cerning Illicit intercourse. McClure's at

General Fits thought it would be a
good plan ii it could be done.
When questioned, she said that the
Burlington police did not induce her
to testify against the institution, but
that the states attorney asked her to
testify. The defense endeayored to show
that the Burlington police were vexed
at Superintendent Morgan because he
had brought up the accusation of graft"
on the part of our of town officers in
bringing prisoners here and collecting
mileage.

foul line for his team. Booth shot an
other basket for Goddard and Blake got
basket for the home team, also. A
Morrisyille man was caught holding and
Booth got free throw from the foul
line, which lie made good. Goddard was
also found carrying the ball and Wood.
ards made point for Morrisville from
the foul line. The same man then got
line on the basket and dropped two
nice ones in succession, which gave his
side total of eight points, while God
dard had seven. Booth, however, got
two free throws from the foul line and
made both of them count, which placed
Goddard one point ahead.
The second half opened with both sides
determined 10 vim Goddard hurt her
chances considerably by making foul
the FIRST thing, and Morrisville scored
Oh IT. The game was then tied and
the excitement began again, Booth got
clear chance at the basket and scored
two points, placing Goddard ahead. God
dard fouled again, however, and Wood
ards made another point Morrisville
fouled and Booth made point. Fiske,
MoTisyilie's center, then scored two
points on a basket from the floor, and
Woodards did the same, spoiiing God.
