Plans for merging the re-
leasing interest of United Ar
lists and Metro Goldwyn- Mayer,
two of the biggest motion pic
ture producers, have been aban-
doned, it was learned today.
Joseph Schenck, of United
Artists, announced that owing
to protests from many exhibitors
the plan had been given up. He
denied that efforts of Charlie
Chaplin had blocked the move.
United Artists, owned by
Schenck, Chaplin, Douglas Fair
banks and Mary Pickford, is to
have a fifth partner, Schenck
declared, and report had it that
the new member is to be Gloria
Swanson.
Schenck said Miss Swanson
would probably be releasing
through United Artists next
year.
Fifteen, instead of six pic
lures are to be produced an
nually by United Artists in the
future.

Crosbie had placed on the table, and
then his eyes Travelled to the khaki
shorts he wore showing his red,
hairy thighs, the tennis shirt open at
the neck, without a tie, and the dirty
khaki jacket He looked as though
he had just come in from a long tramp

You know, it is a damned shame that
they should have arrested her"
Il think they had to do that" Mr..
Joyce answered in his level, soft
tone.
II should have thought they'd let
her out on bail"
IT'S a very serious charge
ut is damnable. She did what any
decent woman would do in her place.
Only nine women out of ten wouldn't
have the pluck. Lesie's the best
woman in the world. She Wouldn t

I've been married TO her for II years;
do you think | don't know her? God,
If I'd got hold OF the man nave

without a moments hesitation. So

My dear fellow, everybody's on
your side. No one has a good word to
say for Hammond. We're going to
get her off. l don't suppose single
member of the jury will go into the
box without having already made up
his mind to bring a verdict OF not
guilty"
"The whole things a farce" said
Crosbie, violently. "She ought never
to have been arrested in the first
place; and then it's terrible, after all
the poor girls gone through, to sub
ject her to the ordeal of a trial.
There's not a soul I've met since I've
been in Singapore, man or woman,
who hasn't told me that Leslie was
absolutely justified. I thine it's awful
to keep her in prison all these weeks"
The law is the law. After all, she
confesses that she killed the man. 1t
is terrible, and I'm dreadfully sorry
both for you and for her"
Il don't matter two straws," inter
dupted Crosbie.
But the fact remains that murder
has been committed, and in a civilized

Piles. But inside the office of MessrS.
Ripley, Joyce & Naylor it was pleas
antly cool. 1t was dark after the dusty
-glitter of the street, and agTeeably
quiet after it's unCeasing din. Mr..
Joyce sat in his private room, at the
table. with an electric fan turned full
on him. He was leaning back, his ell
bows on the arms of the chair, with
the TIPS Of the outStretched fingers of
one hand resting neatly against the
tips of the outstretched fingers of the
other. His gaze rested on the battered
volumes of the Law Society Journal
which stood on long shelf opposite
him. On the top of a cupboard were
square boxes of japanned tin on
which were painted the names of rub
Der companies.
There was a knock at the glass
door
Come in"
A Chinese clerk. very neat in his
white ducks. opened it.
MIR. Crosbie is here, sir
He spoke beautiful English, accent
ing each word with precision, and Mr.
Joyce had often wondered at the eX-
tent of his vocabulary. Ong Chi SenG
was a Cantonese and he had taken a
degree in law at the University of
Hongkong He was industrious,
obliging and of exemplary character.
"Show him in" said Mr.. Joyce.
He rose to shake hands with his
visitor and asked him to sit down.
The light fell on him as he did So
The face Of Mr.. Joyce remained IN
shadow. He was by nature silent
man and now he looked at Robert
Crosbie for quite a minute without
speaking. Crosbie was big fellow
well over feet high, with broad
. shoulders, and muscular. He was
rubber planter, hard with the con-
stant exercise of walking over the
estate and with the tennis which was
his relaxation when the days work
was over He was deeply sunburned.
His hairy hands, his feet in clumsy
boots. were enormous, and Mr.. Joyce
found himself thinking that a blow
of that great fist would easily kill the
fragile Tamil. But there was no
ferceness in his blue eyes; they We're
confding and gentle; and his face,
with it's big, undistinguished features,
was open. frank and honest. But at
this moment it bore look of deep
distress. 1t was drawn and haggard.
You look as though you hadn't had
much sleep the last night or two,
said Mr.. Joyce.

