Attorney Woodrough, for Davis, then
made a formal motion to discharge the
defendant, which the court overruled.
The defense started out with witnesses
tending to show that Davis did not get on
the street car at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets at 10 o'clock, as several witnesses
testified. and that DIR. Rustin and Mrs,
Rice did not start on their last walk out
TO the neighborhood of DR.. Rustin's home
at that time. The time Mayor Dahlman's

the controversy, as both Davis and one OF

that time.

Five Stories.

Though much is being said and write !
about New York's growth in length and
breadth, in the number of it's inhabitants
and the height of its sk~yscrapers. one does
not often hear the question: How thick
is New York; Now, there may be more
. swers than one to this query. II the
person to whom it is put is inclined to
the use of slang he may translate "thick''
into stupid" and reply: New York is
just thick enough to let a succession OF
Tammany mayors waste her wealth until
bankruptcy stares her in the face" But
If lac takes the word "thick'' literally he
might answer with truth that New York
City has an extreme thickness of l,O9O feet.
In other words. from the uppermost tin
of the terminal light on the big Metropoli-
tan tower, which is 100 feet above the
street level, the highest point permanently

ground in New York. to the extreme depth
Of the elevator plunger cylinders beneath
the City Investment building. a point 800
feet below the level Of Broadway, the point
of greatest depth thus far reached by man
in his activities below ground in New York,
the city is over one-quarter of a mile
thick. Reduced to yards, this thickness OF
New York Ia 1863 yards and one foot, and
In inches the total thickness is $3.50. Elk
tended over a horizontal plane, this thick
ness of New York would a little more than
equal the distance from the Battery to
Rector street or from the city hall to
Leonard street.
And If, by some giant knife, Manhattan
island could be cut like a pie, down through
the lofty Metropolitan tower, to the ex-
IRENE depth of the elevator cylinders be-
meath the City Investing building, all I'M
believers would be offered ample ocular
proof that within the last few years under
ground life in New York has developed at
an almost unbelievable rate.

elevator cars which descend to this bottom
level at present, but passenger elevators
even now descend to the third level or
story below the street, on which the hotel
laundry is, and they will probably descend
the entire distance to the fifth level some

the fact that the subway, as II swings

said, remarked they had better hurry, as
Davis might get tired Of waiting.

Near Fortieth and Farnam, she said, the
doctor pointed out a man standing at the

Il looked and recognized Charles L.

DR.. Rustin then left her and walked past
the man on the corner and went toward
his home,
Or. Rustln said for me to wait a while
and II Davis would not kill him he would
come to me. / waited for the third car
and then took it and came down town"
She said a man got on the car at the

Clara Gleason's place, where she had a
room, reaching there about twenty minutes
Of IL O'Clock. She said she telephoned D..
Rustin $ home twice before going to bed.

Mr.. Gurley went over all the important
points in her evidence and subjected her TO

the close was mistaken. She was asked
about an interview in a local paper the
