stockings and yellow shoes.
Both children appeared in perfect
health as their big, blue wistful eyes
surveyed the surroundings, including
the curious throng which had gath
eered as their automobile drew up.
They were accompanied by their
uncle, the Rev. Thomas Yardley, an
Episcopal minister of Catonsville. Md.
with whom they have been living.
S Yardley is the husband of the dead
woman's sister.
Whether or not the two Eastlake
children will go on the stand to tes-
tify against their father is a matter
which Judge Chinn alone knows. The
prosecution is anxious to use them
but the judge will not reveal his at
ttitude as to their admissibility. It
will probably be made known late to-
day however. During the noon re-
cess Judge Chinn took occasion to
visit the little tots at the home Of
Walker In order to form his own
opinion as to whether or not they are
competent to be put on the stand.
The kindly judge entered the Walk
er parlor where the children were be-
ing made comfortable. The Judge
took the younger of the two children

The child grimaced and wiggled and

across the room to her uncle. Judge
Chinn did not force himself further
upon her but walked across the room
and patted young Roger on the head
asking him how he felt. The manly
little fellow merely answered IAN

from his visitor.

The court room will be cleared of
women for the second time during the
trial. The first instance when this re-
quest was necessary and when fifteen

room occurred when town sergeant
Thomas Hall, of Colonial Beach, was
called by the prosecution to testify
that he had found certain incriminat-
