W. Johnson, Of Lavallette. said
they could not substantiate the
story. Stevens is member Of the
city council OF LavaIlette.
According to Detective Patrick
Hayes. AppIegate declared the only
reason he had said that Stevens wee
fishing that night was because
private detectives had visited him
shortly after the murders and fixed
that particular date in his nina.
Signed Statement
Hayes declared:
The private detectives got after
him until they got him to sign a
statement OF what they wanted h':n
TO say"
However, Mayor Van Camp, OF
I4avalIette, said he was positive
that Stevens was fishing with him
the night of September IA. He said
he was sure, as he fixed the time
in his mind through Stevens cath
ing a large bluefishs He made a
note OF that.
MelIinger told the special prose
cutor he saw Stevens fishing on O
Friday Of that week. September 14
was on Thursday, 1t was said. Mel
linger said he was able to fix the
day but not the date. as four
friends from Columbia. Pa. visited
him that day. johnson said he
remembered a fishing expedition
around that time, but could nor he
call the date.

Crandall's Elevator Stage.

nEDICATION of the newly installed
~ elevator stage at Crandall's Metro
politan Theater was reserved until last
week as a compliment to Fred War
ing and his PennsylvanianS. who are
about to inaucurate their twentieth
week as special attraction in the
Crandall Theaters in Washington at
Crandall's Tivoli Theater.
The elevator stage at the Metropoli-
ton. in addition to being distinct in
novation, is said to be tremendous
time and labor saver. 1t Is possible by
lowering the stage to the basement
floor level to set the act just as 1t will
remain throughout the week instead
Of striking the act 3 times a day
or 21 times. with a possible extra
performance on Sunday in the seven
day period.
1t was due to the operation of the
elevator stage that Warnings Penn
sylvanians last week at the Metropoli-
tan presented an entirely different
aspect from that of any previous visit
to the theater.. Instead of being in
a. single line stretched across the
stage from side to side the orchestra
was banked in such manner as to lend
it's numbers a unity and a richness of
harmony which has not heretofore
been attained.
From now on the elevator stage will
be utilized in similar manner with all
stage acts requiring settings which
may be engaged as special attractions
at the Metropolitan.
