1.-THE DEVIL" AT THE GRAND
THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT

Suave, bantering, cynical; clever,
crafty, with subtle innuendoes, "The
Devil' ensnared an artist, a model,
a banker and his wife in diabolical
plot to overcome Truth with Evil.
"The Devil" was one of Mr..
George Arliss' greatest stage char
acterizations. As portrayed on the
screen, it is character delineation
to live and roll down the years of
photoplay history as an interpreted
ton without par.
The Grand theatre presents Mr..

Novel Knitted
Swimming Suit

Dame Fashion has been prompted
in decreeing the simple and practical
bathing suit by the fact that so many
women, the country over, have be-
come devotees Of the art of swimming.
Since the sport has become so popu-
lar, there is little room left for the
cumbersome bathing outfit Of yester-
wear. The comfortable form fitting
suit, cut wide at the shoulder to in
sure freedom CT arm movement, IS
the the order of the day.
While the fashionable set expert
mented with bathing suits of woven
materials, during the past Palm Beach
season, this was but flare of fashion,
that soon save way to the welcome
return of the knitted suit. The non
clinging and non-chilling qualities OF
knitted material now leave the knit
ted bathing suit unchallenged IN Its
field.
In addition to suits of one color,
some of which bear embroidery vary
ing from pure geometrical designs to
conventional sea subjects. there are
two-color effects. Here We have a
most attractive example, made OF
pure worsted. The skirt is laced ana
allows for fullness- The upperpart and
the knickers are Of different color
and may be had in cardinal, Kelly
green or sand combination.

HERMIT FOR 40 YEARS
A NEW JERSEY SUICIDE

TRENTON. Sept. sO.-James
Willis. aged II. who had lived alone
FOR forty years and was known as
the Hermit OF Willis Island" shot
and killed himself In a field at the
back part OF the municipal colony.
He had been in IN health FOR some
time. The island where Willis lived
Is in the Delaware River near this
city. He hunted and trapped. and
also had small salary from the
Trenton Water Power Company for
his services as a river watchman.
A disastrous love affair is said TO
have driven Willis 70 the island forty
years ago. He was exceedingly hos
pitable however. and often entertain
ed parties OF canoeists az his shack.

the ear and just back OF the temple.
That bullet went completely through
the head and was found between the
skull and the scalp. having passed
through the skull twice.
The skull was fractured. probably
by the first bullet that struck. Any
of the three wounds would have been
sufficient TO cause death, II was
stated.
A fourth wound was found upon
the upper lip which had the appear
ance OF having been made by a spent
bullet. which did not strike with suf-
fcieht force TO break the teeth under
the lip. Various theories have been
advanced regarding the probability
of that missile having passed through
the head of the woman's companion
before II struck her.
The wound upon the throat was
described as a necklace" wound,
and had the appearance OF having
been made by knife In a stroke OF
downward trend which encircled the
throat at the base Of the neck. The
slash severed the jugular vein. the
varotoid arteries and the esophagus.
Il was established that Mrs. Mills
was not pregnant.
The autopsy not only settled the
differences in the reports OF DR.. Long
and DR.. Cronk but settled many
rumors.
DR.. Cronk was definite in his state
ment that there were three bullet
wounds in the woman's head. while
DR.. Long contended that there were
not more than two. or possibly only
one. DR.. Long also was OF the opin-
ion that the woman's throat had not
been cut. while DR.. Cronk was quite
positive that It had been cut. Nor.
were any broken bones found. ac-
oordlng to Mr.. Beekman, although
he did find some scratches and
abrasions on one arm.
The fact that Mrs. Mills throat
was cut. taken In conjunction with
the lack of bloodstains on her cloth
ing. except on the shoulder upon
which she lay. tends to strengthen
n favorite popular theory that the
couple were murdered somewhere
else than the place at which their
bodies were found and that the
clothes in which they were found
were not the ones in which they were
dressed when killed. Proponents Of
this theory point also TO the fact
that DIR. Halls coat was slit up the
back. which they contend probably

plaudits OF their friends and imme-
dlate acquIttal II they committed a
crime under certain circumstances.
MY proposal then IS this: That
insanity be no longer treated as a
defense TO a criminal charge and
that evidence on that subject be ex-
cluded from the jury trying a GRIM
inal case: that after conviction the
defendant. upon suggestion OF insan-
ity. be examined by a board OF allen
lists; that they determine whether he
should be sent TO a state hospital,
private hospital or prison; that the
state retain jurisdiction over the de-
fendant even after an apparently
complete cure for as long as the
maximum sentence obtains.
Insanity Defense Humbug.
"As II now stands the defense OF
insanity Is a humbug. a pretense. an
hypocrisy. an invitation to murder
all too frequently accepted by jeal-
Gus lovers. discarded mistresses. in
dlgnant fathers and outraged hus-
bands.
"The average Juror acqults the de-
fendant who does exactly as that
Juror would have done under the
same circumstances this upon
the absurd ground OF insanity. on
the other hand the very barbarity
and shocking cruelty OF the really
insane men causes that very Juror
to return a verdict OF guilty.
1T is high time for a change.
Murder Is becoming commonplace.
Judges and lawyers should study
criminals as well as criminal law
nd should exercise intelligent dis
cretion and a definite policy in deal
ing with the criminal and the in
