he tried to make several dates with her.
 Subsequently. at the machine shop, she said, Sherman asked her to save money for him "so he could go west"
 "He said he wanted to get away from his wife and family" Esther testifed. "He asked me to go with didAt say I wouldn't"
 Sherman gave ner "yarious sums of money" mostly of>1b and $i0 denominations and totaling t45, over q period of five or six weeks. The largest sum, she said, was giv- en her the day before "the acci- dent.' She put the money in the Whitinsville Savings bank in her name. The handbook was added to the exhibits and she identified 1t as an account of "our" money.
 Cross Examination Brief
 Cross examination of EstAer was brief and the prosecution rested at 12:26 ?. m.
 Chief Defense Counsel William W. Buckley immediately began his opening address;
 He pictured Sherman as a model boy" who was born in sut- ton, the son of a constable, and who was educated ip the public schools and at Worcester Boys Trade School, in the machinists' division.
 Finishing school, Sherman went to work at Worcester factory and. at the depression. WAS the last man in his department to be laid off, He returned to his fathers Sutton farm to help with the chores.
 For six or eight months he courted Alice Dudley before their marriage in January 1883. After their honeymoon they lived at His fathers home.
 Throughout this period, Buckley said, Sherman contributed money and food to his parents.

  train, according to regulations, when he saw the second train ap- preaching "at A fast rate of speed"
 As 1t rounded a curve about a quarter mile away, he said, he ran down the tracks waving his lan- tern.
 When the train failed to slacken speed, he said, he hurled the light ed lantern through the window of the first engine as it passed him and he heard the screeching of brakes and crash.
 Hughes said the signals favored the second train. as did James Tierney. conductor of the collfding freight.
 Tierney's train had been held up at New Rochelle, ". Y.. an hour or so before the crash and the other had passed 1t enroute from Balti- more to Boston.
 The stalled train had been on the trestle about 20 minutes when the collision occurred.
 Eheehan's body was not recover cd from his engine, which was sub merged in the river. Hughes, who also was hurled into the water, was rescued by Colcord Huerlin and Ned Patterson.
 Flames spread rapidly through the demolished cars and the con- fiagration attracted hundreds to the scene. It was several hours before the fire was controlled and wreck CTS arrived to clear away the debris.
 A preliminary report to the gem eral road offices at New Haven said the stalled train continued 76 cars and the colliding train no cars. the latter destined to New Haven from Oak Point. Each was hauled by three electric engines.
 It also stated the overhead power lines were ripped down and that fl curs0ry examination indicated the damage to the bridge not as serious as at first reported.
 Investigations were scheduled during the day by the railroad, in- terstate commerce commission and public utilities commission to fix re- sponsibility.
 The railroad detoured much of its traffic through Danbury and transferred passengers on trains piled on either side of the wreck by bus.
 Although the New Haven road offices at New Haven reported tt expected to get track three cleared this morning to permit east and westbound trains to pass on q de- layed schedule. Workers at the scene said it would be '1mpossi- ble" to operate over the bridge to- day.
 The Bankers Express left New Haven at s a. n., but 1t was be- Iieyed 1t would be halted probably at Southport or forced to take the Danbury detour.
 Three investigations got under way as restricted traffic was re- stunned at mid morning. Hughes and James Tierney, conductor of the colliding train, declared they had been given fl "clear" signal and be- lieyed the first train, which passed them at New Rochelle, N. Y., An hour or so before. was proceeding toward New Haven.
 Thousands of commuters to New York were delayed by the necessity of leaving their trains at Southport and transferring to Westport by bus.
 Sparks from the burning cars set fire to the home of Anthony Sat- onare. two blocks away, but caused little damage.

 Hoped He'd Drown
 Describing a conversation with sherman the day before what she referred to as "the accident" Es- ther said:
 "I told him that if the canoe tipped over I hoped he would go down three times and come up two but that his wife would be saved"
 Esther's testimony was given in voice SO low and treTnulous that Superior Judge Thomas J. Han1- mond leaned oyer the bench to catch the words, and Sherman bent forward in the prisoners dock, frowning when phrase escaped him.
 The girls story was studded with such coiorful names as Caesars Rendezvous, Purgatory and Pirates Den, as shetold of her highbali parties and betting parties with the defendant.
 Four Petting Parties
 Specifically she mentioned four betting parties. as follows:
 Parked on lonely road--they chatted and he tried to kiss her.
 Parked in Purgatory state park .--they hugged and kissed. He told her he loved her.
 Parked on Quaker highway they hugged and kissed. On advice of counsel, Esther refused to an- swer the question, Did anything else hapDen7"
 Parked on lonely road--they hugged and kissed.
 As the romance developed, Es- ther testified. she realized she should not be seen alone with Sherman.
 So. when there was a church supper and. later a grange supper. in Sutton, she agreed to go with him only if chaperoned. But in each case, she said, they took the chaperon home first and, on one occasion, went on a betting party.
 In L voice trembling with emo ton, the Wieness described a con- yersation she had with sherman at the machine shop where both worked.

