son, she said, WiniaIski threatened
her and finally struck her on the
jaw.
Attorney Andrew Kata, represent
ing Winialski, tried to bring out by
cross examination that his client
struck Mrs. Likely when she seized
a kettle, but the woman firmly re-
piled that she merely put her hand
on the handle of the Kettle in self
defense against imminent violence.
AS Attorney Kata rested his case,
Prosecutor Galullo asked Mrs. Like
ly whether she recognized him.
"You know who am, of course?'
he asked.
Mrs. Likely at first replied in the
negative, but finally admitted she
knew Pros. Galullo and had spoken
tot him a week ago. Thereupon, the
prosecutor addressed the court and
stated that the testimony given by
Mrs. Likely did not jibe with the
version she told him last week. He
said he felt it was his duty to in
form the court of the contradiction
but did not present the other YER
sion of Mrs. Likely's story.
Basing his argument on the prose-
cutor's statement, Attorney Kats
then asked for a dicharge stating
that the states admission creaed q
strong doubt about the guilt of his
client. Judge Gaffney, however, de-
MED the motion on the ground thai
tho a1,iria,,no v>roco,,of<J II, nn,1rt in
eliminated Winialski.
Before passing sentence, Judge
Gaffney said he was ready to heal
further testimony, but as neither
Galullo nor Kata presented othel
witnesses, he fined the bakery driv.
er $40 and costs. Kata appealed the
decision.
In the course of the trial Attorney
Weisman remained for the mos
part a silent spectator. At one time

I found was an exceptional one.

traits by Nine. A. s. de Romer,

of the embassy was shown infor-
mally. All Of the 10 or more paint
ings exhibited were in water color
on heavy paper, In most instances
stretched, as is a canvass when the
medium employed is oils. The man
ner of painting was broad and
strong. the artist using a simple
palette and drawing exclusively with
her brush-yet the effect was ex-
cellent and apparently attained with
ease despite the fact that not in
frequently the subjects were repre-
sented life size. This Is the more
remarkable when it Is known that
Nine. de Romer uses no body color,
such as Chinese white, with her
pigment, and relies exclusively upon
the colors which come in tiny pans
rather than in tubes or jars. Under
such circumstances the results she
obtains are almost beyond belief.
To q great extent she is self
taught, although she has studied
continuously, visited the great COL
lections in Europe, and worked
assiduously. BY invitation her works
have been exhibited in many of the
cities in Europe under distinguished
auspices and won by their merit,
