Betty Blythe Is Back.

Betty Blythe is back from Europe.
And, what is more, she has brought
back with her a precious cargo that
could not be catalogued by the GUS
tomhouse officials. Which is to say
that she has observed and she has
seen. She has looked upon postwar
Europe through the filter of a fine
and original imagination. and she
has store of information and anec-
dotes of royalty and the hostelries

Hath thy too fondly cherished one proven traitor?
And dost thou vainly question glade and glen?

Execution of Chinese Student
Convicted in 1920 Set

Ziang Sun Wan, the young Chinese
student convicted early in 1920 of the
murder of Ben Sen WI, undersecre-

The case was tried before the late
Justice Ashley NJ. Gould, and much of
the delay in getting the case to the
appellate court was due to the death
of the justice. Chief Justice Mccoy
reviewed the evidence and signed the
bill of exceptions.

to have been not only without error,

which the Law throws around a per
son accused of crime for the protec-

court held. as a matter of law, that

justice OF the court may review the
testimony and sign the bill of ex-
ceptions, and it is not necessary, as
claimed by counsel for the defense
that a new trial be granted.
The appellate court affirmed the ac-
ton of Justice Gould in admitting state
ments made by Wan to the detectives
while he was being held at a local
hotel as guest Of the police. 1t will be
observed, the court says, that the great
est deliberation and consideration was
displayed by the officers toward the de-

accused claimed to be tired and wanting

the next day, when he accompanied
them to the mission. where he detailed
the killing. but charged another Chinese
