Again, when the slug-filled corpse

in the Harlem River, Diamond was

Police also mentioned Diamond

The party room later turned out
to be the Rothstein death suite.
Mrs. Keyes said she did not get

Because men who planned cold

STAMPS

Eighty-five million stamps are
produced daily at the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and yet
despite this huge number-com-
plants of a defective output average
less than one a day.
Even this comparatively perfect
score, however, does not satisfy
the Treasury Department, which
has asked the Bureau of Standards
to test raw materials, adhesives,
automatic stamp-affixing machines,
etc, with the idea of further i'm.
provement of the process.
In beginning the inquiry, the Bu-
reau of Standards says that many
of the complaints received now
largely OF failure Of stamps to stick
to enVelopes-are due to Improper
affixing" or to unfavorable storage
conditions before the stamps are
used, rather than to any inherent
defects in the stamps themselves.

Adams was then excused and the
ships carpenter was called.
Gustave Wohl, the carpenter, said
he was on the Vestris as ships car
penter for four months. He had
had 80 Years OF experience as a
ships carpenter.
Told Of Closing Doors
Tuttle asked him to describe how
he closed the coal ports and half
doors before the ship sailed. this
being the carpenters responsibility.
Wohl said he caulked the half.
door with spun yarn and white lead
to make It water-tight. He said he
personally supervised the closing Ct
the half-door.

vious voyages?"
II had not heard that, but the

''For a little while, but water COM

Because Wohl obviously could not
understand Tuttle's questions, Cap
tain JessOp took up the questioning.
using the more technical terms Of the
seaman.
Worked There For Hours
Wohl said he worked on the star
board half door from 1880 p. m. to
a. m. Sunday night. He said that
he then had to fix several port holes
that were broken in by the sea.
From then on he made soundings in
the ships bilge tanks. reporting to
the captain every half hour.
At a. m. Monday, he said, there
was not more than two feet of water
in any of the ships tanks. He said
he took no later solIndiHgs. Cues
toned by JessOp, Wohl said he per-
aCnally shut the three starboard coal
ports before the ship sailed, work
ing on staging and cauking them
with spun yarn and white lead.
''They held he said.

prior to the murder had never
caused his friends to think he was
insane until after the gruesome
horror.
Defense Attorney Russell Kelly had
moved the court for an instructed
verdict of guilty Of second degree
murder. The court denied the mo.
ton.
Kelly points to the testimony of
both his own alienists and the
qualified testimony of Doctors Hick-
ling and Noyes for the Government.
Both these experts declared that
Smith did unusual things through
out his entire life, but in the alb
sence OF any unreasonable motive
for his acts. he could not be de-
clared insane.
Whether fhe charge that Smith
was following an irresistible i'm

certain. Counsel last night offered
authorities both pro and con on
the question. This prayer was

Lacked Restraint
Kelly points out that even II
Smith knew the difference between
right and wrong, and knew that he
was doing wrong at the time of
the murder, still IL he was unable
to restrain himself from doing a
wrongful act at the time, he Is IN
sane.
This charge. If 1t goes to the
jury, may be the avenue by which
the fiIicide, whose crime numbers

Lucky For Steele
In rebutfal, Collins declared that
1t was lucky for John Steele, the
dead girls suitor, that he was at
the door when Smith left the
apartment. Collins drew picture
to the jury describing the cold
cunning OF the defendant and said
that. had Steele not been there,
Smith would never have surrendered
TO police and Steele might have
faced indictment himself.
Smith is a man OF unusual intel
lect, Collins declared. in refuting
defense claims OF lack OF education.
Smith has maintained the same
stoicisn that has charac acterized his
attitude throughout the trial. He
takes little interest in his sur
roundings, apparently, and gazes
continually into his thick.lensed
spectacles like seer gazing into
crystal. He seems TO look no
further, and appears to read his
future there.

of Cleveland will invade the Capital
for four engagements. BY that time, the
Tribe may have settled into the rather
slow stride it was expected TO follow by
base ball sharps. who looked 1t over
during the training days. But to date
the Indians have been travelling at a
merry clip. They are right at the top
of the heap. a strange place to see
them.
In the game here yesterday the Ma
tionals got pretty good pitching from
Horace LiSenbee. The young fellow was
not quite so poisonous to the Yanks as
he was last season. when he licked
them five times, more than any other
hurler in the circuit did, but holding
the hard-hitting Higgins gang to a
quartet of runs Is no mean feat. How
ever, Liz could have yielded but one
run and cotton nowhere. The Nation
ais simply were at the mercy of the
left-handed Herb Pennock. getting but
three hits and no passes. and sending
only two runners past first base.
Lisenbee had but one bad inning, his
first. but that proved enough to beat
him. Then he walked three of the first
four batters to face him. and after Bob
MeuSel fouled himself into the second
with two strikes against him, rified a
single to left that chased two runs
across. Thereafter Liz gave up only six
safeties TO raise the Yankees game
total to seven and two more passes.
Two of the hits, though. were home
run drives by Ruth. One came at the
start of the third inning and the other
after one was out in the seventh.
The Nationals we're all but helpless
before Pennock. Only six times did
they knock the ball beyond the infeid,
and only once did such knock result
in a hit. Lisenbee got double in the
sixth session when his loft to right was
misiudged by the Babe. Same Rice's
single in the ninth was a topped bal<
that Catcher Pat Collins could not
heave to first in front of the runner,
while Bucky Harris one-baser in the
opening round was a drive by Joe
Dugan that Mark Koenig intercepted,
but not soon enough to make throw.
Harris never advanced beyond the
first sack. but Lisenbee reached third
base after his double when Rice made
the second out of the sixth inning
Harris. though. skied to Meusel.
In the ninth Rice. after singing
