BY A WOMAN AVIATOR

Hampstead. N. Y, Sept. s.-Miss
Matilda Moisant, sister of the dead
aviator, John b. Moisant, ascended In
her monoplane here this afternoon to
a. height of nearly 1000 feet. This Is
believed to be the greatest altitude
ever reached by woman aviator.
The flight was made In n puffy wind
which impelled other aviators to ad-
wise Miss Moisant not to make the
attempt.
Miss Moisant volplaned to earth
from height Of 500 feet and made a
pretty landing.

to the jury. Only passing attention
was given by Mr.. Wendenburg to the
purchase Of the gun by Paul Beattie,
u cousin of the accused.
The defense had asserted, he said.
that on Paul's story alone was built
the case of the prosecution, but he
held aloft the bloodstained clothing of
the prisoner, "as the mute evidence of
the crime" and asked.
DO you want any other eyidence?"
Blood flecked the lower part of the
shirt. In deep black blots: not a mark
was on either sleeve OF shirt or coat.
The prisoner had declared that he
held his dead wife with one hand and
steered his car with the other, but
the absence of blood on the arms, the
prosecutor declared. gave the lie to
his story. Not alone with the clothing
did the prosecutor disentangle what
he termed the cheapest fabrication OF
the cheapest murder" but he shouted
shame at the prisoner for his relations
with a girl of the age OF IS years,
until within his own married life, and
held her forth as the motive for the
crime
And the prisoner admits that II
was his passion" said Wendenburg.
Yes, II was passion, but passion born
of the devil and passion that sent to
death his wife so that he might con :

A Fantastic Pilgrimage.

fantastic pilgrimage OF 1900 persons,
mostly women, under the leadership
of Heliodorus, startled the entire Vol

The objective of the pilgrimage was
the Sarov desert. where are the relics
of st. Seraphlm. The emperor and
the empress made pilgrimages to Sarov
