Congressman Lilley Is reported by his friends as in excellent spirits and condition. He certainly has a right to feel cheered by the attitude Of the newspapers of his state con- cerning his recent scoring by con- gress.

that they not only greatly marred my

to get deeper. Next ] went to a beauty

HAS NOVEL DEFENSE
FOR KISSING WOMAN
Hypothetical Question Put by
Prisoner Has the Magis-
trate Guessing.

NEW YORK, Sept 4-Magistrate
Namuer. of Brooklyn, is puzzling over
a question Blackstone forgot to ex-
pound. The question is a hypothetical
one, propounded by Michael Lesynski,
who forgot to qualify as an expert.
You would not expect a woman to
ask you TO kiss her, would yOu?" asked
Lesynski. And if she did would you
want to do so2"
That was his defense after he had
admitted that 1t was true as charged
by Annie Shumakers that he had kissed
her, even though she had forbidden it.
The case is under adYisement while
the court consults authorities to discov-
er whether the defense IS a real defense.
