Grilled by Attorneys
For Show Girls

NEW YORK, Nov. 29,-The attorneys
for the snow girls, Lillian Graham ana
Ethel Conrad, expected to finish their
cross-examination of w. L. d. Stokes to-
day. Stokes is the complainant at the
trial of the girls for attempted murder
and their counsel is trying to prove that
when they shot him at Miss Graham s
apartment last June they fired in self
defense.
The cross-eXamlnation Of the wealthy
hotel man thus far has been mainly an
attack on his character and an effort to
show that in the case of Miss Graham
he was the pursuer and not as Stokes,
intimated, the pursued.
Tho cross-examinatlon probed relent-
lessly into the relations between Stokes
and Miss Graham until some of the
women got up and left the court room
and the Graham girl sister, Mrs. Alice
Andrews, sobbed aloud,
Stokes was questioned further about
the time he spent at his stock farm near
Lexington, KY, where Ass Graham Wis

Fleming'S Testimony
is Damaging to DR.,
Hyde's Defense

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nov. 29.-Cross-
examination Of stuart Fleming, nephew
Of the late Colonel Thomas II. swope.
for whose alleged murder Or. h. Clark
Hyde is now on trial, was resumed by
Attorney Walsh for the defense today
The big feature Of Flemlngs testimony
that DR.. Hyde's attorneys would break
down, is the story that the accused ply
sician went to Fleming and asked to be
made an administrator of the Swope es-
tate. 1t had been previously testified in
this trial by Miss Pearl Kel,ar, Colonel
Swope's nurse that DIR. Hyde also sought
her aid in the same matter She gave
similar testimony at the first trial and
Dr. Hyde on the witness stand denied
emphatically the nurses statement. Flem-
ing was not a witness in the former hear
ing, and the states main purpose in in
PRODUCING him this time is to corroborate
Miss Kellar's statement. This testimony
is intended TO help prove DR.. Hyde killed
Colonel Swope, to swell Mrs. Hyde's in
heritance.
Efforts of the defense to break down
the testimony Of Fleming were futile.
After an hour on the stand he was ex-
cused and Mrs. J. X. Baumanp, formerly
Miss Anne Houlihan, who nursed Christ
man Swope, was called. The defense inn
mediately objected to the testimony as
not being connected with the death OF
Colonel Swope. The jury was dismissed
while arguments upon the point were
made
Attorney Walsh had just begun to speak
when two shots rang out from the court
house yard just below the window of the
court room. 1t developed that negro
laborer had been shot and fatally
wounded by a policeman after he had re-
sisted arrest and thrown pepper in the

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

81 have suffered from the same troT-
BILE (painful finger nails) at different
periods Of my life. The first time Of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
tiSn and suppuration began at the
base Of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that I had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of inflammation, possibly not more
than week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.

them a prescription from doctor of

not a permanent cure; next tried
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that could not use it.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as / could. had not
used it but few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
