative Graham supported her contention. The Countess Helene Goblet d'Alviella of Belgium, Miss Mabel T. Boardman of the Amer- ican Red Cross and Miss Dorothy Don- nelly also spoke. OPERA STAR SETTLES - SIMPLIFIESPAYING. MARITAL’DIFFERENCES ] attorney eight minutes by the watch. Other Witnésses Examined. Mrs. Helen Miller of Colonial Beach was the next witness called. She said she had always found the Eastlakes on good terms. Miss Grace .S. Ashton of Colonial Beach was next on the stand and tes- tified to the relations she had always noticed between the Eastlakes. Wil- liam Carruthers of Colonial Beach tollowed Miss Ashton. He was called to identify a blood stained hat said to have been found on the body of the murdered woman. This hat bears the trade mark of a Baltimore firm and has the letters J. P. W. in the band. Eastlake had testified pgeviously he had never seen it before. Proseeution to Rest Today. It is expected that the prosecution will rest its case today. Witnesses for the defense are arriving at Colo- nial Beach and Montross hourly. Throughout the entire late session of court yesterday counsel for the de- fense subjected Eastlake to a gruel- ing cross-fire of questions. After drawing a statément from the witness that his relations with Miss Knox had ceased at the end of the year 1920, and from then on _their friendship was purely platonic, Harry M. Smith, chief counsel for the de- fense, produced letters written by the petty officer to the nurse dating as late in 1921 as Apri and Mnfiy;. . H. C.

By the Associzted Press. & NEW YORK, May 2.—The society of Tammany last night in a special mecting adopted resolutions expreser ing regret at the demise of Richard Croker, former Tammany chief, who [died last Saturday at his home, Glen- cairn Castle, Ireland. Messages of condolence from the society and from individual mémbers and old-time as- sociates of Mr. Croker were cabled to the ‘widow. The national Democratio Club also, by resolution, expressed regret- at .the loss to New -York democracy of the former Tammany deader. 5 Richard Croker gave all his prop- erty, both in Ireland and America his Indian bride in order to prevent: a will cofitest and thus brought on the court actions in Florida to have the former Tammany chief declarea incompetent and his estate and affairs placed in the hands of Richard Cro- ker, according to Frederick R.

I have heard nothing of a will of Mr. Croker and would be very much surprised if he had made one, &3 he had nothing to leave to any one.” The Croker property in Fiorida, Mr. Ryan said, -was held by Mr. Croker and his wife in joint tenancy, but the husband’s half passed automatically t0 ‘his widow ‘at his death. If the Flgrida supreme court, whose deci- sion is expected soon, should declare Mr..

The majority of families have oni such quantities of food as us: found In farming communities at th season, and with the prospects of the parish continuing to be inundated for weeks, suffering is certain unless relief a gements are speedily per- focted. The people of the flood zone are re- luctant to leave, because they wish to fart planting operations at the earliest poszible time after the flood waters r cede. A survey to determine the num- ber Who remain in their homes will be made at once. In some instances it is reported that residents of Concordia who have been compelled to place their belongings on hurriedly comstructed rafts are suffering greatly from the exposure to the weather. ‘With the strain on the levees in a large measure relieved above the crev- asse, flood-fighting forces have been re- duced. No serious trouble has been re- officlals ported by for three days. RACECONVENTION " OPENSTONORRDW Important Problems to Come Before Negro Copgress at Session Here.
