In the flight she heard him say: “My God! my Godt I am shot.” She then ran down the stairs to meet him coming up and afterwards Immediately ran to the front door, shouting for help, she said. “I thought you said you dared not to out or raise an alarm for some tours,- commented Houck.

At the first moment I ran to the door shouting for help." “Did you open the front door?” "No." Mrs. Phillips then went on to say that after the arrival of the doctor she saw a strange man below In the street. Then came the phase of testimony which Houck regards aa particularly significant In the light of the testimony of little Ethel. ’When you went down stairs Imme diately after tha (hooting, Mrs. Phil lips," said Houck, "did you obeerve the door on the stairs landing leading to the room on the right?" 1 did. It was against that door that Mr. Phillips was leaning, part way up the stairs.” •Was that door open or shut?" •It was wide open.” "Could anyone have fired a shot from the room beyond at Mr. Phillips?” "Easily." , "Mrs. Phillips, I will ask you If you and Mr. Phillips had had any quarrel?" "We had not.” Charges "Bulldozing.” "We will now examine Ethel,” an nounced Houck. "You may step Into adjoining room. Mrs. Phillips.” ‘Why ran not I stay here while you question her?” was asked. "Go Into the other room and close the door,” said Houck. You will bulldoze the child and frighten her to death till she Is too con fused to know what she Is saying. You are trying to bully me. I knew you would. I have had nothing to conceal and have told you all l know. I have wanted to answer your questions.” You can’t miss satisfaction if you come here for the boys’ clothes.
