DENIES SHE
KILLED RIVAL

Dedham, Mass, Dec. 14.-Ending her
story of her relations with George H.
heyes, a Boston real estate operator,
Miss Harriet A. Varney, q nurse, tes-
trying in her own defense yesterday
on the charge of murder denied dra-
matically that she had killed his bride
OF eight months, Pauline H. Keyes.
The witness recital was marked
with sobs. AS she told of being
drugged by Keyes when dining with
him on the second night after they
had been introduced by her f1ance, a
Providence actor named Whitney, and
of pleading with him to let her 20
home when she regained sensibility in
his hotel room, she broke down and
cried Historically. Later, as she re-
lated how Reyes had given her a we'd
ding ring when they were living at
hotels together as man and wife, tell
ing her 1t was as sacred as a dozen
ceremonies, her voice again faltered
And near the end of the days trying
ordeal, when she gave some of the
reasons why Keyes had beaten her,
her tones could not be heard beyond
the jury box.
But, as her counsel, after elicitinE
from her the last detail of her story,
asked her point blank whether she
killed Pauline Keyes, Miss Varney
took her handkerchief from her eyes,
drew herself erect, and said in voice
that carried to the farthest corner of
the large courtroom: II did mott"

Will CONSTRUE
Law LITERALLY

Washington, Dec. H. Many
phases of the governments war time
activities were explained BY officials
yesterday to an editorial conference
of The Associated Business Newspa-
pers, representing more than loo
trade and technical journals.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper told how liberal construction
has been placed on certain provisions
OF the excess profits law to make the
tax burden as light as possible. For
partnerships and individuals, he said.
reasonable salaries viii be allowed as
determining the taxable residue. in
order to place them on an equal
basis with corporations which pay
specific salaries. He also indicated
that in the case Of professional men,
the cost of small amount of equip
ment will be considered merely a.
professional adjunct, and not Invest
ed capital.
Another important announcement
was that merchants probably will be
permitted to make inventories either
at cost or market value. This was
considered especially significant since
brokers are to be regarded as "mer-
chants Of securities" and therefore
may inventory stocks and bonds at
the low price to which many have
fallen recently.
Early in the new year, Mr.. Roper
said, competent revenue officer viii

United States to aid inexperienced
persons in making out their income

not only collection of the taxes, but
to stimulate a spirit Of patriotism in

Bismarck. N. D., Dec. 14.-The

James Mcdowell, indicted by a fed
eral grand jury in Fargo last July

court, went to a jury at o'clock
Wednesday evening, and at 8 o'clock

Axel Nelson and three others, arr
raigned for introducing liquor on
the Berthold reservation, were found
not guilty, and Judge Wade directed

arraigned on a charge of stealing
hides which were in interstate COM

with this crime, and one of the wit

relied, is in the United States army,
