is WALTZ GUILTY
Evidence Not Clear in the Welmes
Murder Case.
WALTZ MAY BE FREED
Judge Phelan VIII Decide Today
Whether Waltz Should Be Held For
the Crme-PoIice Are Confident He
Is the Guilty Man.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 21.-Probably no
criminal case before a Detroit court
in years has attracted the widespread
interest that the whole state is paying
to the trial of Emil Waltz, charged
with the brutal murder of little Adolph
Wines. The testimony thus far
against Waltz has been wholly cir
cumstantial, and many doubt if 1t is
sufficient to hold him for trial in the
higher court. Judge Phelan will de-
eide that point today. There is little
doubt that Waltz is dangerous brute,
but he stoutly protests that he would
not be guilty Of disemboweling a little
boy.
The morning and afternoon sessions
of the case Tuesday were uneventful,
the evidence being of the same stamp
as that heard a week ago. Arthur AL
len of GIG Jefferson avenue swore that
on the evening before the murdered
boy was discovered he had seen AL
phonse Wines with a tall, slender
ludu, WIZ uc was w dllZ.
Lem Everett of 525 Vinewood ave-
nue. declared that at o'clock on the
morning of the day the boy was found
he had seen Waltz striding down the
railroad tracks In the vicinity OF
Champlain and Dequindre streets.
Walt seemed greatly excited at the
time.
Charles Collins was again placed on
the stand and gave evidence that he
had worked with Waltz on paving in
this city. His evidence was very con-
Trajectory.
Detective George Larkins and Prose
cutor Bumps declare they are sure
that Waltz will be held as a number
of witnesses have positively identified
him as having been seen with the boy
or in the vicinity Of the place where
the murder was committed.
The object Of this mornings session
is to take the evidence of a witness
who is a railroad engineer and who
could not be present yesterday.

Impres.ions while Drownine.

Most Of us, expect, at some time or
other have wondered what it feels like
to be drowned. If we have never seen
any one drowning we mean by this
that we wonder whether it Is at all
like what it is represented to be
whether ones whole past life passes
before ones eyes like q dream, wheth-
er one spends ones last few moments
in wishing one had spent more profita-
bly, the last few years. If we have seen
people drowning we wonder whether 1t
feels as bad as 1t looks. Now, 1 cannot
pretend to have been nearly drowned
Nor can l sey what it feels like to sink
after prolonged struggle in calm wa
ter within sight Of land. But l can say
what 1t feels like to be quite convinced
that one Is going to be drowned, and l
am happy TO know from personal ex-
perience that tic feeling Is one merely
Of disappointment. One Is simply an
ncyed, certainly not angry. certainly
not afraid.-Uubcrt Waiter in Black

Advent OF the Full skirt.

Morning gowns of wash silk are
among the new things seen at the i'm
porters. They are very simply made,
with plated skirts and shirt waists or
else shirred OF gathered. Very little
trimming is used.
The full skirt is certainly coming
back. Not a few gowns are being
made with long straight skirts gather
ed all around the waist line and falling
in full folds to the feet in q nunlike
severity Of line. Skirts are Il very un-
certain quantity this season. and the
economical woman who expects to
wear some of her gowns another sum
mer or into the autumn is at a loss how
to have them cut. The tight skirt, far
ing at the bottom, the rufiled and
draped skirt, the Il plated, the tuck
ed and now the full skirt all seem
equally correct. The probabilities are
that some form of fullness will soon
Danish the sheath effect to which we
have become accustomed. 1t will be
wise in buying handsome gowns to buy
a few extra yards of material to permit
of alterations later.-New York Fash
ion Letter.
