cross fire of questions, n after Il
Iong wrangle between the lawyers In

terday held Miss Frances johnson,
of Hartford. Conn, for the grand
ed weapons and with intent to do
bodily harm.
A substantial Identification of the
rirl WAS made BY several witnesses,
Isadore Fucker, manager of the Hotter
Madison, pointing her out as the girl
who had registered at the hotel on
January 81 as C. Henderson. Edwin
hardware store at New Brunswick,
stated he was quite sure she was the
same person he had sold the Colt 70
calibre revolver and a box OF cart
ridges to during the morning of last
Thursday. Two employees OF the
United States Shipping Beard ware
house also identified her as the ono
the chief of police lar received the
gun from.
CHIEF of Police Willard b. Hutch
inson testified to having gone to the
plant and arrested the girl and re-
ceIving the gun from her without
trouble after he had proven his au-
thortty.
Heinzleman brought out the facts
over which the attorneys had so
many discussions. While the witness
stated that she was friendly to both
tho defendant and Mr.. Liddle, Frank
lin NJ. Richie, attorney for Miss
johnson, was unable to make her
admit that she was testifylnE Tor
anything but the best interests OF all
concerned.
Miss Heinzieman related the con-
yersatlons between the defendant and
herself at her apartment In the
Westminster last Thursday evening
between the hours of ) and IL
o'clock. 1t was during the time OF
this visit that Miss johnson nrst
showed tina gun and in reply to Q

using the early trains of the Amboy-
.Tottenville division of the Staten ISL

yesterday morning when the first train
from st. George to Tottenville failed
to reach here until about $50 o'clock

by the locomotive attached to the

the finer sort of cotton fabric that is
now used for many Of these handker-
chiefs is perfectly satisfactory to al
most all discriminating women.
There are some new handkerchiefs
with striped or plaid foundations, but
the most Of them are still made with
a border design in color on q plain
white ground. Sometimes these Dor
ders are in the form of stripes, some
times in blocks of different colors and
sometimes in irregular designs. And
then. beside the border, there is the cor
ner design in color on the handkerchief
showing an edge rolled and whipped
with a colored thread. These whipped
edges are pretty, and pink whipped

blue and pink floral garland in one
corner, is as dainty a handkerchief as
one would wish TO see.
