MAY SELL ANCIENT
 DUNDEE MONUMENT

London July 2.-The statement of Sir Cosmo Antrobus. owner of Stone henge, that he will consider the sale of the old Druidic monument apart from the surrounding estate, has re- vived the scheme for it's purchase. As the oldest human monument in Eng land, Stonehenge has always appeal ed to popular imagination. But ow- ing to the drain on the public purse in war charities, it is questionable whether sufficient money could be raised now.
 Tn 1905, the owner of the Stone henge of that time refused $5O,000 for the roadways leading to it, which he had obstructed. This offer was made by the F'ootpath's Preservation Society. The new law of 1913, which enables the authorities to prevent the Adestruetion of historic monuments. makes the work of purchase mulch easier than 2rR9ore, if the money can. be raised.

 After you made this affidavit Saf- charged, wasn't he?'' he asked.
 '1dtt1eton popped to his feet, his face red with anger.
 t'I protest emphatica1ly against this gross breach of conduct on the part of opposing counse1,7 he said. "Just he was caught, and was irritated be- cause of that, he asks a highly i'm proper question. and protest strong 1y against such tactics.
 eff it were not that am in a hurry to finish this case would ask that your honor withdraw a juror and de- clare this a mistrial. As it is, I want ton; want to rebuke counsel for having asked that question, and ask your honor to rebuke him strongly
 Judge Gordon Russell, before whom the case is being tried in the United States District Court, directed the never asked.
 One of the chief witnesses of the day was William J. Kinsley, hand writing expert, who has figured in many famous trials. MT. Kins1ey, called by the prosecution, is regarded by the defence as one of it's best wit nesses.
 Testimony by Expert
 Two private letters and twenty three checks written by James W. Os- borne were put into evidence. On di- rect exa imitation Mir KiDs1Av syvuore that MT. Osborne's writingS as proved by these documents, is not the writing on the registry card of the Kensing- ton Hotel. MT. Littleton then cross examined MT. Kins1ey.
 MT. Kinsley said he could not tell whether the man who signed the registry slip was the same man who handed to James w. Osborne and Mrs. Osborne the letter ''exonerating' James W. of Rae Tanzer's charges,

Safford's expenses and David Slade gave Stafford $15 and paid a $15 tadcab bill. David Shade also gave Darling S19, the witness testified.
 Post Office Inspector Swain was the next witness. He said he was in court on March 24, when Stafford identified James W. Osborne. Be- fore Stafford took the stand, the wit ness testified, Stafford and McCul- tough entered the crowded court room and Mccullough pointed James W. out to Stafford. He said 1naInedi- ate1y afterward he saw David S1ade talk to Mccullough, who then went out into the corridor with Stafford, where they remained until Stafford was called to the stand.
 It was Swain and Mayhew, who brought O. Bacon's trunks to the Fed era1 Building and MT. Lit1eton ex- amined Swain with great t1cularty regarding his movements in connec- ton with these trunks, failing to shake his story, which has been pub isheN. Swain swore he never had heard of Mrs. Denham, in whose house the trunks were found, until after Rae Tanzer was arrested.

 TO SLAOES' TRIAL
LittIeton RebukeS Wood and Court Backs Him Up by
 Ruling Out Question.

New York, July 2.-TFve minutes be- fore the close of yesterdays session of the trial of David and Maxwell Shade and their investigator, Albert J. MIG Culough, indicted for conspiracy to obstr1ct justice in connection with the charge against Rae Tanzer of misuse of the malls, there was so serious an argument between counsel that it threatened to disrupt the trial.
 Post Office Inspector Howard A. Mayhew was on the stand and Mar tin w. Littelton had been asking him about an affidavit he had made charg- former clerk at the Hotel Kensington, Pladnfeld, N. J., who identified James w. Osborne as the man who regis tered at that hotel on October Is last iwth Rae Tanzer as o. Osborne and Mrs. o. Osborne. The affidavit was signed on April 2, the day. before Saf- ford was arrested. ~
 Did you know of your own knowl- edge whether Stafford was gudlty of perjury2'' Mr. Idttleton asked.
 I did not" answered Mayhew.
 Then why did you sign this afHda-
 Roger B. Wood instructed me to- said the witness.
 Mr- Wood is the Assistant United States Attorney now prosecuting the Shades, and a broad smile spread across Mir Lftt1eton's features as he began to probe little further. Question Ruled Out.

nor would he say whether the man who signed the registry slip wrote the letter which Rae Tanzer says Oliver Osborne handed. to her.
 There are some characteristics which are the same in both letters said the witness, land each sample has some characteristics which are not present in the other sample, but there are not enough present or ab- sent to determine whether the same man wrote both.'
 As the defence contends that Rae Tanzer's sweetheart had some one else write his letters for him, this is highly important
 Nor would MT. Kins1ey say that the writing in the letters produced by Helen Kaiser and Blanche Ungar was the same as that on the hotel regis try slip
 .ewou1d you say that a man or a woman wrote these letters?' asked MT. IittIeton.

 Immediately afterward the court adjourned to room 227 in the Federal Building, where the hearings before Commissioner Houghton in the case against Rae Tanzer were held. Will liam M. Darling, Safford's friend, !, who says he located Stafford for the Shades, took the stand.
 In Court With Stafford
 Darling said he accompanied saf- ford into court the day the latter picked JamesEW. Osborne as Rae Tanzer's escort At first before Saf- ford took the stand, he said he was not sure wether James W. was the
 
 fendant Mccullough and Darling walked to the end of the corridor and when Stafford was called he 1den- tffied James w.
 He described the movements. of himself and Stafford after the hear ing; how Stafford hid in. local and Long Island hotels, saying he had trouble with his wife and that his coming into the nmeliglnt might stir her to action. Mccullough paid all
