Three Witnesses Examined.

MONTROSS, Va, April .27.-
Women spectators at the trial of
Miss Sarah Knox were invited to
leave the courtroom at IL o'clock
today while the defense cross-ex-
amined Town Sergeant w. T. Hall,
Of Colonial Beach.
Direct questioning by the Com
monwealth failed to bring out GER
tain facts of an intimate nature
which were developed when the
same witness was on the stand in
the Eastlaks trial.
.... = Attorneys In Clash. ..-.
When asked why he had not told
as much on the stand this time as he
did last December. Hall replied that
there were ladies In the room and
he did not consider 1t proper testi-
mony for them to hear.
Immediately Prosecutor Mayo was
on his feet and stated he had not
asked the witness to tell every
thing he had told before and pro-
tested that the defense had no right
to ask Mr.. Hall why he had not told
alias If to insinuate he was trying
to keep something from the defense.
II am not trying to insinuate any
thing" hotly replied Mr.. Smith,
chief counsel for Miss Knox, you
must learn to keep your head, as you
will surely have to do before this
case Is over
II can take care of my head,
II you will take care of yours was
Mayo's rejoinder, but i don't pro
pose TO have you or any other
lawyer come into this court and
cast reflections on the manner in
which ! prosecute a case in which
am representing the common
wealth"
Question Is Ruled Out.
Judge Chinn warned the at
torneys that the conduct was de
LAYING the case and that IL they
would cease he would gladly make
a ruling. He decided Mr.. Smiths
question as to why Hall had not
included such testimony without
being directly asked was improper.
We'll, IL any of the ladies wish
to leave the room" remarked Mr..
Smith, after Judge Chinn's ruling,

tainly going to insist on having
every speck Of evidence brought to

Mr.. Hall then was handed

confiscated in the room of Miss
Knox. He identified among them
several hypodermic needles, hypo-
dermic syringes, and toilet requi-
sites of a personal nature, the OBJ
jects of which were thoroughly

The human race had to devote
at least q hundred thousand years
to getting the hair off its face.
Then, up North, it had to live
through long winters of snow to
get the face bleached. And to-
day ungrateful women, little real
izing what a white, hairless skin
means, dip themselves in henna
baths and tattoo their faces with
spots.
Strange creatures, but it all
means something useful undoubt-
edly. Providence wants only
what is right, and Providence
is never thwarted-in the long
run.
Miss A. Whitney, social well
fare worker, is sentenced to four
teen years Imprisonment in San
Francisco for violating the
State criminal syndicalism act"
The charge against the young
woman is that she helped to or
ganize and accepted membership
in a communist organization.
Communist organizations won't
achieve anything in this country
for at least a hundred years, if
ever. But they do frighten law
makers and judges. When law
makers and judges are fright
ened they do something. Hence
the fourteen-year sentence.
Pity they are not frightened
of a different crime of organ
izing trusts and monopolies to
rob the people on a big scale.
Nobody was ever sent to jail
for fourteen years for that
crime.
Yet taxation and robbery of
the people by monopoly is much
more of menace than any
foolish talk of communism-in
this land, where ninety-niDe and
nine -tenths of all the people
are intent on getting and keep
ing what they can as individ-
uals.

Racing men know all about

his ancestors all the way back
to the famous Arab stallion
that kicked aside a common
heavy horse and started the line
of thoroughbreds in England.
There is at least an even
chance that the colt will be a
good race horse. Perhaps not
a wonder, but a good racer
How little we know about
