Ainolu interrupted—Your'honor, I

Judge Roan—He can’t ask him

Dorsey—Y r our honor, I am not four-
flushing a bit. I am going to pre
sent a witness to prove these charges.

all lies. If this matter comes up again
1 am going to make a motion for a
new trial.”

when I present the witness.”

writing the notes—how long did it

ance just as Jim Conlev rein»«»-i it? -
A. Eighteen and one-half minutes.
Q. How fast did you do it?—A. As
fast as we could.
Q. Including the time the negro
said he was in the wardrobe and al

notes, how long did It take?—A.
Thirty-six and one-half minutes.
Hooper took the witness on cross-

Q. Did you read this paper while
you were making the experiments?—
A. No, Mr. Hass did. I held the
watch. Mr. Hass w’ould read each
movement that Conley said he made
and then we would carry ltout in de
tail.
Q. He had to give specific direc
tions and then the act would be
done?—A. Yes, most of the time.
Sometimes directions would be an
ticipated.
Q. That is just what I wanted to
know. Now, if the man who > » •>-
ing this originally was doing it right
along without any directions, couldn’t
he have don** it much quicker?—A.
Possibly. I don’t think there would
have been much difference, though.
Re-enacted Movements
As Fast as They Could.
Q. Did you have the man who was
doing this get excited?—A. No. we
just went through the movements as
fast as we could.

carry, were there?—A. The sack
107 pounds.
Q. Did you see it weighed?—A. No.
Q. I understood you to say awhile
ago that there were several points
where you lost time?—A. I was go
ing to explain that a little later.
There were one or two places where
I told them they were losing time,
but they said it nil belonged that
way, according to the negro’s state
ment.
Q. "bat Is this spot right here?
(Pointing out a spot on the Rert
Green diagram.)—A. Where the body
was found. Grant, who was going
through the actions of Conley, car
ried rhe sach back from here* (indi
cating another 'point.)
Q- ^’ ow ’ did you say they dragged
the body?—A. They dragged the sack
from the elevator.
Q Where did you get the idea of
dragging?—A. I don’t know They
just dragged it.
Q Did you notice the effect of

Q. What kind of earth it
drawn over?—A. Just the plain earth
found in the basement.

Of Diplomatic Error

Mexico that there is necessity of
careful consultations beforehand.”

slit skirt, the tango and turkey trot

set taboo with Miss Ruth S. Denis,
the danseuse.

be just the r lght figure. No one could
tango in that kind of corset now, and

E. Dunbar announces that he will
bring action before Judge Henry C.
Hammond, of the Richmond Superior
Court, for the recovery of the Zachry
children.
By a decision of the Supreme Court
yesterday Judge Hammond must hear
the evidence in the case. The entire
matter is, therefore, reopened, and
Dunbar believes that he will recover
the children on his next attempt.
Ordinary Walton heard the case at
first, and he decided that Zachry
should have the custody of the chil
dren. Subsequently divorce proceed
ings were brought by Dunbar for Mrs.
Zachry, and he asked Judge Ham
mond to hear the case and decide
whether the father or the mother
should have the custody of the chil
dren.
Judge iWmmond declined on the
ground that Ordinary Walton had al
ready decided the matter. Dunbar
reminded him that at the time the
matter was heard before Walton di
vorce proceedings had not been insti
tuted.
Hammond said it made no differ
ence and that he had no right to hear
it. The Supreme C.ourt has ruled that
he had and has the right.
