wood. "a suburb. he put in the hour
before his departure east in driving
about in the morning air.
Colonel Roosevelt left over the

train to Cleveland making very short
speeches from the rear platform at
many Of the towns through which

appointment to big crowd which
had gathered to cheer him at the
Central railroad station here. They
patiently waited till the train pulled
out and departed only when the foot
Of the engine showed their hopes Of
aeclaiming the former president were
vain.

Deathly pale, his tw'tchin9 mouth

His attorneys won the FIRST skirmisn
by being given the right to argue ON
the question Of appeal. Justice Ridley
ruled that the prisoner could not be

As soon as Crippen appeared he be-
gan to confer with his counsel. Bar
rister Tohin's first plea was that the
jurors had not been isolated ard that
there might have been outside com
muEication THIS plea was -overruled
by the justices
Tobin then contended that the prose
eutian introduced important evidence
at an improper time ana In this way
deprived the defense ot its right To re-
but the evidence.
This plea did not make much inn
preston GA the court. and Tohin then
declared that the body WAS not sufii-

day morning, at Q o'clock.
Immediately following the explos-

WAS 10 have met started QUITO look
for him. To their horror, they found
his mangled body a few rods east OF
