ANNUAL BANN0CKBURN
GOLF TOURNEY STARTS
High Wind Prevents Excellent
Scores in First Days
Play.

The annual fall tournament of the BAN
nockburn Golf Club got under way this
morning and play in the qualification
round will continue through the day
Despite the fact that the course is in
perfect condition. the scores made in this
mornings play were not very good. \
brisk wind which is sweeping over the
links is largely responsible for this and
has cost many a stro ke by blowing the
ball out of the course to the rough
The qualification round is at eighteen
holes. necessitating two rounds. as Ban
nockburn is a nine hole course. The
players were not paired and were allowed
to go around with whom they liked and
whenever they liked, the only restriction
being that all cards must be turned in
by e o'clock.

Woman Heard Two Screams.

Another witness for. the government
was Mrs. Frances Hooper Of Toledo.
Ohio, who lived across the street from
Milano's shop at the time the murder is
alleged to have taken place. Mrs. Hooper
said that she heard two screams. She
went to the front of her home, and saw
a man in the rear of the shoe shop. he
man then came to the front of the shop,
she said, and stood on the steps.
She then said the man chased two
small boys who were playing in the
street in front of the shop
At this point in her testimony Mrs.
Hooper was asked by Assistant United
States Attorney Hawken if she could
identify the man who stood on the steps
of the shop.
THAT is he,'' said Mrs. Hooper, point
ing to MilanO, who was seated BEHIND ms
counsel. Miiano fidseted and co!ored
perceptibly when Mrs. Hooper pointed to
him.
The defendant all during the day kept
his eyes conferred on the witnesses.
Purchased Kerosene, Says Witness.
Myrtle Buchanan, a clerk in a grocery
store at 4th street and Massachusetts
avenue northwest, testified that the night
in question about o'clock the little
daughter of Milano purchased a bottle of
kerosene from her.
Policeman C. d. Benton told of having
discovered fire in Milano's shoe shop
early the next morning.
Benton said he burst into side door
of the shop. but found that the fire had
gained so much Roadway that he was I'M
able to extinguish it. Then, he said, he
called the firemen. He then told OF the
discovery by fireman of the body of a
child, which later was ldentined as that
Of Harry Smith.
Frank Helmuth, a. member of engine
No. &, said that he responded to the alarm
and extinguished the flames. Helmuth
said he discovered the body of a child
and. said he saw spots of blood covered
with papers.
Following adjournment of court for the

ference with his attorneys, former United
States Attorney Baker and James r.

Tense cannot prove an alibi the plea will
be insanity.