rs it murder to eXterminate noxious
vermin? She shot him as she would
have shot a mad dog
Mr.. Joyce leaned back again in his
chair and once more placed the tips
of his ten fingers together. The little
construction he formed looked like
the skeleton of a roof. He was silent
for a moment.
II should be wanting in my duty as
your legal adviser" he said at last, in
an even voice, looking at his client
with his cool, brown eyes, ''if | did
not tell you that there is one point
which causes me just a little anxiety.
If your wife had only shot Hammond
once the whole thing would be abso-
lutely plain sailing. Unfortunately,
she fired six times"
Her explanation is perfectly sim
pie. Under the circumstances any one
would have done the same"
81 dare say" said Mr.. Joyce, land
of course / think the explanation is
very reasonable. But it's no good clos
ing your eyes to the fact It's always
| a good plan to put yourself in an
other mans place, and I can't deny
that if I were prosecuting for the
| crown that is the point on which l
would center my inquiry"
MY uedF IellOW, Inat s perfectly
| idiotic.''
Mr.. Joyce shot a sharp glance at
Robert Crosbie. The shadow of a
smile hovered over his shapely lips.
Crosbie was a good fellow, but he
could hardly be described as intelli-
gent.
II dare say it's of no importance, ,"
| answered the lawyer; Il just thought
it was point worth mentioning. You
haven't got very long to wait now.
and when it's all over l recommend
you to go off somewhere with your
wife on a trip and forget all about il.
Even though we are almost dead GER
tain to get an acquittal, a trial of
that sort is anxious work and you II
both want a rest"
For the first time Crosbie smiled,
and his smile strangely changed his
face. You forgot his uncouthness aud
saw only the goodness of his soul.
Il think l shall want it more than
Leslie. She's borne up wonderfully.
BY God. there's a plucky little woman
for you"
Yes, I've been very much struck by
her self-control." said the lawyer 'I
should never have guessed that she
was capable of such determination"

formed the entertainment OF her long
hours of leisure. When Mr.. Joyce
saw her she was neatly dressed in
cool, fresh, simple frocks, her hair
was carefully dressed and her nails
were manicured. Her manner was
collected. She was able even 70 jest
about the little inconveniepces of her
position. There was something
casual about the way in which she
spoke of the tragedy which suggested
to Mr.. Joyce that only her good
breeding prevented her from finding
something a trifle ludicrous in sit

uation which was eminently serious.
1t surprised him, for he had never
thought that she had a sense of
humor.
He had known her off and on for
a good many years. When she paid
visits to Singapore she generally
came to dine with his wife and him
self, and once or twice she had
passed a week end with them at their
bungalow by the sea. His wife had
spent a fortnight with her on the
plantation and had met Geoffrey
Hammond several times. The two

His duties as her counsel had made
it necessary for him to have a good

since her arrest. Though things had
been made as easy as could be for
her. the fact remained that she was
in jail awaiting her trial for murder.

ing the period there have been no
large extensions of the territory
and the increase is due TO the
more general use of electricity and
to the population and Industrial
growth of the more than 200
municipalities in which Public
Service operates.
Notwithstanding the tremendous
growth of the electric industry and
the increasing popularity of cleo
tricity for lighting and power, the
gas industry is making healthy ad
vancement from year to year. Gas
has been used for heating and
lighting in New Jersey for about
eighty years, and while its use for
lighting purposes has been largely
superseded by electricity, it is be-
ing employed more and more for
cooking and more recently has been
making rapid progress as a substi-
tute for fuel in industrial life.
