NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Miss
Bessie Mccoy is going back 10
the stage. She cannot resist the
call. When she became the wife
of Richard Harding Davis, novel,
ist and war correspondent, last
July, the "Yama Yama Girl de-
clared she would never, never
care for the theater again. But
today she has changed her mind.
Il most certainly intend to re-
turn to the STAGE" said Mrs. Da-
Wis over the telephone from her
husbands home at Mount Klsco,
N. Y.
II have never been able to be-
lieve that woman's work should
consist only in milking cows or
feeding chickens, and so / am go
ing back to do some real work.
l expect to work for only short
seasons and each year I shall re-
turn to my husbands home to
finish my COW milking, chicken
feeding education"
Mr.. Davis assured the reporter
that 1t was against his wishes that
Mrs Davis was returning.

there, he added insult to injury

The baron wears a monacle.
After twirling the small glass eye

this shot the baron settled him

Judge Glasgow asked that the
jury be dismissed while he IN
formed the court as to his mo-
tive in disclosing the conversa-
tion held between Perry and
Taylor.
"I wish to show that Taylor
went to Perry three weeks ago
for advice and that Perry asked
him If he were afraid to go on
the witness stand" said Glasgow.
Taylor then told him, Perry,
you don't know the position / am
in. You don't know how Ten
nant has beaten ME till he left
a big mark on my head, and
that l have suffered all the tor
lures of hell. | am afraid to

I can"
Judge Clifford sustained the
states objection to this test1-
mony on the grounds that it was
not material to the trial or Peter
Miller on a charge of burglary.
Glasgow attempted to cite su-
preme court decisions in the for
mer trials of Miller. This was
also refused.
Practically the only pom,
scored by the defense today was
the testimony of severaI witnesses
that Taylor had told them ne had
not gone to the rooms OF Miller
with Tenant and other officers
when the rooms were searched
and burglars equipment found
there. Taylor swore on the
stand that he had gone with the
officers.
