GorsIine and Miss Catherine
RastaII Give Glimpse of
Hidden Romances.
BY DOROTHY DIX.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


SOMERSET COURTHOUSE Som
erville, n. j., November 5.-JuSt as
dusk was beginning to fall and eerie
shadows to creep through the court
room. Senator Simpson, whose bag Of
tricks is never exhausted, and who
manipulates his situations with the
art Of a Belasco, yesterday sprung a
great and dramatic coup.
He arose and solemflly announced
that Mrs. Jane Gibson. the pig
woman" had collapsed land was deS-
perately sick in the hospital and likely
at any moment to pass into state of
coma. Therefore, as she is the only
person claiming to have actual per
sonal knowledge of the Staying of Rev.
Edward w. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor
Mills; as she asserts that she saw
Mrs. Hall and her brothers at the
scene of the crime. and as her teStl-
mony is vital to the prosecution, he
desired the court to trr rnsfer it's sit
ting to the bedside of MI. -ibson and
there listen to her story.
He felt that this could be done with
perfect safety to the sick woman, pro
vided the defense did not harrow and
excite her with what he called an
'inhuman crosse Xamination.
Wonderful Plan, if it Works.
1t was a lovely plan. if only it had
worked out. For be it remembered
that Mrs. Gibson has not only told
about seeing the two stevens men at
the place of the tragedy, and Of hear
ing q quarrel and the shots that killed
the preacher and his affinity, but of
creeping back at . o'clock in the morn
ing to the place of the tragedy and
seeing Mrs. Hall weeping over the
de I'd body of her husband 1
The only hope of salvation for the
defense lies in breaking down Mrs.
Gibson's story, and this it can only
do by cross examination that would
show no mercy-certainly not such
one as they could subject a sick
woman to. who had high fever and
who was suffering from an acute at
tack of nerves.
Senator Simpson grew almost tear
full insisting upon the Importance of
getting Mrs. Gibson's testimony. Gen.
McCarter grew apoplectic, explaining
how he couldn't and wouldn't go and
harrow a sick woman with the queS-
tions he was bound to ask her in
order not to jeopardize his clients
case.
The night came on and the pres
ence of the pig-woman and her mule,
Jenny, seemed to fill the room, until
thet wo judges like two modern Solo
mons, cleared the situation by getting
into their automobiles and going to
the hospital where they saw Mrs. Glib
son themselves. They decided that
she was in no fit state to testify at
present.
Family Sits Together.
Mrs. Hall sat between her brothers
and back of them were their faithful
and loyal cousins, Comdr. Carpenter
and Mrs. Henry carpenter and Mrs.
Henry Stevens. They make fine
looking family group. Handsomely
dressed well groomed. dignified and
composed.
They listened to the sparring of the
lawyers with alert interest, for Sen
ator Simpson continually badgers
dignified and stately Gen. McCarter
until he makes you think Of a saucy
little fox terrier teasing and swapping

is a little bit of pasteboard. a couple
of inches long by an inch and half
wide. Just a visiting card-the card
that the State claims was found in the
grass at the feet of Rev. Mr.. Hall.
For on this card is a fingerprint, and
the f1ngerprint is that of Willie Ste
VenS.
Strange and spooky was the story
that Commissioner Faurot, the great
fingerprint expert, told the jury, OF
how, in all the ever-changing human
body, the finger ends alone never
change; of how no two are ever alike,
and of how the fluids of the body,
exuding through the pores of finger
tips, make an impression upon every
thing they touch, as if they set their
seal upon it.
Stranger still, how the fear and
anxiety of those committing a crime
makes this eXudation from the fin
ger tips so strong that the slightest
touch of their clammy hands is al
most indelible.
Invisible these marks may be to

