LAWYER SAYS
GOODMAN HAS
MADE NO CASE
Julius limbach, Representing
Defense, Points OutCom-
plainant's Guilt.
MAKES MOTION TO DISMISS
Argues That No Proof of WELLS Con-
nection with Charge Has Been
Presented in Court.

When Judge Graves this afternoon
at 2 o'clock again resumed the pre-
iiminary hearing before him as a COM
hitting magistrate, in the fake prize
fight case, a motion to dismiss the
charge against WE'LL was made by
Julius Limbach, the attorney for the
defendant. Mr.. Limbach stated that
he had concluded to introduce no evil
dence to refute that offered yesterday
by the prosecution.
He claimed that Goodman's own
acts, by his own testimony, prevented
him charging WE'LL with any conf
dence game. He spoke first of the
fact that Goodman had made a misrep-
resentation in securing the money
which he claimed he lost. On coming
here Goodman, according to Mr.. Linn
bach. violated a statute when he ex.
ecuted challenge for a prize fight,
and when he made all agreement for
the match
"By Mr.. Goodman's own state
ments,' said Mr. Limbach, "he came
TO Rock Island for the purpose of bet
'ih6 vi sure lnlnS. he came mere
to fleece some one in Rock Island
or who might wager on the other man
in the fight He came here to rob
some one else, but the fight went
wrong, and he himself was the loser,
he claims"
Thought 1t Straight.
Mr.. Limbach claimed that Goodman
did not believe the fight was a fake
until some time after it occurred, and
that he had really nothing to base
that impression on except conjectures
He said that Goodman's entering into
articles of agreement for new bout
shows that he thought the first bout
TO have been on the square
Has No Rights.
Mr.. Limbach maintains that Good
man had no rights at law for losing
his money because he did not exer
else common prudence; did not exer
else common honesty; and was no.
led to give up his money in any trans
action of legitimate trade or pursuit

The Deadly Conflict Between Artie and Bear.

Artie was not a hoy. Artle was not a child Artie WIS 3 big rag doll that belonged to Little Lucy Grover. And Artia was about two years old. Now, did you ever hear of doil living to he two years old? never did till knew Artie. But the way l. happened that Artle had outlived his time-that Is. the allotted time for g doll this way: When he was given tO Little Lucy she had loved him very dearly. Indeed, had not Artie been made of cloth he would have been broken into a good many pieces. for 1t was Little Lucys habit to hug and hug him so hard that some times his breath was all squeezed out of his body. and he must have cracked in two had he been Of a crackable material. As 1t was his poor body suffered the consequence of such great hugs. and became sadiy natrened and out of shape. But so long as Little Lucy loved him Ar tie did not care a straw about how hard she hugged him. nor how 6at his former ly round body became. He was happy in holding supreme place in his mistress affection.
 But after Artie had been the nur sery favorite for about six months he was suddenly set aside for a new toy a stupid, feelingless. pink. white and vel low doll. all done up ln dainty white lawn. with pink ribbons. Little Lucy seemed to forget Artie entirely in the possession of this new pet. and she left him lying in a corner. where she hnd thrown him upon receiving into her arms the new pink and white thing which Artie soon grew so jealous of.
 But what could he do? In the ssd state of neglect to which he was lett he could only grieve md regret. Ana so the days and weeks passed hy with Artie. disconsolate and beart-broken. ly- ing dumped Into corner of the nursery. with never a look nor a word from Lit tie Lucy. who gave all her attention to the horrid thing with the pink cheeks and yellow hair. Pauline was the name Of this new member of the nursery. And the very name made Artie shiver. He could tell by the very expression on Paulines face-or. rather. the lack ot expression-that she had no strength of character. She was just h silly French doll. whose vanity was her dominant trait. All day long she would sit. with her mouth drawn up into silly, mean ingless pucker. her useless hands folded across her lap and her tiny slippered feet thrust forward as if to say: Look at my pretty, small tootsies.
 But pretty soon after her arrival Pau- line began to droop and look bit worn Her white frock became dreadfully soiled and her curls tangled and her ribbons disnrrnneed. Artie noted these gradual changes in her appearance with pleasure. Now. this may sound as though Artle wHs q bad-disposed fellow. Well, one may not condone his feelings. but one cannot really condemn him He would not have minded sharing-mind you. SHARING-his place in the nursery with Pauline. Brt who could blame him for feeling heait-hroken when his, place was rSurped by the strange lady doll, with no place left for hlm save a dusty corner where only rast-ofs were thIown?

In St. Luke's Church Chelsea Old Church, ss 1t Is commonly called Hes buried the remains of Sir Thomas More. Chelsea Old Church Is one of the most interesting relics of old London. IL has suffered little at the hands of time and has never been restored" On It's walls hang relics rich in historical interest, and beneath its floors of masonry lie sleeping many world famed men and women-per- sonages who made and sometimes marred the history of their time.
 To the east of the south aisle Is the little chapel built by Sir Thomas More in the year 1920 Inside the chaneel he had erected in i532 tomb to the mem ory of himself and his two wives. In thls tomb his headless body was placed long after his execution. for it had been buried in the chapel in the Tower as soon as it was carried from the scaIold. And beside him lie his two wives. Joan the first and the mother of his children To her More was married more through a sense of justice than through love, for at the time .of his betrotbal to her he said: Though his affection most served him to her younger sister. 1t would be a grief and some blemish to the eldest to have the younger sister preferred before her" His second wife was q widow at the time of their marriage.

