ter he gave me a radio for my

and now I'm wondering If I should
give this back to him. l know he

you think I should send il back

Answer: Since you were not en-

his and your future home, il would
be considered rude rather than
proper, TO return this present
which was given you on your
birthday. You might. of course,

 During the several hours he sat in the tree, warning mortified spec tators not to try and force him down, Carlson hacked at his throat with a large knife and refused u heed the pleadings of friends and neighbors not to kill himself.
 Finally, when he became weak from loss of blood, Arthur Wilks caretaker at the adjoining estate oi Ednar Ferber, the novelist, climbed a, ladder which had been brought by f1remen, and removed him from 6 fork in the tree into which he slip ped.

 Alcorn Protests
 Alcorn: Just a moment. Under all circumstances I object. I Sub- init that they had no right to take him to the mayors office where there were two defendants, give him a drink, put him in the mayors automobile and take him more than a mile out of the city to the prem ises of another accused. That is the reason the witness thought it was wrong and I don't believe the court has instructed the jury to that. There were plenty of places where they could have taken this witness and talk to him.
 McDonough: If your honor please, I didn't object before. In the course of this trial, he is pretty good political speech maker and I'm not bad at it myself. It is the right of the counsel for MT. Hayes to ar- range an appointment by an en- ploye of the city of Waterbury, and by the way, MT. Alcorn makes a goat out of this unfortunate in- dividual-
 Judge: Get to the point please.
 McDonough-at his office and in the building where he worked, and they brought, him-very properly, too-to the place where your honor knows from the evidence. Distin- guished lawyers were present and your honor knows MT. Peck well enough from his many years at the bar and MT. Wholean--to know that nothing improper would be done and, by the way, before they left the mayors office, if MT. Kelly hap pens to like a drink-if MT. Car roll happens to like a drink-.here is nothing wrong to take one. He couldn't get a drink out of MT. Al- corn for a hundred years.-- Alcorn: You take enough
 Judge: I think this has gone far enough. Each of you has got before the jury what the position Is in his mind.
 McDonough: Thank you, your honor. We both make speeches.
