 Hickman. ir court. took a some what passive interest in the story o1 his life and background as unfoided by Jerome Walsh through Q Series Of deposition.1. He watched the read ing carefully but did not seem par ticulariy impressed by the evidence
 Yesterdays testimony all was from the dispositions that Walsh ob- ;ained in Kansas City and Arkansas, Inc former homes of the youth.
 A background Of the insanity plea WAS built up through dispositions al,en from doctors and former friends of the Hickman family in Arkansas. There was local gossip that Thomas Hickman, the boys father, had run around with wom- en-" and considerable testimony concerning the state of the mothers mind.
 Mother Was Unbalanced
 Dr. L. R. Brown, superintendent Of q Little Rock insane hospital: Dr. H. F. Ruth of Tulsa and w. c. Chambers of Hartford all told of how "The Fox's" mother had been sent to the Little Rock hospital be- cause of an unbalanced condition of her mind. she was moody. and de- pressed, the dispositions said. At times she had made threats against the lives of her children and also had threatened to commit suicide. The dispositions told how the mother finally had been paroled from the insane hospital into custody of her husband.
 Then the facts of Edward Hick- mans life were told, particularly that part spent in Kansas City. Don Johnson, former school mate, told how Edward had been a brilliant student in high school. an inde- fatigable worker and polished ora tor.
 However the deposition pointed out. Edward became gloomy after he had lost out in preliminaries for the

National Oratorical contest. He re- signed from ;a club and at that time gave indications of mental aberra- tions the deposition said.
 It was after that period that Hick- man started his crime career that ended with the atrocious murder of the little daughter of a Los Angeles banker.

that she wished to run away, that her fa;hcr was Harvard graduate and tia, she had a ''baby" brother ;,t -cllool She WaS of evident breCd- ance an.y'ered to the last detail that of Miss Smith.
 Gave Name "Frantes''
 The girl gave the name Of Fran ees" but Miss Gurnee could nc; re- call her last name. She felt certain. however. it Was not smith.
 Miss Gurnea Saiu she suggested the natlv Of a Back Bay employ ment asgnc. and accompanied the girl tlIern. At the agency she seemed eyasivc. When it wc;s explained that references were necessary. the girl declared she could never give refer cnceG because 'her people could trace her.
 nGGtnd S;.:rctarial Work
 She expressed preference for Norl. O. 8, sccrCtarial nature or as a gov rn"ss the Advertiser was told, and as nothing was available at the first place, the woman ill charge di- rectei heC to a second bureau. Miss Gurnee declared that she had made an appointment to meet the girl the next day but was unable to keep it recently when sine felt growing conviction that her acquaintance had been the much sought daughter of the wealthy New York retired brok- CT for whom a country wide search was being made.
 Remembered the Girl
 Inquiry at the first employment agency developed the woman in charge remembered the girl and up- on reflection she believed her to be Miss Smith. Records there showed the girl had given Albany, N. Y., as her home.
 A telephone from the first to the second agency brought out the fact that the girl had been placed in a position two weeks ago but all at tempts last night to gain access to the agency's. records were unavail- ing.
 Possible Motive Noted
 The Smith girl had once expressed desire to run away and that fact coupled with her scholastic diff culties at Smith college have been seen by her family as one of the few possible motives for leaving school.
 The family and number of in- vestigators have from the first re- fused to concede the possibility that the girl was dead. Dr. Lydiard H. Horton. Boston biological psycholo- gist. who was retained to study the girls probable mental condition when she vanished. had an appoint ment today with President William Allan Nelson of smith college at Northampton.
 Dr. Horton has prepared pre- liminary report which has been mailed to the students father, St. John Smith of New York. but he is continuing his researches into her background here.
 State police yesterday investigated without success several reports that the girl had been seen and an- nounced that they had several other leads which would be run down to- day.

GOOD OLD DAYS WE'RE
 ONLY AN ILLUSION
At Least That Is What w. C. T. L. Official Would Have Youths
 Believe

Chicago. Feb. CP--Youth must be impressed with, the fact that the so-catled good old days are mere illusions, believes Miss Winona Jew ell, national secretary of the young peoples branch of the w. C. T. l.. Addressing the temperance unions national campaign conference today, Miss Jewell assigned to the dele gates the task of interesting the young people of America in the im- portance of prohibition by recalling what we knew in the old days
 Have you forgotten the byways | that led through the swinging doors??" she asked. Have you for-
 gotten that study of the alcoholic cases in Bellevue hospital New York
 in 1904 showed 80 per cent of them
 beginning drink habit under 16 years of age and 6S per cent under 20 years of age?
 Fifteen years ago the back rooms of Chicago's saloons con- tributed to the delinquency of more than 14.000 girls every 25 hours. Literally thousands of dance halls
 in the old days knew no closing
 hours, and sold liquor openly to boys
 and girls at all hours"
 Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick, urged the delegates to demand of congress sufficient funds to make
 prohibition enforcement possible. 1 Any modification of the Volstead act. would be merely an attempt to "break down the purpose" of all
 prohibition legislation" she de- clared.
 "The question therfore is, wheth-
 CT we believe in the principle of the eighteenth amendment, or whether we wish to repeal the amendment"
 she added. "All other arguments are mere subterfuge."

YOU NO SCI PLAY
SHRUGGED JAP

While Watt, District umpire
weaves an interesting yarn abUa
b play that cropped in the ninth
inning OF the Keio University
Georgetown game on Monday. Watt
who was calling 'em on the bases,
was placed in b tough hole.
cit was the ninth and Georgetown
in the midst Of batting rally thar
had already Melted two runs" ex-
plains the umpire. "One was down,
Ralph Duplin on third and Phil
Mclean on first with Paul Donovan
at bat.
donovan shot liner to left
field that looked q sure safety.
Both runners were off with the
crack of the hit. But Machida, Jap
leftfielder, speared the drive. DOnO-
van returned to his base and scooted
home.
Mclean, though, never re-
traced his steps, continuing to
second. HamaxalKi. the KeiO
pitcher, intercepted the peg
home and tried to cut down Me-
Lean. He flung the ball TO the
embankment In right field and
Mclean trOtted home with the
tying counter"
Then took place q brief talk be-
tween the umpire and the Nippon
second-sacker and the incident has
q moral for those ignorant Of an
arbiter's position In similar cases.
''You see that play?' Querted
Mitani, Keio second baseman.
What play?" snapped Watt.
"Well, you no seesplay." shrugged
the Oriental, without calling Tor the
ball and touching first base.
''FEad he called for the bali
and stepped ON first" continues
Watt, ~ would have been com
PEELED to call Mclean ont and
KeiO would have won, lilo, In
nine innings. As events Planned
out, the Japanese scored three
runs in the tenth frame to win
the game, 14-1l.
IT couldn't give the Jap second,
sacker q positive answer when he
asked me about the play as such
would have been q violation OF an
umpire's code. The Jap knew that
a runner couldn't leave the base
before q fly was caught, but he Inn
agined that didn't see the play
and my vague answer left him with
the impression that It would have
been futile to call for the ball.
''Yet, Keio benefited as the game
would never have gone overtime
and thus Miyatake, Keio starting
twirler, would not have enjoyed the
distinction OF returning to the box
after having been driven from the
hill. He was lifted in the fifth
frame, but, instead Of vending his
way to the bench. was sent to first
base. He came back to the mound
in the tenth frame to stem a
Georgetown threat"
