POISON THEORY
IN CLE0CASE

HARLOTTESV VILE, Va,
March 8.-While authorities inves-
tigating the murder Of Cleo
Sprouse today intimated that two
women might be questioned, the
theory that a deadly poison and
not chloroform might have been
used in her murder, was injected
into the case.
The poison theory came from
DR.. J. A. Waddell, professor of
pharmacology at the University of
Virginia, who made an analysis
Of the chloroform can found on
the body of the 18-year-old victim.
He declared the can was of the
type used to contain phosgene, a
deadly gas introduced in the World
War, and hydrochloric acid.
DR.. Richard G. Miller, 53-year-
old dentist, has admitted he chloro-
formed the girl and placed her
body near the wall of the Univer-
Sity of Virginia cemetery.

American passengers were injured

Three of the Americans were
said to be in serious condition,

Two of the dead passengers were

were fatally injured when hurled
against steel bulkheads. American
consular officials boarded the Rex
at Naples, but could not confirm
the death of any Americans.
At least so more passengers,
slapped about in their cabins,

around in companionways were
suffering from severe bruises, cuts,
sprains, and in some cases bone

WISE, Va, March 8.-Charges
that three members of the jury
which found Edith Maxwell, %
year-old mountain school teacher,
guilty of the murder of her black
smith father, Trigg Maxwell, and
sentenced her to 20 years in the
penitentiary, were prejudiced
against her, were filed today as
argument started to set aside the
verdict.
Charles Henry Smith, Washing
ton and Alexandria lawyer now
her sole defense counsel, filed nine
affidavits with Judge Ezra Carter,
all charging that the three jurors
had expressed belief that Miss
Maxwell was guilty, despite their
statements to the court that they
could serve with an open mind.
Affidavits Offered
1t was charged in the affidavits
that after the first trial, when Miss
Maxwell was found guilty of first

Is years, these three men stated
that if they had been on the jury
they would have recommended an
even more severe sentence.
Since the jurors were under
oath when they stated they had
no opinion or prejudice, it is pos
sible Judge Carter may summon
the jurors into court and question
them about the earlier statements
they are alleged to have made.
This action of the defense
caught the commonwealth by sur
prise, and Oscar Wears, special
prosecutor, asked for a delay so
the State might investigate.

Smith offered to produce all
those making the affidavits in

to a lengthy continuance.

most widely read of any of Ameri-

to the National Theater Saturday
morning, January 80, as the fourth
in the current season of plays Of
the Children's Theater of New

This is one Of the most popular
plays in the repertory of the versa
tile Children's Theater of New
York, whose three companies OF
grown-up professional actors put
on plays for children in over 100
cities in these United States.

version differs from that of the
cinema, in that it ends on happy
note and before Beth's death. 1t
follows with careful fidelity the
plot, character Interpretation and
background of the original story.
The quaint costumes and settings
accurately recreate the atmosphere
of the Civil War period.
Tickets for this play are on sale
at the office of the Women'S Inter

well as at the box office of the Ma

formance when he sat in the bal"
cony of the old McVicker's Theater
and by the dim gas lights watched
the late Harry Keller suspend a
woman in midair over the Shad.
oWy stage. This illusion began .
career that started with six years
constant practise in modern black
art until Blackstone's footlight
debut in a small turn at Schu'
macher's hall, National Avenue,
Chicago.
Not until 13 years later did he
see Harry Keller again and then
he met him for the first time when
the aged magician paid him
homage with a backstage visit at
the Macon Theater, Los Angeles,
where Blackstone became the first
wizard headliner to bring a two

Current Capitol patrons will see
the lady levitation on this stage,
now perfected by Blackstone to
such a degree that it can be viewed
from a foot away, but nevertheless
built upon the secret willed to him
by Keller at his death in 1926, and
the same lady in midair illusion
seen by young Blackstone at the
McVicker'S in 1898.
