May 23—With the jurors and many of the spectators in ‘tears, Gracé Lusk brought to a dra- matic conclusion late today the story of her life almost up until the slay- ing of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts for which she now is on trial. Swaying in the witness chalr at times as if on the verge of collapse, often lowering her voice until it was almost inaudible, she denied that she had ever pursued Dr. David Roberts and charged that he, first appealing for her help in the preparation of a book, finally won her sympathy by telling of his unhappy home life. Waukesha, TIls. T had decided that the situation t to be straightened out” she continued, “and that if Dr. Roberts did not care for me I would take my’ own life. “1 told him how sincere T had been in my affection, how I would not have had allowed it to start if he had not assured me that Mrs. Rob- erts did not care for him. Things now were beyond my control. My rep- utation was gone and my life ruined. Mrs. Roberts also was hopelessly wronged. If this had been a game on his part and if 1 have been so sim- ple as not to have understood it, T would take the consequences.” At many points she contradicted the story told by Dr. Roberts, on the stand. Miss L tomorrow. will continue her story . Tin in Virginia. The United States is almost entirely dependent on foreign countries for its supply of tin. As this metal is a war time necessity, and as a domestic source of supply is urgently necded, all known deposits of tin ore (cassi- terite) in the United States have re- cently been examined,hy gzeologists of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. One of the most promisinz of these deposits is in the Irish Creek district, in the | eastern part of Rockbridge County, Va. near the summit of the Blue Ridge. This deposit was recently ex- amined by H. G. Ferguson, of the Tnited States Geological Survey, which in_ this research is acting in coopera- tion with the Virginia Geological Sur- vey. Mr. Ferguson's report has been published as_ Bulletin XV-A of the Virginia_Geological Survey The existence of tin ore in the’ Irish Creejs district has been known for many years, and between 1583 and 1893 the deposit there was actively iined. The mining company, how- ever, hecame involved in litigation' as to land_titlesand abandoned work in 1893, Work on the deposit was never resumed, and the old workings are now caved and heavily- overgrown with brush, so that a_thorough exam- ination of them is difficult, but what Mr. Ferguson saw in the field and the information he derived from old re- ports led him to conclude that the de- posits along the Blue Ridge in this vicinity are some promise as a source of tin, both through. the systematic working of the known veins and the possible discovery of other deposits. The cassiterite occurs in quartz veins that cut a granite rock of pe- culiar appearance known as a hypers- thene granadiorite. The veins do not continue for long distances and their content of tin is probably very irreg- ular from place to place. Some high- grade ore was fourid, however, and scme tungsten ore occurs with t cassiterite.- It is believed that the dis- trict is worthy 'of further investigd- tion. in | Right on Their Toes.
