"Thomas Saxby," called Mr, Chest- erfield, in an urbane voice, and the. wretched man rose to his feet. once more in the temporary dock. The charge—of wilfully murdering Mollie Crowther—was read out, and the clerk—seeing the prisoner swal- lowing in his throat in readiness to make some exclamation—hastily in- formed him that this was what was known as a preliminary investigation and that there was no need for him to plead at this stage. The intelli- gence seemed neither to encourage nor to depress the a-ccused man, who nodded and hung hie, arms sheep- ishly over the wooden rail before him, turning his olcl cap nervously roune on round in his fingers. Col- onel Evesham and Sergeant Perkins held a whispered colloquy as the re- sult of which the policeman rose to his feet, and stammering and clear- ing his throat nervously said, ad- dressing the Bench that he did not think there was any need for him to make any preliminary speech, but that he would proceed straight away to call his witnesses. The first witness to be called was Doctor Littlewood, the village practi- tioner from Shallow. He was the nearest Doctor to hand when the dead body of Mollie Crowther had been .discoverecl he had naturally been summoned by the Police Constable to whom the.. prisoner bad reported the find. Dr. Littlewood, short, inclined to be plump—held-heeded — with scanty grey hair and distinctly seedy -look- ing black clothes, looked anything but comfortable as he shuffled into the temporary witness box. -He :knew the dead girl, She was about ten years old. He had treated her occasionally, "but not for some tinge." He saw the body of Mollie Crowther lying face downwards in a ditch by the lane which led from behind the forge to the village of Branmsted. He had made a careful examination by the light of an electric torch, and again this morning, and was quite certain that there were no bruises or other signs of violence. There had not been, as yet, any post mortem with sec- tion, but it would seem that the cause of death was the administering of some poison.

Tightly grasped in the child's• hands" was -a bag of sweets. Sergeant held up a couple of sheets of glass fixed together by a piece of passe-partout binding, enclosing a small paper bag, which the witness identified. The clerk enquired in dumb show of the magistrates whether they would like to see the exhibit, which was duly passed up for their inspection. The sweets had been sent to the County analyst. It was pos- sible that the child's death had been the result of eating sweets which had been in some way, either by t c- cident or design, impregnated with poison; but he was not, of course,:at this stage, in a position to discpss That. ay= This concluded the Doctor's evi- dence. But just as the Sergeant rose again from his seat to summon Ernest Crowther, the dead girl's father, Jack Shaw, who was holding the little glass frame with the paper bag in his- hands, suddenly taddresavt1"-7ru4 "I say, Sergeant, did you examine this bag?" The Sergeant reddened. "Of course, sir. It's just an ordin- ary confectioner's bag—from Mar- tin's, at Brightinouth," "I know. But did anyone except yourself handle it between the time it was taken from Mollie Crow'ther's hand and placed between these bits of glass?" The interest became general now amongst the members of the Bench and the general public alike. he Sergeant emphatically denied that anyone but himself had touched it..

COUPON When Psychologists Disagree, What Can Ordinary Folk Think liriver started On Auto Deaths' By U. S. Red Cross ---To Ex- tend First Aid Chain, Con- vention Informed 4,44,444.44,4 CHICAGO The American Red Cross has aimed reinformements ag* ainst death on the nation's highwaya, dedcrtbed by Admiral Cary T. Gray- son, national chairman, as "a nation- al emergency of year-round dlsaster proportions," As tie annual National Red Cross convention opened, organizers an- nounced that rapid expansion of vol- unteer personnel to give emergency first aid In motor accident eases was deemed a major project. Admiral Grayson pointed to more than 36,000 killed and 105,000 maimed in the United States, in 1935 as the motivat- ing force. Already the Red Cross, since launch- ing the service six months ago, has placed 1;000 emergency stations, man- ned by volunteers, in operation along dangerous sections of roads and has'. designated a total of 3,000 stations for establishment in 30 states - "Eventually thergl will be 15,000 sta- tions with first aid workers ready to give aid in those precious moments— between the time of the injury and admission to a hospital," Admiral Grayson said. So important was the problem con- sidered that one whole day of conven- tion session was set aside for discus- sion of "emergency first aid on the highway," under the direction of Ma- jor Harry F. Evans, chairman of the Davenport, Iowa, chapter. CHICAGO—Dr. John J. B. Morgan, Northwestern University psycho- logist, commenting on a prediction that the Dionne quintuplets stood "a good chance of growing into heart breakers and old miids," declared recently there was no scientific basis for such a statement. "The quints are too young to be affected one way or another," he said. "Their future attitudes toward the opposite sex will be molded by a great many factors during their childhood and adolesence." The heart breaker prediction was made by Dr. Donald A. Laird, of Colgate University, who said the quints' segregation from little boys whipe very young might ]Hake them "man haters." Dr. Morgan challenged the Col- gate psychologist's statement that premature birth tended to make children.. better looking was also without scientific foundation. He had been most careful, even him- self, only to handle it with gloves on. "There was nothing on it — in the way of writing—except the printed name of the firm?" "It was a very old bag -looked 'as if it had been used more than once —" the Sergeant, fearing some trap, was doing his best to excuse him- self. "The paper was all crumpled -- worse than it is now the glass has flattened it out a bit—and I can't say any more." (To Be Continued.) INVENTS NEW STOVE THAT MAKES OU HAS W. C.

While a wedding procession was marching through the. streets of Beshenevo, Jugoslavia, the bridegroom -who was the Mayor of the township, Dusko Chiritch -- in a frenzy of happiness seized a barking dog which was accompanying the party and bit its tail off. The dog's howls were drowned by the music of the wedding band, but the Mayor's act did not go .unnotic- ed by his critics on the local coun- cil. The latter declare that local opinion is so shocked over what is considered the undignified act of the Mayor, that it is likely he may be deposed. The Mayor himself pleads that high spirits at the prospect of his marriage, and the number of toasits his friends had made him drink, were responsible for his bit- ing the dog.—South Slav Herald - In the basement of the home of Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell in Washing- ton, his daughter Marcit and two other little girls hay opened a dog laundry, comments the Chicago Daily News. Their motive, alas, is profit. What is mare, they are advertising! They announce that they will wash medium sized dogs for 36 cents. And while it is understood and admitted that they intend to charge extra for flea powder, they are careful not to mention this in publicity. Now, Marcia, is that fair? Is that honest? How many times have you (heard your papa say that advertising at best is but a wasteful charge upon production? Has he not told you that advertisers must be forced to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, on pain of his most severe displeasure? And Marcia, another thing. .Have you not gone about this whole busi- ness in the wrong way? Socialism, like charity, begins at home. In the first place you should not have to do any of the work yourself. You, as chief administrator should just think up rules for washing dogs, with pleuty of fines and imprison- ments. And you should not have to solicit business. Wouldn't it be much simp- ler to have your papa get the presi- dent of the law enforcing all dog own- ers wners in your neighborhood to have the dogs washed at the Tugwell DWA? Above all, do not use the basement. That is very horse -and -buggy indeed. Why not call up a contractor? Order him to build you a fine new doggery in the back yard. Never mind the cost. Papa will pay that. If he didn't he would be just a selfish old Tory. Marcia, Marcia, we fear that you're going wrong. Issue No. 22-- '36 9 i "Let me tell you something: Don't go after riches.
