J. Trabucco announced that by agreemen: each side would be limit- ed to three hours for argument, with the State opening and closing. The taking of testimony ended in a hush of suspense thrown over the cour Toom as Mr. Parker took the stand. One Jong hard stare was directed by the grief-burdened father upon the slayer of his child. Identifies Youth. Hickman, slumped and motionless in his chair, looked down at the counsel table before him. The father's testimony was chiefly that of identification of ransom letters and telegrams he received from the kid- naper. He related briefly his pre-ar- ranged meeting with Hickman and his turning over of $1,500 at “gun_ point” in payment for Marion's lifeless body. The jury is expected to get the case tomorrow. With the opening of the final scencs §t was disclosed that virtually none of the principals in tne trial drama had escaped the attentions of writers of “crank” letters, the latest of which was sent to tie itself. Members. hov ever. were Kept fgnorant of the letter, which threatened to “blow the whole unch up” if Hickman was not held “responsible” for the schoolgirl's murder.

It ‘was declared the work of some unbai- anced person-—a type also blamed for threatening letters received in numbers by Judge Trabuc Asa Keves and his aides. as well as the members of the defense counsel.

The admission of a copy of that eration, titled by its voung author *Solution of Crime.” had been barred viously on a prosecution objection at it was “tommyrot.” The Hick- man document was dismissed by other Btate alienists as the plea of a man *at the end of his rope.” Dr. Orbison was asked to examine it to determine whether it contained any evidence of insanity. The alienist labeled “merely a sophomoric essay on_crime " Dr. Edward H. Williams, the last of the prosecution allenists to testifv. declared that Hickman was “obviously feigning insanity” and making “a bum exhibition of it.” As the experts completed their testi- mony. ordinary folk received a chance to give their opinions.

By Cabla to The Star and New Vork Times | PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, February 8. —There are two difficulties in a flight of this kind. One of them is to find a way of expressing the appreciation and gratitude one feels for the kindness and hospitality shown everywhere. B The other is to have to limit one’s visit necessarily in such a brief stay in | | cach country when each has so much | to attract the visitor. Iam having both ' | these difficulties in Haitl, | | There are, for instance, the Haitlan | Order of Merit President Borno con- | ferred on me Monday, a plece from the anchor of the Columbus caravel, Santa | Marin, the Haitian stamps presented to | me and all the other marks of friendii- | ness attending my visit. Change of Language Striking. One thing that struck me most in| Haiti is the change from Spanish to French. This is the first republic I} | have visited on this tour where Spanish | has not been spoken. It is the only re- public in the two Americas for that | matter, where the language is French However, here, as in all other countries in Latin America where I have stopped | many people speak English, too. | "My first visit yesterday was a call | |at the President’s palace. a great white edifice of pleasing architecture, set in a park. around which the chief public | buildings of the Haitian capltal are sit- uated. ~ From there I went to the Hotel de Ville, another attractive new build- ing. from which there is a good view of the harbor and bay and Port au Prince. There I was made an honorary citizen of Port au Prince. The reception committee next took m: on an automobile tour through some |parts of the city and the outlying dis- |tricts, which 1 had not seen before After passing fields thick with sugar cane we stopped to visit Damien Agri- cultural College, a short distance north of the capital. It .was built a few years ago, and work has already been started on a wing to the main building. more than |doubling its capacity. Many young Haitiens are being trained here in the | methods of modern agriculture. Cotton Grows on Trees. I went through part of the experi- | I mental farm connected with the school and saw flelds of sugar cane and sweet potatoes and groves and banana trees, | One thing which struck me was that | the type of cotton there was quite dif- ferent to what I have been accustomed to seeing in the United States. Instead | of bushes, it grows on trees 8 to 10 feet high and does not require planting each year. In fact. I am told that it grows | luxurfantly and even often wild in | | Haiti and produces a very good grade of | cotton. | Many other tropical plants are also | being grown and work is being done to | improve the live stock.
