m Skla of Oae side of Her race una Hwk
Deetrejed, Half Her Hair darned Off; and
One r Ilrr Rim Injured She May Be Dlt
flgared nr Life Hewtae Raya Were availed
Mill JmI MoeDonsld of 0 West Forty-fifth
street Is sufTorlng from X-ray burns, which de
stroyed tho skin of ono ttdo of her fftco and neck,
burnod nearly halt the hair off her head, Injured
ono of her eyes, and threaten to leavpherdls
flguredfor llfo. Miss MncDonald had trouble
with her teeth about six woeks ago. Borne of
her teeth In tho right upper jaw had been re
moved and the norves of others had been killed,
but tho Jaw continued to give her pain and to pre
vent her from sleeping. She went flnalljr to Drs.
Kelson T, Shields and Georgo F. Jerntgan, den
tists at 131 Madison avenue, for treatment.
Thojr decided that the seat of trouble was proba
bly In tho bonjr cavity of the upper part of the
Jaw, known as tho antrum, and, as It was Impor
tant to make as sure as possible of this before
oporatlnir, It was suggested that on X-ray pho
tograph should be mode of the Jaw before pro
ceeding further.
At the dentists' ofllco It was said yesterday
that this suggestion met with Miss MacDon
aid's approval, and that she said her sister, Mrs,
Thomas Byrnes, with, whom sho lives, had al
ready spoken of her resorting to this expedlont
tolocatothosoatof tho trouble Tho dontlsts
soy that tlioy had never had any of this work
dono before, but that they had received recom
nicndutlons from a profossor of anatomy In ono
of tbo city colleens In favor of M. J. O'Connor of
124 West Fifty-third streot ns a compotont X
ray man, and they went with Miss MacDonald
to his place on Juno 25.
O'Connor says that ho took the plcturos Just
as he has taken many similar ones before, lie pre
pared his plato In a holder and this was fastoned
to Miss MacDonald's face, close against her
right choek. with the contrn of the plate about
over the antrum of tho right upper jaw. Miss
MacDonald was seated In front of the X-ray
tubs and about a foot away from It, with tho
electrodo of tho tube which sends forth the rays
directed toward tho centra of tho plate diago
nally on a courso which would lot the rays enter
the left side of her head and face, so that those
rays which were to picture tho antrum would
have to traverse as little bono as possible on
their way to the right jaw.
"It is always my custom." said Mr. O'Connor
yesterday, "tohavo my sitters dote their eyes
and then to turn the current on and oft several
times without their knowledge, and during this
time to ask them to tell mo whether they can
tell whethor it is on or off. If they can f eol that
it Is on, I move them further away to save them
from any chanco of Injury. 1 presume I did this
in Miss MacDonald's case, but I do not remem
ber distinctly.
" The first exposure was eight minutes. Miss
MacDonald must have moved this time, for tho
picture was not sausiactory.
" I then made a second exposure. This lasted
thirteen minutes and made a very fair picture.
"I did not know until yon told me that Miss
MacDonald had been injured. It is very dis
tressing news to me. I cannot account for it
unless sho was particularly susceptible to harm.
I have never had but one complaint before, and
in that case the burn was trifling."
Miss MacDonald felt no bad effects from the
X-ray exposure on the day the picture was
' made, out two days later her face began to swell
on tho left aids and to grow black. Then her
family physician. Dr. Uriawold of 42 West
Thirty-fifth street, was sent for. and he has had
her under treatment ever since. The whole left
Ids of her f ase turned to a blister, and the burn
extended down her neck and arm and to her
chest. 8oon the hair on the exposed side
?f her head began to fall out and
eft tho scalp bare. Her left ear swelled to
throe times Its normal size and the nerves of her
I fight eye are affected. She says that she has
bad no hearing in the right oar since the burns
developed. Dr. Grlswold confirms this descrip
tion of her injuries.
"She has been under my care for a month,"
he says, "and I cannot tell how long she may
take to recover. lam not an expert with the
ItOntgen rays, and do not know their effects,
Very few men do. It Is all a new subject, and
much is to be learned yet. This injury seems
( like a burn from a hot surface, and. like all
barns of txtis sort, the recovery Is slow and
tedious. As vet there has been no ulcerative
process, and I think that the deeper tissues are
not involved, though how far electricity effect
the trophic centres I am not ablo to say. Per
haps the dermatologists who do more of that
work can tell you."
The dangers of the X rays were pointed out
In an article printed recently In tho Sunday 8VH,
Sad ono of the curious features of Miss Mao
lonald's caso Is that it la almost exactly the
same ss the first serious case of burning by these
rays which Is on record. The caso referred to
was that of II. D. Hawkes, who was one of
the earliest experimenters and exhibitors
in this conntry of the Rontiren ray
apparatus. From exposing himself to the action
of these rays in the summer of 1800. Mr.
Hawkes's face and hands were burned, his eyes
were affected, and his mustacho and eyebrows
fell out. Five weeks after the hair fell out it
began to grow again, and it came in thicker
than lc was before. Mr. Hawkes's eyes were,
however, so seriously affected that, although hs
, protected them as much as possible, he was
obliged to keep away from tho neighborhood of
tbo X ray tubes. It was about five months be
fore Mr. Hawkes recovered entirely from the
other effects of his burns.
If any ono is to blamo for the injury to Miss
MacDonald. It would seem to bo Mr. O'Connor,
and Mr. O'Connor cannot nlead a lack of knowl
edge of the dangers of the X ray, for he told
Tns San reporter who saw him yesterday that
he had been Mr. Hawkes's partner for three or
four months in exhibiting X-ray machines after
Mr. Hawkes was Injured. Their partnership be
gan In October, 1890. Mr. O'Connor said he bad
alto read Nikola Tesla'a recent article upon the
dangers of tho X ray and how to prevent these
Injuries.
I took the course of electrical engineering at
Columbia, he said yesterday, "and began work
with the X-rays as assistant to Prof. Pupln of
Columbia right after Prof. Itoentgen made
fubllo his discoveries regarding the rays. I was
be first public exhibitor of the rays, having
conducted tho exhibition given at Hilton,
Hughes & Co. 's and the ono at tbo sportsman's
how in Madison Squaro Garden that same
year.
"Ibavo made 1400 or 1600 exposures for
plates and twenty or thirty of Just the same
kind as t his of Mitt MacDonald's face."
Teela has pointed out that the danger from
the X-ray tubes Is exactly like that from a red
hot stove. It one gets within a certain radius
of such as to vo the heat will be intense enough
to burn the skin, while just outside this radius
I no such injury will take place, even with a long
I exDosure. In one caso Mr. Tenia hnmarf r.nm .3
I his bands so that ho lost the skin end linger
I nails from It with an exposure of only 30 seconds
I before a powerful Instrument which was very
near. He says that safety Is only assured by
making tho exposures at h distance of not leu
than fourteen inches from tho tuba snd using be
tween tho person and tho tube a screen made of
flstlnum plate or platinum wire gauie, with
he screon connected to the ground electrically.
No such screen was used In Miss MacDonald's
ease, and Mr. O'Connor says tho distance was
thout twelve inches.
. Mr. Thomas Byrnes, Miss MacDonald's broth
er-in-law, said last evening that the case bad
been placed in tbo bands of Sullivan & Cromwell
of 4.5 Wall street, who will begin a suit for dam-gos.

