While making the investigation Of
the home, Mrs. Van Wrinkle said, Mr.
Greer summoned his lawyer. "He

"As we were leaving the place, "
Mrs. Van Wrinkle said, 'two little

how we hate them"
The court. after objection by coun-
sci for the Greers, ruled out the
statements credited to the children.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle was asked about
the sworn statement of Miss Nc
Knight, which Attorney David assert
ed was not written by the signer.
The witness said that the statement
was taken on the typewriter by Miss
Ethel McQuistnn, one OF the police
women, who is assisting Mrs. Van
Wrinkle in the case. There were GER
tain words and phrases that the po-
Hcewoman may have put in to make
the girls meaning clear, Mrs Van
Wrinkle said, but she was certain that
the facts as contained in the state
ment were given by Miss Mcknight.
since she had been in the room at the
time and heard them given.
Serious Charge Against Greer,
One Of the references objected to
by Mr.. David was that in which Miss
Mcknight made a serious charge
against Mr.. Greer involving one Of
the girls in the home.
The court ruled that inquiry into
the truth or falsity Of the statement
had no place in the present investi-
cation, but may be opened later by
counsel.
Asked il she examined the house to
determine whether or not there were
sufficient clothes for the children,
Mrs. Van Wrinkle said she had not
done so.
without exception, every child
said he was unhappy" she swore.

they felt they were not getting eonugh

At the time she went with an Off

Greer sought to keep the children as

and make them loo! better.

Mr.. David charged that the police
woman carried the children away in
clothes insufficient to keep them
warm, while they were being taken
to the corporation coUnsers office.
Il wanted him to see the children
in the same condition as had found
them in the home" Mrs. Van Wrinkle
said.
When the hearing was resumed
this afternoon, other children who
were formerly at the Greer home may
be introduced as witnesses.
The defense plans to use both Mr.
and Mrs. Greer as witnesses in their
own behalf. IF the State rests to-
day the Greers may take the stand

The building-the latest addition t
the monster Santa Fe railways insti-
tuition here's three stories high, in
addition to a basement, is 102 feet
street and 1862 feet long. 1t is built
of reinforced concrete and brick and,
according to F. NJ. Spencer & Son,
contractors, is one of the most soljdly
constructed buildings in Topeka.
Altho it will contain offices, the
structure is built on the warehouse
plan, due to the fact that it will sup
port thousands of tons of unclaimed
freight, baggage, stationery supplies
and files. The foundation of massive
structure rests on bedrock and was
installed after pumps had worked for
days getting water out of the excava-
ton that the cement might set firmly
on the rock.
F. NJ. Spencer & Son, the contrac-
tors, have completed their assignment
of erecting the building proper. Heat
ing and other fixtures, now partially
completed will be Installed shortly
and the building will be dried out
and occupied. The gross cost of the
building proper is s250,000. Fixtures
including office equipment and sever
carloads of filing cases, costing be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, bring the
entire investment to 100000.
Departments located in the building
will be as follows:
Unclaimed freight-north end OF
| basement and north end of first floor
Stationery OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES enc
of basement and south end of frs
floor.
Unclaimed baggage part of sec
| ond floor.
Files orage-the balance of Sec
ond floor and all of third floor.
The offices managing the four de-
partments will also have their quar-
| tiers in the building. The old un
claimed freight depot. which adjoin:
| the building on the east and which
was the first depot of its kind bull
| in Topeka, will be torn down and the
site occupied by the ]. B.. Whelar
