Assemblyman ''Cy" Cummings, long

Then Fisher and a number of his
friends went to the Columbia Country

These proceedings followed the -dra-

Delayed by slow travel on the New

dent Wilson reached Washington this
morning about u:S0-two hours behind
schedule time.
SO anxious was the President to get
to his office at the White House that
instead OF stopping at the mansion to
freshen up he ordered the chauffeur to
drive directly to the door OF the Execu-
tive wing of the building.
He wore a heavy coat of tan, and
as he alighted from the automobile his
cherry greeting to the policemen on
guard and his springy step told OF the
benefit he had received from his brief
rest. He was accompanied by DR.. Cary
Grayson, u. 8. N. the White House
physician, and Secret Service men, and
wore a white linen suit.
Waiting for him in the outer Office
was Chairman Underwood OF the House

In another moment the girl said,
Altdorfer made a quick jump at Fisher,

She said that Altdorfer had terrible

He told the court the details were
such as TO make her story embarrass-

Peter.
The court held that the girl need not
tell of the attacks Of drunken foster

led up TO the killing.
She swore that Altdorfer threatened,
