The verdict. which carries with it the death penalty, was returned by the jury after hours and S6 minutes deliberation. Lee will be sentenced on Nov. 14.
 The stolid Norwegian janitor shrank back a little into his chair, and the faint smile with which he has listened to the testimony against him vanished as Foreman Walter c. Hewitt huskily announced the ver- dict. Two court attendants half lift ed him from the chair and he stood with his fingers tWitching nervously as he gave his pedigree through an interpreter. He understands Eng fish. but speaks it poorly.

 While Mr. kopff was flashing him. Lee sat smiling faintly at letter he had just received from an afternoo, newspaper In which he had advcr- tised rooms to rent last summer The letter contained a bill for S1.10 and the threat that unless it was paid prompt legal action would be taken against him.

 Imagine muttering maniac stalking around a darkened stage with knife in his hand hunting for a ghost which he intends to place in a coffin which he has made; add to that, as a background, a gang of drug smugglers. pistol duels in the dark, screams. mysterious occur rences which defy explanation and the disappearance of three people and you have a picture of what hap pens during the presentation Of the Wooden Kimono," which began a three days engagement last night at Parsons theater, Hartford. The play is given by the original New York cast after long run on Broadway.
 In this day of skepicism when theatergoers have become sophisti- cated regarding mystery plays it is a difficult task to create thrills and chills. But if one is to judge by the reaction on last nights audience at Parsons the cast succeeded in living up to the promise of the producers. and chills and thrills were produced by wholesale.
 The scene is laid in the Red Owl Tavern and in the cellar Of Peter Mullen. short distance away. From the beginning until the final curtain there is an atmosphere of tense mys- tery, starting with the hallucinations Of the maniacal coffin builder and ending with the denouement when the characters are seen in their true roles and none is what he seemed to be at the start. The element Of sur prise figures largely in the expose, as 1t should In all mystery stories.
 The roles are in the hands of capable artists. Lenore Harris is nothing short of splendid. Her de- meanor and hesitancy of speech early lead to the suspicion that Tn some manner she has full knowl- edge Of the mysterious incidents which have marked the Red Owl tavern as place accursed. Her act ing Is the high light Of the play. Sam Colt' in the role of the "cracked" cofun maker, would be an unpleas- i ant person to meet in the dark on or off the stage.
