him recalled to the witness chair.
De Bisschop was asked to illustrate
his contention that there were more
knots at the bottom of a pine tree
than at the top.
The contractor produced a pme
sapling about twelve feet tall saw
ed in two pieces.
Wilentz objected against the
demonstration because he said it
was •’obviouslv” impossible to cut

Pope insisted the method of grow

that he sought to show the ladder

The wood man was seeking to
demonstrate that the ryuptmann
attic board had fewer kntfts and
could not be of the same piece with
the ladder rail
Justice Trenrhard allowed the
demonstration to “proceed briefly.”

Pope turned the witness over to
Wilentz

to make that the board had never

Justice Trenrhard allowed Wilentz
to proceed with an understanding
that if they were not eonneeted they
would be excluded.
Dr Bisschop expressed the view
hutt one of the nails had not been
used and could not have been taken
out of the attic board.
“It could not have been taken out
and still be as straight as that.” he
•nrtained.
Then, as Wilentz was taking the
nail from him, ne asked to see it
again
Q. Do you want it so that you can

A. I may or may not
Q. Would you sag now ft was

Card Introduced
The defense was allowed to in

which the variation in plane nick
marks was allegedly displayed.
Brevoort Bolmer, gasoline station
proprietor of Bolmer s Corner, near
Hopewell. was called next by Pope.

said.

A. Three or four times,
Q. What «'iu> the last time you

A. March 1. 1932 at 1:15 a. m.

the car?
A A very poor ladder was tied on
the back. It took me some time to
ligure out what it was.
The man said he was going to
do a nursery .fob/' he added.
Bolmer asserted he had an op
portunity to touch the ladder and
examine it.
A man and a woman were in the

On Record Is His Wife’s
* * * * * *****
Or that of His Daughter
NEW YORK. Feb. 7. .*V- From
a scratchy, asthmatic phonograph
in a staid supreme courtroom Thurs
day came a meaiey ot voices pur
porting to be a three-way conversa
tion between Fay Webb Vallee. her
father and her mother.
The record was played by Hyman
Bushel, counsel for Rudy Vallee, or
chestra leader whose estranged wife
is seeking more maintenance money.
The phonograph was set up before
the witness stand during cross ex
amination of Mrs. Vallee's father,
Clarence E. Webb, a plainspoken man
who day before yesterday testified
that his son-in-law was "no angel.”
Questioning the witness concern
ing a transcontinental telephone
call which he put through from San
ta Monica. Calif., to his daughter in
New York. Bushel asked Webb:
“Did you give the phone to your
wife?”
Webb, police chief of Santa Mon
ica. replied in the afifrmative.
“Did you hear your wife say this
to your daughter?” asked Bushel.
*• Has Garfield been around the
house?”
“I did not,” said Webb
This telephone conversation took
place after Vallee had called his
father-in-law. saying, “things are
getting beyond my control,” and
asking him to come to New Y^k.
Bushel continued, “would you know
who your wife meant by Gar.|?ld?”
“I knew a young man named Gar
field.” said Webb.
The ’‘Garfield” referred to his
Garfield “Garry" Leon, whose wife
cnce sued Mrs. Vallee for alienation
of affections. Further que.stionlng
brought out that Leon is an adagio
dancer by profession.
••I will see if I can refresh your
memory.” said Bushel.
Over objections by former State
Senator Thomas I. Sheridan. Mrs.
Valee’s counsel, the record Was play
ed in the machine.
A feminine voice could be distinct
ly heard saying. "I won’t know any
thing about it.” and “that's very
funny.” The other voices were Just
a blur of sound.
“Do you recogniae the voices?”
Bushel asked Webb.
“I do not.” Webb said heatedly.
That is not my voice, not my daugh
ter's voice, not my wife's voice.

VICKS PLAN '«» CONTROL OF COLDS
BEHOLD
the stranger!
A stranger moves to your neighborhood. You observe
him tolerantly, but with no immediate display of inter
est. You are an established resident, getting along very
nicely before he came.
But you do not avoid him. For reasons not entirely
unselfish you wait for him to reveal himself. Possibly
he may add something to your social and business lite.
Possibly he will take a highly respected place in the
community. He may ever become one of your intimates.
It is up to him.
So you note his manners, talk with him. and form an
opinion. If he comes up to your requirements, you ac
cept him. and often he proves a welcome addition to your
group of friends.
It is with exactly the same attitude that the intelli
gent newspaper reader regards the advertisements of
products new to him. These strangers may add some
thing to his civilized enjoyment. They may contribute
to his comfort, safety—even his success. In many ways
they may prove valuable. Certainly it is wise to give
them careful consideration.
Read the advertisements in The Herald. They may be
the means of introducing you to products that will take
important places in your life. And every day they will
give you information that enables you to buy intelligent
ly and make your money go farther.
