shipments from nearby towns we're

about Seven Keys to Baldpate," the
mystery farce presented at the Ma

sized audience for the joke that George
NJ. Cohan plays on his audience might
well be termed objectionable.
Seven Keys to Baldpate" is a story
within a story. Billy Magee goes to
Baldpate, summer hotel, in the dead
of winter; upon his arrival he receives
from the caretaker the "only" KEY to to
Baldpate. Magee goes to this lonely
spot for the purpose of writing a

of the inn that he can turn out a 10000

place the owner of the inn designates.

visitors yesterday. Mrs. Carman yes
terday held final conferences with her

intention, For both sides forty-three
witnesses are under subpoena for ap-
pearance to-day, but it is believed
that the jury box will not be filed be-
fore Tuesday afternoon.
Distributes Trlnkets
Before leaving her cell to enter the
courtroom, Mrs. Carman handed many
trinkets to the matron and requested
that they be distributed among the
other prisoners. The men and women
in the jail shouted good luck" as she
passed their cells. She was dressed in
the blue tailormade suit that she wore
when she appeared at the inquest in
Freeport
The talesmen, besides the customary
questions, were asked whether they
would consider NE testimony of
negro as they would that of a white
person-Celia Coleman, the Carman
maid at the time of the murder and
now one of the States star witnesses
is a negress-and whether the fact
that the defendant was a woman of