| terrible" of the bar. He simply wont
play the game according to the rules
whereat Gen. McCarter and Senator
Case rage and roar.
With an innocent face and a man
ner that is childlike and bland, he
| leads his witnesses along the paths he
wishes them to tread, and then, when
he has said and done the things he
shouldn't do, he meekly apologies,
and does it over again.
In case as serious as this there
are elements of comedy and one that
won smile of amusement from Mrs.
Hall was when fuSSy and nervous
woman, told of hearing shots the night
of the murder, and that year after
wards. {, man passing the old Phillips
house. where she had gone to live,
had stopped and asked her for a
direction. after which he casually re-
marked: Didn't a tragedy occur
around hare some time ago?"
THIS apparently innocent question
SO alarmed the timid woman that she
ran in the house and shut the door.
Later on, when she saw a picture of
Henry Stevens she says she recog-
nized him as her questioner.
Evidently this story had been the
life of the party at many sewing
society, and she impaired romantic
flavor to it by describing how I'm
mac u-lately dressed" the stranger
was. and how he simply staggered
down the road, he was SO overcome
by emotion IN passing near where the
murder was committed
1t would take a Eugene O'Neill to
write the story of the choir of ST.
John the Evangelist, SO pure and holy
and uplifting on the outside with such
surreptitious f1irtations and love-
markings beneath, singing hymns to
God with lips that kissed on the sly.
But one had a glimpse of these
banked fires of romance when Ralph
Gorslfne and Miss Catherine Rastall
were put upon the stand, and refer
cnce was made to other choir singers
who also had their own romantic ad-
ventures. Heaven knows, Mr.. Gors-
line is enough away from the popu-
lar ideal of the sheik. He is a long.
lanky, sallow, melancholy looking
man, who should have been a safe bet
as married man.
Imperfectly DOmesticated.
However. he was imperfectly do
mesticated, it seems, for on the night
of September IA he and Miss Cath
crime Rastall drove out together to
Lovers lane, and were there parked
among the other peters when the
fatal shots were fred.
So much Mr.. Gorsline admitted. He
and Miss Rastall both heard voices
mumbling. apparently in alteration,
and then the shots, but he absolutely
denied that he got out of his car to
investigate the shooting, and he de-
MED positively seeing Henry Stevens
and being told that the affair was
none of his business, and to get out
of there" as the prosecution has as
serted.
Nor could any other admission be
wrung from Gorsline or Miss Rastall,
and their stories, which had been
counted upon to throw light on the
subject. petered out into nothingness.
Then came the accuser that the
Evening star., 1926-11-05

was found at the feet Of Mr.. Hall?
Where has it been during all these
past four years? Who had access
to it?
These are the questions over which
the &, grim lawyers Of the defense
and the keen, shrewd little lawyer
for the prosecution will fight a battle
royal that will be worth seeing and
hearing.

the naked eye, but pour over them
little black powder. and the tell-tale
lines and ridges and whorls and pores
leap forth, mute witnesses that can
not be denied. Nor does it take an
expert to recognize them. They are
there for every eye to see.
So it may almost be said that the
fate Of the Stevens family hangs on
this card. Where did it come from?
Is it beyond all doubt the card that

POLE. EXPEDITION ARRIVES SEWARD
 NORTHWESTERN
ADVANCE PARTY NORTH POLE EXPLORERS HERE; FOUR
 MEN IN PARTY
DEPART ON THE FIRST TRAIN
Snow Motors and Equipment Arrive; Ten Special SIedges
 Completed.

Headed by Alexander Malcolm Smith, or just plain Sandy" the advance party of the Wilkins Arctic expedition, which is being sponsor ed jointly by the American Geograph- ical Society, the Detroit Aviation So- ciety and the North American News paper Alliance, arrived in Seward this morning on the S.S. Northw est ern With MT. Smith is Earl Ross man, H. F. Mason and Gordon Scott. The three so-called snow motors, or tractors, with which the planes and equipment will be hauled to Point Barrow from Nenana, also ar rived on the vessel. The party ex- poets to leave for the Interior on one of the first trains out. While in Seward they are making the Van Glider hotel their headquarters.
 Captain Smith is a veteran Alas kan and as has been stated preWi- ously it is doubtful if there is any sourdough in the Territory who is as familiar with the strange, unmapped regions the party will traverse as he. Of him Stefansson, the famous Arctic explorer, Dr. Isaiah Bowman director of the American Geographi- cal Society and Delegate Dan Suth- erland have repeated said, we have selected Sandy" Smith for the most important task in conjunction with this All-American Polar Flight, which has taken on international sig nifcance, because he knows Alas ha and the Arctic better than any

