York traffic policeman some time be-
fore the murder. The policeman told
the physician Of murder commit
ted by burglars, in which hammer
wrapped IN newpaper was used. DR..
Wilkins was much interested to learn
that the paper was used to prevent in
crlmlnatlng finger prints being left
on the handle of the hammer. he said.
First Witness Called
The first witness was George Van
der Werken, of Lynbrook a civil cngi-
necr. He produced large surveyors
map of the wilkins home and vicinity,
which was admitted in evidence.
Charles W. Hanson, county fngerprint
expert and photographer, and Aubrey
}. Drummond produced photographs
of the home of the defendant and its
surroundings. They were critically ex-
amlned by DR.. wilkins before being
approved as exhibits.
Police Sergeant Harry II. Schneider,
OF Long Beach, testified to having
spoken to Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins when
they came off the train on the night
OF the crime. They appeared to be on
friendly terms, he said At 9:53 he
was called to the house and found Dr.
wilkins getting into a standing posi-
ton beside his wife. He saw on the
ground the hammer with its head and
handle wrapped in newspaper The
ac1endant wanted to pick it up, but
scnneider warned him to let it alone.
MTs. wilkins lay on her back moaning
Three Glasses on Table
Schneider said DR.. wilkins then told
MN the story Of the burglars, and
showed him three glasses on the table
IN the breakfast room and said:
That's what they drank out Of"
Iou came in although you knew
there were burglars here ?" the wit
ness said he asked DR.. wilkins at the
time as he stood beside him.
Yes. I'm game old gentleman.
I'm full Of sand" he said Dr.. wilkins
replied.
In describing the burglars, he said
DR.. wilkins first declared he had not
seen the third man, but later he spoke
Of. the third as being tall, while the
other two werc short
~ "'sh"sn nnio ne nao seen the
dog jammed between the bed and the
wall He touched it's head and it did
not finch.
Two chairs had been drawn up to
the table, he said, but Mr.. Wysong
produced the minutes Of the hearing
before Coroner Men to show Schneider
then swore there were three chairs at
the table

New Clews Should Lead
To Bombers, Says Flynn

William j. Flynn, head of the forces
hunting down the persons responsible
for the bomb outrages Of June 2, said
yesterday that, although several earlier
clews had fizzled, Department of JUS
tice operatives were making good prog
rcss.
Ee insisted that the information and
ciews brought back from q recent con-
ference at Washington were of the
highest Importance, and undoubtedly
would lead to the apprehension of tho
bombers. He declined to reveal the
nature 'of these clews.
William II. Ohiey, head of the local
office of the Department of Justice.
has been informed that many landlords
whose properties are being used as
meeting places by radical organiza-
tions have given notice to these bodies
to vacatc. He understood, he said that
the Russian groups meeting at 1873 East
Fifteenth Street already had been or
dered to move.

To begin with, the story starts in
the year 1865, which morally and So
cially speaking is only slightly less
distant from this postwar period than
the Augu,stan age. Mary's memories
begin most precociously between the
ages of two and three and last until
forty-fve. The family group con-
tains bad tempered father, SEEM,
ingly amiable mother and three broth
ers. Less immediate relatives are
sketched in, among them Aunt Char
lotte, prey to an unfortunate pen
chant for beaux-all in the first divi-
sion of the book which is called In
fancy. Childhood finds Mary well
launched in that ruthless search for
Reality which is to be her life work,
able to gaze at her parents with a
speculative eye and to distinguish be-
tween her mothers God, who was
much less amusing than Zeus, she de-
cided, and her own private God, who
was clever and had a sense of humor.
Adolescence takes Mary long jour
ney indeed, through library of his
torians, scientists, poets and philos-
ophers that would make the average
college graduates readingstnrn pale

The book develops into profound
psychological research into the world
Of family affections, on the pessimistic
side. 1t is the tragedy of six persons
with an intense consciousness of self
and no willingness to relinquish any
part of themselves for the common
good Of the family, all jealous of some
other member of the group, and bound
together by love Of the central char
acter, the mother, who spends her en-
tire life subjugating them without
any sense Of decency or honor. The
Olivier family as ones neighhors
would probably seem only a slightly
eccentric group, touched with alcohol

through a religious upheaval t..
would make Luther's ninety-fve
theses look like nothing at all, and
merciless analysis of her parents
which leaves them in Mary's eyes a
pretty, weak, small souled mother,
strong only in her indomitable jeal-
ousy and selfishness, and strange
adamantime, domineering monstrosity
Of father, whose ruling passion was
jealousy of his sons.

ism and insanity; but as shown in
the cross vivisection of the book they
might be on the reverse side of the
moon or some spot equally remote
from normal human experience. In
the case of some of the characters the
abnormality becomes positive mania,
as in the jealousy motif Of the
fathers portrait and the more SIMS
ter motif of poor Aunt Charlotte s.
1t becomes necessary to drag this ILL
fated member Of the circle overly
and painfully from the pages Of the
book to a madhouse.
But in spite Of difficulties of style
and matter it is not possible to inn
agine that any one fairly launched in
the book will fail to persevere to the
end; yet if the journey prove unpleas-
ant it should not be endured solely
for the heaven of the denouement,
because there ism I any heaven there.
We have been given no reason to ex-
pect anything, however, and so there
is no real justification for disappoint-
ment. The book has no plot and no
ending as we ordinarily think of such
things. 1t is not, strictly speaking,
a novel at all, but Mary is vivid OH
every page, her family and her life
are agitatingly real in spite of their
abnormalities, and we for one are glad
to have known her.
Nv.
Maturity covers Mary's life from
sixteen to thirty hard and un.
happy years without much accom-
piished in the search. Reality con-
tinues to elude her, but is finally run
down in Middle Age. At about the
same time she discovers Richard and
decides that the marriage ceremony
can be dispensed with, after which
she begins to have no end of a good
time. Lowing Richard more than
herself she let him go, and letting 60
did the trick" Miss Sinclair 8 argu-
ment or Mary's, or whatsoever it is,
is that it would have been practically
impossible to have kept both Richard
and Reality. knowing Reality is
knowing that you cant lose it. That
or nothing. People had talked
a lot about compensation, but nobody
had told her that after forty-five life
would have this exquisite clearness
and intensity"
Most people are happier after they
reach middle age, though most of
them deny it, but their happiness is
not usually produced by the death of
their entire families, or in the case
of women, by having their lovers
marry elsewhere. Mary was surely
contrary; but after all her idea of
not being able to keep Richard with
out giving up Reality accords with
the conventionally confirmed maiden
lady's idea of marriage, doesn't iti
Personally we should like nothing SO
much as to see Mary at the head of a
large and swarming family, with no
servants and no time for introspec-
ton.

There are probably not more than
two people in the world who remem-
Der feeling. their brains swaying like
bladders, and several million who will
doubt that Miss Sinclair does herself,
and so this passage is not SO valuable
aS an example of memory as for the
TACT that it illustrates the eccentricity
OF the form in which the novel is
written. Often these pictures or
cubes or whatever they may be are
condensed into three lines+they are
seldom longer than two pages-and
there is no continuity in passing from
one division to the next. They record
momentary impression, a passing
smell perhaps, and finally they make
up Mary Olivier life, so, p,
