The contract was then taken up. and in

declared that the contract was a fraud

and witness as to what constituted fraud

and tritle sensational. The witness
more than once said that he Judged of

he gave the tickets to his stenographer,

The cross examination was lengthy and
rigid. the main purpose being to show
that Mr.. sands's idea that the women
were members OF the society and Rich

Sensation Sprung.
Mr.. Sands left the witness chair and
everybody waited for Mr.. Folks to eau
the next witness. but Mr.. Folks called

to the introduction of this witness and
the cool. smiling lawyer took his seat.
Mr.. Folkes jumped to his feet and COM
menced to address the court. He wa:
interrupted by the court who ordered
the jury Withdrawn. and the lawyers
proceeded to discuss the objection to the
introduction Of the real" Mrs. Burton
as witness.
Mr. Folkes said he had already proven
that Burton introduced q woman IN itch
mond as Mrs. A. c. Burton, that that
woman had gone about town as Mrs.
A. C. Burton soliciting money from peo-
pie and telling people that she was Mrs.
A. c. Burton.
He simply wished to prove by this
witness that Mrs. A. G. Burton was not
in Richmond at that time andlnever was
in Richmond until o'clock last night.
He would not ask half dozen cues

Mr.. Pollock again took the floor and
said in effect that Burton was charged

his guilt or innocence. Mr.. Wise spoke
very briefly along the same line and
made reference to q recent decision OF the
Supreme Court that sustained his view
of the matter. f.4a@
The court took the same view as the
defence and ruled that Mrs. Burton coulu
not be a witness. She was at once es-
corted to Mayor McCarthy's once doWh-

Court then took a recess until 4;so and
everybody went to talking about the

ley. or had not produced the books, and
he replied that he didn't know, as he
didn't have to confront that situation.
Mr. Pollock took the witness In hand,
and again the whole story was gone over.
and the astute lawyer tangled the Mayor
up considerably on number of points.
but no material new facts were brought
out.
In reply to Mr. Folkes. the Mayor said
the women told him in Burton's presence
that they had turned over all the money
they had collected to Burton.
Mr. Pollock asked If they admitted
turning over the 50 collected from Sands,
| and witness said, No.
That concluded the Mayors testimony.
| and counsel requested him to 20 back
to the witness room as he might be
called again, but Judge Witt said: Take
| your seat In the courtroom, Mr.. Mayor"
| and Mr., Mayor drew up a chair and sat
| down by Mr.. Folkes the balance of the
| morning.
! Detective c. A. Gibson was the next
witness. He went with the mayor to the
annex and to the Langley on the night
OF the concert. He corroborated the may
ors testimony as TO what occurred at
these places, and In examining him
counsel for defence pursued the same
mainly TO show that the memorandum
books procured and the settlement made
was the result OF threats OF imprisonment.
Defence also asked questions of this wit
ness TO show that the mayor was willing
to effect a settlement on the basis OF the
showing made by the books, although he
had charged great and many frauds.

American National Bank, was called. liz

some papers. while he kept one eye on
the door leading from the rear room OF
the clerks office. The door opened and
well but plainly dressed woman entered
the room, accompanied by one OF the
court officers. Only about three men In
the courtroom had ever seen the woman
before. and none. knew who she was or
what was her business The two attor-
neys for the defense looked at each other
in quizzical, startled way. Everybody
peered at the woman as she approached

to prove that Burton came to Richmond,
bringing three women. whom he claimed

nieces; that he employed these to go
around town and solicit funds under false
pretense; that such funds as they secured

The bill at the Jacques this week is much better than the show handed out the preceding weeks and a large audience last evening found some en- joyment in witnessing the perform ance. Frank Byron and Louise Lang don head the bill in a skit entitled "A Dude Detective" and although 1t is nothing but nonsense. Byron in the role of the detective more than made good. Eddie Mack, clever dancer, had the honors of the even ing and more than made a hit, espe- cially with the galleries. The Misses Delmore with their same old act are still entertaining, but would be much more 50 if they would get some new songs. Lawrence and Harrington in "Installments" have a slam bang act in which the female member gives an imitation of a New York east side girl. She Is the toughest looking nut seen in long time. The Buckeye State Four contribute a good act. while Seymour and Hill in acrobatic work are not half bad. The opening number. Hsssen. Hunter and Hassen, club and hoop jugglers. is a good beginner, being in keeping with the rest of the bill.