A Broadway ad ertlter put up a billboard yes

The cloainaT two days ago of a summer hotel
that was for many years ono of tho best known
on Long Island U an evidence of the stato of
mind to which the woathor In the past three
weeks has bronchi the proprietors of summer
resorts. There are other enterprises dependent
on clear skies and sunshlno which have suffered
von more than tho hotels. The performances
of ono out-of-door amusement enterprise near
the city havo practically been discontinued for
three weeks past, although the omission of
tvon one performance means a serious loss to
its proprietor, who is compelled to keep always
in his employ a large number of persons who
receive their pay whether the exhibition Is given
or not Tho beachos fortunate enough to be
equipped with pavilions are able to koep their
employees busy, at least, although they derive
scarcely any other profit from the services of
their companies. To tho entirely open-air es
tablishments tho loss has been so groat tbat a
prosperous season is now almost out of the
question. Tho best that can be hoped for Is
such favoring weathor In August that it will bo
postlblo to make up the season's losses. Ono
recently opened establishment has felt the de
privation of all business with particular force,
and the expenses Incidental to gaining popu
larity for nn unknown resort have Increased to
an extant that was never contemplated by Its
promoters. Tho only roof garden in tho city
which has neither a root nor a theatre to which
Its programme may be transferred has been
practically compelled to discontinue Its efforts
to give a show, and this summer's experience
has oddod new strength to the conviction that
entertainments which demand dry weather as
a nocessary condition are unsulted to New
1 ork summers. Tho covered gardens suffer as
well, becauso the rainy weather does not dis
pose spectators toward seeking relaxation In
places of this distinctly summer kind. The
money that would be expended in this way is
evldontly lost to amusements. Only one regu
lar theatre is open, and that could not pusslhly
contain tho pooplo who would bo collected on all
tho other roof gardens under favornble condi
tions. Tbo particularly discouraging feature
of tho whole buslnoss It that July is always
looked upon as the month of prosperity for the
gardens. The competition of the theatres be
gins in August, wheeling has been discon
tinued to such an oxtent that tho bicycle re
sorts languish distressingly. Tho roads about
tho city, moreover, have been seriously dam
aged In many places. Ono instance of this
can be seen on the IUverslde bicycle path. Be
tween the monument hill and 108th street
there are soveral serious washouts which have
made the road dangerous at night to persons
not familiar with the changes wrought by the
recent downpours so gracefully described a
"showers" by tho authorities on weather.
There havo been so many schemes devised
to provido a social substitute for the regular
opera season at tho Metropolitan that Now
York is not likely to suffer from any lack of the
characteristics which the opera has always
given to the society year. The ballroom of the new
Astoria Hotel has been selected as the scene of
the most promising plan which has been under
taken in a way that practically assuros tho ex
cluslvcnesa necessary to tho success of such a
scheme. "The Society of Musical Arts" is the
rather hlghfalutln title which has beon as
sumed by a group of New Yorkers who aro Inter
ested in tho season, and the little club contains
several names that were to be noticed as con
spicuous in the lists of tho laxnontcd Vaudevillo
Club. But tho really Important element ot tho
artistio side of the enterprise depends chiefly,
of course, on tho managers in charge ot tho
Srogrammes, and they have revealed a plan
f campaign wnlch looks at this distance highly
promising. The ballroom of the new hotel
will be a partlcuarlly beautiful and sumptu
ous place, and a better background tor the
sort of audiences that are expected could
scarcely have been found. The entertainments
are to Dcsin at half past 0 and continue until
11 o'clock. There will always be a one-act
play or an operetta, some high-class vocal or
Int trumental music, and possibly some of tho
prevailing vaudeville, so long as It can be
made to conform to the atmosphere of this
series of performances. There aro two panto
mimes already selected, one "The Statue of tho
Commander," based on the story of "Don Juan,"
which wan very successfully given in Parts,
and another, still unacted, composed by Aline
Lachaume. Herman Bcmberg, who has been
quite conspicuous during tbe last London sea
son, in which he frequently accompanied Mmo.
Melba on tho piano at privato concerts, will
probably come to this country next winter with
the singer, and while here he has promised to
conduot at one of the Club's entertainments a
performance of his one-act opera "he Baiser
do Suson." This was his first opera to be per
formed, and it was suns first at the Opera
Comlque In Paris about nine years ago. An
