woman gained admission to the Jail. h"

to come out. He would not come any fur
Their than tine door. however.
harrington seems disposed TO lay the
blame for his troubles upon the women he
has known. He is deeply interested in the
statements made by Mrs. Mccain. He pro-
fesses not to believe the stories attributed
to her and declares that she is deliberately
distorting the facts. If she is correctly
quoted.
He says he Is anxious to meet her on the
witness stand. where he can pace his
statements against hers where he can coun-
tcrbalance the effect of her testimony with
the secrets that he hints Will come out at
the proper time.
