Special Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, April 10, 1913.
The trial of Norman Bruce McCleary
for the murder of Mrs Mamie B.
Henry is nearing the point where the
court will have to pass upon the i'm
portant contention of the defense that
the confession McCleary is alleged to
have made should be excluded as evil
dence on the ground that the methods
used to obtain it were highly improper
and that at the time the confession
was signed the defendant was mental
ly irresponsible as d result of the or
deals to which he had been subjected.
All of the evidence as to the meth
DDS is in, and late yesterday afternoon
the defense rested so far as the pres
entation of evidence as to McCleary's
mental condition is concerned. The
prosecution yesterday afternoon began
the introduction of testimony in an
effort to break down the case made
out by the defense as to McCleary's
mental responsibility, but had ex-
amined but one witness. Deputy Sheriff

especially attracted by the theater as a
local institution, and the name of Mrs
Christian Hemmick as the presenting
sponsor recalled previous successes in
much the same field. The fact that it
was for the benefit Of the Neighborhood
House gave the presentation an element
of serious interest. The personal note
was by no means lacking. 1t was ex-
pressed not only in applause. but in a
deluge of flowers. Every one of the CO.
stars had many friends and admirers in
the audience when the play began and
more when it was over.
Mr.. PeZetS play is study of lights
and shades, lights which do not glare
with exaggerated comedy and shades
which seek no depths Of tragic gloom.
1t is a play of youth and young people.
an analysis of sentiment and ambition
and hope as they are illumined by the
softened sunshine of the carly day.
There are dashes of cynicism, to be
sure, but it is the cynicism OF modesty
which strength and confidence call
upon for. reminder of the possibilities
of hardship and failure lest they be-
come too bold. An excellent grasp OF
the principles of play structure is
shown. and the dialogue is briskly
natural.
The cast presents a series of figures
of current interest moved by mental
and moral Influences as old as human
nature itself. The gentle, impecunious
head of family gave Mr. Robert Ell
more an opportunity to revive memo
ries of Col. Newcombe Mrs Raleigh.
whose hopes and ideals are based ,on
the death of a relative from whom
large legacy is expected. was played
with quaint and quiet effectiveness by
Miss Elizabeth HOwry.
Miss Ethel Lee contributed the drolI
and irresistible vivacity. Yet graceful vi
vacity which is welcome characteristic
of her appearances, to the part of the
financee, whose sense of humor preserves
her from danger of a broken heart. Theo-
dore Roberts portrayed ihe youth of the
period. whose financial operations. at
first ridiculed, proved the salvation Of
the family treasury when the reading
of the will discloses the fact that the rich
relation has ignored this branch of the
Raleishs. Mrs Robert Hinckley con-
tributed graceful repose to the patri-
clan lady who on the program goes by the
name of Mrs. Stephen Carleton, and the
cXactinS role of the young novelist who
through the influence of sincere unself-
fish affection is brought to a clearer I'M
derstanding of his own better nature was
excellently interpreted by the author
himself
The central influence in the story is
the character of Constance Raleigh.
whose sweet and genial fortitude sus-
tains the family spirit in adversely and
whose talents for literature. secretly
exercised. provide the small capital
that brings about better fortune. 1t
was played by Miss Elizabeth Moves,
whose simple sincerity of manner.

will take accident and death risks on
aviators at "a low rate" the exact rate

small, being $50 day for accidents and
up to $500 for deaths. Both abroad and
in this country the insurance companies
have refused to insure aviators at any
price. and at Lloyds in London. where
one can get insurance on anything. the
rate has been SO high as to be prohibi-

Decision Expected Monday.

The prosecution is expected to con-
clude its testimony soon after court con-
venes Monday morning as to the defend
ants mental condition, and the decision
of the court as to the admissibility Of the
confession is looked for during the day.
Great interest is felt in the decision of
the court on that point. it is generally
regarded as being of vital Importance to
both sides
1t was testified yesterday that the
night immediately preceding the signing
of the confession McCleary made noises
so loud and weird as to keep all the other
prisoners in the Jail awake the entire
nignt: that immcdia tely before being
taken downstairs at the time of the con-
fesson he set fire to blankets in his cell
and was highly excited and declared that
wild animals were after him, and that
for the entire night and the greater part
of the next day following the confession
he spent the time pacing up and down
his cell corridor. fighting ina inary frogs
and other objects with pillows and towels
pleading repeatedly with Shiny Fridinger

ever, was not near-to take me out; YOU
promised to take me out and l am ready"

from going at greater rate of speed
than twelve miles was being broken con-
stantly. and that many motorists thought
nothing Of going as fast as twenty-five
or thirty mites an hour within the city
limits.
One school teacher at the Franklin
School explained that unusual care was
exercised i'm guarding the children at re-
cess, but declared she did not think IT
was fair for motor vehicles to go UP and
down 18th street in front of the school

Cross Street to Play.
when we start to take the children
across the street to the park, where
they play during recess, one of the teach
ers always heads the line and another
brings up the rear. We look very care
fully before crossing the street.
But any number of reckless automo-
blists drive both up and down the nil
at a high speed, constantly endangering
the lives of the children. The last thing
before these children leave the room each
day for recess or to go home 1 warn
them to be careful in crossing the
streets. But it cannot do the greatest
possible good when so many drivers
speed up and down around the school
Il think a man in citizens clothes
should be used to catch these people who
do not seem to care for safety. The mo-
ment policement appears the automo-
blist slows down and, of course, the
policeman has no grounds for a case.
Many other complaints have been made
from time to time about the speed at
which motor vehicles are driven past
some of the schools.
Laws Governing Speed.
The laws governing the speed of We
hicles as given in the new traffic regula-
tons in addition to the law making the

miles hour.
Section 3;l-A driver passing into cir
