MRS. HOWELL AGAIN SWEARs
She SAW FATAL SHOT FIRED
(Cont;nus-I from Page u

The exact position of the automobile
in which she was riding at the house
on North Jackson street was also
rather indefinite in Mrs. Howsll's mind
as developed under cross examination.
After the noon recess taken until
2:30 o'clock Frank Hooper, for the de-
tense, moved to exclude the testimony
CT Miss Gertrude Smith in regard to
the delivery of the package contain
ing the alleged Wade pistol.
Before the jury returned to the
courtroom after the noon recess,
Judge Hixon announced to the court
that the stationery on which the note
was written with the gun was from
the Windsor Hotel, and that the towel
was also from the Windsor. He an
nounced to his honor that Mrs. w. /.
Johnson, wife of one of the indicted
men, was working at the hotel.
The various articles found belonging
to Wade and the car were introduced
by the state, and they rested their
case.
At 2:45 o'clock w. P. Wallis began
outlining the case of the defense, and
they will proceed with their testimony
A Juror a Witness.
Several witnesses were examined
during the late afternoon yesterday
among them being W. T. Patton, who is
member of the jury which will rem
der a verdict for or against DR.. Chap
man.
The calling of Mr.. Patton as a wit
ness while at the same time he is or
the trial jury, created something of
sensation in the court room, but the
evidence was admitted and now forms
part of the states evidence against
DR.. Chapman.
MIR. Patton swore that several day;
after the finding of Wade's body, at
was in DR.. Chapman's dental office
and saw the dentist oiling a pistol. DR.
Chapman, according to Mr.. Patton, de-
clared that he had been accused o.
the murder of Wade and threatened t.
kill anybody who tried to arrest him
Mr.. Patton was a witness for the
state at the first trial of DR.. Chap
man, testifying to the same incident.
r. E. Price, deputy sheriff at the
time of the Wade killing, testified or
the stand that he was in the vicinity o
the Wheatley bottom. where the muir
Ger is alleged to have been committed
on the fatal night. He said he heard
two shots in the bottom and heard
car stop, then start again.
F. G. Beavers testified to having
been on the Andersonville road on the
right of August II, 1916, in the vicin
ity of the Wheatley bottom. He heard
two shots, he declared, and noticed g
cloud of dust as though a car were
ahead of him, but after passing the
tottom he saw no more dust, conclud
ing that the car had turned off the
main road.

There is a world of being,
We range from pole to pole,
Through the seasons of the spirit
And the weather of the SOUL
1t has it's newborn Aprils
With gladness in the air;
It's golden June and raptures,
It's winters of despair.
And in tranquil autumns
We halt to reinforce
Our tattered scarlet pennons
With valor and resources.
From undiscovered regions
Only the angels know
Great winds of aspiration
Perpetuality blow.
To free the sap of impulse
From terror of distrust,
And into flowers of joyance
Quicken the sentient dust.
From nowhere of a sudden
Loom sudden clouds of fault,
With thunders of oppression
And lightnings of revolt.
With hush Of apprehension
And quaking of the heart,
There breed the storms of anger.
And foods of sorrow start.
And there shall fall-how gently
To make them fertile yet,
The rain of dissolution
On acres of regret
Till SHOWS of mercy cover
The dream that shall come true,
When time makes all things wondrou
And life makes all things new.

BILL TO ESTABLISH
HOME GUARD is HEARD

Hartford March 3.--A bill drawn
up by Lawyer Benedict M. Holden Of
Hartford and providing for a military
organization made up of ex-soldiers
and sailors and men over the maxi
mum military age to defend the state
of Connecticut in case OF any internal
disorder while the national guard was
in active service, was given a hearing
by the committee on military affairs
Thursday afternoon.
Adjutant General George M. Cole
was present at the hearing and spoke
in favor Of the bill as far as his official
capacity would allow him. The COM
mittee was obviously interested in the
bill and may report favorably either
on the present bill or substitute bill
providing for a similar organization
with the same purpose.
Lawyer Holden said that he was
prompted tosdraw the bill by expert
ence he had had when riots threaten
ed the city Of Waterburys He was
acting. he said, as a private indi-
vidual and not as the representative
OF vested interests or capitalists, say
ing that he was as much in sympathy
with organized labor as the next man,
but believed that in the time Of a ma
tional crisis, there was not time to
talk to the civilian seeking wages to
be increased from Sc to So a day while
men were bleeding and dying In
trenches for about $3.50 a MONTH"

