rhe Thlrd pearee Tonlaht.

Sitting in a dingy steamship wait
ing room, with gendarmes, peasants
and naughty Partisan danes passing
or lounging about, Charles Klein,
while waiting for a steamer at Mar
settles, France, received the inspira-
ton for his latest dramatic product,
1.-THE Third Degree"
Mr.. Klein, with his wife, had Just
completed tour of provincial Britain
and France and was bound for Cairo,
Egypt. Upon their arrival, as is Mr..
Klein's custom, he visited the Office of
the American consul at Marseilles
and requested him to forward such
mail as arrived to Egypt, and with his
pretty little wife boarded the steamer
"sergipe" at the Lloyd Brazileiro
docks.
AS the gang-plank was being hoist
ed, a messenger came running down
the dock shouting in French for Mons.
Klein. Mr.. Klein, being perfect lin
guist, answered the call and the mes
senger, from the consul's Office, tossed
him parcel OF mail and several late
American papers, which had just ar.
rived from Cherbourg. The steamer
was we'll out to sea when Mr.. Klein
spread the papers out in the smoking
room and began reading the tele
graphic matter.
Wrong man executed for crime,
guilty man confesses OH his death
bed," ran one headline and this par
ticularly attracted Mr.. Klein's atten'
ton.
Calling his wife, he outlined a
drama to her, with the plot hanging
about young man forced to confess
through extortion, or sweating" as
one of the severe processes OF the
third degree is termed. The wife,
who is generally the censor OF all Mr..
Klein's inspirations. approved the
scheme, and when tho famous dra-
matist reached his hotel, The Shep-
pard, at Cairo, Egypt, his mental notes
were transferred into the scenario Of
what has since proven to be the most
interesting dramatic document yet
contributed.
The first act was written while the
Kleins were en- route to Germany, and
the second act during the long trip
from Bremen to New York, and the
third and final one after Mr.. Klein
had witnessed tho sweating Of tho
man Whitmore, who was accused Of
numbering his wife and which reused.
SO much excitement in New Jersey.
whitmore was subjected to the third
degree for ten hours, and throughout
this entire time Mr.. Klein sat with his

 Judge Sweeney recited in detail the several transfers of the property since 1872. claiming that the deeds restrict tions prohibited the use of the land for any purpose except for substantial dwellings, and then within prescribed building lines.

He claimed that the respond ents, contrary to the deed restrictions, threaten to build on the property, the building to extend beyond the estab- lished building lines, and thereby ob- struct the view of Fishers Island sound from the Griscom house, and the plaintiff asked for an injunction restraining the defendants from build ing within the prescribed lines.