other ambitions :etfort of the club wlU be the
performance ot a ballet by Cecllo Cbamlnade.
when sho will personally conduct the orchestra;
and an oratorio, alto the work of this woman
composer, will be given. Pallleron'a new
proverb play in three parts, "Mieux Yaut
Douceur quo Violence," ought to be a perform
ance especially adapted to such an undertaking.
There aro other operettas announced, as well
as Spanish dances and musical Interludes.
The audiences will bo limited to members, and
It looks as though a better scheme of enter
tainment for this particular field could not havo
been desired. Ruben and Andrews ore the
impresarios to whose care the entertainments
will bo intrusted.
Tbe new steamer which left this port yes
terday with no number 13 on any of her cabin
doors is not unlquo in this rospoct. Many ho
tels in the city possess no rooms numbered with
the figures which are regarded with suspicion
by so many persons. The same care that is
used in keeping the number off the doors Js
shown in changing the number of a room In
which some crime that might attract atten
tion to the house has occurred. One of the
most talked of crimes in this country took place
in a Western hotel that had been famous for
many years. A young Englishman killed bis
friend and hid too body in a trunk. It was
never possible afterward for strangers to dis
cover in what room of the hotel the crime was
committed, as the numbers were changed In
such a way as to make It practically out of
the question for anybody to ascertain the loca
tion ot the room. Tho servant) were bound to
tocreoy so effectively that a man in the hotel
en years after the crime was never able to In
duce ono of them to say a word about it or
point out the room In which it happened. The
proprietors of one Now York hotel that has
long been notable for the number of suicides
that occur there must have been kept busy try
ing to bide the traces of these tragedies, al
though It rarely happened that the numbers of
tho rooms In which they occurred were re
vealed. Somebody asked the venerable dork
in charge of tho place how it was possible to
follow the example of other hotels and change
tho numbers when there were comparatively
so msny suicides. He smiled for he had grown
hardened at;tha questlon,.and said that tho pro
prietor had more than onco thought of taking
off all the numbers and distinguishing the
apartments by the names of tho victims with
out letting toe guests becoino awaro ot this
novel system.
A Now Yorker who was present at the Duch
ess' ot Devonshire's fanoy dress ball In London
describes the affair as a crush tho like ot which
has never been witnessed here, and probably
never will be. 'There would, under ordinary
circumstances," he said, "havo been plenty of
room for everybody, but so much space in tho
supper rooms had beon set atlde for royalty
that tho rest of the guests were huddled Into
restricted quarters entirely too small to accom
modate them. It was practically a certainty
that nobody in the room would get anything to
eat ot drink, and I don't believe as a matter ot
fact that anybody did get enough supper to
deserve tho name. About the tables the crowd
stood ten or fifteen deep, patiently awaiting
an opportunity to squoezo their way up to the
table. When one got there It was a matter of
uncertainty whether or not It would be possible
to snatch a sandwich or a glass ot champagno
before another surge In the crowd would
swoop another lot of people to a point within
Each of the table. The women were struggling
tt as fiercely as the men, and a Jewelled
ind would occasionally appear from somo
where, clutch a sandwich from the table, and
then be lost to view again. In the mean time
there was the harrowing spectacle of tbe royal
guests, or at all events those entitled to sit In
the Inolosnro reserved for royalty, eating their
supper In peace and comfort. It was a matter
of at least an hour to reach any one of tbe ordi
nary tables, and there was very llttlo chanco
of getting nnythlug when the tublo was reached.
But iho royal guests had a delightful time of
it."
One ot the changes to be noticed In the prac
tice of the novena at an uptown church in
which the relic of a saint is exposed every year
is the rotlcence of those in cbargo of tho ser
vices in regard to tho names ot persons who aro
supposed to have been healed at the shrine.
In former years It was always possible to learn
from the Sisters or the clergy tbo Identity of tho
Sorsons reported to havo received relief from
lsoato or soiuo other benefit as the result of
their attendance nt the church during the
period dedicated to tho honor of tho mint and
Ilia exposure ot the relic. But this veer tho
molhod of procedure was wholly different.
There were no names glvon out onltcally, nor
was there any Information whatever on tho
subject of tho cures to be had from the authori
ties of the church. Only tho subjects could bo
persuaded to speak of thorn and all Information
from other sources as to that feature of the
, celebration was refused. .

