still confined to the southeast portion of
the building. though the fire was by no

CHICAGO, Feb. Three women, who

injured on Rock Island train that par.

examined the girl, stuck pins in her
legs and made many other tests, and
decided she was really parslyzed. The
only undecided uestion was how much

Although the doctors pronounced il q
genuine case the railroad company was
incredulous and a detective was en-
ployed. Before the woman had been
watched three days Detective Lawson,
who had charge of the matter. discovered
that the supposed paralytic was running
around the house just like anybody

There was one weak spot in their
scheme. For injuries which might
bring thousands Of dollars in the courts
they were willing to settle for compares

were willing to accept hundreds where

This is explained on the theory that
the conspirators did not wish to be

by Mcdonald at the bank and taken to

saw the seal affixed without the actual

The defense will also attempt to prove
that Dick Mcdonald is mentally unbal-

trained by his stern father, crowded
through the schools and trotted around
Europe until he became an egotistica |
monomsniac. An unhappy marriage
