MURDERED MANS
CHILDREN TESTIFY,
The next witness called was Carol Bur-
dick. the 13-year-old daughter of the muir
dered man. charming. unaffected child.
She remembered the day her fathers body
was found. She remembered the dinner the
previous evening and told of her father
movements up to the time he came into
their room and kissed them good night
Her sister. Marion. was in the hall, and
she thought she had gone to sleep before
Marion came to bed. Marion had been
sleeping with her grandmother. but she
could not remember whether she did on that
night or Thursday night. She met her
grandmother In the hall on the second floor
on the morning that her papa was found
dead. She did not think she had her bath
robe on. She thought she was in her skirts
Alice. the 10-year-old sister of Carol, was
then put on the stand. She was much more
interested in what was going on about her
than she was in the District Attorneys
questions. 1t was all so new and strange
to her.
She watched the swiftly moving hands of
the stenographer. took in the Judge with
wide-open eyes end occasionally favored
the District Attorney with a delightfully."-
pleasant smile.
Mr.. Coatsworth questioned her for the
purpose of showing that bathrobe which
Mrs Hull had been IN the habit Of wearing
had not been worn by Mrs. Hull in some
time. but Alice declared that she saw 1t
on her grandmother two or three days ago.
Alice said she did not know that her
father was dead until after breakfast on
Friday morning, when her grandmother
told her. Before she came down to break
fast she had been told by her grandmother
that her father was lying Ill in the den;
that her grandmother said some one had
been in the house and hurt her father. Later
Alice contradicted herself by saying it was
not until after breakfast that she learned
he was ILL., her grandmother having told
her that papa was lying down on the
couch In the den.
The inquest then was suspended until
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.

In the court scene Whiteside drove the

All in all. Whitesides is not an impossi-

Blends In History.

1t is certain that blond long headed
men once played a great role in history,
for it was they who colonized Galatia
and brought home the treasures of
Greece and Italy to Toulouse, who
overthrow the Roman empire in the
west and won England from the Brit
ons. 1t is equally certain that this phys
ical type was once much more domi-
nant and widely distributed than it is
now and that it is tending to die out
This is especially true of that pro-
nounced form of blends which is dis
tinguiShed by red hair. Red haired
persons do not now constitute the ma
jority in any known tribe or nation,
but one authority sets forth grounds
for thinking that red hair was once
much more prevalent.
1t must have occurred, for instance,
among the Brahmans, since they were
forbidden by the laws of Manu- to
marry red haired women. There is no
doubt that blends and red haired per
sons are still encountered about the
Hindoo Kush, among the tribes from
whom the Brahmans are supposed to
have been immigrants. But obedience
to the law mentioned would, in the
course of time. annihilate the tendency
to their reproduction.
