She Testifies ii Trial Of Brough-
ton BTandsnburg.
HER CONVENIENCE CONSIDERED
Hearing sandwiched- Into Another
Case to Permit Presidents
Widow to Depart Tor Summer
Homo in New Hampshire.

New York City.-Accused OF grand
larceny In the second degree in hav-
ing sold In the last Presidential cam
paign to the New York Times an ar
ticle purporting to have been written
by Grover Cleveland, attacking Will
lam J.. Bryan, Broughton Brandon
burg, magazine. writer, was put on
trial before Justice Fitzgerald and a
jury in the Criminal Branch of the
Supreme. Court. The defendant, who
fed on the eve of the day set for his
trial in February last, was captured
q month ago in California, whittier he
had gone in disguise with his stepsOn.
Since then he has been in the TOmbs
prison.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow Of
| the President. was the principal wit
| ness examined. She was in black, re-
lieved only by the white edging of her
collarette. Her testimony was given
in a low tone. She vas familiar, she
said, with Mr.. Cleveland's handwrit-
ing. She identified five checks and
four letters as containing his genuine
signatures. Assistant District Attor-
ney Mott then showed her, carefully
preserved between glass, the sigma
ture to the alleged Cleveland article
in the Times, published on August
81, 1908. She said she had seen the
disputed signature four times. and
had examined it closely on each oc-
casion-frst in the New York Times
Office, then in the Office of DR.. Joseph
D. Bryant, her husbands personal
physician and confidant; next in the
District Attorneys Office, and finally
in the Grand Jury room.
as it the handwriting of Mr.. C1eve-
land?" asked Mott.
"It is not" st
as there any doubt about it,"
"There is no doubt. 1t is not his
handwriting"
Mrs. Cleveland said she had never
authorized f. S. Hastings, executor
of the Cleveland estate, to tell the
Times or anybody else the signature
was genuine: nor had she eve heard
Hastings say the signature was gen.
uine. She identified a copy of a tele-
gram sent by her to the Times two
days before the publication of the ar
ticle expressing doubt O. T.. genuine
ness and advising the paper to confer
with Hastings
She said she knew OF no meeting
between her husband and Branden-
burg. She got only one letter from
tho defendant. This was in August,
1908. She testified she never talked
with him over the phone.
The hearing was abruptly sand
wiched into a murder trial IL order
to oblige Mrs. Cleveland, who wished
to testify and then take her children
to- the Cleveland summer home in
New Hampshire. Mott, in his opening
speech to the jury. said the alleged
Cleveland signature was bogus, that
the ink was different, and there, was
a break in the continuity of the let.
ters- He would prove, he said, the
article had been dictated by Branden.
burg in a public typewriting office.

GIRL MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS
Granddaughter Of General Franz Si-
gel, Civil War Hero. Choked to
Death With a Clothcsine and
damned Into a Trunk.

New York City.-The body Of Elsie
Sigel, twenty years old, granddaugh-
ter. of General Franz Sigel, was found
damned into a1trunk in a fla former
ly occupied by two Cinnamon on the
fourth floor of Nc. 1872 Eighth ave-
nue.. The young woman, who had
been missing from her home over a
week, had been strangled with a
~clothesline. The body was in the
trunk evidently five or six days. Paul
Sigel, of No. 209 Wadsworth avenue,
the girls father, When he first viewed
the hardly recognizable body, denied
it was, that of hts daughter.
The body was clothed in white I'M
derwear and a white cotton waist.
The feet we're bare and the hair free,
hanging in a thick, brown Eiass. A
woman's black hat, a small umbrella
and a pea-green jacket with cream
white lining lay on the bureau.
The other members OF the family
fought against believing the girl had
been murdered in the Cinnamon S liv-
ing quarters, but when trinkets be-
longing to the girl and letters she
had written to a Chinaman were
found in the fiat and shown to the
mother, she accepted the death OF her
daughter as a fact, and Slgel adj
| mitted the identity of the body. Mrs.
| er among the Chinese, was the first
to identity the body positively in the
Morgue.
The police suspected Lung Lin, an

| Leon, and Chung Sin, both OF whom
formerly occupied the two-room fiat
now deserted, in the rear OF the tor
floor. A picture of one of these. men
was found in the Sigel home, and
both Thomas l.. Bunnell, a curb bro
ker, in the Hotel Bristol, and a Chi.
naman said they saw Leon with the
girl recently and heard him speak Of
her. These two Cinnamon vanished
from their fiat almost a week before
the tragedy was uncovered.
The death of the girl seems TO nave
resulted from the desire to do mis-
sionary work, which led both Mrs
Sigel and her daughter to make
friends with Cinnamon in Sunday
schools and teach them the Scrip
lures. Either one or both OF tn
; Cinnamon may have gained the conf
dence of the girl and led her ava!
from home. The police say there j.

Eat What
You want-of the food you need
Kodo1 will digest it.

You need . sufficient amount Of
g~oodWholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
1t is weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffice
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodof will do that.

A THE cool days approach women
"a are turning their attention to the
fall wardrobe, and an important
TEN is the afternoon gown of cloth
)r crepe de chine. The new silk cash
neres are a favorite material. and the
smart models are all showing hand
embroidery in a matching tone 1t is
:hese bits of handiwork that give the
,achet to a gown and distinguish it
rom the more ordinary run of frocks.
Il is hand work, too. which sends the
price of gown soaring into the
clouds. Fortunate, indeed, is the
woman who can make her own gown
and do the bit of embroidery which
3ets it, off so well.
To-day we are giving an effective
and simple design from the Greek
which may be applied to a frock of
one of the new tones of silk cashmere.
rhe half-tones-the dull blues, grays
and violets, are all good, and a new
shade, mahogany red, is very fashion
able.
To apply the design to the CLOTH
lay it on hard board and use hard
sharp pencil. For light colors use
carbon paper between the material
and the design. and for dark use a
marking board or piece of unglazcd
white paper, covered thickly with
French or tailor's chalk. In working
be careful that the marks do not get
rubbed Off
The embroidery is simple to do and
very rapid, as the silks used are
coarse. The outline of the square is
done in plain outline stitch and the
little border on the long side with
Fat dots, while the stitch between the
dots is taken on the right side. The
rest of the embroidery is solid satin
stitch, with padding under the long
leaf-shaped pieces. Use the heavy
Flo embroidery silk.
The gown in the sketch is dull
old red silk cashmere. with the en-
broidery in matching tone, and the
sleeve frills and tucker of soft white
null, with a bit of lace on the frilis.
The collar has a little tie of black
satin, which gives the note of black