 The 1900 mile flight up the Nile into upper Egypt and the Sudan, and the continuing 500 mile flight to Asmara which I completed on the way to the front emphasized graphically. fin addition. one of the foremost reasons for the acute ItaIo- British tension over Ethiopia.
 From a mile high you see 60 miles in every direction in the scorching, blinding sunlight and realize the vital geographical fact that the Nile is Egypt and that Egypt is nothing but the Nile.
 You are struck forcibly in the air that the Nile Is Egypts life stream. You sec that Egypt is only a narrow ribbon of dark green that seemed but a few miles wide along the side of f. river. That little strip supports Egypt's millions. On eith- CT side as far as the eye reaches, and for hundred miles beyond, there lies the Tasny desert. baking in il temperature of 110 to 120 de- grees. largely uninhabitable.
 The nation that controls the head | waters of the Nile can bring ire sistible pressure on Egypt. Eng land does not want any nation to get into the position of controlling | the flow of the Nile waters from | the Blue Nile which rises in Ethi- opia, nor does it want Italy to gain control of Lake Tana in Ethiopia, which controls the head waters.

High Death Rate
Blamed on Auto
But 1884 Is Rated Among
Lowest in Records
of Nation.

The mortality rate for 1884 shows
an increase over 1888 but IS still
among the lowest the nation has ever
had, according TO DR.. Robert a. Fra
ser, chief medical director of one Of
the great life insurance corporations.
Basing his conclusions on life in
surance figures, Doctor Fraser re-
ported to the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents that the NOR
tality rate for the year just pas
will be 1853 per 10000 policy hold
ers. This is an increase Of 37.6 per
100000 over 1888. In terms of totals,
he said, this means that there were
about $4,000 more deaths in the
United States during 1884 than there
were in 1888.
About 5000 of these $4,000 are to
be accounted for by the increase in
population, he said, while another
5000 are attributable to the increase
in automobile fatalities.
One may ask what the point is in
saving people from death by disease
if they are to be bumped off by care
less automobile drivers who are driv-
ing at rates of speed which make
adequate control of their cars impos-
sible.
Fatalities from the group of dis
eases including heart disease, chronic
kidney disease, apoplexy and arterio-
sclerosis, far outweigh those from
any other source, Doctor Fraser re-
ports. The combined fatalities from
this group are 279T per 100000 pol
icy holders.
Deaths from heart disease showed
an increase of SO per 100000 for
1884 over 1888, he continued.
Life insurance policy holders dying
from cancer in 1884 numbered "a 3
per 100000, an increase over 1888,
when the rate was SS.3.
Regarding increases in heart dis
ease and cancer, Doctor Fraser
points that these diseases are most
prevalent in middle and later life.
"As we know, biologically the span
of life has certain definite limita-
tions," he says. Consequently, an
increase in mortality from these
diseases need not be regarded as in
dicating a forced retreat in our fight

RUG WELL NAMED
BED OF ROSES
By GRANDMOTHER CLARK

The original rug shown measures
H inches and requires four pounds
of rags to complete. 1t is braided
with three strands, but can be GRO
cheted. A crocheted rug has better
wearing properties. Many colors
are used in the following combina-
tions: Center circle in white, yell
low, red. and black. Three of the
outer circles in various rust shades
The other three circles in two shades
of blue, and yellow. Outer edge is
rose, yellow, black.
This rug shows that beautiful
rugs can be made of rags. The
regulation or common rag rug is
either round or oval, with various
color combinations, and when fin
ished has no particular beauty. In
making the above BED of Roses rug,
make seven small round rugs about
twelve inches in diameter, and set
together as shown here, then work
rows all around to size wanted. It's
a different rug and only another
idea of what can be made of rags.
The best material for making rag
rugs is "Linkraft." When using this
new material no cutting or match
ing of sizes is necessary. Linkraft
is a round knitted material like jer-
sey. 1t comes in links about five
inches long, but stretches to about
nine inches when linking together
These links are to be linked together
in solid colors or mixed as desired.
Linkraft is very durable. does not
fray like rag strips and Linkraft
rugs weigh about 20e6 less than rag
rugs.
If you are interested in making
rag rugs, send for Grandmother
Clark's Book No. % on Crocheted
and Braided Rugs. Twenty-six rugs
are illustrated, with instructions.
A wonderful selection to pick from
when having a good-looking rug in
mind.
