THEONGS ATTEND WOMAN'S TRIAL LONDON, Nov. 21.—The woman's story of her part in the extortion of $750,000 from a hand-some young Indian prince as the price of a rendezvous with her in Paris, with the woman and her story under the enfilading fire of cross examination, drew throngs again today to the law courts building for the resumption of the Robinson suit trial. Mrs. Maud Robinson, beautiful wife of the man who asks recovery from the Midland Bank of his part of the $625,000 he claims was misappropriated by his associates, took the stand to be cross examined on what she termed was romance, not thought of blackmail, which drew her to "Mr. A" the Indian whose name the court has suppressed for "reasons of state." Promise of early sensations in the defense's fight was held out when Lord Halsbury, counsel for Charles Robinson, asked for a settlement from the defense. Sir John Simon, attorney for the defendant Midland Bank, replied that the defense charged several over acts, including allegations of meetings between the conspirators when the plot was hatched against "Mr. A" and charges that Mrs. Robinson had endeavored to lead "Mr. A" into intimacy with her while agents of Montague Newton and Wm. Hobbs, alleged confederate of Robinson, were on watch."

Possibly not exactly in that frank manner, but in substance that is what Albert Edwards Wigam, author, says about the business man who always is complaining he is "tired" and uses the excuse to get away from the office for a game of golf or other means of diversion or exercise. "The tired business man' is not tired at all as he may possibly think; he's sick,' declared the author. "If he would just learn how to take a bath he would make a new man out of himself." Care should be taken in determining the temperature of the water, the author declared, because of the following reasons: Water too hot is debilitating. Water too cold is only temporarily stimulating. Water of nearly the body temperature is taken up by the pores and thoroughly cleanses the elimination system. Wiggam, who is author of "The New Decalogue of Selence," a book on popularized biology which held a ranking with the best sellers of non-fiction recently, also is a widely known scientist and lecturer.

BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCIS TREBO MONTGOMERY We were told yesterday that Billy Whiskers felt a stinging pain in his leg when he was helping to kill the dogs who were killing sheep on a farm. When the last dog disappeared, Billy became conscious that his leg hurt dreadfully, and he turned to look at it. What he saw was a stream of blood flowing from a wound in his leg. Just then everything turned black before his eyes, and Billy Whiskers fainted dead away for the first time in his life. He had kept on fighting though he was wounded, but the loss of blood had at last told on him and he dropped unconscious. When Billy had appeared at the top of the hill one of the men had thought he was a big, white dog and, without stopping to take a second look, had fired and the bullet had entered Billy's leg just above the second joint. When the men saw what a fine looking goat he was, and as they had seen what good work he had done in saving the sheep, they felt very, very sorry to think that by mistake they had killed him. "But I don't believe he is dead," said one of the men from the farm where Shep lived. "I believe he is just weak from loss of blood." In the last story we read of the farmers binding up Billy's left leg after he had been shot by mistake. They sent for the buckboard to drive him back to the farm where they were to take care of him. In about 20 minutes the man who had gone for the buckboard was back, and four of the men lifted Billy up into the wagon and laid his head on one of their coats, which they had made into a pillow for him. And I can tell you there was great commotion and wild excitement in the goat yard when they saw Billy being brought back in the buckboard. "He is dead! He is dead!" wallied one young nanny-goat who had fallen in love with Billy at first sight. "Oh! what a shame!" sighed many others. "I wonder how it happened," said still others. "I suspect he was shot by mistake, as we would have been bad we gone with him," said Shep. "It is hard to obey sometimes, but it is always better in the long run," he sighed. Just then Billy raised his head and baaed to them. "I am all right—only shot in the leg, but these good friends won't let me walk from Garden Grove skiddled on the wet pavement and struck a Jewett sedan from Downey. The Studebaker turned over, and just then a Ford sedan came along and ran into the Jewett.

Prints good friends won't let me walk When Billy had appeared at the top of the hill one of the men had thought he was a big, white dog and, without stopping to take a second look, had fired and the bullet had entered Billy's leg just above the second joint. When the men saw what a fine looking goat he was, and as they had seen what good work he had done in saving the sheep, they felt very, very sorry to think that by mistake they had killed him. "But I don't believe he is dead," said one of the men from the farm where Shep lived. "I believe he is just weak from loss of blood," and he went up to Billy, who lay stretched out on his side, looking very big and white in the moonlight, and put his ear to Billy's heart to find if he could hear it beat. And it did, though very faintly. "I know a little about surgery, and have set the legs of many animals. I will see if he has broken his leg," said the man. He looked and found a bullet imbedded in the flesh, but no bones broken. He told one of the men to take his hat and run to the stream and fill it with water. When the man returned he bathed the wound with the water, cut the hair away from it and extracted the bullet, after which he bound a handkerchief tightly around the leg to stop the flow of blood. Another man opened Billy's mouth and poured water down his throat and bathed his face until Billy opened his eyes and looked around. What, he saw was five anxious faces looking down at him, watching the man bind up his leg. On seeing this, Billy tried to get up, but he fell back, too weak to struggle, and the men held him closer. "There, there, old fellow! You with you. You have made a good fight, and you will be all right tomorrow, but I want you to be still now. Suppose one of you men go over to my house and bring back the little buckboard, and we will put this goat in it and take him over to my house, where I will look after him until he is well. I wonder to whom he belongs. I don't know anyone around here who owns as fine a looking goat as he is. Do any of you?" One and all declared they did not. (Tomorrow we will see Billy riding back to Shep and the sheep on the farm.) PLACENTIA RADIO PROGRAM TONIGHT The Placentia C. of C. gave the program last night over K. F.

BLASTED ROMANCE SAVES MAN'S LIFE SACRAMENTO, Nov. 21.-The blasted romance that twisted the mind of Jas Martin, veteran cattleman of Michigan Bar, made him the subject of temporary spells of insanity, has been instrumental in winning the aged man escape from the gallows. The verdict of the jury in Martin's trial on a charge of slaying John Mayhan during a feud over grazing rights returned last night after 15 minutes deliberation, was "not guilty by reason of insanity." Testimony had been introduced during the trial to show that Martin became mentally deranged after he had been lilted by his boyhood sweetheart fifty years ago. His former sweetheart, Mrs. Annie Grimshaw, was present when the verdict was read and was visibly affected. She shook hands with her former sultor and congratulated him. Martin's friends from "cattle-town" interpreted the verdict as vindication of range justice and showered him with congratulations. FOREIGN FRUITS IN BIG QUANTITY WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 21.
