Mrs. Brooke Still Tells Contra
dictory Story of Faxed At
tacks on Her.

Prince Georges county authorities
will not continue the investigation
into the mysterious binding OF
Mrs. Mace Brooke, of Mt. Rainier,
even though they have evidence
which contradicts in part the con
fession" Of Mrs. Brooke that her
five alleged attacks were faxed.
Mrs. Brooke appeared last night
before Judge Robert T.. Joyce in
Mt. Rainier and denied that any
attacks were made on her, clearing
three persons from serious charges,
and releasing a fourth from Gus
tody as a State witness.
1t developed last night that Mrs.
Brooke. several days ago, threat
ened TO change her story "if she
was not treated right"
She is further said to have made
contradictory remarks while leav'
ing the courtroom last night.
Judge Joyce declared last night
that Mrs. Brooke's disinclination TO
aid the State in its Investigation
meant the end of the case, Mrs.
Brooke being the prosecuting wit
ness in the event that investiga-
ton developed she really was at
tackled IL she refuses to prosecute,
the State has no case, he said.
Everyone you have under arrest
Is innocent" Mrs. Brooke told the
court last night.
Judge Joyce ordered the release
from bond of these persons:
Archie Walter, of Baltimore, the
first man arrested. Warrant for
his arrest was sworn out by Brad
ley Cavey, who declared his infor-
nation came from Mrs. Brooke.
Mrs. Carrie Cavey, wife of Brad
ley Cavey, who was known to have
visited Mrs. Brooke in Mt. Rainier
several times in an unsuccessful
attempt to break up the love af-
fair between her husband and Mrs.
Brooke.
Miss Rosie Bradio, pretty Ralti-
more girl, sister of Mrs. Cavey,
who answered the description of
the woman Mrs. Brooke declared
threw lye into her face.
A girl, said to be named RUBY
Shook" who was ALLEGED to be the
woman who attacked Mrs. Brooke,
never existed. Mrs. Brooke said.
She also declared that she never
was attacked in her home by a
party of men and tied to the back
OF an automobile.
Judge Joyce. in closing the case,
warned Mrs. Brooke not to visit
the Cavey's again. Attorney Meyer
also asked the court to restrain
her from making any further visits
Mrs. Brooke promised she would
make no more visits.

HUSBANDS. BEWARE!

Dear Bill: 1t becomes my duty
to adVise all tViVes to refuse TO
laugh at jokes told by their hus-
bands at meal time. The other
day, IN Neao York, man told a
joke just as his toife i0as trying
to swallo,O some tough beef
steak. She choked to death as
she started to laugh over IL.
NoW he's probably looking
around for another toife, and
phen he gets tired Of her he'H
spring some old joke Just as
she's about to stOalloto. This, as
you surnsise, is an easier and
cheaper Vay than going to the

AS / understand It, the trick
can only be tUorked just as the
,oife is getting ready to s,oalloW
tough steak, liver or chicken. If
she's eating ice cream or stcal-

be successful.
