Mistaken for a Burglar.

According to further testimony at the
hearing. Stokes was set upon by two
japanese after he had left the apart
ments Of the girls and severely beaten
under the supposition that he was a
burglar.
The shooting created a great sensa-
ton. and was followed by hysterical
confessions, in which each girl en-
deavored to shoulder all the blame An
other phase of the case was the mys-
| FERROUS disappearance Of the bundle of
letters that had served as the bait to
lure the millionaire hotel man to the
girls apartments. These were alleged
to have been turned over to Stokes
detectives by the policeman guarding
the apartment

Conrad girl called him on the phone and
invited him to the apartment she shared
with Miss Graham, that she might re-
turn a packet Of letters he had written

On arriving at the apartments of the
women. Stokes alleges that they de-
manded $4,000 for the return OF the
letters. and that upon his refusal Miss
Graham threatened him with a revolver
Stokes says he again refused, and that
Miss Graham shot him twice before he
was able to wrest the weapon from her.

peared with another pistol and shot at
him several times, one bullet lodging
in the calf Of his left leg.

Graham and Ethel Conrad on the charge
of shooting w. E. d. Stokes, the multi
millionaire hotel man. The case will be
called in the criminal branch of the su-
preme court during the first part Of .--e
coming week.
Both girls are in town and express their
confidence in a speedy acquittal. MI.
Stokes refused to make a statement to-
day. but. judging from the activity in
the Office OF Assistant District Attorney
Buckner, who is to lead the prosecution,
strenuous efforts will be made to secure
q conviction.
Detectives have been working on the
case since the hearing OF the girls last
summer, and IL is expected that some
sensational testimony viii come to light.

cllned TO outline the defense. but init

PhonoaraphIo Postcards.

Sending little love messages or
snatches Of love songs by postcard
to be translated by your sweetheart's
photograph is the latest development
in the picture postcard craze. On the
back Of the postcard is a small record
resembling the regular disc records
used on some machines. 1t is a very
thin film pasted on the card and con-
tanning some phrase of tender senti-
ment or a bit Of some popular music.
The card has a hole in 1t SO that 1t
may be placed on the machine and
when this is done the needle makes
he card talk and the one to whom
1t was e gets the message. The
idea was born In Germany, but the
foreign buyers of the American stores
this winter are said to have bought
up about all the German makers
could turn out.