Kelther starved. Her Terrtned, Ker Raved.
Narw ItoomtLLK, N. Y., July 20. Tho seven
Mount Vernon campers on Huckleberry Island,
regarding whom thore was much anxiety last
night, and also nine campers from Harlem, who
wore on the same Island, wore found this
morning not to havo been harmed or even seri
ously inconvenienced by the heavy storm that
had cnt them off for two days from communica
tion with tho mainland.
After last night's heavy rain tho day broke
this 'morning on a 'glassy sea. Long, scarcely
perceptible swolls wore the only reminders of
yesterday's terrific, storm. Tho most fragile
and unstable canoe, was in no danger of mishap
in making tho short Journey from mainland to
the island. Thoso who went to Uuokleborry
found two sets ot campers on the Island. One
was tho party about which ex-Judge William
I". Bard of Mount Vernon was so worried yes
terday when ho looked through marine glasses
and thought ho saw waves sorenty-flvo feet
high breaking over the Island. His son was in
tho party. Tho Judge's ettlmatos of tho waves
and mud and things scared everybody In
Mount Vernon who was rotated to any ot tho
campers.
Tho young people, besides young Bard, were
John Nesbltt, Ezra Do Forrest nnd his sister,
Lillian; Edward Cornell and his slstor, Blanche;
Christian Morgan, and Charles Tonjos.
Charles Bard had this to say ot tho solicitude
ot thoso on shore:
"About tho time Pop was dancing all ovei
Davids Island with a spyglass, wo were hav
ing a poker gamo; it was a beaut; 08 cenU In
tho pot. No, tho girls didn't play; they Just
sewod and talked about the hands. Pop was
just ten times too high on the waves. They
were eight feet high and no lying. It was tho
finest storm to look at I ever raw, especially
when we wore so thoroughly safe. , , ,
" wVhnven't been in any trouble except with the
too fewness of provisions on Wedncsdar night
and with tho loo muchness of roportors, who
wanted to rescue us dead or alive, storm or
calm, this morning. The girls wanted to go
back on Tuesday, but when thoy had to stay
till to-day they didn't mind." , .....
Bard was much Interested when told tbat an
evening newspaper was being sold to an en
thralled metropolitan populaco on the strength
of dltaster-typo headlines something like this:
"Rescued from Island by the IKAoonrrup
Boat-Storm-Bound Camping Party Taken
from Their Perilous Position by a Yacht Tents
Wore Destroyed, Food Was Scarce, and Death
Faced Them, When Help Came Wave Ran
High and tho Girls of the Party Were Saved by
Means of a Rope to the Launch."
"Why, say," sold Bard, whllo the other five
boys Joined in to help him out when his Indigna
tion lacked words, say, the first gang camo at
half past;5. Tho sea was calm as glass. Thoy
asked it we wanted to go ashore or anything;
we said no, thanks,' all wo wanted was sleep.
Pretty soon along came another in a launch.
It was still calm like glass. Tents were all
up, had been all along. Boats were all right;
all three of 'em.
" 'Want to go ashore, anybody,' he said. "Wo
told him that we were just making ready to
take the girls ashore In a rowboat. lie said to
let them go ashore with him. Wo said some
of us were going after provisions and wanted
to get back. Ho said he would bring us back
if we said so. The girls were crazy for a launch
tide, so Nesbltt rowed them and Morgan to the
tnnch and they all wont ashore. We told 'em
then that there was some funny game In It all.
When they see the evening papers and find out
how thoy were 'rescued' thejf will wish they
had stayed on the island. Tho launch camo
back with Nesbitt and wanted the rest ot us
to take a ride. I supposo the reporter wanted
to say he hod risked his busy llfo on us, too.
But ho didn't work us."
The other folkB on tho island were tho Dous
lai family of 300 West 14Mh streot, Mrs.
Richard Smith. Arthur Smith, 7 month old,
and Benjamin Brnckcll, all of 303 West 127th
street. Tho Douglaso snld that they had
camped on the island for nine successlvo years
and this was their worst storm yet. but it hadn't
bothered them enough to keep thom Indoors.
Thoy reported that the Smith baby had gained
weight every day. Tho yacht Dawn was
wrecked on the sou'h sldo of the Island on Sun
day night. The campers fed the crew, none of
Whom was Injured, and took them ashore.
Both parties will remain on the island an
other week.

