employed McCleary at different times
during the summer. Mr.. Gaylor test1-
fed that he had given McCleary be-
tween $40 and $25 for work done dur
ing July and August This testimony

Mrs Henry after she was dead.

devoted to hearing testimony of physi-
clans placed upon the stand by the de-
Tense. That Mrs Henry did not die of
throttling, as testified to by physicians for

Wagaman, John f. Loughlin and DR..
Campb bell. who also swore that the au-
topsy showed that Mrs. Henry had been

was made by Norman b. McCleary today
when he was called to the witness stand
during his trial for the alleged murder
of Mrs Mamie B. Henry of HagerstoWn
Md, August II last. large part OF
McCleary's testimony was in the nature
of an alibi and corroborated that given by
Miss Pearl Wiley yesterday. He said he
was with the young woman on the night
If the alleged murder until nearly l.
o'clock.
According to McCleary's testimony, he
did not go into the house after the early
part of the evening when the murder was
alleged TO have been committed. He went
to the house on the Saturday following
the alleged murder. the accused man said.
but said he went away without going in
when no one answered his ring.
In explanation of the curious way IN
which the prosecution asserted he had
written Miss Henry's Washington adj

manner in which he had written it in the
letter to her mother-i.e.. 7O2 n. w. II st.
-McCleary testified that he had copied II

NEW PLAN AT HOSPITAL.
District to Collect From Pay Pa
tents at St. Elizabeth.

A new system for handling the ac
counts of pay patients committed in the
Government Hospital for the Insane by
the District of Columbia Commission
ers has been adopted by order of the
commi ssioners. Hereafter. the District,
it is announced. will make all collec-
tons on account of this class of pa
tients. Formerly the collections were
made by the hospital authorities.
The new arrangement was agreed to
.at a recent conference between Auditor
Alonzo TweedaIe and representatives of
the hospital and board of charities. 1t
is believed that the plan to have the
District pay for all patients and there
after collect from the estates of those
who have such will avoid friction and
misunderstanding, and be to the interest
of both the hospital and the local gov
eminent.

FASHIONS OF THE FUTURE.
Russian Stage Artist Will Show
Women s Garb in 1925.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
PARIS. April .. 1913
NJ. Leon Bakst. the Russian artist who
is engaged i'm staging NJ. Debussys new
ballet, Les JeuX.' the action of which
takes place in 1928. declares his intention
of presenting on the stage the feminine
fashions which he imasnes will be in
vogue twelve years hence.
Modern woman. according to Nj. Bei.st.
sacrifices everything to her face. Orna-
ments are used much too soberly. Art sis
should therefore develop the ornaments
ton. of the female figure.
AS ornamentation should be simple
rhythm which explains itself, its essen
tial rules may be taken from geometry.
Lines. angles and fixed curves concerted
and repeated will form the craft of the
new ornament artist.
This appears to suggest fashions on the
lines of ancient Egyptian art.
