More hens eggs are laid during the
months of March, April, May and
June than during the other eight
months of the year. Therefore the
greater number of eggs consumed
during the winter months are not
fresh laid.
Eggs are graded in storage accord
ing to size, color, weight and loca-
ton from which they are obtained.
The housewife usually has no re-
dress. She must take a chance on
obtaining the best.

Eggs are deficient in carbohy-
drates and therefore need to be eaten :
with starchy foods, bread, rice or !,
potatoes. But they contain much !.
nutriment in a concentrated form.
They are strengthening to, feeble per- {
sons and healthful for children. In
Vahds should be served with eggs not
more than two days old if possible.
Always break each egg separately
into cup. Then there will be no,
danger Of a bad one spelling the

which they append the corollary that
in this way only will Gifford's inno-
cence be established, though a wo-
mans name will be, forever black
ened!
On the morning of April 2, 1913,
a milkman, driving. along between
Albany and Troy, saw an empty au-
tomobile standing at the side of the
road. He found the cushions soaked
with blood, and in a ditch he discov-
cred the body of Frank ]. Clute, who
had been killed by three bullets fired
into the back of his head!
Clute, 25 years old, was the son of
an Albany liveryman.
Between and $50 on the evening
of April 1 other chauffeurs saw a
man approach Clute and hire the car
The next morning Clute's body was
found.
For nearly a year there was not a
cIeW to the assassin. The county au-
thorities were absolutely baffIed.
Then, one day in March of this
year, Workmen on the roof at the
home of Henry L. Boardman found
cIute's pooketbook. 1t contained the
chauffeur's license and other papers!
The money was missing!
Within a few days county detec-
tives had under surveillance Malcolm |
Clifford, Jr., 1S-year-old son of a rich |
manufacturer of Hudson, N. Y, a
short distance from Albany. In April |
young Clifford was arrested, lodged |
in prison and charged with the muir
der of Clute!
On the last day of March his father
gave him 500 to go to Hoosick and
attend a dance that evening, then to
a dinner and dance at the Troy City
Club on the evening on April 1.
Clifford went to the dance in Hoo
sick, went to Troy the next day, and
the evening of April 1 found him a
guest of Derrick L. Boardman, a boy

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-06-29

Clifford left them, saying he would
not attend the dinner, but would ar
rive later. About II o'clock he re-
Joined the other boys. They noticed
that his clothes were disordeFed and
mud-stained. He said he had been to
a fire. 1t is fact that there was
fire near the Boardman home at
about 1880 that evening.
Clifford was in good spirits at the
dance, and no one observed anything
unusual in his manner. After the
dance he went home with Derrick
Boardman. He occupied a bedroom
which has a window overlooking the
spot on the roof where CIute's wal
let was found! ...,-t
The murder was committed with
an automatic revolver of rs caliberl
After the discovery of the pocket
book, such a weapon was found in
a pawnshop at Northampton, Mass,
where Clifford had attended a private
school. .
A few days after the killing a glove
was found under foot bridge few
hundred feet from the scene. The
glove bore the mark Of store in New
York, where Clifford is known to have
had an account.
There are only two persons who
are reported to have seen the auto
mobile, with its two occupants, on
the death ride. One is a girl named
Mildred Thorne. She is said to have
told friends that Clute drove his car
up to the curb to speak to her and
that she saw his passenger a man
with a mustache. Clifford wore no
mustache. The girl has been miss
ing from Albany since shortly after
Gifford's arrest.
The other witness is Ethel Clute,
widow of the murdered man. She
is reported to have said that she saw ,
her husband driving through Albany
with his passenger on the fatal even
ing and waved her hand to him. She

Welsh injured himself in some mys-

Naturally. l was very much dis

battle
And while | was loafing around |

or all | discovered that Springer had
not come TO terms with Harry Pol
lock, manager OF Welsh. When the
match was postponed Pollock wanted
guarantee of more money. but
Springer would not make good.

Finally Foley and myself took %
hand in the game, and after several
stormy scenes we managed to bring
Pollock and Springer together. was
OF the opinion that they settled things
up all right. but still something
looked wrong and l began to get sus-
picious.
Springer kept telling me that my
guarantee was all right and that he
would live up to every clause in the
articles. When | demanded to see
the color OF his money he laughed
and said il was all right.
After | started to train | tried to
reason with the promoter. but he
