one of the little girls, on one occasion, say
to another, Let's go around to Mr.. Tai
colts and make little change"
Mrs. Edwards and Robert l.. Russell GER
titled as to Mr.. Talcott's good character
His place is a playground for the children
of the neighborhood.
Charles w. Slater and Samuel Hanlein
were called to state their knowledge of the
reputation of Roy Garrison, the govern
ment witness, for truth and veracity. Both
witnesses stated with great emphasis that
they would not believe Garrison under
oath
Mr.. Crosby S. Noyes, called in behalf of
the defense, stated that he has been ac-
quainted with Mr.. Talcott for years, and
him. The testimony of Mr.. w. H. Barstow
was in effect the same as that of Mr.
Nayes.
The Defendant.
After several other witnesses had testi-
fed as to character. the defendant took the
stand. After stating his name and age
Mr.. Talcott calmly proceeded to describe
the surroundings of his residence on l.
street southeast His place was at all
times open to children, or, in fact, to any
one
Are you fond OF childreng' asked At
tcrney Darlington.
All my life 1 have been a fool over chill
dren, was the answer Il can't pass an
Infant without taking it In my arms"
NOW tell us, asked the attorney, lis
there any truth in these charg,s?"
Then followed one of the most pathetic
scenes that has been witnessed in the Po-
lice Court for a long time.
My God. no, SIR" shouted the old man
bursting into tears as his trembling hands
clung about his withered forehead. NV
God, no. sir" he repeated, quivering with
emotion.
Did you place your hands on them?"
Mr.. Darlington asked.
'YeS. sir. the same I wou1d nm a l,;,tan
In playing with it," was the answer.
Did you have any thought of injuring
them?" was the next query.
Again Mr.. Talcott broke down completely
How could I?'' he said, again breaking
into tears. "Oh. how could I?'
Several other times Mr.. Talcott gave way
to feelings. He denied as positively as lay
in his power committing the assault and
then went on to charge the boys who have
figured in the case with blackmailing him.
1t would be a physical impossibility, he
said, for him to commit the assault.
Mr.. Talcott was still testifying when The
Stars report closed.

company were, however, equal to the work
of rescue. and quickly removed the unfor-
tunates from the debris. The ladies faint

were more or less bruised by the fall, which
vas about twelve feet but none were SO
badly hurt as to incapacitate them for

to the manner in which he had received
a peculiar scar, which extends from