Tho rain was beating a dreary monotono on
the roof o! 20 Essex street yesterday afternoon,
and Mrs. Meng, who was tho only person in tho

up by this bit 6f good luck, and when tbe
Stranger sat down at a table and started to talk
she sat down, too. Soon another man came In.
He ordered a drink and also sat down wbero
Mrs. Meng and customer No. 1 were seated.
"It's nwful hard luck getting work nowa

" Diamonds t" said Mrs. Mong.
" Diamonds I" said No. 1.
El" Yes, diamonds," said No. 2. and he pulled a
plush box from his pocket. In the box was a
pair of earrings set with brilliant stones, " Thoy
are worth $80." said No. 2. "but I'll let 'em go
for $40. for I went money badly."
"I'll give you that for them," said No. 1.
" Walt till I come back.''
No, 1 went and No. 2 chatted with Mrs. Meng,
Mrs. Meng had long wanted a pair of diamond
earrings and she saw her opportunity.
" Say," she said. " maybe that man will never
come baok. I'll give you $40 for them."
"All rlgnt," said No. 2. "I'm in a hurry.
They're yours."
Mrs. Meng received tho earrings and the man
departed with the $40. She told her husband
what a prlzo she had when be returned. Ho
took the earrings to a Jeweller.
" What aro they worth I" asked Mr. Meng.

