No Improvement
In Railroad Strike

With President Harding trying to
determine whether his presence be-
fore congress would help or hinder a
settlement in the railroad strike, and
q peace meeting be nihgeld in New
York, final settlement seems re-
mote at this time.
The tieup at Corbin remains about
the same with the union trainmen
refusing to operate the engines until
armed guards are removed. A few
passenger trains are being run over
this division of the l.. & NJ, while the
country is being deprived of approx
imately 600 cars daily.
Passenger service in this city is
fairly good with all trains running
and keeping fairly good schedules.
Freight service is not so good and
complaints in this department are
numerous.

MARY PlcKFoRo AT THE TAe6

Mary Pickford, most popular of all
screen stars, and known as the
worlds sweetheart" will appear at
the Tabb Monday and Tuesday
nights in her greatest success, "Lit-
tie Lord Fauntleroy." The story is
taken from the book of that name
by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and
will appeal to both children and
grownups. The role of the Little
Lord" is said to be most admirably
suited to Mary Pickford's style OF
acting and her portrayal of this
lovely child character is thought by
many to be her very best work. Press

natl at one time.
A number of times Hardman was
seen in Mrs. Renaker's machine on
the streets of Winchester because
she as a matter of courtesy" of
fered him a ride downtown after
visiting the Douglas home.
During the hour Mrs. Renaker was
on the witness stand the prosecution
conferred its energies on an effort to
show that Hardman sought to be in
Mrs. Renaker's company as much as
possible, and to prove it was his de
sire to have Renaker out of the way.
When his trial started Hardman
was apparently as cool and composed
as ever, but as the hearing progress
ed and details of his associations
with the widow of the man he is ac-
cused of numbering came out he ap-
peared nervous.
Keen interest was taken in the
proceedings, as startling develop
ments we're expected. The court
room was crowded early. Women
outnumbered men and many mothers
carried babies in their arms. Chill

Guided.
Maury Kemper. in his speech for
the prosecution, endeavored to show
that robbery was not the motive and
that the murderer of Leon Renaker
was one who had experience In the
handling of dead bodies. He stated
that Hardman was with the men
who were disenterring the bodies of
the dead soldiers in France and had
had experience with the bodies of
the dead. Mr.. Kemper stated that
the person who committed that
crime was undoubtedly familiar with
the premises of Renaker and knew
the details of the house. There was
a motive other than robbery, stated
Mr. Kemper, and Scobee Hardman
was the only person who could have
had a motive.
Judge Hays called all the testi-
mony that the commonwealth had
brought out gossip" He also said
that no witnesses had testified to
facts or circumstances that would
implicate Hardman. and no evidence
had been brought up to show that
Hardman bore i'll will toward Rena-

Hardman Held
Without Bond

Holding of Scobee Hartman, charg.
ed with the murder of Leon Renaker,
to the September grand jury without
bail, and the arrest OF Reese Fox,
Hardman's companion on the night
of the murder, we're the outstanding
developments of Hardman's examin-
ing trial at Winchester yesterday.
Fox was arrested on a warrant
charging completely in the murder,
sworn out by Walter Renaker, bro
Their of the slain man, after Hardin
Smith, ferryman at Boonesboro,
had identified Fox as one of the two
men who had crossed the ferry the
night of the murder.
The defense offered no testimony
at yesterdays hearing. After the
prosecution had closed the case for
the commonwealth, Judge J. Smith
Hays, attorney for the defense,
spoke briefly that most of the testi-
mony offered was merely gossip
and that no evidence had been pro-
duced which would incriminate the
defendant. Maury Kemper, of Lex
ington, who is assisting County At
torney H. HI. Moore in the prosecu-
ton, declared that the evidence was
sufficient to warrant holding Hard
man and urged that no bond be al
lowed
Fox is "a years old and is a son of
Mrs. Richard Fox He lives with
his grandfather. John Reese, on a
farm three miles from Winchester.
Fox was in the court room yesterday
morning. He was found on the street
when the warrant was issued and
was Immediately placed in jail.
Fox owns a Dodge roadster in
which the two men are accused of
having crossed the river at Boones-
boro at o'clock the morning Rem
aker was killed.
Smith, the ferryman, said the pair
occupied a Dodge roadster with half
curtains. He testified that they did
not return the way they came, but
that it would have been possible for
them to have made the return jour
ney by way of Clay's Ferry bridge,
eleven miles from Boonesboro.
This, testimony, the prosecution as
serted; is in line with that of Mrs. H.
r. Prather, who previously had said
that she was awakened on the night
of the Renaker murder by rays from
the headlight of an automobile shin
ing through the window of her home
on a street paralleling that on which
Renaker lived. She testified that the
machine was a roadster with half
curtains. She also previously had
said that she heard one of the occu-
pants of the car say, 81 have finished
him." or "it," she was uncertain
which.

on the stand as a prosecution wit

Winchester Attraction
Saturday and Sunday

The Winchester Dodgers will be
the attraction at Fair Grounds park
Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
There has always been a good deal
of friendly rivalry between these two
teams and as they are both going at
top speed, both games will be for
blood and immense crowds are GER
tain to be on hand. Nehrey and Har-
rison will do the twirling for the Es-
sex, while the Dodgers will likely
present their two star hurlers, Rasty
Wright and Lengthy" Powell. Lack
ey will be behind the bat for the 10
Gals and two hard-fought games are
anticipated
Lexington is the attraction at the
local park this afternoon and our
boys seem confident of taking the
STUDIES into camp.
Lefty" Townsend and Catcher
Monk have both been given their re-
lease by the Mt. Sterling club, and
it is reported they will likely get .
berth with the Lexington outfit, and
it is probable that Monk will catch
for them today.
In an exhibition game at Owings-
vile on Tuesday afternoon the Es-
sex defeated the Bath county lads
to the tune of ID to 6. The twirling
was done by Wilbers and Weichman.
