 The district attorneys wife has been q patron of Dr. Malfix. who is sentenced to 15 years in prison, the former discovers. A particularly af- fecting scene is that in which he or ders his wife and her social parasites out of his house, after he has asked her the great. question, Where Are Ny Children?" The question does not concern his earthly children, but those he had been cheated of by his wife's desire for the existence of a butter fly. The picture opens with a show ing of the souls of the little children on their way to earth. Some are seen to be welcomed gladly, while others are forced to return to their home above, an the souls of the district at torney's children.

ROY HINTERLITER SAYS HE IS
BEING MADE 1.-THE GOAT"
OIney, Ill.,, July 27.-Denying abso-
lutely that he was the sweetheart of
Elizabeth Radcliffe or that he had
anything to do with her death, Roy
Hinterliter, held in the county Jail
without bond on the charge of muir
der, says he was brought into the
affair as the goat" to bear the bur-
den of another's guilt.
His defense will be that it was not
he, but another, who was responsible
for the girls condition; that the two
letters he received, one from the girl
begging him to come to her, and the
other from a friend of the girl, were
simply decoy letters dictated by the
man responsible for her condition.
Hinterliter, whose wealthy parents
have employed counsel to fight for
his freedom, repeats the story that
the girl complained Of faintness
while they were riding and toppled
over in his arms.
The state, however, declares the
girl was dead before she was placed
in the buggy. They say she was
killed under an elm tree on the rock
road two miles south Of town in an
effort to perform an abortion.

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS OF SADDLE
CLUB TO BE TESTED
The rights of the Saddle and Cycle
club to the exclusive use of the lake
shore abutting it's ground will be
made the matter Of a court test. At
torhey Felix J. Streyckmanns, rep
resenting the family of Willie Ulrey,
who was fatally wounded by the
shears thrown by the clubs garden
er, will fight the club.
Streyckmanns received advice yes
terday from a lake short property
owner that under the old sailors
law" any one has the privilege any,
where Of walking along the beach.
The silk-stocking directorate of
the club disputes this right. They
contend no one but members of the
club has any right to step foot on
the beach in front of the clubhouse.
It was when Vlrey and several boy
companions came out of the lake,
because two of the boys were tired
and had to be assisted from the wa
ter, that Nicholas Mega threw the
shears that later caused WiIie's
death from lockjaw.

is done in the case regardless of the

a justification of the clubs exclu-
sive right to the beach.