After the experience which several members
of the Qloliten Fishing Club had last year when
tho ttdo ran out leaving their boat balanced on
a spllo twelvo feet in tbo air, they declared that
It would take a good deal to get them out again.
But misfortunes pass out ot mind quickly on
the east side, especially with fishermen, Thoy
never got tired ot trying their luck, and recent
ly when tho annual fishing excursion ot tho
Glolstcn Club began to be talked about every
body In the Oriental district who had over
handled a fishing rod scrambled for tickets.
Gus began tho rush by announcing that ho had
struok a lucky fishing spot on the banks and had
taken more than 000 sea bass there hlmsolf,
and that there were 00,000 more waiting to be
caught. Tho proof of his statement was that
he had tho fish, and he distributed them among
thoso who he knew would got the fishing fever.
He did not send a chart with tho lucky llahlng
spot marked out on It, and only Gus himself
know tbat ho bad caught thoso (MX) eea bass
with a silver hook on a Fulton Market llthlng
smack. Ho was seen sitting In tho Battery
Park with his face toward the sun on the day
ho returned homo with tho 11th, but bo wns care
ful that none of his flshormen friends saw him.
Tho strike at Klondlko caused no greater ex
citement that Gus Gloltten s strike nt tho fish

Of Povorty Hollow, who has not attondod a
toast or merrymaking since his dofcat by tho
Bradley contingent last falL announced his In
tention of going, l'oto, the Ludlow Street Jail
barber, and Joko Broadbcck were going "uilt,"

nnd the steamor was announced to loavo from

going to have any mishaps en tho excursion

all tho sinking funds contained, tho commission
hold registered bonds of tho valuo of $'.',053,
441.27. These bonds were purchased from
tltno to time as the monoys recclvtd for tho

paid to the Sinklng.Fuiid Commission on its

has money to lnvoat, It buys city bonds and tho
city gets tbe benefit ot the interest instead ot
somo capitalist.
"The statement," said an official, "shows that
Mayor IIoos either deliberately omitted to

In tho States of Georgia, Florida, nnd Texas.
Tho Bishop snld thoro wns now bolng cnrrlod
on a corrospondcnco'.bctwccn leading men of tho

and that it is proposed that there shall bo held
within a very short tlino, in somo ono ot tho

shall bo taken. Ho addod:
"Tho conference will bo called for tho purpose
of determining what Is best for our peoples to do
under tho present condltlon'Jof affairs In tho

and aro undermining tho nation. If tho crimes
with which negroos of tho South are so fre
quently charged aro as prevalent, as thoy havo
boan reportod to bo during tho uast two years,
then American civilisation, so far as tho negro
is concerned. Is a failure. All through the war
whon the negroes were more closely associated
with whlto women than they are now and when
the wldto men wore absont from their homes to
fight and help rivot tho chains ot slavory more
tightly upon tho negroos, and when tho negroos
bad all opportunities to commit such crimes,
there nover was a slnglo caso of assault charged

John A. Manahan obtained yesterday an order iWnfl
from Justice Russell of ths Bnprtrne Court per- UJsnfl
mlttlng him to como In nnd dtfend an action finH
brought ngalnst him by hit wife, Jeannette V, I H
Mannhan, for an absolute divorce. She I st IJaH
daughtor of James Mulry, dealer In real estate, tViaafl
who died last spring lu his castle In Ireland, i LH
leaving about a million dollars. Manahan was J
tbo manager for Mulry. Ho married his em- H
ployer's daughter In 1880 at the request of her ,'
mother while tne mother was 111 and supposed M
to bo near death. The marriage was kopt ; U
tecrot for family reasons for a time. The Man- ;. H
ahana havo four children. H
The wlfo sued last spring for a divorce, do- H
daring that In Fobrunrr last Manahan ha Tie- H
ltcd two boteli with women ho had picked up ' M
on the street. Two detectives gave evidence - H
nt tbo trial which proceeded on the default of . i'4JJbbb1
Manahan before Justice Pryor, and It appeared oH
that at ono of tho alleged visits ot Manahan to H
the hotel his wife, her consln, and some ",i fH
friends went with tho detectives. Justice JH
Pryor rotcried decision for a considerable time WHaH
on getting a note from Manahan stating that .llBsnl
the evidence wns misleading, as ho wai not ' ftaafl
guilty, nnd ho desired to defond. isbsbbI
