to Enforce Dry Law

ALBANY, Jan. 24.-The prohibition en-
-forcement bill, substantially identical
with the Volstead law, and the answer
Of the drys to Gov. Alfred E. Smiths
request that the legislature rescind rati-
fication Of the national prohibition
amendment and provide for a referen-
dunn on 1t, was introduced in both houses
Of the legislature last night. The bill
omits any provision for a prohibition
enforcement department. The drys be-
lieve that such a department would give
the anti prohibition governor an excuse
for vetoing the entire legislation.
The bill is designed to place upon state
officials the same obligation to enforce
the amendment as the Volstead act
places upon federal officials and to en-
able this state to concur in enforcement

THIRD GLIMPSE TOO
MUCH FOR PASTOR.

Rev. Osterwald, a Pentecost minister,
said that on three occasions he had seen
Mrs. Bssex in front of windows at her
home without clothing on. The. first time
was in June, 1919, he said.
al saw her In front of a window peer
ing into a looking glass;" he said.
"Was you shocked2" questioned the
court.
Eyes, I was offended he said.
Rev. Osterwald declared that on two
other occasions he was walking through
the alley when he saw Mrs. Essex in
her home without any clothing on.
Yes, was offended on both these &C.
casions, too he admitted.
Ora Steen, 1920 Walker street, said he
had seen her nude as he passed through
thp alley. But he wasn't offended, he
said.
After Rev. OsterwaId told Of a visit
to the Essex home at which time he
was shocked. The minister was ques-
toned on how much OF Mrs. Essex's
body could be seen from the window,
which he later said he saw her from. He
wasn't certain about that, he admitted.
MAN AND WIFE
CHARGE PERSONAL ANIMUS.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Essex claim the
arrest and charges are the result Of
personal animus. Mr.. Essex said Mrs.
McKindley became angry at her when
she forbade her to use her telephone.
Mr.. Essex said he had some sort Of
a controversy with Rev. Osterwald over
the purchase Of lumber.
You're not in the habit Of taking cold
cir baths are your" the court asked the
defendant after a witness had told of
seeing her in her yard,
mo, I'm not" she answered indig-
nantly.
Mrs. Essex offered nineteen witnesses
to testify as to her character. Among
them were Mrs McKIndley's brother and
sister.
Ira Holmes appeared for the woman. He
drew dagger eyes" from Policewoman
Sweetman, who inquired in the case, when
he asked the court to order her to talk
only when called upon.
The final episode in the case will be
written Monday when Judge Pritchard
has promised to hand down decision.

"Did she, or didn't she?"
Mrs. FIossie Essex, 2794 Walker street,
says she didn't.
Rev. Fred Osterwald, 273O Walker
street, and Robert McKindley, another
neighbor, says she did.
Anyway, Judge Waiter Pritchard in city
court must decide If Mrs. Essex stood
nude in front of a looking glass near her
window primping. Then, too, another
witness declared he was shocked when
he saw Mrs. Essex empty a wash tub In
her back yard clad only in her under
wear. 1t was Mr.. McKindley who had
her arrested on a charge IF public in
decency.
Mrs. Essex, about 25 and pretty, mod
estly tried to hide her face as her ac-
cusers told Judge Pritchard what they
had seen"
EIts all a lie" she said, with defiant
dip of her head, as she took the stand.
Mrs. Essex, wearing a neatly tailored
suit and q small hat, sat beside her hus-
band, Charles Allen Essex, Big -Four
freight conductor, as she was being ar
raigned.
