Costly Blaze.

Moved to tears as she related the story
of a FIRE which destroyed the home barn

Rae Tatrnan presented a dramatic pic
ture in Criminal Court today during the
trial Of John Whitney, Gust Sheets and
Clarence Staten, three negroes, who are
under Indictment charging them with
shooting into barn while hunting rab-
bits on the farm of Frank Tatman, $500

Miss Tatman testified the negroes on
trial and three others appeared at her
home before noon on the day of the
fire. She said when she ordered them

on the men because she was alone and
was afraid.
The theory Of the State is the shots
from the guns fired hap in barn which
spread from the barn to the house, caus-
ing a complete loss The damage was
estimated at about $4,000.
The men under indictment insisted they
were a considerable distance from the
barn. They admitted shooting at rabbits,
hut denied threatening Miss Tatman.
Miss Tatman, on rebuttal testified she

CHARGES WOMAN
PICKED VICTIMS
Former DOughboy Says Two
Negroes Hanged Without
Fair Trial.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-New charges
OF Illegal hanRngs in the A Il. f.
were made before the Senate Investigating
body today.
story Of two negro soldiers being
hanged without a fair trial on the word
Of an "outcasr French woman" was told
by L. c. Mason, Of Davenport, Iowa,
former doughboy.
The hangings, Mason said, occurred IN
the American camp at Monitor, near ST..
Nazaire, France.
The witness snid the woman com
planned TO American officers that United
States soldiers had attacked her and she
was taken to the camp to pick out the
men.
"she went to the white camp first and
picked no one out and then TO the negro
camp whore she quickly pointed out two
men" Mason said
IN a few days the men were hanged.
II she was attacked by negroes, why
did she first 90 through the white camp ?
An order was read from the scaffold
saying the negroes were executed after
court-martial had found them guilty
Of rape, bat IN my opinion, they were
hanged simply as an object lesson TO
the other troops. No one IN the neigh
borhood except the court martial ever
took the word Of that French woman.
She was notorious"
The hearings were adjourned to next
Wednesday.

SHOWGIRL SAYS
THREATS MADE
BY ATTORNEYS
State Witness in Arbuckle
Trial Reverses Part of
Testimony.
MEMORY LAPSE NOTED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-What eff
feet has the startling lapse of memory
of the States two star witnesses had
on the jury now hearing the evidence in
the second trial for manslaughter Of
Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle?
This question was uppermost in the
minds of attorneys for both sides today
as court convened for the fourth day
of evidence taking. Alice Blake, the first
witness, was forgetful, but when her
memory was refreshed, gave for the State
substantially the same testimony she
had given at the first trial However,
Zev Prevon proved not only forgetful,
but actually reversed certain portions
of her testimony in addition to being
frankly hostile to the State attorneys.
So marked was her animOsity and so
persistent her lapse Of memory that the
State finally sought to have her declared
hostile surprise witness, that they
might question her under the rough and
ready rules Of Cross-examination. TINS
move failed and the witness promptly
retaltated by declaring she was forced
d
she was threatened while under custody
Of the District Attorneys office and that
she remained in this custody because
she was threatened with Jail if she did
not
The District Attorney was unable TO
shake these declarations and he directed
she be held under subpoena, indicating
that witnesses would be called TO contro-
vert her statements In thls regard.
Court opened with a battle over the
testimony OF Josephine Keza,

If Mr.. Lloyd George had no other

Of his political fathers for two hundred

and labor for trade relations" with Rus
