TRIAL OF HATTIE LEBLANC
 PROSECUTION WINS POINT
First Important One Since Case Was
 Taken Up a Week Ago.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 6.-As the trial of Hattie Leblanc for the murder Of Clarence F. Glover was drawing to close today the prosecution won it's first important point since the case was taken up, a week ago yesterday, in ob- tanning permission to have introduced the evidence given by the little girl at her examination by the police immedi- ately after her arrest.
 Witness Brought from Canada.
 This evidence was given in French through the aid of Miss Zella Gallant a nurse in Waltham at that tiTne who was brought in by the police to act as interpreter. Up to today the proSecu- tion had been unable to introduce this evidence because Miss Gallant was in Cape Breton and had refused to come to massachusetts,. A special officer was sent to Canada and persuaded her to make the trip. and this afternoon she appeared in court.
 With the jury out of the room, and the defense and the prosecution both reinforced by native F'renchmen and women, Miss Gallant was asked a se- ries of questions in, English and order ed to give the answers in French. Af- ter half an hour of this work, Judge Bond decided that sine might testify, provided that she kept close to the written evidence taken by a stenogra- pher at the police station.
 Prisoners Counsel Protested.
 Melvin Nj. Johnson, counsel for Hat tie Leblanc, protested vehemently and took an exception to the ruling. Miss Gallant was excused after the decision. She will take the night to clear her mind from the fatigue of the journey and appear on the witness stand to- morrow. She may be the last witness for the government. Her testimony is regarded with great interest by the district attorney, for it is said to con- tain much of the governments case against the girl.
 Brother of Murdered Man Testifies.
 Half a dozen witnesses were on the stand today and their evidence was partially contradictory as compared with what they had testified before other tribunals.
 Seymour Glover, a beneficiary under the will of his brother, admitted that he had heard his slster-in- law, Mrs. band would behave himself. She might have made serious threats. but he could not rem en1ber them. He said he had heard Clarence Glover say he feared someone would plug him if he continued going with other women.
 Another witness picked up a comb in the laundry where the shooting is said to have taken place and said that he had seen Mrs. Glover wearing 1t. S2o,ooo Libel Suit Against Mrs. Glover.
 One of the incidents in the old court house today was the filing of declara- ton in a S2o.000 libel suit of Captain Peter King of Cape Breton against Mrs. Glover fin which he alleged defa- nation of character by Mrs. Glover in the course of her testimony in the probate court.

HERoISM OF NOANK FISHERMAN
 SAVED LIFE OF CREW,
Fought His Way Through Surf in Dory
 to Arouse Life Savers.

Tal Dodge of NoanlS, Conn, in fighting his way through the surf in a dory after the vessel had been driven ashore in the blinding snowstorm tonight, was all that saved the lives of the others. The Dodge had been fishing off Nantucket ShoaI and was endeavoring to make shelter when she struck on Grove Point, at the northeast end of Block Island.
 Realizing that their only hope lay in getting assistance from shore, one of the sailors, whose name is not known, volunteered, and though the wind was blowing a fifty mile gale when he pulled away in the little boat and disappeared in the darkness he reached the beach after a hard strug- gle.

He was a com manding officer from the time of his graduation"
 Served in Many Battles.
 General Merritt was six times brev- cited in the volunteer service and the regular army for gallant and meritori- ous conduct on the field of battle.