sTUFFING FOR PEPPERS

There is nothing SO pleasing to per-
sons who cook than dish that not
only tastes good, but looks well when
served.
Although green peppers have all
ways appealed to me as being very
pretty and tempting. it has been just
recently that I discovered an appetite
ing way Of preparing them.
My discovery Is called Shredded
Goldfish, Creole, in Green Peppers.
You cut green peppers in halves
lengthwise, remove the seeds, cover
With boiling water and let cook ahn''t
half an hour or until tender. Cook
half an onion, chopped fine. in two
tablespoonfuls of butter until soften
ed and yellowed; add a tablespoonful
of finely chopped parsley, mix and
add two tablespoonfuls of flour and
stir and cook until frothy, then add
cup of tomato puree and, If at hand,
teaspoonful of grated horseradish,
and stir and cook until boiling. Cover
one cup Of Shredded Goldfish with cold
water; at once wiring dry Gin cloth)
fill the halves Of peppers. Put a Ia
blespoonful of grated chees on the top
of the mixture in each pepper. Set on
squares of toast spread with butter.
Serve at once.
You will find this is a very tasty
but inexpensive dish. The Shredded
Goldfish, which is the main ingredient
Of the stuffing, costs only 10 cents a
box A box makes plenty for five per-
sons. III. 4.

LITTLE OPPOSITION TO
BILL FOR OPENING OF
FACTORY DOORS OUTWARD

Hartford March 3.-Senator John
AZ. O'Connell OF Bridgeport told the
committee on public health and safe
~ Thursday that the state law pro-
viding that doors In all manufacture
ing establishments open outward. 1T
had been proven time and again in. ca
ses Of serious fires that inword doors
were one of the greatest perils. Re-
volving doors would do as well as
doors opening outward, he thought.
He was speaking in support Of his bill
to that effect.
Building Inspector A. NJ. Ruther-
ford Of New Britain was strongly in
favor Of the bill, but he disagreed
with Senator O'Connell's statement
that revolving doors were satisfactory.
There was no, opposition to the gem
eral purpost of the bill, but the real
estate board Of New Haven believed
that the bill ought to be so nodded
as to exempt small places Of bust
ness, such as drug stores and grocery
stores in which only one or two clerks
are employed. from its scope.

SOLDIER and
ARTS PATRON
King of Greece Encourages
Native Painters For Pa
triotic Reasons.

Athens, Greece, March skiing
Constantine is fond Of referring to
himself as "only a soldier" but in
Greece he is also famous as a patron
of the arts. He is not a collector OF
old pictures or. like his brother,
Prince Nicholas. a conservator OF
antiquities. but he is a very practical
Maecenas where young Greek artists
are concerned. and for patriotic
rather than artistic reasons. He wants
to see the new Greece take a part in
keeping with her national aspirations
in other lines.
King Constantine's love Of Corfu is
perhaps the basis of his preference
for the young Greek painter, Lycur-
gus Kogevinas, a Corfiote by birth,
who has put Corfu on canvas as no
one else. The vague mystery of the is
land lives in his landscapes, with
their soft greys and greens, lofty
Expresses like waving plumes and dis
tant Venetian castles browning the
hills.
King Constantine likes to show off
his pictures himself, as if he were
in part responsible for them, as he is,
as a matter Of fact.
Count Mercati, grand marshal OF
the court, sent a note to the Associat-
ed Press correspondent bidding him.
on behalf of the king, ito come to
the palace at tea time If he. wanted
to see some good pictures" The king
was seated in his study, in uniform.
