The DE Hughes Case Again i'm Court.


MRS. KATE SMITHS FRIEND ASKS POSTPONE
MENT OF HIS TRIAL FOR TWO WEEKS.
In the Criminal Court yesterday. Marion
De Hughes, with several aliases, indicted in two
cases of obtaining money by false pretenses from
Mrs. Kate Smith, was called. He came
into court neatly attred in black
suit. He was quite pale. He took
a seat with his counsel. Mr.. Campbell Car
rington, and the latter asked postponement
ON the ground that defendants child was
sick. and he was in no condition of mind
to enter on the trial and ON the ground of the
absense of material witnesses for his defense.
An affidavit was prepared by the counsel and
signed under the name of Newman
and presented to the court He sets
forth that he has stated his case to
his counsel and has been advised that he has
a good defense that material facts can be
proved by Agnes NJ. Boyd and Dr. Boyd of
Harrisburg. Pa. showing that the child referred
to in the dispatch died there Oct. 19. He further
states that he has endeavored to secure bail SO
as to look up his witnesses.
The court said ne would grant reasonable
postponement. and suggested that counsel con-
fer to selecting day for trial.
Mr.. LIpsconIb remarked that on Saturday he
would move that the bail Isl 900 in each case
be increased. and he would then make known
his reasons.
Mr. Darlington gave notice that he would on
that day ask a reduction of the bail, which he
considered too large.
The matter was dropped.

Apparent
Appar
Population pop.

In 1920, he says, the proportion of the popu-
lation of the two cities to the population Of
the state was less than one-tenth, while in 1880
it was more than one-third. and taking the last
presidential vote as basis. the present popula-
ton is about two-fifths of the population of the
whole state. A computation of the figures he
presents gives the astounding result of $780,,
900 population in New York in 1920, and of
1920, 900 in Brooklyn, but he thinks that the
excess of residence area in and about Brooklyn
must continue to tell in its favor as compared
with New York.

The Police Sale.

RAZoRs, PISTOLS AND OTHER INTERESTING AR
TIcLEs TO BE SOLD.
At the annual sale of confiscated, I'M
claimed and abandoned property in the
hands of the police, nearly bushel of raz ors
knives and pistols taken from prisoners will be
disposed of. Some of these articles have been
used in deadly assaults or murders. Others
were used by persons who took their own lives.
Many of the weapons were taken from persons
arrested on slight charges, but who were I'M
fortunate enough to have a weapon on them at
the time. The"guns," as they are called. range
from the deadly toy pistol to the bull dog re-
vOlver. Such weapons are often purchased
at these sales by persons of the class from
whom they were taken. and i'll some instances
the same weapon has been taken from the same
person more than once. The other property
includes old rubbish of every kind. There are
umbrellas. canes trunks, and clothing. Then
there are some marbles which were probably
taken from some boy, and number of "bones"

The Story of Robin Redbreast.

At the Anthropological society. last night
DIR. Robert Fletcher read a paper on the Myths
of Robin Readbreast in Early English Poetry"
From early dates, he said, this bird has been
regarded distinctively the friend of man,
and in the story of the Babes in the Woods the
legend is told of the robin covering the bodies
of persons with moss and leaves Hence in
England the voice of the re6breast in winter
is regarded as an omen of good fortune, from
which idea came his name of robin, which was
early applied to household fairies Springing
from this is q superstition that to kill robin,
or to rob its nest. is unlucky. Many legends
and poetic stories have been related to account
for the origin of the redbreast of the robin.
Among the WEIGH poets there is legend that
the red stain came from the blood of Christ
when the bird was endeavoring to draw a
thorn from the forehead of the crucified Saviour
