Evidence on Body

Evidence on Body
Asked to tell some actual adven-
lures in the scientific detection of
crime, DR.. Schultze said:
THE evidence which the scientific
investigator secures by examining a
dead body IS more likely to be true
than statements of eye-witnesses.
I'm New York some time ago a man
was tried and convicted for murder.
Two eye-witnesses. honest and I'M
biased. testified that they saw him
stab the deceased. He was known to
be guilty Of reconciliation and malice
aforethought.
"One Of the eye-witnesses captured
the defendant while he still held an
open knife. The jury found the
prisoner guilty Yet examination of
the dead body proved that the man
l was innocent and saved him from the
Il chair
THE victim was running down a
street in the Italian quarter. Two eye
s1esses, one a policeman. saw an
49, man pursuing him. The victim
Freeled and dropped as the pursuer
caught up with him.
man. grabbed the assilant. He held an
open knife in his left hand. The first
man was unconscious from a stab
wound and died on the way to the hos
pital.
malice Toward Deceased"
The investigation developed that
the arrested man bore malice toward
the deceased. The jury found him
guilty of murder and he was sentenced
to the chair.
II was called into the case and
performed an autopsy. The body
showed that the murdered man had
been stabbed with stiletto which
penetrated seven inches and left a
wound a half inch wide. But the
knife in the hand of the defendant was
a peu-knife with a blade one and
three inches long.
1T was impossible therefore. for
the convicted man to have inflicted
the wound with the knife which he
held in his hand when arrested.
Now what really happened was
this: The victim had been stabbed by
one enemy and then had run three
blocks, leaving no trail Of blood. The
wound drained into the abdominal cav.
ity. But he was pursued by a second
enemy, the man with the pen-knife.
But before this second enemy had time
20 stab him he dropped dead from the
wound received from the first.
@Acting on the new information, De
tective Petrosino was able to arrest the
80 guilty. The other man. con
victed by eye-witnesses, was par
doned"

:" Three Wise Fools >

A picture that cannot help but

Rialto Theater yesterday. It is
Goldwyn's first King Vidor pro-
duction, Three Wise Fools" fash
Toned by the director himself from
the successful stage play by Aus
tin Strong. The comedy-drama had
a three years run on the speaking
stage. The screen version has the
reality in character and situation,
the charm and the feeling for
romance and atmosphere which
Vidor gets into all his pictures.
The story concerns three old
men who had been in love with,
end rejected by, the same woman
in their youth. On her death she
leaves her daughter in their charge
and she is soon the center of their
lives. When her father, falsely i'm
prisoned on a forgery charge, es-
capes in a jail-break staged by
other convicts, she drags the three
bachelors into some highly drama
tic and suspensive action which
gives it's big human moments. The
jall-break by the aid of an arrnored
car, is spectacular in the extreme
At the same time the comedy vein
which runs through the story is
never lost sight of.

story have a distinct feeling of

BASEBALL
FILMED AT

William Slavens McNutt's TO-
nance of the diamond, thrilling
With Honor" Is at the Palace
this week.
No. better baseball story than
this has ever been filmed, and it
is doubtful II ever a better one
has been written.
One doesn't necessarily have to
be a baseball fan to enjoy tbis
picture, for after all it's theme
is not so much the national game
as 1t is the game Of life.
The picture is superbly directed,
and is chock full Of human inter-
est and suspense. Baseball ian
or not, anybody who does not sit
forward In his seat and hold his
breath when bat" Shugrue steps
to the plate in that fateful ninIh
inning is cold, motionless body
indeed.
bat" Shugrue had once been
known as the Gas Pipe Kid
While he was doing his ''stretcn"
in the San Quentin 'Pen,' his girl,
Ida Malone, was waiting for nir.1.
Freed from the penitentiary on
parole, the Gas Pipe Kid" beats
up a man on his first day of free
dom, and is once more arrested.
He manages to escape and, OBJ
tanning from Ida Malone the
money she had saved on which
to get married, he leaves town.
Five years later the Gas Pipe
Kid" is seen as bat" Shugrue,
the premier batsman in the West
Coast League, an idol to millions
~ l.
OF the country. However, he has
fallen in with group of ganlb-
lers, who, by bribing him, hope
to clean up on the championship
series between the Los Angeles
and the Vernon teams.
How one Of his Juvenile Wor-
shippers awakens in him his sense
Of honor; how he turns on the
gamblers and instead of throw
ing" the deciding game saves it
with mighty home run in the
end Of the ninth inning, and how
he is reconciled to Ida Malone,
the girl who had waited, ara all
elements of a tense and dramatic
story that will hold you in grip

