The crowd appeared to be enjoy
! ing the shrewd way Betty answered

State Paid Her $3.50.
Reilly's questions, sharp, crisp and
rapid, beat upon the witness with
surf-like consistency.
He turned to the question:
who paid your fare over to this
country?"
She said after much questioning
that the State haid paid her fare
and given her an additional $3.50.
For your services here?" Reilly
insisted.
Wilentz objected to services"
To Wilentz's objections Reilly heat
edly replied:
II object, too. You're not testify

Miss Cow said she decided to come
here when knew I'd get that
amount"
She said under Reillys questioning
that she had not worked one day
since her return to Scotland, that her
total capital on leaving this country

parture for this country she had been
offered a job at about $12 a week.
Reilly showed her two pictures, one
which she identified as her own. The

A. Yes.
@. Did you know her?
A. Yes, did.
Q. Very well.
A. No.
@. How old was she?
A. In the late twenties.
Reilly then switched to the week
end preceding the kidnapping, and had
Betty Cow tell that it was Mrs. Lind
berg's habit TO take the baby down to
the Sourland estate and care for it
herself.
She then told under Reilly's ques-
tioning that she had told her friend
Red johnson" of the Lindbergh FAM
ilyis movements.
She said she told johnson land
probably others" that the Lindbergh
baby was not returning home on Mon
day.
Mrs. Hauptmann Gaunt.
Mrs Hauptmann gazed at the wit
ness through red-rimmed eyes. The
defendants wife, who had managed
to procure place just five seats from
her husband, was gaunt from worry.
Reilly wanted to know all about the
telephone call the nurse received from
Johnson the night of the kidnapping.
Mr.. johnson and I held a tele-
phone conversation after Col. Lind
bergh arrived" she said, fixing the
time about $50 pm.
@. Where was the call from?
A. Englewood.
Reilly raised his voice sharply and
cut in:
s"Didnt you know it was from Hope
well?"
mo-" she retorted quietly.
Wilentz meanwhile was on his feet
objecting because the question was
predicated on a statement not q fact.
II am testing her credibility,"
Reilly snapped. She does not know
where the call came from
The witness testified that Mrs.
Whatley's window in the Lindbergh
home faced those of the nursery.
She said that the second floor was
vacant until 9 pm, when she went up
to look at dress with Mrs. Whately.
Q. That left Whately alone, didn't
1t?
A. Yes, at 9 O'Clock.
She said that the child was mot
accustomed to strangers"

Owen Knots, the court held that the
election judges were acting in mat
ter involving the exercise of discre-
ton rather than matter merely min
isterial in the performance of their
duties and ruled that the petition be
dismissed.
In the eyes of the court, it was ap-
parent from the lengthy opinion filed
with the clerk, profusion of legal
angles narrowed to the validity of five
challenged ballots and the authority of
Election Judges r. Bruce Massey and
G. Aldred Walls to pass upon their
legality.
The opinion set forth in effect, that
Sudlersville has been conducting its
elections year after year since 1870
under the same laws and in the same
manner as the recent election without
controversy and that the affairs of the
town have been administered with
more than the usual success for towns
VI It's SlZSs uS uCCAS1Oli AhASA GA OAAe$o
the court had no record to question
the application of the same laws and
methods in the last election.
In the election which took place last
April, Mr.. Roe, Elwood Walls and T.
A. Geiser opposed Joseph M. George,
Robert Clendenning and N. A. johnson
for the freeman Board of Town
Commissioners. George polled 127
votes, Roe 1874 and Clendenning 118
to win the three posts.
The mandamus action was brought
by the Roe faction against the Elec-
ton Judges R. Bruce Massey and G.
Alfred Walls and was first heard at
the May term of Circuit Court. The
Court ordered that briefs be filed by
attorneys for both sides.
Thomas J. Heating, Jr., represented
Mr.. Roe's interest. Former Senator
]. H. C. Legg and William R. Horney
were arrayed for the defense.
Costs in the case are to be borne by
the plaintiffs, according to supple
mental order of the court.

OPPOSITION TO REMOVAL
OF MAKEMIE MONUMENT

Editorial comment in the Richmond
Norfolk and other Virginia newspa-
pers for the past several weeks has
been strongly opposed to the proposed
moving, by the Presbyterian Histori-
cal Society of the monument that it
erected in 1908 to the Rev. Francis
Mackenzie, from Accomack county to
Rehoboth Church in Worcester county.
While it is perfectly fair for the
Virginians to have their own opinion
on the matter of moving or not NOV
ing the monument, their attitude and
Interpretation of the historical rec
ords of the Presbyterian Church in
America has been most unfair.
Their authenticated claims and state
ments include the false hypothesis
that the Rev. Mackenzie organized Vir-
ginia churches before he came to Mary
land; that the Snow Hill Church anti
dates the Rehoboth Church, and that
the only reason Rev Mackenzie came to
Maryland at all was because he could
not legally organize dissenting congre-
cations under the Virginia laws of
1856, which prohibited services other
than the Episcopal, in that State.
The actual records of the Mackenzie
churches were received editorially in
this paper last week. They leave no
doubt of the claim that Rehoboth was
the first organized Presbyterian
church in this country.
At the time of the 250th anniver-
sary of the founding of Presbyterian
ism on the Eastern Shore, Charles D.
Holland, writing in the Baltimore Sun
reviewed all the records back to 1865
and unquestionably placed Rehoboth
as the oldest of all American Pres
byterian churches.

ing of three through truss steel spans,
each 260 feet long, one draw swing
span 265 feet long to provide for a
clear channel opening of 100 feet wide,
and concrete approaches supported on
concrete piles, will have total length
of STAT feet. The south approach will
be 1900 feet in length and the north
approach, 1900 feet.
In spite of two exceptionally severe
winters, work having been started in
March 1884, during both of which the
Choptank was frozen over, and con
stantly recurring high winds, a salts
factory rate of progress has been main
tanned on all of the various related OPP
erations, with the result the work will
be completed and turned over for use
within the contract time.
The bridge will be a chief link in
the Maryland State higway system,
and promises to play an important
role in the development of the East
ern Shore generally.
The project involves the use of ap-
proximately $50 concrete piles, "a
inches square at the top, running in
length from SO to 80 feet, according
to the depth required at the founda-
ton site, which was determined in ad-
vance by driving of many test piles.
An elaborate concrete casting plant
was set up on shore to manufacture
the piles for the structure. Practically
all construction was carried forward
with equipment mounted on barges,
towed to points desired as needed.
Weather conditions at times seriously
impeded pile driving operations, since
bad storms developed in less than an
hours notice, and the floating piling
equipment had to be made ready either
to stand blow or to be towed to a
safe, sheltered anchorage.
The piers of the main bridge were
constructed in open cofferdams built
on a soft bottom in deep water, in
one case over fifty five feet deep.
