Evidence in the Trial of
PennsY's Assistant Cash
Ter Strengthens the
Defense.

The trial OF Alexander s. Let's for EN-
bezzling 1928. S66.63 from the Pennsyl-
vania Railr Dad Company was adjourned
yesterday afternoon until Monday. Dur
ing the afternoon the evidence produced
BY the State was not at all encouraging
for the prosecution, and the cross-ex.
animation Of witnesses by the defence
materially strengthened their case.
john Watson, settlement clerk, WHIT
had charge of the Long Island Railroad
accounts last year. testified as to the
methods OF bookkeeping pursued theirs
by the company, and admitted on cross
examination that changes in this method
had been made since the alleged pecu-
lattons of Let's were discovered.
WANTED HIM TO LIE.
He further said sha5 Scott jackson, a
clerk who was discharged by the company
when Let's went away, had said to him
tefore the shortages were discovered,
that he (Jackson) was going on his vaca-
ton. be asked witness to do him a
favor. He sail that il Let's should ask
W atson TO lie about the accounts to do so,
and TO tell y story that jackson s~oulq
prepare. Watson refused to do this and
Jackson walked away.
During all the trial the prosecute on has
e~ndeavored to show that Let's had made
a number of fraudulent manifests which
purported to have been received by him
from agents along the road, and that he
had put them in his accounts to cover up
deficiencies. In order to prove this claim
the State ~suppRnaed a, number of agents
from whose Offices the fraudulent mani
tests We're supposed to have been issued.
These cgents were all on hand
yesterday. They were H. w. Freeman
of Rocky Hill. William H. Gibbs OF
Lampertville. John Sheldon of Lenni,
Pa, u john Ware OF New Brunswick.
Each Que Of the agents had the letter
press books in which copies of their mani
tests are always kept. aud it was the In
tention of the prosecution to show by
these letter press books that the so-called
fraudulent ma1ifests had never been sent
by the agents. This would be shown by
the fact Thai copies OF the manifests were
not in the letter press books.
STATES EVIDENCE RULED OUT
When Prosecutor Winfield attempted
to introduce the letter press copies of
original matter, Counsellor Block OBJ
jected en- the ground that the State
should produce the best evidence, and
that therefore the original mapifests
and not the copies should be produced.
Judge Hudspeth sustained the objection,
Notwithstanding that Prosecutor Win.
field asserted that, inasmuch as the
agents had never made the original man
ifests. which were claimed to be fraud
ulent, they could not produce them. He
did not expect to produce copies Of the
fraudulent manlfests, but wanted to
show by the books that they did not ex-
ist. The Court refused to admit the evil
dence, but said the agents could testify
from memory. This. the Prosecutor
said, would be impossible, because the
number was too great.

Next to these pretty basques in favor, If
lot before them, are the pretty jackets
with their various arrangements of fronts,
of which / have spoken before, but recently
there has been al unusually large demand
for plain chemisettes. These are very ressy
ind neat and can be worn with any waist
by turning in the edges Y shaped as high
or low as one wishes to. The ties can be of
white satin, linen, percale, withneat figures,
or white pique to tie like q four-in-hand.
The chemisettes are of white linen, duck
pique OF striped percale. The pure white
looks the best. When these chemisettes
are worn, they should have cuffs to match.
These are to be classed among the little
sdjuncts to a lady's toilet, and, as Babsays,
one is obliged to be clean in them, and alb
solute neatness is a style in itself that is
thoroughly attractive. I knew a lady who
made it a rule to always wear a white linen
collar and cuffs with every dress, whether
calico or velvet. They were spotless and
always worn as if they had grown on her,
and somehow she appeared to have a GER
tain distinction in them or from them, and
she was pleasant to look at.
There is something attractive about a
vest or shirt front as adapted to women's
requirements that no plain. simple woman's
style can give. Witness a gown Of gray
henrietta laid in accordion plaits from belt
to foot as to skirt and with a short jacket
waist, turning back in front in wide lapels
and fat rolling collar faced with dark gray
striped velvet. There are a short vest of
gray faille with six buttons. and a shirt
front of white linen with a high turn down
collar and a teck scarf of white. The
sleeves are gigot. The parasol is pink, with
white lace. The bonnet is a saucer of
gray and white straw, with a little twist of
null, and a pond lily nods on top of it in
company with two buds. Altogether it
would be difficult to find a neater or more
attractive suit.
Accordion plating is very popular. par
ticularly for young ladies, as it lends a
grace to every movement as the folds break

that afforded by the natural folds; others
