other attorney.
Cross-examined by the Common

The Commonwealth explained to

Miller along this line in an effort to
show that Pollard was eager for
Mrs. Richardson to be rid of her
husband so that he could continue
his intimate relations with her with

Defense counsel insisted that the
aivorce records should speak for
themselves, and with the consent
,f the court, read sections of the
records with a view of showing that
Mrs. Richardson sought the divorce
strictly of her own volition. be-
cause her husband had deserted
her, taking practically all the
household effects with him, and
that Pollard's participation as a
witness was only an incidental
feature of the proceedings.
There was nothing in the records,

Fully launched upon her long
planned concert tour of America,
Miner Gamma Walska today broke
her two years silence. In an
exclusive interview for the Hearst
newspapers, Nine. Walska ex-
planned the many erroneous stories
which she said had been circulated
about her and told why she want

Life No Longer Private.
She explained before leaving for
Detroit, where she sings tonight,
that having made her concert debut
here, she no longer felt she was
leading a private life as the bride
of Harold F. Mccormick, multi
millionaire harvester machinery
manufacturer.
Madame Walska sang to a packed
house last night which gave her
ovation upon ovation. Her voice
was never better and critics re.
marked upon the purity of tone
and her vocal artistry. Before
hurrying to her train she declared
it was the happiest moment of her
life, having won recognition from
her first American audience.
But it infuriates Madame Walska
to receive plaudits as a singer sim
ply because she is Mrs. Harold

Some. Of the nurses and she

signed the petition demanding
the reinstatement of Raymond

emit, today reconsidered their &C.
ton and notified hospital authori-
ties they will not strike.
Mrs. C.. Babendreier, new SUI
perintendent of the hospital,
made this statement this after
noon.
She said that several of the
nurses had reconsidered their
action, not because they did not
want Schulteis reinstated, or did
not believe in him, but because
they would not leave i'll patients
in need of attention.
Granted Registration.
1.-The nurses who have withdrawn
their names from the petition are
supporters of Mr.. Schulteis," Mrs.
Babendreier said. They all like
him and consider him every bit an
efficient official"
Mrs. Baben6Seier also announced
this afternoon that Casualty Hos
pital had been granted registra-,
ton for a year. The hospital has
been seeking this registration for
fifteen years, the superintendent
said.
Strike or no strike, Casualty Hos

of directors of the institution, de-
clared today.
Behind closed doors, the presi.
dent and directors met to consider
the petition of employees demand
ing the reinstatement of Raymond
Schulteis, whose resignation as
superintendent was demanded and
obtained last week by the directing
board.
President Tucker declared today
that as far as he was concerned
SchulteiS would not be brought back.
Miss Jennie Helm, who resigned as
superintendent of the operating
room, will also continue to be an
ex-emplOye, Tucker said.
1.-The position Of the employees who
sign the petition is ridiculous" he
declared. II am sure they do not
know the full facts of the case, or
they would not take the action they
did"
Plans Investigation.
1t seemed certain today that the
board of directors would not grant
the plea asked in he petition. There
were also hints Of wholesale firing
of every person who signed the Pc
titiOn.
In the conference today, it is
said, President Tucker will begin
a sweeping investigation Of condi-

those i'm which alleged bOOtlegging
