evening of the murder, the stage is
darkened for few moments, then
the lights, returning, show the Trask
home, reveal its domestic conditions,
and the courtroom is, shown for the
close of the act.
The same plan is followed in the
two succeeding acts: In the second
act the murderer's little girl takes the
stand to tell the story of events in
her home which led to the crime, and
they are then actually shown. In the
third act the wife of the slayer is the
witness, and the courtroom dissolves
into events that took place Is years
before and which laid the foundation
of the tragedy.
The play ends with the acquittal
of the murderer under the "unwrit-
ten law" The story of the crime and
its causes is a sordid and repulsive
one, and, had it been presented in
ordinary form, it is doubtful whether
it would have had chance.
The cast is perfect, with Frederick
Perry, Frederick Tuesdell, Mary Ryan
and Helen Lackaye in the leading
roles. Constance Wolf, as the muir
derer's little girl, gives a remarkable
performance.

GERMANS CLAIM BELGIANS'
TREATMENT WAS AWFUL
New York, Aug. 2o.-Replying to
the charges of inhumanity on the
part of Germans in the ward toward
Belgians, the German consul gen.
eral here today issue dthe following
statement:
''The behavior of the Belgian civil
ians, women as well as men, toward
German soldiers and the German
hospital corps is best set forth in the
Koelnische Zeitung, one of the lead
ing newspapers in Germany, which
has just reached here. 1t carries the
following from a noted German army
surgeon:
Here in Belgium we experienced
treatment by the Belgian civilians,
men, women and half-grown boys,
which we never experienced before,
even while fighting the negroes in
our colonies. Civilians shot from
every house, from every bush. In the
first few days many of our men were
wounded or killed by civilians snipilg
from everywhere, and the women
were as active as were the men,"
DAY before yesterday Belgians
killed a German by cutting his
throat while he was asleep in house.
A house used by us as hospital was
flying the Red Cross flag. In the
evening we put there five wounded
German soldiers. The next morning
all five were found stabbed to death.
Yesterday, morning while passing
through a small village near Verviers
we found one of our soldiers with his
hands tied behind his back and his
eyes were put out"
