Wicked Brown SophemOres.

Howard A. Coffin, formerly of Vermont
Academy, is very well known to the people
of this town. He is now a student in
Brown University, and last Tuesday had
occasion to make good use of his foot ball
muscle.
The banquet of the Brown freshmen

tuesday evening, despite an effort OF the
sophomores TO break it up. 1t was at an
-arly hour Tuesday III ruing that band
f sophomores made their way into the
room occupied by Howard A. Coffin of
East Fairfield, Me-, the president OF the
freshman class, and HALEY T. Waller OF
West Derby, Vt, the leader of the fresh
man q artet, and into the room OF Edward

Toward evening, when the sun was just disappear ing from view I struck up a conversation with very prim-looking young woman who sat next to me.

FAYNE STRAIN MOORE
And Also Martin Mahon, Who Was
Badgered

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The taking OF evil
dence in the case of Fayne Strain Moore,
accused of robbery in the first degree, was
resumed today before Recorder Golf. Three
witnesses gave testimony confirming that
of Martin Mahon, the alleged victim of the
badger game. Then Mrs. Fannie E. John
son, who lives on West Fifty-seventh street,
where it is alleged Mahon took Mrs. Moore,
said she knew Mahon and also the defend
ant, but did not know William Z. Moore.
She testified that she had asked Fayne
Moore in the Tombs why she did not turn
states evidence. Mrs. johnson broke down
at this point and shed many tears. In
reply to a question she said Fayne Moore
said she would not turn states evidence
because she was afraid Moore would kill
her.
The prosecution closed, and Mr.. Levy,
the attorney for the defense, moved for
dismissal of the complaint, on the ground
that the prosecution had failed to establish
its case. The motion was denied
Anne Fitzgerald, matron of the city pris-
on, was called for the defense. She denied
having heard Mrs. johnson advise Mrs.
Moore to turn states evidence, and also
denied other parts of Mrs. Johnson's evil
dence. AT this point the court adjourned,
