Mr.. Bill.
Any hour of the day, you will find
Mr.. Bill at his wheel, motoring pas

reaches the sky-excusing the fib-
and every minute of that time his
duty is seasoned with a kindness
that only people know about who
know people like Mr.. Bill.
And always he wears a rose in
the lapel of his coat.
Every regular rider knows about
the daily rose. but as Mr.. Bill Is
a silent man in business hours, ex-

at few and far-between waits, nobody
ever ventured a peek into the mys-

travelling up and down with him

answered the same way:

whose home is in Utica, N. Y, might
have hidden in one of the college
buildings and now be in weakened
condition. the cellars and closets of
the recitation halls were searched un-
der the direction of Franklin King,
superintendent of buildings and
grounds.
In East Hampton, S. L. c. Nc
Gowan, a druggist, was shown a
photograph of Miss Corbett, by her
father, James II. Corbett, who is here
helping the the search and who has
offered $500 reward for word con-
corning his daughter and by State
Detective Joseph DAILY Of this city.
MCGOWAN declared the photograph
resembled a girl in a yellow slicker
who stopped at his store Friday
morning at $50 o'clock, bought some
refreshments and inquired when the
next trolley left for Springfield.
The motorman and conductor In
charge of this trolley, which left
Easthampton at 1905 o'clock were
interviewed today by college author
tiles. 1t was reported that while
there were few persons on the car
on this trip he could recall no girl Of
Miss Crobett's description. This led
to the belief that Miss Corbett might
still be in the vicinity Of Easthamp-
ton.
A party of more than 100, led by
Mr.. King, and including Major A. y.
Beckmann, high sheriff of Hampshire
county. Boy Scouts, more than rs
employees of Smith College and q
| number of citizens were combing the
woods in the vicinity of Northammp-
ton. 1t was believed the missing
college girl might have wandered in
that direction.
A report from Springfield that r.
P. Martin, travelling salesman, had
given a girl answering Miss Cor
belts description a ride to Miller
Falls last Friday afternoon, was dis
carded in the search for clues today
when Martin examined pictures of
Miss Corbett and said she was not
the girl who rode with him.
Late tonight a group of Boy Scout
searcherS brought word from West
Farms, four miles northwest of
Easthampton, that farmer in that
district had seen a girl answering
Miss Corbett's description this after
noon. State Detective DAILY and two
carloads of men imme diately started
for that vicinity.
The search around Easthampton
will be continued tomorrow and

tured skull.
She won local fame by capturing
several beauty contests and bore the
title Of Miss Nantasket." Her brief
career behind the footlights included
a place in the chorus of Earl Car
rolls "Vanities" when they played in
Boston a year ago.
Although the girl wore a wedding
ring she had not been married, as faS
as her aunt, Mrs. Green. knew.
Police have questioned other
guests at the party who included
Miss Pearl Wedge of Somerville and
Raymond Lee of Worcester. All had
been drinking, police said.
Miss Hopkins had started to leave
for home and Kenney, the taxi driv-
err, was waiting for her in response
to an earlier call. Other guests said
Miss Hopkins failed to see the ban
lister and stumbled over it, falling
through a clear area four stories to
the vestibule floor below.
The death of the girl was the Gull
mination Of a series of tragedies
which had overshadowed her life.
At the age of 16 both her parents
and two sisters died within single
year at their home in Nashua, N. H,
She was adopted by a Mrs. Emeline
White of that city only to run away
a short time afterwards, coming to
Boston where she at first made her
home with an aunt, Mrs. Isabelle
Green.
The tragedy which deprived her
of home caused her to seek solace
of forgetfulness in the gayeties OF
the city, her friends told police. She
even changed her name and to many
was known as Olive Jackson. AS
such she rented an apartment in
Cambridge about three weeks ago.

Mrs. COOksOn
Suffering from Bad
Nervous Shock

Mrs. Leon B. Cookson. who Is SUI
fering q nervous shock at a local
hospital after firing two shots at her
husband last Thursday night and
wounding him in the cheek and arm,
will not be in condition to appear
in the local court for several days.
Saturday afternoon Sheriff Henry
Cummings talked for some time with
the woman but she was still to feeble
to carry on q sustained conversation
or to sit up.
One interesting fact that may have
a bearing on the woman's present
actions was brought out by the sher-
if. About 20 years ago, when Mrs.
Cookson was eight years old, she
suffered q blow at the back Of the
head from which she has never fully
recovered. Since that time she has
been subject to fainting fits and to
spells and it was feared that if she
were to be too strenuously ques-
Of these.
Mrs. Cookson made no definite
statement as to what motivated her
to call her husband from the home
Of friend on the Oakland road
last Thursday night and fire the
shots at him. She did, however,
say that her husband had abused
her In many ways.
Thursday was the FIRST time that
the woman had been in this city
since last October 10 and she had
been working in a shoe factory in
Gardiner. The gun, she said, was
bought second hand from another
person.
On the day of the shooting Mrs.
Cookson said that she came to Wa
terville on the afternoon train to
see her lawyer. She found that he
was not in the city and from his
office she went to the home of a
friend near to that where her hus-
band was staying and here she had
supper.
Mrs. Cookson's recollection of the
actual shooting and of what trans
pired between that and the time that
she was found by Deputy Sheriff
Cole lying on O. bed in her own house
in a feeble condition was very vague.
After she had fired the shots, she
said, she walked about the streets
for time and she remembered see
ing the police who were looking for
her. At what time she returned to
her home she was unable to say but
she knew that it was before 1t COM
menced raining. Rain started to
fall Friday morning about o'clock.
The woman's health has much i'm
proved since she was taken to the
hospital Friday noon and 1t Is the
opinion of DR.. John G.. Towne that
she will regain her strength before
the present week is over. Saturday
the woman's brother, Basil Mac
Donald of Gardiner, was In the city
for a short time and he visited his
sister at the hospital. Cookson, VINO
was not seriously injured by the Dull
let's has shown continued improve
ment.
