 history. She was, according to this narrative, the daughter of Russian prince who met her mother in Louisville and eloped with her, Miss Conrad being borned in Venezuela, where her father was killed in riot
 Losses of one kind or another reduced the widows property from s200,00O to $2O,000, which latter sum she collected in New York in insurance. This $200O0, Stokes said Miss Conrad told him, was souandered by a man her mother mar ried. The daughter then had to go to work.
 She said,' the witness continued, "she had come to see me on her law yer's advice, to tell me about the letters she found on the table with the suicide note.
 q told Miss Conrad that Miss Graham was an undesirable woman, testified Stokes, "and that I would not give Miss Graham one cent, but I said l would give Miss Conrad money for the nurse to look after Miss Graham Miss Con- rad wanted me to sign a note for S2O0 to allow Miss Graham to go abroad. l said I would not. I would give noth- ing because I thought Miss Graham was a dangerous woman"
 Stokes said he offered to draw a check for s200 to enable Miss Graham to get to Belgium to join her Sister, whereupon he continued: Miss Con- rad said: fOh, no; do not draw al check, there might be some scandal about 1t. Give me the cash I said all right and gave her the money"

Remarks: The above analysis, referring to the mineral constituents. shows the water entitled to be classified as s&tisfac- tory The amount of calcium and mag nesium bi-carbonates is not sufficient to render the sample objectionable for pot able purposes. According to tbe conven- tional scale of classification, the water is entitled to be designated as good" Re garding the amount of albuminoid am- monia found, no serious significance is to be attached for the reason that the quantity of chlorin found to be present is comparatively small, indicating the ab- sence of sewage contamination. The presence of the albuminod ammonia is doubtless due to decaying vegetable mat ter which is permitted to grow in the spring. The quantity will likely increase unless steps are taken to remove all veg etable growth. respectfully recommend that appropriate measures be in augurated soon as practicable, with this end in view. Excessive vegetable decay would doubtless, in time, result in pro- viding a cultural medium for pathogenic germs With the removal of vegetable growth it is likely that the proportion of albuminoid ammonia would rapidly de- crease.

Questioned About Visit

The defendants attorney questioned MT. Stokes sharply regarding Miss Gra- hams visit to his farm in Lexington. Ky. The defense has contended that the girl expected to find other guests with Stokes and when she discovered she was visiting him alone, she left the following morning Didn't she leave because you tried to insult her?" Stokes was asked. He was not allowed to answer this ques- tion but he replied she remained on the farm about three days.
 His attorney read the letter of invita- ton in which Miss Graham's sister was asked to visit Stokes at the same time.
 But you did entertain so-called father ly affection for Miss Graham, didn't you?" asked the girls attorney.
 T did feel kindly toward her replied Stokes, turning to smile at the two young women.
 What were your intentions toward her?"
 ITO be polite to her"
 Prosecution Closes
 The prosecution closed it's case with the examination of a policeman who first reached the house after the shooting. He said the girls told him that each Of them had shot Stokes.
 At the close of the morning session il was rumored the defendants would not go on the stand at this examination.
 When the afternoon session opened shortly before o'clock the courtroom was only comfortably filled. A sprinkling of curious women lined the railing.
 Stokes chatted cheerly with his coun- sel. His collar had succumbed to the heat but not his poise.
 Detective on Stand
 For a quarter of an hour counsel wrangled as to the exact location of the bullet holes in the room where Stokes was wounded. That point settled, counsel for the two girls took up the manner in which the letters produced in evidence yester- day came into possession of the people. Josh Cummings, house detective of the Ansonia, testified that he delivered the letters to Mir. Gleason, of private counsel for MT. Stokes He had found them be- hind a trunk on floor of the closet of the varuna apartment house. Three detectives from the police force were with him.
 ''They let you rummage the apartment and take out what you wanted-take out those letters so that MT. Stoaes could censor them?" "They did '"
 '"They .secreted those letters?" "Yes. "
 You say you don't know how many let ters there were?' No" answered the de- tectiye.
 50 that, although nine letters have been produced here, there may have been many more?" "I don't know" was the an swer.
 Thereupon Judge Olcott, counsel fo, Stokes, volunteered the information that he'd had received 12 letters and teegrams
 Court was adjourned until 9:30 oclocl | tomorrow morning.

Blanco was 63 kilometers below his

would not wait longer for Blanco
than midnight, and If he did not ar
rive by that time he would move up

AT that time he will delive" his
