1000 Circus-Hur1gry Riddles

New York's Orphans Have Joyous Day at
Garden Show, With Clowns, Freaks and
Daredevil Actors Supplying Antics and Thrills

The week in spring when the orphan
kids of New York 60 to the circus
seems slow in coming in homes and
asylums where one day is the same as
another and most days are gray. A
year is long time to dwell on that
blissful two hours when they were
swept into the seventh heaven Of thrills
that only the circus can give.
Yesterday 1000 children from all over
the city repeated the joyful experience
Of other years. bringing with them the
hunger of half-starved hearts and
in many cases the dragging torture of
crutches and braces. More than Aorty
institutions sent their quotas to the
show.
The warm-hearted circus folks caught
the enthusiasm Of their audience. The
clowns outdid themselves in funny
antics. Even the animals seemed to
realize that something special was ex-
pected of them.
Pink lemondate and peanuts disap-
peared like magic, while gay balloons
f1uttered from hand to hand. The chill
dren's faces were radiant with enjoy
ment, but they were quiet about it all.
Occasionally small voice futed forth
or concentrated roar signaled the
climax of a daredevil act, but for the
most part they were dumb and serious.

It was Lillian Leitzel, the aerial gym

1918, said that, for want of evidence,
the case against Roland P. Pothier and

Wash. There he is said to have con-
fessed to the shooting of Major Cronk-
hite, saying that he was ordered to do
so by Rosenbluth.
Jonah J. Goldstein, counsel for Ro-

charged the Bureau of Investigation
of the Department Of Justice with
transferring all records in the case to
Prosecutor Selden with the intent of
clearing itself in the investigation

dered.

he made every attempt to furnish the

The bureau, he said, made no attempt
to get in touch with two of the most

also said that the Investigators for

Tucker, who performed the autopsy.
Rosenbluth's counsel said yesterday