other living man" He will be in charge of the snow motor section, overland to Point Barrow from Me- mana.
 Earl Rossman, is also an oldtimer of the Territory, and especially of that particular district to which they are embarking for. Much has been written of him during the past week. of his moving picture work in the Arctic regions. He is accompanying the expedition as official photogra- pher and historian.
 Gordon Scott, of the Snow Motors Corporation, Detroit, is the expert in direct charge of the three trac- tors. Engineer Scott tested out the snow motors in the Snoqualmie Pass counry, Washington, prior to leaving Seattle. Each of the snow motors will travel four miles an hour in second gear, and ten miles an hour in high. In the tests the motors climbed steep drifts, turned in and out of deep depressions, traversed ra- vines and crusted snow with ease. The spinning drums look startling, but are capable of propeling the ma chimes with surprising speed.
 H. F. Mason, young Seattle man, was the last to join the party. He is a photographer and an expert ra- dio engineer. A portable sending and receiving set is among the equip ment which arrived this morning. The sending outfit is of short wave length, and operates from the mo- tors. At Point Barrow permanent base will be established and com

munication kept up with the planes' radio sets, during the flight to and across the pole Messages will be relayed to the North American News paper Alliance.
 The ten special made double-end- CT sledges, built in Seward by Cal M. Brosius, were inspected and accept ed this morning, to the complete saItis- faction of all parties concerned. They will be shipped to Nenana immediate ly.
 Scott said the snow motors will be put in operation at Nenana, one of which will be left there to clear a field for the planes to be used on the expedition. The t:rtl two will haul five sledges carrying total of fifteen tons of provisions and supplies, large oil and gasoline, fer the planes.
 Smith will act as guide of one ex- pedition which will go from Nenana to Tanana, thence north to Bettles, up the John river and follow the An akvuk to the Arctic ocean, from where they will go along the frozen sea to Point Barrow. The snow mo- tors are expected to make thirty five miles day and it is expected it will take for thirty-fve to forty days for the trip.
 The men will carry very little food outside of sugar, salt and flour, as they expect to live off the caribou and other game which abound in the district.
 Scott said the party would proba- bly not be able to leave Nenana be- fore February 15 because the gaso- line would not arrive before that time
 MT. Scott will drive one of the snow motors but two other drivers will be hired at Fairbanks.
 Originally, there were three special planes ordered for the expedition but one was destroyed in fire last week when the hanger, in which it was housed burned to the ground. The remaining two planes will be shipped to Seward on the next trip of the S.S Victoria.
 Under present plans the take-off from Point Barrow is scheduled for March 21. It is stated it is confi- dently believed land will be discoV- cred in the unexplored region be- tween Barrow and the x ice pole. Should this prove true, the planes will return to Barrow without land ing on the initial flight, report the discovery and, accompanied by a second plane, go back and explore and map the new territory. If no land is sighted, on the initial flight an attempt to fly over the top of the world to Spitzbergen, approximately 2,100 miles from Point Barrow. Captain George H. Wilkins, is the commander of the expedition. He will arrive in Seward from Seattle on one of the next steamers. Accom- lpanying him will be Major Thomas Laniphier, commandent of the Sel- phridge Field (Michigan), who has been granted a four-months leave of 15absence. Laniphier will act as off, ficial adviser from the Point in case land is discovered. He will claim iall discoveries for the United States. | Sergeant c. N Wisely of Cleve- land, an engine expert, and Palmer Hutchinson of the Detroit News, will be members of the party as we'll as Ben Eileson, pioneer aviator of the Interior, who has been in the East for the past two wears
