On croSs-examination Scott said
he and several nnembers Of the
Grand Jury had visited the spot
where Allen said he stood before
the Mcpherson windows. The
jury was told by Assistant United
States Attorney Collins that day
that 1t was pejudicial to the
testimony for . few members Of
the jury to visit the scene and
describe 1t.

He said that Shelby had de
clared Washington's equipment
and facilities for investigating
crimes were below the average Of
European capitals. He said he
would try to get more equipment,
Scott testified.
After Horse Was Stolen
''You believed Shelby would
like to have more facilities for
his department. didn't you?'
Quinn asked.
'YesaS q case Of locking the
door after the horse was stolen"
Scott replied.
Counsel became involved In .
row over testimony III regard to-
Stenographic notes on the Grand
jury proceedings. The board
allowed Scott 10 explain why the
Grand Jury refused to have such
notes taken.
It was indicated to the jury by
Assistant II. 8. Attorney William
III. Collins that the police wanted
the stenograplaiC record taken for
the purpose o9 using 1t la posi-
bly, perjury proceedings against
witnesses and for use before The

Quinn asked.
Didn't Identity nc
''Kelly didn't positively identity
the first dress produced. which
was given him BY young McPher-
son. but he led the jury to believe
that IT was the dress Scott said.
On further questioning Scott
testified: Kelly said there was
no dress on the body when Nc
PherSon found 1t. but that Nc
Pherson had thrown q black dress

The dress apparently had no
connection with the death Of the

In the apartment was marked for

usual practice to do So.
Kelly testified to q bruise being
found on Virginia McPherson's

bruise had not been mentioned
until another witness spoke Of Ii
after Kelly had been on the stand.
He said Kelly spoke Of q bruise on
her forehead. however.

Scott said that he thought the
paianno coat, the dress found over
the body, hats and other articles
in the room, should have been
marked for Identification and
brought before the jury as evi-
dence. He said he understood that
Collins and Kelly agreed to let the

said that despite the COroner's

Ny Secrets
of Charm
By Josephine Huddleston
IN a previous article I promised
to give directions for bleach

TN a previous article I promised
to give directions for bleach
ing the chest, arms, elbows
and hands, but before going into
this | want to repeat the bleach
paste formula for those who
missed it last week as well as
directions for its application and
full use.
This bleaching paste consists
of one cupful Of fuller's earth
and two tablespoonful each of
peroxide of hydrogen and witch
hazel. Both liquids have bleach
ing properties, but when made
into a soft smooth paste with
fuller's earth, which is also
bleaching, the results are marvel
Gus. Stir the powder and liquids
together until smooth and, if
necessary to the accomplishment
of a more creamy paste, add like
amounts of peroxide and witch
hazel until the desired consist
ency is obtained.
For bleaching the skin, and
especially the dry type, / Suggest

daily massage and care as well as
more frequent bleaching than the
chest, throat, arms and elbows.
A very generous amount Of
warm oils should be worked into
the hands for five minutes. Re-
move the oil and apply another
but less generous amount, allow
ing it to remain on while the
bleach paste is worked over the
hands. The area from the tips
Of the fingers to theswrist must
be entirely covered, between the
fingers and the palms as well as
the backs Of the hands.
That finishes the bleaching Of
the many neglected areas and I'd
suggest that you either put cloth
or rubber gloves over the paste
to prevent the bleach becoming
too dry and cracked. At the
same time, gloves will permit one
to go about ones regular duties
without fear of bleaching every
thing the hands may come i'm
touch with!
However, it is imperative that
the packs do not slip out of place
or fall off as the skin left un-
touched by the paste will be
darker than the newly bleached
area.
Bearing in mind the Importance
Of massaging oil into and over
the dry skin before attempting
to use the bleach, you will find
this a delightful method for
bleaching this particular type Of
skin which has hitherto become
more dry each time tits bleached.
Oily skins, because Of their al
ready too great supply Of natural
oils, do not require the oily base
before the application Of bleach
paste, however, it is advisable
when bleaching the throat and
hands as these areas become aged
and lined most quickly.
