ton of one of the great political par
ties after fning a certain trust a
number of million dollars, For Gods
sake leave me my judicial honor, man
hood, and the respect of my friends"
We have the keynote of this great
Klein play.
This is one of the many recent in
stances which demonstrates beyond
cavi that Mr.. Klein did not begin
to touch the center of reality when
he wrote his great drama which has
kept the public of the entire country
talking for the past three years. The
clergy and the press in reference to
recent graft Investigations, have used
this play which Henry B. Harris had
the wisdom to produce as texts for
sermons and editorials and lately the
president of the United States was
urged to use the lesson taught by
The Lion and the Mouse" as a cam
paign document.
1t is over three years since the piece
had its premiere but a brief resume
of the story may not be inapropos.
John Burkett Ryder, the INSCRIPTIONS
money king of the world, is thwarted
in his plans by Judge Rossmore of the
United States supreme bench. Ryder
resolves TO ruin both financially and
in reputation the honest jurist. The
former wreck has been accomplished
when Shirley Rossmore, his daughter
and Ryder's only son, Jefferson, re.
turn from a European trip. They met
aboard and had fallen in love. The
girl, learning of her fathers impend-
ing disgrace, sets about to save his
reputation and becomes a member of
the money barons household. How
the Lion succumbs TO the Mouse is
unfair from the dramatist's standpoint
TO reveal
Miss Edith Barker will be seen in
the role of Shirley Rossmore and
Oliver Doud Byron is again dealing
with the part of Ryder 1t is claimed
by the critics that Mr.. Harris is this
season sending the best company yet
seen in Kleins drama.

mack's body. He did SO and reported
his findings to the prosecution. He
was subpoenaed by the state, but was
not used. The defense learned of the
autopsy and summoned the doctor.
Attorney General McCarn made this
proposition: That if the defense
would pay the state the costs of the
autopsy, including DR.. Glasgow's fee,
the state would waive its rights
Judge Hart said: The defense
wanted to see the goods before they
bought" and they offered to confer
with DR.. Glasgow, and if they decided
to use him as witness, to reimburse
the state.
To this counter proposition the pros.
ecutors entered an emphatic veto.
PAY whether you use him or not"
they said.
There was another hurried confer
enCe and the deense bought the
goods in the bag and DR., Glasgow be-
came their witness. The significance
of his testimony was that any one of
the three wounds was necessarily and
instantly fatal and that if the senator
did not fire the first shots he could
not have fired at all,
The other chief witness was S. J.
Bnning, who claimed to have seen
Senator Carmack lingering his revolv.
