of the trial of Hattie Leblanc. the
who is on trial at the East Cambridge
courthouse for the murder Of Clarence
F. Glover. a Waltham laundry proprietor,

accused girl.
The contest was over the admission OF
evidence. considered OF extreme impor
lance to the prosecution, and strenuously
opposed by counsel for the defense. This
evidence concerns the statement alleged
to have been made by Hattie Leblanc
in the Waltham police station, imme-
diately after she was discovered hiding
under a bed in the Glover home on the
night following Glover's funeral.
Utterances Of Hattie Leblanc.
The argument between counsel was
precipitated when one OF the witnesses.

sonal attorney, was on the witness stand.

Middle Names Forbidden.

1t is a curious fact that middle names
were once Illegal. The old English law
was very definite as to the naming of
children. and, according to Coke, "a man
cannot have two names OF baptism" 1t
is requisite this law goes on that the
person be named by the name of his
baptism and his surname and that spe-
cial heed be taken to the name of bap-
