New Dance Hard on Ankles
and Joints, Trial
Shows.
BY Ross III. Garrigus

The best way to fall for a girl
is to try learning the Charleston.
You'll fall flat every time.
l try to keep up with the times.
Believe in wearing yellow slickers,
oxford bags, long hair cuts, shirts
with collars pulled down tc show the
neck in toto; and [ believe in wise
cracks on flivvers. Years may be
heavy on my brow, but I'm rah-hah
in spirit.
So, when everybody talked about
doing the Charleston l figured I'd
better get in step.
oh calisthenics. where is thy
sting?
How they dance it with wide, flip
pity-flop trousers. 1 don't see.
My partner was Portia Durant,
210S f. Riverside DR.. She dances
with Gene La Verne. who is giving
free lessons at the Riverside Dance
Palace for Times readers.
All anybody needs is to clip the
coupon appearing daily in The Times
and present it at the dance palace.
The lesson hours on every night
but Saturday and Sunday are from
8 to 1890. on Saturday and Sun
day nights the hours are from to
$50.
l always thought Charleston was
the capital of some State. It's cap
ital, all right; capital punishment.
My poor ankles wobbled as
criss-crossed them to do the scissors.
My joints creaked when I did the
bend knee.
And when I did the side dip-oh.
lumbago.
"You should be more light on your
feet" said Miss Durant. You know
airy fairy"
"Ah," said I. You don't know
who I am. do your"
"Nooooo."
"Well-I'm the guy who put the
ton in Charleston"

The defense witness also testi-
fled that two tickets had been re-
4 served through the Washington
Hotel that night for Pullman
staterOOm, in StephensOn's name.
The testimony marked a sensa-
tional morning. Court was adjourned
at noon until Monday morning.
The Dying Statement
The dying declaration left by
Madge, keystone Of the States de-
fense, relates that Madge was taken
to the hotel while the tickets were
obtained, but that Stephenson and
Gentry sat beside her on the back
seat. forcing her to keep silent. II
is the first time the defense has adj
mitted the declaration is anything
but an assumption, a forgery, or the
rawlings of a poisoned woman in
great pain.
The defense regarded Lambert's
testimony as direct blow at the
death statement.
Lambert was subjected to a suave
but grilling oss-eXamination by
William II. Remy, Marion County
prosecutor. Lambert said he was
subpoenaed Friday by Carl Losey,
former State policeman, and alleged
henchman of Stephenson's.
Another Sensation

Edward e. Schultze, Laurel, Ind,
who testified that Stephenson and
Madge visited at thoir home about
an hour one evening a year ago this
month.
