Both the bodies Of Mrs. Mills

Patrick Hayes. chief detective
for the prosecution in the forth

brothers, Henry and Willie Stew

in announcing that DR.. Otto

Particular attention will be given
to the jagged necklace" wound
which encircled the throat Of Mrs.
Mills.
Further light on the nature OF
the bullet wounds in both bodies
also is sought. Persistent reports
that unannounced mutations were
inflicted on the couple also are to
be checked.
There Is talk of an effort to OBJ
tain from the bodies fingerprints of
the murderers, in the belief there
was a hand-to.hand struggle under
the crabapple tree in De Russey's
lane on that tragic night. Doubt is
expressed, however, that it would
be possible to find finger prints
after such a long time.

SideLights On Queen

Democratic and modern as she
is, Queen Marie draws the line
at Handwriting. At Mount YER
non her majesty patted a little
boy on the head. conp1fmented
him on his freckles, and then
shook hands with the boys
father. Immediately a dozen wo-
men stepped forward to clasp the
queens hand, but Marie threw
UP her arms and smilingly said:

hands,
A fleet OF Il American custom
built automobiles will carry the
Rumanian royal party about the

or riding on the railroads. The
cars, especially built for the &C.

country on a fast express train
whenever the queen makes a long
jump from one city to another
by rail.
Little Of the scraping and bow
ing of the populace, to which a
European crowned head is ac-
customed, has marked Queen
Marie's visit in America. Wo-
men OF Washington preferred
rather to salute her majesty in
comradely fashion by waving
handkerchiefs or calling out their
words Of greeting.
Despite the rumors afloat since
her arrival in this country, Queen
Marie is apparently uninterested
for the time being in political at
fairs or in the financial questions
of her country. Intercepted on
these questions, her Mejesty smiled
but said nothing. Later she de-
clared that she was here for a
good time and has left her gov.
ernmental worries behind her in
Bucharest.
Princess Ileana won the silent
admiration OF all who saw her

LOCAL TEAMS ID
 BE BUSY SATURDAY
Guards Play at Home and LeSiN
 Meets Bristol EndeeS

The National Guards and the American Legion basketball teams will both see fast action this coming Saturday night. The Guards will play the Al-Middlctown team to which they lost last Friday, at the stale armory on Saturday night while the Legion quintet will trek out on it's first road game 10 Bristol 10 meet the Bell City Endeos there.
 The Guards lost 10 Aliddetown la9l Friday night on the state arm- ory floor in Middletown. All alibis S't aside, the team came out on the short end of 32 10 27 score and this is chalkcd up as a defeat for the season. Saturday night, the Middle town quintet comes 10 New Britain ir a return game and the Hardware City hoop tossers are all set to dem onstrate just how much better they arc than Middletown.
 The visitors will have their full strength In the game including John ny Heating. former Kaccy star and later mainstay of the Trinity college five in Hartford, and McCabe al. forwards, Spear at center and Sturm and Carlson at the guard positions.
 The Guards after taking q victory at the expense of the City College club of New York, one of the best outfits ever 10 assemble in his city, should give the Middletown team reasons enough to know that they were mighty lucky 10 even win last Friday nights gamo even though Dan Ahaarn helped them out.
 The American Legion five has picked about a tough d starter on thH road as could be selected from among he many teams in this state, The Bristol Endoes, with Malcolm and foldman at forwards, Donoeh,lc at center and Crowley and Tommy Tracy at guards, is q combination that can touch the best in this scc- ton of the country. A victory for he Legion or even close game will give them the necessary name 10 start them on q road career that ought 10 keep them busy for the re- mainder of the season.
 The Legion quintet will not play at home this week but arrangements will probably be made 10 gipc the Bristol Endeea return game in this city in I few weeks. If present plans go through, the Legion com 1nittee will be able to give tho New Britain basketball public q real treat in the way of basketball that will
 draw attendance sufficient 10 make l the project paying one.
 Tho quintet will practice tonight i at G:%o o'clock at the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium in preparation for the game Saturday night.
