SLAYER OF MARSHALL
 ON TRIAL FOR SECOND j TIME BEFORE FORT

Hearing was continued yesterday in the case of Henry Walker. Jr., negro, on trial before Judge William E. Fort in criminal court on charge of staying Walter F. Granger, mar ehal of Tarrant City, early in 1920. The case will be resumed this morn ing with other testimony, and the arguments of the attorneys to be heard.
 Some difference arose between the attorneys as to the hole a shot from . pump gun loaded with buckshot will make in an object as far away as Granger was from Walkers house when he was shot Chief Fred H. McDuff, who was a witness yester- day, was commissioned by the court to try out the gun alleged to have been used by Walker with the idea of finding what size hole it will make in a cardboard. This hole will be compared with the one blown in Marshal Granger's coat when he was shot.
 Walker Is being tried his second time. He was convicted the first time and given a 20-year sentence. but was granted a new trial when it was learned that one of the jurors was hard of hearing. Officers had gone to his home to arrest him on charge of shaping a white boy when Granger was shot. The negro claims he thought a mob was after him.

Speakers to Talk on Bond Issue at
 Parks Saturday

City league moguls, in session at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night. expressed their indorsement of that part of the city bond issue which calls for $780, 900 for city parks and play grounds and voted to join forces in helping to put the measure across.
 Saturday afternoon when City league teams resume pennant con- tending a speaker will be provided at every park at which a game will be played to talk in behalf of the bond issue. It was planned to have the five city commissioners speak at the larger parks. bu 1t was not definitely announced that the executives will be able to accept the invitation of the City league.
 The game between Avondale and the Maccabes. scheduled for Saturday a the latter's park. will be played on the Avondale grounds instead, it was decided last night and Commissioner Harrison will speak before the game in behalf of the bond issue. Large crowds usually attend the games at Avondale and Commissioner Harri- sons message is expected to reach many hearers.
 few minor matters were attended to at the meeting. It was decided that Woco Pep must play all it's games on its opponents grounds until a suitable home park can be secured. Woco Pep's diamond is said to be in too remote section for convenience. and the Gas gang must secure a new diamond before 1t can play any more home games.
 James F. Harrison, president of the City league, was enthusiastic in boosting the bond issue and was largely responsible for the decision to furnish speakers at Saturdays games.

PLAN
 MEETS WITH UPSET
Move to Amend Bill of Par tlcularS in Blizzard Trea-
 son Trial Likely
RyAssnciated Pres.

Charlestown. ". Va. May 2.-The bill of particulars, favorite battle ground of counsel in the trial of the treason charge against William Bliz- xard, upset the prosecution's plans today. A move to amend it, followed Judge J. NJ. Woods ruling that it re- stricted proof of conspiracy to activi- ties in Kanawha county, was forecast by A. M Belcher. one of the leaders of the attorneys associated in the states staff, and was derided by H. w. Houston and T. c. Townsend of the defense counsel.
 The bar to the states course came out during testimony of J. S. Me heever of Longacre, a mine superln- tendent, whose testimony concerned q mass meeting called by some of the mine union leaders at Longacre. The meeting, he had testified, was to organize Constitutional league" and 1t appeared to be the purpose or the prosecution to link this with US allegation that a statewide, move, ostensibly for the formation of such leagues. was a part of conspiracy of union officials of reasonable in- tent. Savoy Holt. whose name had llEured In the testimony or men par ticipating in the march against Logan county, was a speaker at the Long, acre meeting, Mir. Mekeever testi- fled. and 1t was on objection to the next question What did he say?" that Judge Woods made his ruling. To Mir. Belchers contention that Sa- voy Holt was a factor in the con- spiracy to levy war on the state, ai- legged against Blizzard and others. Mr. Townsend objected that the bill of particulars filed in the beginning of the trial specified that the de- fendant conspired with others in Kanawha county while Longacre was in Fayette county. Judge Woods sus- tained this objection and it was then MT. Belcher declared that if the court were to make that ruling the state would have to amend the bill. MT. McKeever was excused for the time and examination of other witnesses began with the probability that the issues as to the bill of particulars would be taken up tomorrow.
 Use of union funds to equip and supply the marchers, automobile trips after ammunition and for other pur- poses furthering the aims of the ex- petition, and the individual experi- ence of some of the marchers made up much of the days testimony.

 FEATURES OF LYRIC BILL

It is almost impossible to con ceive that Martelle, who heads the bill at the Lyric for thu first half of the week, Is an impersonator and not woman until he removes his wig. It is very seldom that an act Of this kind really impersonates, but Martelle not only has the face and figure of a stunning woman, but he carries his act with the natural delicacy that from time immemorial we have associated with the fair sex.
 Jimmie Carlisle and Isabelle Lamar. who are billed in the Interview, are also artists of the first order Their skit Is filled with clean cut humor, that is distinctly refreshing
