said he had been there once before and
tried to sell a mans watch, which.
however. belonged to him. He ad-
mitted telling her he had stolen tie
watch. but a done so because he
thought h would buy quicker. He
also admitted saying he had stolen the
watch In evidence. but for the same
reason. Asked to state wha of Grace
McGinnis' statements were untrue, the
witness said her statement that he had
offered to sell the watch for $40. This
he said was untrue, as he had asked
SIS for the watch.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Connolly. the
witness was asked IL he lac not stated
to Officers Leyden and Murphy that he
had taken the watch from Boyle and
Redman. He said no. but admitted the
two were together when Boyle gave
him the watch.
You say. you would like to know
what time the robbery took place 50
you could prove an alibi?" inquired
Mr.. Connolly. The witness said yes.
and when asked to define what an alibi
meant gave the definition.
"Did you ever prove an alibi?" was
asked.
The witness replied, Eyes, a good

himself. He persisted in saying he
did not know the watch was stolen, but
said he had asked Boyle what a fence
meant, and Boyle had said ii was n
place where stolen property could be
sold without danger of being arrested.

Grice asked IL Redman was in any
way Interested in the watch, and the
witness said Boyle and Redman APP
peared to be in
The defendant Redman was next
called. Asked to state to the court
what connection he had with the watch
transaction, he said he had nothing
whatever to do with 1t. but was I'M
fortunate enough to be in Boyle's and
Mitchers company. He asked Mitch
ell for a dollar he owed him and Mitch
ell replied that Boyle had given him a
watch to sell. and when he sold it he
would pay him. He went with Boyle
and Mitchell to Grace McGinnis'
place and he and Boyle stayed outside
while Mitchell went inside to sell the
watch. When Mitchell was gone a
long time Boyle told the witness to go
in n claim the watch was his and get
1t. He went in and claimed the watch
and learned Mitchell had been arrest
ed. He denied knowing anything about
the watch being stolen. This completed
the taking of testimony.
At this time the case came to a sud
den termination. Counsel waived argu-
ment, n after a consultation between
the attorneys, Mr.. Connolly announced
that he was DESTROYS of saving the
county as much expense as possible, and
as the evidence did not warrant holding
the defendant Redman, he would move
his discharge. He also moved the dis
missal of the case against Mitchell and
filed a complaint for petit larceny
against him. Mitchell pleaded guilty,
and, in view of the action in Redman's
case, Judge Laurandeau let Mitchell off
with a sentence of sixty days in the
county Jail. Mitchell was obviously very
much relieved, as he thought he saw a
term in the penitentiary ahead Of him.

Yet since to France sailed away.
Her letters oft remind me
That promised never to sansay

She says, my own dear love, come home,
My friends are rich and many.

But were it free or to he freed,
The battles close would find me

From the girl left behind me.

Comb IA Bonnet

Some Eastern milliners are Offering
evening bonnets so small that they are
nearly curios. Except for the aigrette
or the wired upright bow. they would
be quite so. One style of after-1inner

quoise-blue velvet. fastened to an orna-
mental tortoise shell comb. The twist
ends at the right side Of the comb In n
rosette. Also at the left of it In a COM

the head is Of rambling knot Of velvet
ribbon. secured by comb. Women
cannot bring themselves to give I'D all

is wreath of violets or roses, with a
spray to perk up and nod. 1t fits behind
the Pompadour and around the back
