CHAPTER v

The prosecution next offered
the testimony Of Detective Lloyd
Mears. His evidence established
the fact that he had gone to
the apartment of David Wells
late on the night Emory Wells
was killed, with orders to bring
David to headquarters.
All that night and until noon
the next day, when news was
brought that their man had
been apprehended, Lloyd Mears
had stationed himself outside
the door of the apartment.
He testified that David Wells
did not come to his apartment
during that period.
There was no attempt to
roSS-eXamine.
The next witness called was
Ralph Varney!
The man with the loud clothes
staggered to the witness stand.

What time did she come
home?"
"She didn't. She amt been
home yet. There oughta be
something q guy could do to
make his wife behave"
The judge raped for order
and Simpson proceeded.

wife was on the night Of Octo-
ber 81"
II got a good idea but I
can't prove it,"
Are you sure your wife did
not return home on october 2,

Waring has q hurried con.

examination, so when the wit
ness was given to him he was
prepared with a few questions.

her last answer, the break
came.

thing I have ever DONE" she
replied to q particularly vitri-
olic question.
"Not even associating with
murderers!" Simpson shouted.
This remark brought Waring
to his feet and q caustic warn
ing from Judge Hollister that
it would be the last time such
q warning would be given.
With that Simpson relin-
QuiShed the witness. During
the examination Waring and
David had several heated con.
situations. It was evident that
Waring desired to croSs-ex-
anime Grace Varney and
David was against it. David
apparently convinced the at
torney during the final whiS-
pered discussion, for Grace was
excused without crosS-examinar
ton.
With that Prosecutor Sinlp-
son announced that the prose
cution rested. Court was ad.
journed until the following day,
when the defense would start
to present its case.
Among those who discussed
the case in and about the
courthouse, especially the news.
papermen, there was q fairly
unanimous opinion that the de-
Tense could hardly present
much of q case. It seemed al
most like an open.and-silut
proposition: David Wells had
gone into the Wells study 15
minutes before the crime was
committed; he was not seen
coming out; a shot was fired
and almost Immediately there
after he was seen in a car
within q few hundred feet Of
the crime. AS to motive, the
diamonds were missing, and so
was the viii which would have
diSinherited him completely. It
was an almost impossible case
to beat.
And where would Attorney
Waring get any witnesses for
the defense?

DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan CLendesinO.

A valued medical friend has
Just made me Q present. It is
an old leather-coyered book pub
lished in 1857. It is "A Trea-
tise On the Scurvy," written
by an English physician, James
Lind.
Scurvy seems q far away dis
ease today. It is fairly common
in infants who have been fed on
nothing but canned prepared
infant food or condensed milk.
But In adults it Is very rare.
But this was not always so.
Before Capt. James Cook
made his memorable voyage
around the world, during which
he staked out New Zealand and
Australia for England. it was
SO common among sailors as TO
deter ships from making long
cruises. When Vasco da Cana
sailed around the Cape Of Good
Hope he started out with 100
men; 100 of them died Of sour.
Wy on shipboard.
In his treatise Lind told this
story:
"A sailor in the Greenland
= ships was so over-run and dis
abled with scurvy that his COM
panions put him into q boat and
set him ON shore, leaving him
there to perish without the least
expectation Of recovery. The
poor wretch had quite lost the
use of his limbs; he could only
crawl about the ground. This
he found covered with q plant
which he, continually grazing
like a beast Of the field, plucked
up with his teeth. In a short
time he was by this means per
fectly recovered, and upon his
returning home it was found to
be the herb 'scurvy grass"
A few years later Captain
Cook journeyed around the
world and by feeding his men
the "rob (juice) Of lines and
oranges and lemons" he brought
all his crew home with no one
dead from Scurvy.
Scurvy still occurs among
adults as well as children.

Simpson questioned Grace,
striving to trick her into some
admission regarding her des-

mission that she had been q
party to the destroying Of the
lost will Of Emory Wells; that
she was helping to conceal the
missing diamonds; that she
was living an Illicit life with

ADVICE FOR
LOVELORN
YOUTH
By Beatrice Fairfax


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX
am 10 and have q steady
boy-friend. He is very nice to
me but he drinks terribly, and
is always talking about other
girls. 1 love him. What shall I
do to stop his drinking? He
will not come to my home to
see me, although he used to
come, before he started to
drink. He has invited me to
his mothers several times.
PEGGY
The only suggestion I have
to offer a girl considering mar
rying a drunkard is to beg her
to spend a few days In the Do
meStic Relations Court Of the
nearest city and listen to the
horrors that drunkards' wives
pour into the judges ears. She
might do well to note the
bruised faces handed out by
these mice" men when they
aren't sober.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been reading your
advice for the past year and
a half and feel I need a little
myself. There is a boy who
has always liked me, at least
he said so. Last winter we
were going together. and this
summer he got a Life Guard"
job. 1t made him different to-
ward me. Whenever he is
around, he is always talking
about "his girl" But why
should he talk about her around
me? Now he is trying to get
nice again. I like him very
much. Please tell me what to
do? Shall I make UP or find
another friend?
LONESOME MARY.
Very probably he talks about
"his girl" to make you jealous.
That's an old, tried and true
recipe, and I wouldn't fall for
it. why not come back with &C.
counts Of your boy friend-real
or imaginary? About making
UP, you're the best Judge Of
that, If you do-show q little
more independence Of character.
don't let him have things so
much his own way.
