with the viewing of the perilous
feats in the motor dome at the carni-
val held mere last week I cannot help
ecalling as one OF the great thrills
of my life an instance in which Just
such a rider as was seen at the mo-
tor dome met his death at Long
Beach, Cal. The rider had worked
his motorcycle to top speed and was
circling the sides of the great WOODEN
dome with the temerlty to which he
was accustomed. Suddenly he seemed
to lose control, Something was wrong.
There was a swaying motion and n
sudden crush as the machine turned
to n vertical position and went back
over the body OF the cyclist.
MANY OF the women who saw the
accident were SC shocked at the trag-
edy that they turned away from the

ALIEN|STS TEST
10 YEAR OLD IN
DROWNING CASE
Little Girl Who Admits Kill
ing 4-YearOld Faces
Inquisitors Calmly

BOSTON, Mass, July 21.-CUnited
Press)-Elizabeth Mcdonald, 10, al
legged slayer OF 4-ynar-old Sonny
James Mcdonald. who she admitted
drowning under an old wharf in Chel-
sea. sat in the Suffolk county jail 10,
night wondering why three solemn
men asked her innumerab!e Silly
questions"
The child, who persons say is men
tally sub normal. was examined by a
commission oil three aiienists. They
will make their report on the strange
little girl 10 the district attorney. Just
what is TO become of Elizabeth de-
pends, to a great extent, It was under
stodr. upon the report OF the alien
lists.
Elizabeth faced the three men
whose business It was TO find out
what goes on in the mind behind her
large dark eyes without signs of nerv.
She seemed to scent a new
adventure and answered their quiet
voiced questions good ~naturedly. She
even smiled at some OF the things she
was asked TO answer. for TO her It all
seemed so Rimless and stupid.
But each time the girl spoke the
pAA1 1AkAAAAo AAhN'd C AAu 10
she talked. something of her charac-
ter and thoughts were unconsciously
revealed. Evasive replies told the
a~lienists rs much as some of the
straightforward statements she made.
Elizabeth is the youngest person
held in the county Jail here. The law
provides that no person under Il
years old may be held in jail in this
state except on a charge OF murder.
Men and women OF the underworld.
held in their ~steel.barred coils on vari-
GUS charges, showed unusual interest
in the ohild prisoner.
A touching scene was enacted when
Mrs. Louise l., Mcdonald. the girls
mother. visited her late today. Like
any other little girl, she raj to her
mothers arms with a glad cry.
Mrs. Mcdonald, a little woman,
hardly taller than Elizabeth held the
child close and wept softly. Then
they talked and Elizabeth asked o
home and her brother and sister
Johnny n Mabel. She wanted to
know what her p'aymates were doing
and many other things that interest
girls. Her mother avoided discussion
Of the girls case.
When Mrs. Mcdonald left the child
went bitterly and she wal still sob
bling when Mrs, Mott gently led her
back TO her room.
No further action in the case is ex'
peoted until Elizabeth is arraigned in
Juvenile court next Thursday.
