Louisville, Ky. DEG. 2N.-CBy A.
P.)-Dr. Christopher G.. Schott, forty

here early today awaiting completion
or arguments IN his motion for bail
on the charge Of murder, and LaurenC
Gardner, girl of thirteen, on whose
testimony he relies to bear out his dec
laration that he is innocent. was in
the Detention Home on a charge of
delinquency.
These developments have come to the
front since December 24, when Eliza
beth Ford Griffith, Doctor Schott's sew
enteen- year old assistant, was found
dead on the floor of the physician s of
fee with bullet through her heart,
and his automatic pistol by her side.
The physician admitted that he had
been engaged to marry Miss Griffith
but that the engagement had been bro
ken. Doctor Schott. on the witness
stand, said he approved of her pro
posed marriage to Captain George *.
Gordon, stationed at Camp Zachary
Taylor. He asserted his belief that she
would live with the soldier but com
paratively short time. after which, he
said, she would be willing to return to
him and eventually make him a good
wife.
Examination by the coroner estab-
lished that Miss Griffith had been killed
between / and 3 o'clock in the after
noon. Questioned by the police, Doc
tor Schott declared he had been deliv-
ering Christmas presents between those
hours. The little Gardner girl stoutly
maintained to the authorities that she
was in his company.
Doctor Schott asserts the belief that
Miss Griffith committed suicide.

cording to this statement, Brown, fear
ing that in an impassioned moment he
might use his revolver, turned it over
to the soldier.

For deep frying Of doughnuts,

stirring edibles, where a nice, brown
crust is q consummation devoutly to
be desired, corn oil has proven itself
Of EmiQue value.
Housewives who have poured two
or three tablespoonfuls Of this oil
over roast Of beef or lamb, or veal,
find that it checks the see&ping out Of
the meat substances and causes the
meat to cook in it's own rich juices.
This gives an unusual tenderness to
the roast and increases measurably
the meat flavor. 1t also facilitates
the Thorough cooking Of the roast
and prevents the outside from being
burnt into disagreeable-tasting and
indigestible cinder.
