COMEDY BRIGHTENS UP MURDER TRIAL Defense Finds It Has Met| Tartar When Mrs. Dema- | rest Is Questioned. BY FRANCES NOY b to The Star N. J.. November 6. —For the first time since the trial opened, the mood of the courtroom this morning was keyed to comedy. ‘The air pouring in through the open windows was as sunnv and balmy as Spring. Children’s langhter rose from | the grounds, gay and careless. The hranches of the trees, glimpsed against the hiuewashed sky, looked like black lace. Prosecutor Simpson had donned the most festive of lilac satin ties, and his ~hite shirt and collar were barred | with lilac checks. Senator Case was | brave in gray flannel. Willie Stevens' | tie was a cheerful copper, and Mrs. Mary Demarest mounted the witness stand to continue her cross-examina- tion with almost a prance, in spite of her lameness Mrs. Demarest erous proportion: black and grav. proved extremelv the entire course HART. ial SOMERVILLF is a matron of gen soberly arrayed in | but her conduct enlivening.

Her answers falrly pounced at him, and ler triumphant grimace at the conclusion of a successful bit of fenc- ing on her part w both amazing and diverting. It seemed that only a miracle of self-control kept her from sticking out her tongue at the suave counsel for the defense. She unde- niably winked on more than one oc casion, rorrected the with hoth Senator aceuracy con. and 1 didn't say daisies: 1 said 1 didn't say that 1 was pick 1 said that my little boy dan't that 1 saw Henry Stevens on those grounds. 1 said that 1 thought that it was on the grounds of Mr. John Cavpender.” | Her statement that she recognized | itenry Stevens in New Brunswick on | the morning followirx the murder, | when evens claimed that h. was still in Lavallette, remained unshaken, and she stuck valiantly to her guns as to the fact that she had observed her cousin, Mina (lark, and Ralph Gor- siine twice apparently spying on Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills in Buccleugh Park -although she somewhat neu- tralized tie force of the first occasion by admitting *hat she thought they all might lave heen attending a ves per service at the Parker Home for Incurables fv that vicinity Simpeen Takes Hand. one stage of the game she re No” with such vehemence, in reply to one of Senator Case’s ques tions. that the Senator peremptorily inauired ~hy she used such a tome, and fn a flash Prosecutor Simpson was on his feet, objecting that this | was a purely frivolous question, as it made no difference whatever whether Mrs. Demarest replied to the Sena- tor's question In € minor or ¢ major.

The only ray of significance in either of them was the rather curious reference to “fithel.” The second let ter also established the fact Mrs. Hail by no means the carefree plutocrat that she is frequently wheled-—it en: 1t some length into her financial difficulties. Later in the day Charlotte was to weep bitterly. Cousin Takes Stand. Anna K.

The heavily marked, hed black eyebrows of the Stevens clan gave a characteristic owl-lke cast to her countenance, A murmur of gratification through the courtroom when ex- Trooper Dickman took the stand. It had been very generally rumored that next to Mrs, Gibson he was to prove the State’s star witness, unfolding a | tale of bribery and corruption that would raise the hair on the heads of all true lovers of tice and involve | practically every oune but the Pres-| ident of the United States, About 10 minutes later sound in the courtroom was a col- lective and resounding dropping of | jaws After an examination that | <brought out nothing bevond the fact | that Dickman had asked Henry Stevens if he had an alibi or had ever had a 3¢ or 38 caliber gun, and had founa Mr. Stevens' reply that he had had ooth the guns and the alibi] evasive, the prosecutor abruptly sur-| rendered his star witness for cross- | examination Spectators Disappointed.

They were t00 dazed to do more than smile| feebly when, in reply to a question from Senator Case as to what he was doing now. he replied “Governors Island,” and his explanation that he had deserted from the Army hecause he had been on a 41day drunk was also greeted in stunned silence. Durir the Juncheon recess there was much wugging of heads and tongues— they stopped long enough to read New York specialist's bul jetin stating that. in his opinion, M1s. Gibson would not be able to appear in court for two weeks, and then resumed wagging. The only ex- Dlanation seemed to be that either Dicknian was entirely discredited in the eves of the prosecutor himself. or that the prosecutor feared the effect on a jury to whom the late Azariah Beekman, accused previously by Dickmarn. was well and favorably known. Five n.inutes after the court had re. assembied. the latter illusion, at any vate, was rudely dispelled. In the briefest of brief re-examinations, the prosacutor brought out the bold state- | ment from Dickiman «nat he had ac-| cepted a bribe from Azarlah Beekman | 500 to drop out of the Hall-!

Totten said he has seen it, but did not know what has become of it. The court adjourned afternoon until Monday. < to it was for in the late objects found about the body.

Mrs. Hall never stirred but her face was suddenly gray as Totten unemotionally identified the crumpled panama hat. the blood-stained white collar and tie with its golden clasp, the torn and crumpled coat.

Purpose Is Explained. “The passage of ‘legislation amend- ing the teachers’ retirement law,"” says Dr. Ballou, “represents additional legislation looking toward the im- provement of the teaching service in the District, The purpose of this legis- lation is to provide a more adequate retirement provision for additional em- ployes in the District. This is done by increasing the maximum amount on which the teacher makes her con- tribution to the retirement fund, and by an increase in the amount which of the teachers’ annuity fund. “It is a significant fact worthy of particular mention that this legisla- tion represents the first attempt made to modify the original teachers’ re- tirement " law, which was approved June 15, 1920 in securing the prompt enactment ot this leglslation is undoubtedly largely due to the manner in which the legis- lation was organized and presented to Congress, Names Legislation Committee. he legislation was in charge of the committee on legislation of the Board of Education, of which Mrs. | Willam H.

A group of naval officers gathered for dinner last night at the Army- Navy Club. Nothing unusual in that, but this particular dinner was un- usual because all of the officers pres- ent had served on the staff of Ad miral Charles J. Badger, retired, when he was commander-in-chief of the United States fleet from 1912 to 1914. In 1915 they held a get-to- gether to renew their former associa- tions, and the dinner last night marked the twelfth successive vear in which they have assembled In Washington for a similar reunion. They had as their guest of honor last night their former leader, Ad- miral Badger. The reunion last night was at- tended by the following 12 fnembers {of the admiral's old staff: Admiral Charles F.

UPPER MARLBORO, November 6. —Judges and clerks in’ the first pre- cinct of Seat Pleasant election district, | Prince Georges County, were befora the board of election supervisors here this afternoon to explain the discrep- ancy between the two tally sheets re- turned to the board, one of which Republican. receiving 144 votes and the other showing him to have received 139. At the count Tuesday. the election su pervisors accepted the sheet showing 139 for Small, and the final count showed he had the same vote as hix Democratic opponent, Kent Roberte Mullikin. The Seat Pleasant officlals were unable to agree and wanted the supervisor to split the difference and give each man 142 votes. ('larence M. Roberts, torney to the hoard of election supervisors, advised that this could not be done and that the Seat Pleasant officials had to certify that either the 139 vote or the 144 vote was the correct one; he ad vised that the supervisor had no au thority te recount the ballots, this being a matter for the lLegislature, as under the constitution this body is the dge of the qualifications of fts own members. The board of supervisors will ecertify the secretary of State that both 11 and Mullikin have each, 2 votes The Legislature. being Democratic, the probabilities are that Mullikin will be seated and that Prince Georges will have a solld Dem ocratic delegation of five members The tally sheets were signed by George A.
