Miss Audenried's Rings.

In the Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bng-
BAN, the trial of Henry H. Tucker alias W. s..
Scott, charged with obtaining three rings and
$3.50 from Miss Helena Audenried by false
pretenses Che engaged her to sing in an opera
troupe), was continued after The Stars report
closed yesterday afternoon. Detective Block
testified to the arrest of Tucker and to CONVEX
sations with the prisoner, in which he admitted
writing the advertisements for women to sing
in opera. Tucker went with witness and re-
covered three of Miss Audenrieds rings-one
from a colored woman In the Division.
Tucker took the stand and stated that he WAS
q printer, but had been in the amusement bust
ness. He admitted inserting the advertisement
for girls for an opera company and to meeting
Miss Audenried. He claimed that he told her
of the disadvantages she would have to encoun.
ter, when she told him that she knew what to
expect, having been with the Carleton troupe.
He admitted getting the rings and money from
her, but said it was as security for Costumes.
He met her at the depot and gave her the card
marked "P. o. r., Theatrical" with directions
to go to the Maltby House. Baltimore, where
he would meet her. That evening he went to
that house, but failed to find her and left her
q note stating that the engagement could not
be carried out, but that he would try and get
her another place. He kept the jeweiry two or
three weeks, expecting to return it, but did not
see her till he was arrested.
After he had been cross-examined the trial
went over till Monday.

a Cable Car Suggestion.

To the Editor of The EvENING STAR:
Permit me, through the columns Of your pa
per. TO urge upon Mr.. Hurt, the president of
the caDle road on 9TH street, the vital import
ance OF having a man constantly on the plat
form Of the front car of each train to prevent
accidents TO children and others whose hearing
or eyesight may be impaired. The man in
charge Of the grip is stationed too far back in
the car to see persons crossing the street i'm
medIateiy IN front Of the cars and his mind is
too much occupied in attending TO the grip to
expect him to do anything more. Besides, his
view Is Obstructed by the heads of persons in
the seats IN front of him and often by persons
standing IN the and on the platform. 1t
goes without saving that the running of cars
through a crowded street at a speed of eight
nine miles an hour without any one on the
lookout III front Will lead to many and serious
accidents. PRECAUIIoN.
