Ella Gingles Testifies in Her Trial for
Larceny.

Chicago, July 3.-"I want you for
man in French Lick Springs. He
will give you lots of money"
Ella Gingles, the 18-year-old Irish
1acemaker, testified in Judge Brep-
tano's court here today that the above
remark was made to her by Miss
Agnes Barrette, proprietress of lace
store in the wellington hotel at the
time the Gingles girl was found gagged
and bound in the bathroom of the
hotel, January 5.
at was taken to room by Miss
Barrette and Mrs. kenyon" said the
girl, speaking of a visit prior to the
binding and gagging incident Later
a man came into the room and 1 can
not tell what else happened. I only
know a man of the name of Charlie
called up the man in the room"
Miss Gingles claimed on the stand
that the larceny charge against her
was part of the plot to drive her into
going to French Lick Springs. The
relation of this story visibly affected
the witness and at one time she SEEM
ed onthe verge of a breakdown. How
ever, she answered all questions
promptly and clearly.
No attempt was made to bring out
the identity of the mysterious man in
French Lick Springs, who was sup
posed to be behind all this plotting,
and it was plain when court adjourn
ed at the close of the day that little
more along this line would be brought
into the cdSe.s

At Garfield Park
Garfield park will be a rendezvous
for all who wish to celebrate in a
mild and peacabIe manner. There
will be no extra attractions open for
the day. but the park will be open
and there will be a large number OF
family picnics. The boating on
Soldier creek will be especially at
Topeka is fortunate in one respect
this year. She will have no In
dependence day oratory and the
day without the customary scream
ing. The large amount of state house
oratory has been overlooked and
these servants of the public will be
allowed to infiict their metaphors and
smiles with flights of eloquence upon
those more fortunate cities who do
not see them every day.
The above mentioned features VIII
accommodate the larger part of the
Fourth of July ceIebratOrs. but there
will be an unlimited number of prf-
vate excursions to the wooded retreats
and fishing resorts of nearby streams
independence day will be no paeans
of rejoicing to the little ichthyol ogica1
creatures who infest Kansas streams,
that is if the present plans are fully
matured.
The celebration will be noteworthy
from the fact that it will be the first
one under the new Jackson plan or
absoIution from all alcoholic st1mu- |
lants.
This will be the one hundred and
thirty-tFird celebration of America 8 |
natal day. 1t won't be marked with
the bombs and eclat of decade or
two ago, but it will be marked by all
America taking a day off from the
business cares and turmoils and by
resting from the daily path of toll
and trouble pay reverence to the one
day of all others which gave our
a high ranking among the |
nations of the earth.
