 "I don't think there is a name she hasn't called me" said Banton, but she is comfortable. more comfort able than she has ever been. I dare say. and we are taking good care of her"
 The district attorney and the DO lice are holding her in belief that she knows more than she has told Of what took place in Room 34a She has told of seeing McManus in the room and of seeing Ruth Reyes. Chicago free lance cloak model. sitting on the lap of fine looking man. in that room.
 But Bridget" said Banton, "is motivated toward exaggeration by her great love and admiration for McManus who gave her $50 tips. and her hatred for Rothstein.'
 She worked at one time at the Fairfield hotel, owned by Rothstein. and was discharged at his direction without notice.
 When her health broke in jail, she was removed to Bellevue hospital. but police declared attempts were being made there to influence" her and she was then removed to q denominational institution where she is denied callers.

 Of all the Good Friday commem- orations in Italy. this of Grassina is undoubtedly the most picturesque. and more akin in spirit to the pas sion plays known to Americans.

 The gathering began with the holding of an old fashioned country fair in the afternoon. just after tNi- light, the tolling Of bell in little church high up among the hillside vineyards marked the hour for the beginning of the procession.

ACORN BEARING co.
 PICKING NEW SITE
May Erect Manufacturing Plant On South Main
 Street

The Acorn Bearing Co, whose application for a permit to extend its plant into the residence district of Mill street was fought out before the board of adjustment for several months. later resulting in it's being withdrawn, is considering con- struction of new factory on South Main street, north of the Towers Filling station. Erection of the building on this plot is said to be practically assured.
 The company began business in garage building before the advent of the zoning law. The district sur rounding the company's building was marked for residence purposes and when the growth of business demanded an extension of manu- featuring facilities, an application was made for an exception to the zoning act. Property owners in the neigh borhood banded together and engaged counsel to oppose the ex- tension. After the matter had been heard several times and when de- cision was. about to be made. the petition was withdrawn.

Adams, Saturday night, was voiced today by Detective Sergeant McSweegan, one of the investigators in the case.
 The story of the first handker- chief, alleged to have been used by Adams to induce sleep, failed of substantiation.
 Mrs. Adams claimed to have thrown this first handkerchief in washtub. Several were found there soaking in water and bearing no trace of chloroform detectives stat ed today.
 But one handkerchief, which will be used for evidence by the state, was found. This was the we'll soaked square of linen, directly re- sponsible for the death of Adams, discovered in an ash barrel at the rear of the grand street home.
