10Uh6 GIRL HAS TILL HABITS
Of HARDENED w0n[h Of WORLD

Within very few minutes of the
commencement of the trial of the
state against Frank Brown, colored,
for a statutory offense on Clara
Miller, a country girl who came
from Dayton last spring, the senti-
ment depicted on the countenances
of the half hundred spectators in
Judge Carey's court underwent
many changes.
AS the child-like appearing girl,
clad in a rather short skirt, with
hair in braid down her shoulders
and covered by a peaked cap, such
as many school girls affect so much
during the fall season, took the wit
ness stand as chief prosecuting wit
ness, it seemed as there might be
something in the hearts Of the peo-
pie behind the railing which is akin
to the seat of trouble for negro
rapists in the southern states. 1t
seemed like innocence in the role
of the victim of heinous crime.
Under the careful examination of
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Pugh
the girl told the story of her going
to the residence of Mrs. Pugh on
East Sprague avenue and becoming
a companion of colored people, She
told of her working in a negro res
taurant as the only means of liveli.

She told Detective Wren, who took the
note from her, that Mccoy was a great
friend of hers. and that If he would not
come no one would. She denied that he
had shot her or had been with her on Fri
day
kid Mccoy will be taken to Bellevue
Hospital to confront the girl. The police
are satisfied that he knows her whole his
tory and the story of the shooting.
An alarm was also sent out for the ar
rest of a friend of Mccoy, who. 1t Is be-
lieved. is the man who was with the girl
Friday night.
Mccoy was said to have gone away on
an automobiling trip on Friday. His en-

only smiled.

told her.

she replied.
The police took a hand and told her that

A Wood Engraver.

From the Pilgrim.
It Is admitted by authorities that the
greatest achievement In wood engraving
has been reached in America. since our
artists have carried it to a degree Of per-
lection unparalleled anywhere else in the
world The only woman in America who
practices the art Is Miss Caroline A. Powell
of Boston Her work Is remarkable for
its brilliancy OF effect IN pure black and
white, requiring the most delicate skill in
its manual execution and a feeling and in
vention with respect to the correct inter-
pretation Of values and textures OF q very
high order. The method being relief
process, the varying values are obtained
by the most delicate cutting of lines. dots
and minute picks. Blacks are obtained by
leaving the wood untouched and pure white
by cutting the wood entirely away. Miss
Powell, who was born In Dublin. Ireland.
was q pupil Of Timothy Cole. and studied
drawing at the National Academy Of De-
