tional and long-drawn-out Brokaw

The closing of the proceedings today
took everybody by surprise. 1t came
Don after Mr.. Brokaw's cross-exami-
nation had been concluded. and Mrs.
Mary Blair Brokaw had been recalled.
The plaintiff, wearing a pretty light
brown walking suit, set off by white
fox furs and a brown turban, was well
fortified with denials OF charges made
by her husband. She emphatically
denied that Mr.. Brokaw had ever told
her about a threat made by her father,
Mr.. Blair, at Atlantic City, to kill the
millionaire. Her eyes flashed as he
repudiated charge after charge. She
declared that she had never smoked
cigarettes in ner husbands presence
before their marriage, as MIR. Brokaw
had testified, and she denied ever tell.
ing her maid that she expected soon
to set up a house Of her own and
wanted the maid to work for her.
Before Mrs. Brokaw was called
Messrs. Mcintyre and Bushe, for Mr..
Brokaw. told the court that their client
had statements on the Witness
stand regarding his financial condition
that were probably incorrect. AS a
matter of fact, the lawyers declared,
Mr.. Brokaw at the present moment did
not know what his actual financial po-
sition was. They asked for two days
IN which to prepare a statement.
The court granted them until Satur-
day, when a session of court will be
held.

As a strictly business proposition, the government has been slack in re- fusiug to give Douglas Island cable connection. The theory has been that the business from the Island could just as well be transacted through the Ju- neau office. A this in some cases nearly doubles the expense of cable message it was not an incentive to trade. However, the chances are now good that Douglas will soon be pro- yided with au up-to-date wireless out fit and the government cable can go to the dickens.
