Although Gloria had professed that
she had no fear about being left with
the sick woman, when she said It she
had in mind only fear of being alone
in such a dismal lodging house and
fear that she might be called upon to
act as doctor and trained nurse both
were her patient to take turn for the
worse. Now. however. new thought
came to her. How was she to act?
What was she to do to amuse her!
She felt instinctively the antipathy
she had aroused She covered like a
lamb before this young she-wolf Of the
city. She was alone. defenseless. with
this creature that had SO far reverted
to type that she might rend and tear.
Even in a battle of wits. and that was
all there would be II the girl did not
ignore her entirely. Gloria felt her
self no match for this braxen child Of
misfortune. Her comparisons were
physical. but It was not physical
fear she felt. Sheltered inexperience
was pitted against the most cruel ex-
perience society could ever devise or
tolerate.
Gloria was mistaken in thinking that
Little Ella slept. After Mrs. Hayes
had left her she walked quietly back
to a chair by the bedside. On 1t lay a
cheap novel with which the sick wom-
an had been beguiling the time. She
picked It up and was turning the
pages casually when feeling stole
over her that she was being observed.
Putting aside the book, she found Lit.

Say, what'd you come here for?"

A sneer curled the sick woman's
lip, cynical sneer of disbelief.

that Gloria could find to answer.
THE woman what just went out?"
"Yes."
Feeling that she must do something
to end this catechism, Gloria hap

"A father. them? Isn't there some
one watching for you. hoping to see

Here was an attempt to awaken a
sentiment for the past which met
with no success. Little Ella replied
roughly:
They're watching at his house all

face wife OF his-so they can run out

This was something Gloria could

Now she could waive that point, but
the estrangement was beyond her.

WOMAN ESCAPES
HARM IN CRASH
Wagon Belonging to Hill Fur
niture Company Collides
With Bridge Line Car.

A young woman, whose name is not
known, had a narrow escape from
death or serious injury, when light
delivery wagon, the property OF the
Hill Furniture company, and a Bridge
line car collided at Sixteenth street
and Second avenue this noon.
The car had just started east on
Second avenue after stopping at Six
teenth street. AL Huber was driving
the wagon across the avenue toward
the south on Sixteenth street, and evil
IDENTIFY did not see the car. The fender
OF the car struck the rear end of the
wagon. turning it half way around to-
ward the sidewalk. A young woman
was crossing the street at the tim>
and the wagon stopped within a few
inches of her, and nearly tipped over,
but righted before it cached her. Had
the wagon tipped over it would have
fallen directly on her. The driver
jumped from the wagon and quoted
the frightened horse.
The rear axle of the wagon was bent
in and the wheel badly sprung. Only
the fender of the car was damaged.

mony of both witnesses be stricken
from the record, but the motion was
denied.
Before being interrogated on the
Camp Joy matter, Prosecutor Wood
quizzed Mrs. Manwaring on her knowl-
edge of the possession by Bruner of a
diamond ring belonging to Harry Man
waring. One Of the allegations in the
indictment is that Manwaring. after his
arrest in the summer of 1912, gave Bru-
ner valuable diamond ring for his re-
lease. This ring was later returned to
hirl-to escape detection, the state
saws.
Mrs. Manwaring declared she went
once to Bruner and asked to have the
ring returned, that it was relic of the
family's. having been found in a pocket
of his night shirt the night Mr.. Man
warnings father died, and for that rea-
son was very dear. The witness de-
clared that Bruner threw up his hands
declaring he was sick and tired of the
whole deal, then threatened her with
arrest for being nuisance.
Manwarins Poor Witness.
Her husband, Harry ManwaTing, was
the last witness of the Gay, and a very
poor one he proved to be for the state.
He was counted on to be one of the
star witnesses for the state. 1t appear
ed difficult for him to grasp the ques-
lions put him by the counsel and his
answers were jumbled and confused.
The state was attempting to prove tht
Manwaring was arrested twice, once on
a capias from the county court and it
was then that Bruner received the
ring. But neither head nor tail could
be derived from the evidence, which
strengthened the side of the defense
rather than the state. Manwaring i'm
piled that he had given the ring to
Bruner as a bond but that he had got
ten it back the next day.
Asked on cross examination by At

been seen at Camp Joy with Maud

Indiana Man Writes Mayor Elk
planning That He Is Desir-
Gus of Starting Road.

Mayor H. M. Schriver received a
communication from q. T. Sweeney,
Columbus, Ind, this morning, who
asked that official to advise him as to
the need of an interurban system in
this city and the probability of inter
esting moneyed men to form COM
pany here.
Mr.. Sweeney states that he has re-
Gently completed a system of interur-
ban transportation, which can be built
and operated at one-third of the pres
---lt cost of the average companies.
He further states that he is a di-
rector of an Indiana line and is looking
for a place where he can operate the
first road under the new system profit
ably He asked for advises as to how
the people in this city would take to
the proposition and offered to erect a
section of the line here, place car on
it, and demonstrate the saving of his
plan.
Mayor Schriver has not answered the
letter but will give it further consider

financiers here.

cry was effected through the conniv-
ance of the two defendants. Attorney
Wood declared to the court that his
purpose in Offering the testimony Of
the Camp Joy episode was to establish
proof that the friendship or associa-
ton between the sheriff and the woman
was of such a nature that it put the
official under an obligation which he
could meet in no other way than re-
lease from the states custody.
The alleged relationship occurred in
the summer of 1912. II was later in
the year, November IS, that an infor-
nation was filed in county court
against Maud Rush, charging her with
disorderly conduct. Magill is alleged
to have refused to prosecute the case
and to have later dismissed it.
In his arguments for the introduc-
tion of the evidence Wood claimed he
would show what the nature of Bru-
ner's friendship or association with
the woman was. The defense argued
that any such testimony was inmate
rial and wholly without foundation.
Attorney Kenworthy declared the plan
to introduce "slush" in the evidence
was done with no other purpose than to
darken the reputation of the defend
ants and was entirely foreign to the is
sue in this case He said it is natural
for any person to approach the states
attorney to seek advice as to the re-
lease from prison of a friend and that
il was folly to imagine a conspiracy to
use the courts in such a manner be-
tween the defendants. The court pre-
sented fair minded ANALYSIS of the sit
uation and distinguished between his
duties and those of the jury. In keep
ing --ithin the strict letter of the in
dictment, he asserted, and the promise
OF proof by the prosecution, he would
be obliged to permit the testimony,
but it was for the jury to determine
whether or not the facts to establish
proof, If any. Judge Graves preferred
TO use the word associate rather than
friend in this connection, and he pre-
sented a definition of each of the terms
to emphasize his point.
There But Once.
With the objection overruled Prose
cutor Wood was allowed to continue
his examination of Mrs. Manwaring at
the point where he had been interrupt,
ed The witness admitted she had seen
Bruner in company with Maud Rush at
Camp Joy.
How many times were they there,
to the best of your knowledge" the
prosecutor asked.
"Only once that know of"
What were the circun4- tances NJ

state then called TO the stand II. Full

ployed as a taxi driver. He declared
that he knew both Bruner and Maud

times, he answered about three. Full

the sheriff and the woman sit at ia
