AFTER Miss Renwyck had retired
~ Richard lighted a cigarette
and sat alone on the veranda,
turning over in his mind the
events of his first crowded day and his
plans for the future campaign. Mr..
Michael COrrigan troubled him. This
little fat man was nObOdy's fool, and
no one could tell what sort OF mischief
was being hatched behind those pierre
ing eyes. which, If they continued to
twinkle about the Renwyck place,

of his cigarette away. He rose and
was about to pass into the house when
he was met In the doorway by Mr..
Renwyck.
"CrOyland," said his host impressive
ly, there is little matter which !

Richard fancied there was a certain
grimness in Mr.. Renwyck's tone and
jumped to swift conclusion. He was
found out. He wished to avoid a
scene If possible. but from what his
father had told him of Mr.. Renwyck's
temper he could gather little hope.

Despite the marvellous growth of advertis-

question the wisdom of its extension to the
business of a country savings bank.
But results refute theories, for we are in.
formed that the Hyde Park Savings Bank,
during six months advertising campaign, in

million dollars.
We have savings bank in our village. We
cannot, however, Withhold need OF praise tor
the business sagacity of ex-Gov. Page in thus
keeping Vermont money in Vermont, a policy
at once patriotic and mutually beneficial.

square business methods, has made HYDE

WOMAN PURSUED BY
VOICES is SENT TO THE ASYLUM

Catherine f. Rowe was committed TO
the state mental hospital at Provo yes
terday by Judge Lewis of the district
court.
Behind this mere statement of fact is
a story which has many elements of mys-
terry. 1t will be remembered that while
Roderick Mckenzie was chief of police
a strange woman. stylishly attired, drove
up to the police station in a hack and
asked protection from devils and
strange voices which she alleged were
bounding her.
Little information concerning her past
could be secured. but she was harbored
at the station for several days. She had
been In Salt Lake several months at the
time and had been living at boarding
house on Third East street, Finally she
was allowed to go and went to the
Keogh- Hammond hospital for treatment.
The woman was Mrs Rowe. She has
been at the hospital ever since and, fall
ing to respond to treatment was yester-
day examined and committed TO the state
mental hospital Mrs. Rowe is a di-
vorced wife. How she happened to come
to Salt Lake Is also a mystery and moth
ing concerning her past was elected from
the testimony given at the hearing yes
terday.
Her conversation is intelligent on all
subjects but that of the devils which
she says follow her constantly.
II made a tWenty-year contract with
a mining engineer, the handSOmeSt man

She said that she has travelled extern

showed signs of having had an excellent
education. Other particulars regarding
her are lacking.

SULLIVAN TRIAL
STARTS MONDAY
Judge Armstrong 0verruleS
Motion of Defense for
PoStponement.
ORDERS NEW JURY PANEL
SuLLiVAN'S ALIBI WITNESS is
SAID TO BE MISSING.

A motion by the attorneys for Joe Sui
livan. charged with the murder of Pa
trolman Ford, to postpone the trial of
the case, which is set for Monday, was
denied yesterday by Judge George G.
Armstrong.
A motion for a new jury panel was
granted and fifty names were drawn
from the jury box by J. Farley White,
deputy sheriff, in the presence of the
court, and those whose names were Sc
cured will be served with subpoenas to
appear Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
The motion for continuance was
based on an affidavit by Sullivan. The
accused man claims that he is looking
for a witness who saw him board a train
al the Rio Grande depot the night of the
murder for Ogden. According to Sulli-
van he left the city before the commits
sion of the crime and if he can find
the witness he says he can prove a COM
plete aIibl The identity of the witness
Is not known by Sullivan or his attor
neys, but the accused has a good de-
scription and has employed private de-
tectiVes to run down the man.
This man is on trial for his life said
F. e. Vickery, and 1 think the motion
should be granted"
II oppose the motion" said District At
torney LOofbouroW The name of the
witness does not appear and the affida-
Wit does not state If there is any pros
pect of his being secured. There Is no
defendant to a continuance and nothing
has been said concerning how long
postponement is desired. The case could
be continued forever under the showing
that has been made, should the petition
be granted"
Gentlemen, I can't grant a continu-
ance on that showing" declared Judge
Armstrong, and the matter was settled
that Sullivan will go on trial Monday
morning.
The securing of a new jury panel was
argued for some time by ]. II. Bailey.
jr., counsel for Sullivan, and he declared
that it should be granted without tax
ing any costs to the defendant. The
rule in such cases is to charge $50. but
after a reading of the statutes Judge
Armstrong was of the opinion that no
costs should attach in a criminal case.
1t is understood that when the trial
is called Monday the attorneys for the
defense will move that the case be trans
ferred to some other Judge.
The district attorney received a tele-
gram yesterday from Police Officer An
derson of Portland, Ore, who arrested
Sullivan. stating that he had started for
salt Lake and would be here Monday to
testify.
