Flight of Game Birds.
Measuring the flight of birds is
not an exact science but most au-
thorities agree hat of all game birds
ducks are the speediest, with the
canVasback in the lead. The speed
of the various kinds is estimated as
follows:
Kind of Bird and feet per second:
Plover, SO to so.
Jack snipe, 65
Ruffed Grouse, rs.
Quail, 70.
Mallard, rs.
Black duck, rs.
Prairie chicken, 70.
Dove, So.
Blue bill. 10 to 140.
Wild goose, 40 to 125.
Red head, 40.
/ ~Canvasback, las.
In shooting game birds this speed
has to be taken into consideration
together with the fact that a 12-
gauge shell loaded with 3A drains
of powder and rs ounces No. 2
chilled shot gives an average veloc-
ity of 1856 feet per second at 40
yards.

Oh dear Hazel how we do miss you

the theory that the killing oc-
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1923-01-25

Cured in Pollard's flat were due
to the fact, it is learned, than
Mrs. j. w. Jones, a neighbor,
living next door, was understood
to have stated that she saw a
woman in the second7story flat
shortly before the shooting. That
Mrs. Jones saw woman IN the
flat is not doubted, but their be-
lief is that it was some person
other than Pollard's former ste
nographer. 1t is understood that
the defense will endeavor to prove
that this woman was Pollard's
wife, who is said to have called at
the flat with her little daughter
that night before the killing TO
pet some of her belongings which
She left behind when she decided
a few weeks previously to quit
her husband.
The prosecution, it is known,
does net believe that the woman
in question was either the wife Of
Pollard or Mrs. Richardson. In
stead it believes tha5 she was an
other woman friend of his and that
she made q hurried exit through
the rear when Mrs. Richardson
arrived in an automobile with j..
Mosby West and rang the front
doorbell. One theory entertained
in this connection is that Pollard
refused to admit his former typist
until the other woman had been
gwen sufficient time to get off
the premises and that his delay
in admitting her may have precip-
itated the scuffle on the thresh-
hold in which she is alleged to
have been shot to death.
