Col. Willis S. Paine. was present and
told the court the incidents leading up
TO the losing CO the vanity glass. The de-
PENDANTS were represented by Attorney

ceny in the District of Columbia
Colonel Paine stated that he and his
wife were seated at a table at the
Breakers Hotel. and that his wife Slip
ped the chain attached to the case from

turned ten minutes later IL was gone.

bench. but despite Mr.. Carrington's
strong plea that Wooden be dismissed.
he ruled that both men be held for the
grand jury Mr. Darlington said that
in view of the testimony he would make
no plea in Nightingale's behalf AT fhe
present time, although there wo1,ld he
a strong point of law in his favor when