CENTRAL
Desert Driven"

A high-voltage story of an in
nocent mans ail-break, his torture
when bounded into the desert to
make his getaway sure and the
exciting events that followed his
seeking asylum on the ranch OF
the York's at the edge Of the
parched sands furnishes the high
light of an excellent bill at Gran
of this week. Harry Carey has
not had more gripping or more
plausible vehicle than Desert
Driven in all of his years on the
screen. 1t is tale that possesses
too much theatrical ism. The pre-
dicament in which Bob Grant
found himself seems to the spec
tator to be very real-which is
the acid test Of both action and
acting in the movies.
While Carey shoulders the bulk
of the load in this one, the other
members of the cast are not with
out their important tasks to per-
form. Marguerite Clayton. the
stars lovely blond leading woman,
displays an equal ability to wear
becoming frocks and ride high
geared horses. Alfred Allen is a
Western ranch owner who looks
as If he might be a Western
ranch owner and numerous others
are as true to type. Many Of
the scenes are decidedly pictur
esque and the Purple Cat Cafe in
San Francisco lends the picture
a dash of metropolitan night life
that does not seem at all out of
place.
The auxiliary features of the
bill are also noteworthy. The
comedy is AL Christie's personally
directed blackface scream, Roll
Along" in which all of the Chris
tie funmakers appear, although
unrecognizably since all are cast
in blackface parts. The scene of
this unique departure from thu
beaten path of comedy production
is the far South with cotton fields
and steamboat levees furnishing
the locales of much of the laugh
able action.

Souls For Sale" plays the femi-
nine lead with exquisite charm and
understanding. Cla ude Gilling-
water, who acted the role Of Find
ley in the stage version, has the
same role in the photoplay and
enacts it SO well that screen fans
should see to it that he is never
allowed to stop acting for the films.
He is one of the three wise FOOLS:
the other, two are veterans of the
stage, William H. Crane and Alec
Francis. They certainly succeed
in enlisting the sYmpathies for
the three old cronies who agree
to take charge of a beautiful but
self-wtlled young girl.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter De Haven
in "The Panic Is On" undoubtedly
have one of the cleverest comedies
this talented pair have produced to
date, the News reel is exception
ally interesting, while a proper
description of the scenic with the
music score arranged by Assistant
Director Calude V. Burrows is de-
serving of highest praise.

Somehow the idea seems to prevail that those whom we love belong to us. body and soul-that they are our chattels just as much as any slave that was ever sold on the auction block
 The great majority of parents e. gart theI" 'l bdren as their personal property, and feel that they nave just as much. right to do as they please with them as they would with horse or any othe. animal that they own.
 In the lower ranks of life this feeling takes the form of exploiting their children for money and the reason that 1t is necessary to enact child labor laws is because so many fathers and mothers sell their little children into slavery so that they may live in idleness on the labor Of the toilfng little hands.

Cashmere Patterns To Be The NeweSt
 Vogue

The newest thing in fabrics for the fall are the new smyrna cloths in the Cashmere patterns, which are already being exhibited in New York.
 The Smyrna cloths are an impor- tant group, says Miss Cook in the New fork Tribune. They are what is known in the trade as the carpet weave, being woven with a loopeu surface either in an all-over effect or in brocade or plaided pattern. One lovely dt sign shows a sort of Jap anese landscape effect in raised loop pattern on background of con- trasting color. Another smyrna novelty in l laid pattern initiates in coioring and design the famous clan tartans of Scotland. A third type is a smyrna brocadt the design of which suggests the foliage of the jungle.
 Cashmere patterns, which initiate perfectly old fashioned hanG loom shawls, are shown in a beautiful series of patterns. One of the best is that called Chambord. Another in- teresting one is Radjany and a third Ramayana. All three are in the intricate design of cashmere and Persia. One wonders how it is pos sible for a machine to weave with such exquisite and infinite detail.
 Another cloth which promises to have great popularity is Marcarillo. This is a sort of velour de laine with a pattern in contrasting color which takes the form of stripes. And along with the craze for these fancy weaves one finds that the autumn silk jersey cloths are being elabo- rately embroidered all ever in vari- tones.
 A great many three piece suits in which the jacket wrap Is three-quar- nd ie h shown. Many of the dresses are in straight chemise form with the coat in straight, close-fitting style or in the gored, flared effect. Ths latter is distinctly newer.
 Some of sthe three-piece suits have long tunic bodies made of metal brocade or velvet One wonders if this anticipates the very long over- blouse as a possible sequence to this new fashion.
