EPISODE IX. «Mr. Williams, how long did you re- main in the banquet-room of the Ho- tel Republic on the night that Miss Page was sent for by David Pollock? “Why, I was there from the begi ning of the affair till just hefore wo heard the sound of the shot.” “Did all the other guests remain ex- cept Miss Page? “Yes. That Daniel “0 When?” “A few minutes after Miss Page had gone. He said he was going to sce where she was, and would try to bring her back again.” “How long after his departurs you remain?” “Oh, just long enough to drink a toast. Then I decided that I'd go home because T was pretry much all in, and it seemed obvious that Miss Page was not coming back.” “Where were you whan the shot?" “Just outside the door of the ban- | quet-room.’” “What did vou d “I ran down the hall in the direc- tion from which the sound came.” “Did you meet anyvone " “Yes. T ran bang into Daniels at | the corner where the corridor turiae T nearly upset him, I gzuess, for he caught at my arm and held on as if to steady himself.” “Did vou say anything?” “Yes. I said, ‘Did von hear shot? Somebody’s killed.” Daniels said, ‘Oh, my God! “Did he seem very much excited? “Yes and sick. He was almost green, and he kept sayine. ‘God—God —T must pull myself tocether.’ But for that matter we ‘wera all pretty | much upset, and when we got to the | door of—of—the gray suite he wasn't | any more excited than the rest of us.” | “That is all, thank yoa, Mr. Wil- liams.” said Tangdon: bat while the | words were still on his lips the prose- | cutor was on his feet, not to gues- | tion the witness but to make another eloquent plea to the Judse. | “T petition the Court,” ha cried in | ringing tones, ‘“to have all the fore- | going testimony, together with that | of the detective Bremnnan and the boj Joe Murphy, stricken out as irrelevant. | All this is wasting the time of your honor and the gentlemen of the jury. It is not what this man Daniels dia but what Mary Page did on the nizht *hat David Pollock was brutaliy mur- dered with which we are concerned. | The State has proved lhat this wom- an, Mary Page, enterel the room where David Pollock awailed her. That a shot and a scream came from that room, and that the defendant was found in the room with tiie dead bol And T ask vou gentlemen as reason- able men, if it is possible—or prob- able—that anvone could have entered that room and shot Davil Pollock without being seen by tha defendant: everybody except Mr. Daniels left, did he? did vou heard o a Ane 1 know | Pwill lh:m!ols does not prove the defendant innocent.” “No your Honor,” answered Lans- don, with a quick, confident smile. “But I shall prove that, too, before I have finished.” (To be continued.) GENUINE AIRSHIP IN HEADLINE ATTRACTION TLov of the novelty in vaudeville attractions will find much that will appeal to them in the act of Gardiner and company, which is one of the leading features of this week’s pro- gram at Keeney’s. “Over and Under” the title of the production. It is descriptive of a trip through the clouds in an aeroplane from whence the passengers are treated to a visit in the caravans under the sea, eventu- |«lly returning to earth through a torpedo tube. The transition is ac- complished with some clever me- chanical contrivances and is pre- sqxl((‘(l in entertaining fashion. In ad- dition to its spectacular features the act has some good singing and dancing and a snappy dialogue. On the whole it is better than the aver- 2ge and the patrons have enjoved it greatly. None the pleasing is the musi- specialty of Couch and Lar These people play both popular classical melodi on the banj troducing spectacular scenic ecffects | for a finish, Dancing finds Tierney and clever exponents in company. who are also prominent among the performers Wwho are to close their New Britain engagements tonight They have a classy act and it deserves the praise given by the patrons. Topping the photoplay bill tonight be Dustin Farnum in “The Gen- ileman From Indiana.” This big film made a distinct impression last even- ing and it should attract another large crowd tonight. HORSES RUN AWAY, DRIVER ARRESTED Violated City Ordinance by Fail- ing to Hitch Team M. R. Whipperly, employed by I. Allen Moore at his farm in Kensing- ton, was in police court this morning on a charge of 1 ng a pair of horses unhitched on Main street in violation of a city ordinance. The young man explained that he has been in this city less than two weeks, coming Ther from Vermont, and was unfamiliar with local conditions. e further- more said that one of the horses is too high strung to permit hitching. Judge John H. Kirkham suspended judg- ment. Whipperly's arrest came as a result of an exciting runaway which oc- cured on Main street about 4 o'clock vesterday. He entered the National It is THAT, I take it, which my voung colleague s endeavoring to suggest by throwing suspicion upon & man who is | conveniently missing!” i “And I say,” stormed Tangdon in | response, ‘“‘that it was possible—and that Mary Page neither saw nor heara what occurred in the gray suite that | night. And if it please your Honor, | T will call as my next witn Dr. Foster—to testify to the inability c the defendant to understand event that were happening.” “T see no objection to SUCH tesi1- mony,” said the Judge tLoughtfully, adding with a hint of sternness, “but you must remember, sir, tha:t imput- ing knowledge, even suilty of the murder of David Pollock to this man s CHILD GETS SICK CROSS, FEVERISH IF CONSTIPATED Look at tongue!

James Molyneux, a foreman in Stanley Works rolling mill, was in court charged with assaulting an em- ploye, Salvatore Verdi. As it ap- peared that Molyneux was not ent ly at fault he was fined $10 but judg- ment was suspended. At the Stanley Works mill there an agreement with the workmen that all steel cut better than 95 per cent. entitles the work- men to a bonus. Below this standard, the workman is docked.