Ing citizen of their town. And soon after that. according to legend. terrible storms began to sweep down the mountain side and grrat avaianches slid upon the town. sometimes doing great damage to man and property.
 And even to the day of which write the inhabitants of the region of Pine Cop believed that the old manor wizard, as most Of them thought him to he - wns still alive and wrecking his ven geance upon the hapless town and there hy upon the descendants of the one man who had offended or wronged him Every time a storm broke over their heads they swore 1t was the effects of the evil wizard upon the top of Pine Cop. If a drouth Killed their crops they blamed the Pine Cop. dweller for their bnd luck. Did a milk COW sicken, or a sheep die. they turned their eyes to- wards the top of Pine Cop and swore their threats against the wizard. whose evil influence was being used to their disadvantage.
 Now. in the town lived a wheelwrisht. with m only child. q little son of some J2 summers old The name Of this child was Pe;er-his father and friends called him Pete. All day long Pete worked in his fathers shop, for there was very little money to be IT ade al the trade in their town. and the father could not afford to employ an assistant.
 In the evenings Pete would sit beside the great blazing fire in the shop the and his father lived in rooms attached to the sbopl and listen to the wonderful legen- dary tales told by his father and chance friends who would drop In to chat and have smoke beside the cheerful fire place of the wheelwrizht. And long after the company had gone and his father had fallen asleep In h's highbacked wooden settle beside the fire Pete would sit and dream O. the strange stories he had heard. and would plan and plan on making journey up to the very top of Pine Cop when he should become man.
 But day soon came when Pete decided upon making the strange and per.lous journey to Pine Cops top It happened in this way. Several very brave youths had gone hunting for squirrels In the woods that covered the lower portion of the eastern sde of Pine Cop. and on their return to the village they reported that they heard strange sounds hs of some human being ir distress. And nEain they had heard laughter and singing. They had hurried home in fear. each boy hay ing stranger and more weird tales to tell than those told by his fellows.
 But as Pete listened the spirit Of adven- ture outbalanced his feelings of fear. and he made up his mind to go into the woods whence The sounds of walls. songs and laughter had been heard-oF reported to have been heard-hy the voung hunters. The time set for the journey was a day when work Tn the shop was tagging. and his father consented for him 10 take his gun and go hunting. Not a word of his plan had he spoken. for had he tod his father that he intended going in search of the mysterious person or perSOnS-or ma-hap witches and wiZards-who were responsible for the tales told by the young hunters. objections might have been raised [" h.s p!aG. end hls fathers permission refused him.

And Minnie set to work to accomplish this feat. finding some water in .a driHking glass and a kerchief in her pocket/ She scrubbed and scrubbed the face of Artie. and although she succeeded merely in smearing the jam stains all over 1t. she was pleased with the result and put the poor fellows head out at the window to dry in the sunshine and freez- ing wind. The cold atmosphere drew ~Arties features into q funny pucker. hold ing them in an ice grip. And when. little later Minnie went to bring hlm in she laughed merrily. saying "Oh. just see how he Is laughing! Isn't he too sweet for anythingT'
 And wh.n Minnie went ho-le that evening she carried In her arE4s Artie all wrapped in his oyercoat and cap. And both Minnie and Artie were happy.
 But Arties first happiness in his new home was to be shOrt-lived. Soon after his arrival there Minnies mamma came into her little daughter's playroOm one day and pulled from n huge box which she carried great brown Teddy bear.

With the smile of victory ou his jam stained face. he leaped from the chair. grabbed up his slain foe and hurried to the window with him. Succeeding in rais ing the sash Artie tossed his victim into the street below. little street boy. with his bundle of newspapers under his arm. saw the furry fellow coming through the air. and instead of Teddy Bear failing on the hard pavement he dropped Into the arms of the newsDOy. who held welcom- ing arms for him.

 And Artie. still smiling from hls place on the chair. knew that he was still his little mistress favorite. As far as the fate of Teddy Bear was cOncerned-well. Artie did not bother his rag head about that

where the light from the window might fall upon him. she took poor Artie from a comfortable chair where Minnie had set him up in all his dignity and put Teddy Bear Tn his place. Once more Artie was to be eclipsed by a rival. In the corner where Minnle's mamma had put him Artie sat meditating gloOmily. Then he chanced to look up at the'great ugly animal that had his place by the window. and to his astonishment and anger Ted dy grinned at him. Artie felt the sawdust in hls heart stop short, and he shvered as with cold. How dared that impudent. insolent beast. that went on all fours. to grin trumphantly at him? Artie rose and went straight at the bear, hls feel ings so outraged that he forgot tO he afraid. Before the bear knew what was happening Artie had him by the neck and was fingiug him tO the floor.
 Teddy fell with a dull thud It hurt him. too, for he gave vent to a grunt. Then he was up and at his antagonist, his teeth shining and his eyes full of rage. But Artie had got on the chair. a real strong hold. From his elevation he could thrust out his foot and kick Teddy Bear In the jaw every time he leaped at him. An, now it was Artie's turn 10 laugh.

 But the growing darkness soon made t impossible for Pete to see his way. and he feared that he might be forced to seek shelter for the night under the
