We have stirring shipboard scenes, life on

struggles between love and duty, the
patriotic self sacrifice to our country-all
in novel and magnificent stage settings.

WARD AS A PSYCHOLOGIST
Mr Ward wanted to read an extract
from book entitled Myth and Science,
to show the jury how dreams were pre-
iced.
Mr.. Biggs objected. he said it was
not law, and he was not willing that 1t
should g before the jury as authority.
He said thst the writer might be per
feet crank for ali he knew. He &C
knowledged chat works of recognized
medical juri prudence we're frequently
read to juries, out they we're decisions
given by judge Never yet have
lawyers gone to such extremes.
''Can it be-" he said, that
your honors will say that such reading
can be given to jury. 1t will be open
ing the door wider than ii has ever been
opened before.
Wsrd-'It does not go TO them as q
medical authority. it comes from close
observance Of the phenomena Of dreams.
The court sustained the objection, but
allowed him TO give his own experiences.
THE most natural thing In this case
is that dream 1t was the continuation
of his waking thoughts. There was no
blood on the track He did not dream a
fact. The FIRST question he
asked McKegney was have they
found Eddie Gardiner yet. McKegney
was the man who drove Hszsll away
when he committed the indecent assault
upon the two boys. It wss most natural
that he should tell him Of his dream.
"Poor old Tom Hinesley came here with
one foot in the grave to throw suspicion
from his son. The next state witness
was McKegney and he rebuts Hinesley
