He said he ex- pected to bring out testf{mony here showing Goodwin’s attentions to her during his. engagement at Delmar in the summer of 1909. The suit was filed in New York. Miss Julia Lannon, sister of Maud, an actress also on the stage, said that any statement that Maud Lannon’s relations with the actor were improper would be untrue. “Mrs. Goodwin’s lawyers tried some time ago to get a statement from her,” she said, “‘but she declined to say what they wanted her-to say, because it wasn't true.

He’ll be an advertisement writer. The Captain was pleased with himself when he jwent to work Tuesday. He ehuckled when he learned that the Wom- en’s Smoke Abatement League at a meeting Monday afternoon criticized what Capt. McCulloch considers the best advertisement he ever wrote. It is dis- played on the front dashboard of every heavy steel grating. By lighting a match and holding it through the bars Maginn could see that it was fitted with a knob combination and that the outer time door was ajar. © If they could open the barred door they would be free unless one of them should again accidentally touch some of the sénsitive mechanism. From inside Maginn could not see the dial‘of the combination. There was one chance in a thousand that he could open the door by luck. Putting his hand between the bars he turned the combination knob at ran- dom. Left in Darkness. Kessler held matches for him wun- til their supply ran out. Then they were in utter darkness. For an hour Maginn worked blind- ly at the combination. Then Kessler relieved him.

He has not stated how he will plead yet and will not until he sees how many ghosts of his former hap- piness wil] confront him. The present action was brought by Essie Johnson, a young woman of St, Joseph, who showed a marriage certifi- cate binding her closely to the preacher.
