Sarah Mudd feared greatly for
the life of her husband during
the trial. When four of the eight

a record of her husbands trial

Dopp will close the present aper-
ture through the dixie protecting

The present outlet permits wa
ter TO flood the street at high

Dopp said he plans to close this

Island City Art School Gets

Pupils Learn About Anatom,
KEY WEST MOST WON.I
DERFIIL" PLACE IN
WORLD IN WHICH TO
STUDY ART

Summer term Of the Island
City Art School which ii IN IN
old cigar factory at End street
and Flagler avenue, got under
way today with 20 students en-
rolled. ssss
Scheduled to get started To-
night is night class designed
for local residents, who. cannot
spend the daylight hours in the
school 1t is expected that about
20 persons will take advantage
of the night classes, which run
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings.
Teacher at the school is Chris
topher Clark, noted painter and
teacher. who lately has finished
three years of similar work with
the Ringing School of Art, Sara
sofa.
Clark got right down to the
fundamentals in the instruction
today. 1t was about anatomy, the
formation of the bones, the
muscles, the flesh, and how the
bones act under certain stresses,
and how the muscles perform.
The objective of the school is
to furnish to students conscien-
tiously completing the full
course, a training which will in
sure them, insofar as possible,
competence to handle well and
with authority whatever artistic
problem they may encounter.
Basic studies will be life draw
ing and painting, head drawing
and painting. still life, design,
composition, anatomy, perspec-
tive, color theory and landscape.
"This is a wonderful place for
an art school, Clark said, so he
gazed out from the third floor
of the cigar factory at the sur
rounding water and the colorful
foliage.
Il have been all over the
world and this is the only place
where ! find such celebrations are
combined Why. / can stand in
the window of this school and
see hundreds of fine studies for
my brush.
Later, we in the school, will
undertake some landscapes. II is
no wonder that several of the
students, who came down to Key
West, voted unanimously to
bring this school here"
Later it is planned for the
classes to break up into special
lied subjects. These studies will
be largely individual assignments
with individualized instruction,

fashion illustration, advertising
layout, mural design and wallpa-
per and fabric design.
Should a student, after a rea-
sonable amount of time, seem to
have insufficient talent to war
rant further study, the teacher
will frankly advise him so. He
will not necessarily be dropped,
since it often happens that a
student without apparent talent,
by dint of hard and intelligent
effort, surpass those who are OBJ
viously endowed.
1T takes about 80 hours of
hard work every week for nine
months of every year for four
years before a person can do a
competent job of artistic endeav-
or said Clark.

DR.. Mudd did not attend the
showing of The American
Cousin at Ford Theater on
Good Friday in the year 1866 at
which Abraham Lincoln was
present with his wife. He could
not have known that during the
play John Wilkes Booth entered
the Presidents unguarded box.
fired shot at him, and jumped
over the edge of the theater box
onto the stage, catching his foot
in the folds of the American
flag that draped it. DR.. Mudd did
not hear the assassin's final shout
Of defiance. as he limped across
the stage: Sic semper tyrannis!
The South is avenged" He knew
nothing of the friend who met
Booth outside the theater, nor of
their plans to escape to Virginia.
All he did know was that he
was aroused from sleep in his
southern Maryland home at four
o'clock the next morning by a
man on horseback who asked him
to set broken leg. The patient
gave his name as Tyler. The
cause of his injury, he said, was
fall from his horse while visit
ing young lady in Maryland.
Or. Mudd set ''Tyler's" leg, cas-
ed his pain. and gave him and his
friend food and lodging for the
night.
If Booth had not been heavily
disguised, DIR. Mudd would have
known him, as did most people at
the time, because Booth was a
famous actor, though not as fa-
nous as his brother, Edwin
Booth. whom he envied. T h n,
too, he was known to have
made an earlier journey over
southern Maryland in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to abduct the
President DIR. Mudd had met
him at the church he attended.
But, because of his theatrical ex-
perience, Booths disguise was so
perfect that recognition was inn
possible.
DR.. Mudd did not learn of the
