Stopped the ShOcU

Suddenly a shout went up
from the crowd" said Heinie.
1T was a different toned shout.
and there in the ring was the
Texan.
Action ceased, but not the
COB. He raced up to the bull
and leaped on his back. Then,
yelling like a Comanche, he
began to rake tie critter with
his heels in true rodeo style.
That was too much for ell
toro, and too much for the
crowd. The bull beloved in
surprise, and the crowd bel
lowed in anger.
THE national sport of Spain
was being desecrated by a
Gringo. The wounds of 1898
ached and burned again, and
mighty cry swept the arena:
"Vamos, Gringo, vamoS!"
But the sailor was having a
lot of fun. He continued to ride,
Spurring like mad. Finally he
leaped to the ground, made a
mock bow, jumped the barrier
and was lost among his COM
rades in white.
"The crowd was in an ugly
mood. Had one knife or bottle
been thrown, a riot would have
ensued and a serious interna-
tional incident might have de-
veloped.
Swift thinking by the chief
petty officers prevented trouble.
Half a dozen whistles blew. The
discipline of the Navy mani.
tested itself. The sailors fell
into ranks and left he arena
at once.
I'VE were mighty glad to get
safely aboard ship. Apologies
were made to the mayor of
Elizabethtown by the admiral,
but shore leaves We : cancelled,
and we saw no more of the town.

worse happened" concluded the
colonel.

which then was charging madly
at the cape of the matador.
you perhaps are familiar
with the ceremony of the bull
fights" Miller said. There is a
colorful parade Of the matadors
and the others down the center
Of the ring.
"On this day they marched in
front of the boxes where high
ranking officers of our fleet sat,
and announced that the first bull
slaughtered would be dedicated
to the admiral.
This was an honor, and q
skilled master of the sword was
to make the kill. You know the
routine of the bullfight,"
Colonel Miller continued. "As the
bull entered the arena he roared
in pain and surprise from the
darts jabbed into his shoulders.
Then he was decorated by the
banderillo, and finally, as he
stood painting from exertion, he
was stabbed between the Shoul-
der blades,
THE second bull was dedi-
Gated to one of the captains of
the fleet. The toreado- had
just aroused the crowd to a
frenzy with his deft cape work.
He placed a handkerchief in his
blouse pocket, and the charging
bull hooked it with his horns as
he plunged past. This is the
acme of the matador's art, but
it meant little to the sailors.
They cheered for the bull, and
exhorted him to get that guy

Testimony of Ex-PoIiceman
to Climax Trial in BeuIah
Limerick Murder.
EX.INTERN TO OPEN
CASE FOR DEFENDANT
Former Hospital Attache to Be
Called to Deny There Was
Stained Linen on Bed.

The trial of former Policeman
Robert F. Langdon for the seven
year-old murder of Beulah Limerick,
49, secretary of the Sky High Whoopie
Club, will reach its climax this week
when Langdon takes the witness
stand in District Court in his own
defense.
Some persons had expressed the
belief Langdon would not take the
stand on the theory the Government
had not produced enough evidence
to establish his guilt. but it wos learned
that E. Russell Kelly, the former police
mans attorney, has stated his client
will testify.
1t was understood Attorney Kelly
will open his defense tomorrow by
calling Lyman Greene, former Casu-
atty Hospital intern, who was called
to the Limerick home after the slain
girls body had been found on the
morning of December 81, 1880.

1t is expected Mr. Greene will
testify that when he first examined
the body there was an unstained
sheet and pillowcase on the day.

ness for the Government has testi-
fed there was large bloodstain
on the pillow from bullet wound
in her head He said there was no
pillowcase and no sheet on the bed.
The Government witness. member
Of the Fire Department, viewed the
body about Is minutes after Mr..
Greene had left the house. 1t is ex-
pected the defense will argue that only
the murderer could have had motive
for covering the bloodstain while Mr..
Greene was in the house, and that 1t
could not possibly have been Langdon
who put the pillow case on the pillow
or removed it during the 15-minute
interval between the departure of the
interne and the arrival of the fireman.
Has 6 Other Witnesses.
1t was indicated Mr.. Kelly has five
or six other witnesses, but it could not
be learned whether they will all be
called to the stand. Their testimony
it was said. will corroborate Langdon S
expected testimony.
Although Trial Justice Daniel w
/ O'Donoghue indicated from the bench
Friday that he would deny a motion
