Tho overladen sun go down;
While, in the opposing sky, the moon,
Between the steeples of the town.
Went upward, like a golden scale
Outweighed by that which sank be-

And over the river, and over the vale,
With odors from the lily pond.
The purple vapors calmly swung;
And, gathering in the twilight trees,
The many vesper minstrels sung
Their plaintive midday memories.
Till, one by one, they dropped away
From music into slumber deep;
And now the very woodlands lay
Folding their shadowy wings in sleep

ton on the chest several times, and Mr..
Galster said the sound was very
familiar. Mr.. Rooney then struck Mr..
Stockton on the back several times
with his open hand. Mr.. Galster said
that some of the blows he heard struck
were as loud as those struck by Mr..
Rooney. The fussing and wrangling
in the Check apartment, he said, was
rather continuous day after day.
Victor Check and his wife talked very
loud most of the time, he said. The
elder Mr.. Check, he said always ap-
pecred to be very neat and clean. Mr..

great deal during the time.

about three hours. About 10 o'clock
in the morning of October 20, he said,
he heard Mrs. Check ask the elder
Check what he intended to do with
that real estate. He said no place was
mentioned as to the location of the
real estate. During the morning he
said he heard the woman talking to
the aged man, and said that the wom-
an did most Of the talking, but he
| heard the old mans voice now and
then. The womans voice, he said,
was harsh.
What a Plumber Hears
During the two days he worked
there, he said, he heard the Checks
quarreling often, but paid no attention
| to it. He said If plumbers listened to
all the "fat chewing" they heard. they
would get very little work done. Every

heard different line of jazz and
he got used to overhearing quarrels
On the second day he was there, he
said, he was in Casters apartment
and he told him about the Checks

that day because he wouldn't sign
