 AT LOEW'S BIJOU
 Finely interwOven comedy perdomi- mates the bill at Loew's BijoN theatre for the week.
 "Polly's Pearls" proved some what different musical farce, when pre- scented by the sextette of clever play CTS. The act is based on a good plot and is bubbling over with comedy and laughter, which when combined with songs and dances, made it deserve its place as headliner.
 Bell and Le Clair did the clOwnins act to q perfection and proved almost as good as the headliner, with their wise cracks and jokes. Another fea- ture is the way the youngsters can manipulate their feet.
 The Bellis Duo is furnishing the ath- letic act for the week and are present. ing novel series of stunts. Mrs. Bills act is marked by great strength and endurance.
 Songs for the bill are being fur nished by the three rounders. Caulfield. Ritche and Company are supplying the dancing and music of more classical nature.
 The photoplay presentation, ''The Heart Bandit" it built on a strong and appealing thought and is interwoven with touches of comedy that improve it to a great extent. Viola Dana is playing the leading role opposite Mil. ton Sills. -J. Nj. c.

medicine she had received. Having
gotten her answer he turned to the
transcript of the preliminary examina-
tions taken on two occasions, and IN
each case read her different answers
which she admitted she had made.
"Now Miss Brick, which of those
three answers is the truth ?" he asked.
For a moment she did not answer
Then the tears came, and she said that
the answers which she had just made
were true.
"You mean that your memory is bet
ter now regarding events which took
place in 1922, than it was year ago
The girl made no answer. "Then you
admit that it is untrue that you took
only one pill and threw the rest
away ?" the attorney asked. To which
the girl answered, "Yes.''
"Isn't it true that the way that hap
pened was this: You complained OF
headache in the kitchen where Mrs.
Beckman was ironing and you were
standing at the sink washing the dish
es. Mr.. Beckman then asked his wife
where the aspirin tablets were and
she replied in the medicine cabinet
and added that you should take one
because they were a great help?"
The witness replied that she couldn't
remember.
Unbelievably Innocent.
The girl then told story of abso-
Lutte innocence. She said that she did
not know that she was in trouble un-
til the baby was born. She admitted
that she had all the symptoms, but
that they did not arouse the suspicion
that all was not as it should be. She
said that she had experienced nausea
while living at home, but that her
mother had never noticed it for she
had never seen her sick.
Reference to answers made on this
point in the preliminary examination
showed that she had admitted at that
time that her mother had seen her
sick a few times. The girl also said
that she did not know that what she
charged Beckman had done was wrong.
At first she said that she did not know
what caused her to have baby, but
reference to preliminary examination
testimony made her change her testi-
mony on this question.
Asked if her clothing was mussed
up at the time of the assault she said
it was not. Again the defense coun-
sci referred to the transcript of testi-
mony where the girl had made diff
ferent answer Then she admitted
that her clothes had been mussed up,
and that the statement which she had
just given was untrue.
Been Out With Men.
Questioned as to whether she knew
an Italian boy by the name of Mike
Aillo, she replied that she did not,
nor that she had been boat-riding
with him. She also denied that she
had ever been to show with anyone
except girls. She said that she did
not know Paul.
Again Attorney Stephenson referred
to the transcript and read her the an
swers she had made on preliminary
examination where she admitted that
she had been out with Mike, knew a
boy by the name of Paul, had been at
Anderson park with him, had been
boat-riding with Mike, and that dur
sing April of 1921 she had been out
with at least two boys.
Although Attorney Stephenson trap
ped the witness on more than score
of questions, where she admitted that
her testimony was not true, he did
not raise his voice, but was appar-
emily trying to refresh her faulty
memory.

respected. It was asked that this Sec
ton of Albers street be changed from
D residential district to an F COM
mercial district. The petition was re-
ferred to the city plan commission,
which holds its regular meeting to-
day and will act on the petition.
