Assistant Attorney Short went over
all the incidents relating to the wit

her former employer. He took her
mentally over the ground from her

period when the latter searched her

from there lace which she said be-

The only new revelation made by
the witness was that she had gone to
the Newberry library several times to
read the Help Wanted" advertise

position; which was coupled with a
denial that she had ever told any one
the story that she was robbed of 200
pounds before sailing to this country
from Liverpool.
Many Women Try to Get In.
Clamor for admission was greater
today than on any Of the previous
days of the trial. A half-hour before
the opening of the court the room of
Judge Brentano was filled with spec
tators, a majority of them being men.
A score of women were scattered
about the benches, while number of
others pleaded with the bailiffs for
admission. The line of men waitins
for chance to get in formed a chain
about the three walls of the corridor
and past this chain women forged for
ward with all srts of excuses to pass
the official Cerebus.

case" said young woman in plaid
gingham dress and peach-basket hat.
For what paper?" inquired the
bailif:.
For no paper" replied the eager
woman.
We'll, you must get an order from
Bailiff Steinert on the first floor. No
more women admitted this morning."
was the reply she received.
With look of disappointment tho

back to the elevator.
Il never saw SO many women who
are writing articles as in this case"
remarked the bailih, as his eyes
watched the retreating feminine fig
