 in Her Room

| New York, Oct. 15.-JoSeph A 1 Thornton, negro janitor in the East S5th street apartment house in which Edgar Wallace. chief correspondent ir the w. E. D. Stokes divorce case, had a suite, was the first witness called when the trial was resumed today. | He previously had testified that during the summer of 1914 he had seen a red haired woman resembling Mrs. Stokes enter the Wallace apart ment three or four times.
 Samuel Untermyer, chief counsel for Mrs. Stokes. asked him what he would have said if he told him that Mrs. Stokes was in Kentucky through out the summer of 1914 and gave birth to one of her children in Denver that fall.
 "I'd say she looked very much like the woman," Thornton replied.
 After MT. Untermyer had put the question several times and Thornton had made the same answer, Supreme Court Justice Mahoney asked the witness:
 "1s that as strong as you want to go?"
 Yes" tr.
 will you tell the jury definitely" asked Mir. Untermyer, If Mrs. Stokes was the woman you saw leaving the S5th street house?"
 When Thornton answered no there was a furry in the courtroom.
 Max Steur, chief counsel for MT. Stokes then asked:
 "Is there any doubt in your mind that Mrs Stokes was the woman you ssaw at S5th street?"
 NO sir"
 MT. Untermyer arising from his seat told Thornton he had contra dicted his previous statement asked was your answer to Mir. Steur true?"
 No sir" came the answer, firm and clear.
 Miss Agricola Byers, negress, pantry woman during the fall of 1917 and the winter of 1918 in a tea room in the house where Wallace had his apart ment. testified under questioning by Mir. Steur. that she had seen Mrs. Stokes quite number of times in the Wallace apartment in the fall of 1917. She said she frequently carried food to the apartment and then visited 1t to remove the trays of dishes
 Asked whether she had seen Mrs. Stokes closely, she answered.
 "Yes, in bed"

That the action of the commo or council taken at Il special meeting lasi "Wednesday evening at which recon mendation of the charity board that contracts be entered into with the C, l.. X D. Construction Co.,. for the erection of new town home build ing were rejected and contracts with the c. s. Porriss Co. of Hartford were authorized. amounted to practically nothing. is the finding of Corporation Counsel John II. Nrkham as express ed in an opinion given to Mayor A. M. Paonessa at the latter's request.
 Explains Limit of Councils Powers
 The councils powers are limited to accepting or rejecting contracts rec commended by the board of charities, but it has no power to make a con- tract or order one made. This is the contention of Mayor A. M Paonessa and of the charity board. Following last Wednesdays session, at which the charity boards recommendation was rejected on the ground that it was an award to bidder other than the low est priced contractor, the mayor asked Judge Kirkham for an opinion. At that time. the mayor said he felt the powers of the council had been ex- ceeded.
