Dr. w. Worthen, surgeon on the German front during the World War and now connected with Hart ford hospital, next took the stand. After qualifying him as an expert on gunshOt wounds. the defense 1 asked if he had studied the testi- mony of Dr. Sunderland. who de- clared that he saw no burning or powder marks around Guilfoyle's $ wound.
 Gun |. lIh.I,cs Away The witness answered that he ha and. in his opinion. the gun from which the bullet was fired must have been held more than l: inches from Guilfoyles head.
 He has, within the last week, he testified. eNperimented with smoke less powder shells in .o5 calibre pistoI on human skin at local pistol factory
 At three inches there was much burning, tattooiug and q smudge around the wound, he said. At four and q half inches the test did not show as much burning but inc tattooing and powder marks were very obvious. X six-inch wound showed many powder marks and conld not be washed off. but parti- cles were picked out with a knife. In a nine-inch test he found ap- proAimately ten particles of powder which would not work out of the skin within five or six days. \ photograph was introduced showing the results of the various distance tests
 Made OH Dead Skin
 nr. Worthen declared that the tests were made on dead skin and flesh which did not have the elas- ticity of live skin and minimizcd the effects the same tests would have on live skin.
 Asked by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn if he had read the testi- lnony of Dr. Weimann, witness who recalled seeing powder marks around Guilfoyle's wound, Dr. Wer- ther said that he had not. Asked why. he offered various reasons, among them, that he did not have time and that he had taken Dr. Sunderland's testimony as the basis for his test.
 If powder marks were found as pr. Weymann testified, might not the wound be self-inficted the wit ness was asked He said that it was certainly possible"
 Coroner Recalled
 Coroner Calhoun. who was recall cd to the stand, declared that he had gone through the transcript of Mrs. Ways testimony before him, and had not found any record of the statement made by Mrs. Way in court, regarding Guilfoyle's at tempt to leave the apartment.
 Detective Sergeant Quinn, a state witness. who also took a statement from Mrs. Way, was called as a de- fense witness, and asked the same

 The witnesses included yet.rinar- 1ahs from various parts ot the state ana the state commissioner of do- 1nesuc animals. James W. Whittle- eVy.
 Defense attorneys brought out what they consider an important point today when they gained ad- missions from the coroner and a detective that damaging statements made by Mrs. Algernon S Way be- fore the trial judges, had not been nale in her stories to them
 State Rests Case
 Immediately after the opening of the court the state rested its cas" against Dr. Guilfoyle.
 The defense called as it's first wit ness Coroner Gilbert Calhoun.
 llc testified that he started" an inquest in the murder of Mrs, Gau- dct. Asked if he took q statcmen. or Algernou Sidney Way. he said, "l decline to ansWer,' and cited the statute which provides hat a cor cner's reports are not open to public inquiry until completed
 No COrOner's Report
 Defense Counsel John IT. Robin- son, citing the same section of the statute, declared that a coroners finding must be filed within ten daNs after an inquest is started
 This case. he said. has passed the coroner's stage and the coroner still has not filed his report
 The defense believes that dis crupancies will be discovered in the statements made by sonic states witnesses before the coroner and before the court
 .'It Is not q mere fishing excur- sion l am on." Robinson said, and added that he was convinced that t4" discrepancies did exist
 1"1 know nothing that excuses the ctroner from giving the information rA important in this case" he con. cA1ed.
 NT'he court ruled that the answer should be given and the coroner re- piled that he had taken the state- nfents of MT. and Mrs Way.
 ,, Produces Statements
 ,son the order of the court. he produced transcripts of both state m"nts They were marked for Identification although the state de- tlared that there was no objection to the statements being offered as a full exhibit. y
 A short recess was declared to give defense counsel an oppor- tunity to study the transcripts.
 Did Not Remember
 The coroner was asked if Mrs. Way had told him. as she told the ceurt. that when she said 10 Guil- fcNl". "The police and doctor are op their way" he said "They are fSt going to get me-" and started tp leave the apartment. Coroner Calhoun replied that he did not re- a mbor T He was then excused from the sSInd temporarily to refresh his Wt rnory from the transcript. al. 7! No Powder Marks

WHEAT Is LOWER
IN EARLY DEALINGS
Bearish Estimates on Argentina
Crop Force Prices
Down.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 23.-Bearish
estimates of 1928 wheat production in
Argentina tended to make wheat prices
here average a little lower early today.
In the corn market favorable weather
gave some advantage also to the selling
side. Opening at 12 decline to Il ad-
vance, wheat afterward held near to
the initial range. Corn started Il to
34aa off and showed but scant power
to rally. Oats was steady. Provisions
went lower.
According to widely known British
authority, the Argentine surplus wheat
yield this season will aggregate prob
ably 220,500000 bushels, against 1885,
100000 bushels actually cleared so far
this season. In this connection was
significance attached in some quarters
to the fact that Liverpool wheat quo
tations today were lower than due, not
Withstanding adviceS that Southern
Argentine crops are suffering because
much in need of rain. The deficiency
in moisture, 1t was reported today, has
now continued for 10 weeks.
On the other hand, some European
buying of wheat future deliveries in
Chicago was apparent at times today.
There were also reports of good demand
for domestic No. 2 hard Winter wheat
at the Eastern seaboard, and Mime
apolis sent word that mills today were
on the buying side of wheat futures.

INCREASED RETAIL
BUSINESS IS SHOWN
Approach of Holiday Season
Brings Gain In Shops
and Stores.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, November 23.-This is
the heyday of activity for the white
collared worker. This fact has done
much to compensate for the regular
expected slowing down of flannel
shirt" employment, which is sure to
come around the holiday season. The
white-collared man does not make as
much as the flannel shirter, but he
spends as much at this season, and the
retail trade of the Nation is bursting
into full bloom in consequence.
The annual slump of industrial en-
ployment has been less than anticipated,
for while hourly wages are steady and
show little if any improvement in most
sections, the number of hours worked
has increased so that weekly pay checks
are averaging 40 cents to ST more than
in the same period of last year.
The steel mills, which absorb many
of the itinerant workers, are still at a
high pitch of production. The auto
mobile pay rolls, which have slumped
with the exception of the second largest
manufacturer, who is not putting out
new models, have started upward again
and by the middle of December the new
models, the new skies, eightS and
twelveS, and the eye-appeal models
will be taking all the skilled men avail
able in the automobile centers. The
automobile accessory plants are all at
full production, except possibly the tire
plants, which depend not only on new
equipment demand, which is active, but
on replacement demand, which is not.
The building trades are finding their
members well employed, but most of
the latter are winding up their sea-
Sonal work in the North and counting
on journeys southwark to take advan-
tage of any Winter activity. The
Southern building in some States prom
iSes, however, to show falling OF this
year, although Cuba will be new and
prolific field of endeavor.
The anthracite mines are fully oc-
cupied, but mine owners are finding it
difRcult to keep men steadily at work.
The same difficulty exists in the active
soft coal fields. although the miners
have been out of employment for
months and need the money. The elec-
trical equipment plants are busily en-
gagged and obviously are going to have
some difficulty in meeting demand for
household equipment in the holiday
trade.
The railroads are benef1ting might
lily through the volume Of shipments
going forward to the retail trade. This
has been better distributed this year
than ever before and has kept loadings
at high rate for some weeks.
The wholesale dealers are rejoicing
in the best season they have had tor
years. Their volume Of sales is re-

MARYLANDERS TO PUSH
RAIL TRUNK LINE PLAN
speclal pispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 23-Recent
developments toward railroad consolida-
tions and the prospect that Baltimore
may be made the terminus of another
through trunk line system will be con-
sidered at meeting of the railroad
consolidation committee of the Balti-
more Association of Commerce early
next month.
At the same time the Business Pro-
tective Association, composed of a group
of business men in Baltimore and
others who live along the line of the
Western Maryland Railway in Mary
land, Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
are keenly interested. This body deems
the creation of another through trunk
of the port of Baltimore.
According to A. E. Beck, attorney for
the Business Protective Association, the
creation of such line based on the
Western Maryland, Pittsburgh & West
Virginia and the Wheeling & Lake
Erie would materially increase the serv-
ice in merchandise traffic between Balti-
more and the West and have a tend
ency to divert to Baltimore part of the
ex-Lake grain which Is now shipped
through Montreal.
There also is talk that If the new
trunk line is formed it may acquire the
Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis
Electric Railroad, thus giving it an en-
trance into Washington. The Washing
ton, Baltimore g. Annapolis has ac-
quired rights of way for an extension
to the Curtis Bay industrial district
and it is believed that this move is In
the interest of the prospective buyer
of the railroad.
