MADAME IN DOCK. I STEINHEIL MURDER TRIAL I Prisoner's Life Story PASSIONATE SPEECHES TO I JURY. I parte, Thursday.—When yesterday's hear- ing concluded Mme. Steinheil, exceedingly pale, was beckoned away by one of the Republican g-uarde, whom she followed along an underground passage leading from the oourt to the adjaoent police depot. She was placed in a cell No. 33, whither she will be taken after each day's sitting. Mme. Steinheil dropped on to a small bed in the cell, and remained for some time in a state of prostration, with only a saster of charity watching over her. Then she par- took of a frugal dinner, and afterwards slept eight hours before she woke. A queue bad commenced to form once more before the doors of the Palsis de Justice, and by midnight there must have been quite two hundred waiting t? gain admission when the oourt opens to-day. Nor v? it the m,(>sL orderly of clueua?s, foir them were frequent -leutues and dioo,rderlY out- brewo, nec--isitating Polile i entlon.

OentraJ wpws- YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. I I The Steinheil trial from  I intently dramatic. The rpaoious oblong Court was densely Packed. At one end sat the red-robed judges at a their right being the jury and on their laft the Prisoner ^st^y three Republic Guards. The body of the oourt was filled with barristers, including two gowned lady advocates, several journalists and amsts. and one ?r two photcgraphens intent on sur-  back was a narrow spa?ce, where E*me sixty mem- bers ?fS general public, including several ?en. after waiting outside all night, obtained standing room. The first hour and a half was occupied with the usual formalities of swearing in the jury and reading the indictment. The accued, with her veil thrown back, showing the aseii- cate features, pale as alabaster and emaeiated by prolonged anxiety and .T limned immovably to the formidable docu- ment. Her head rested on her black glove4d hand. forming an intentional, but?therw?e admirable, pose for the artists of the iuustrated papers who were zketchmg immediately under the judges' bench. Between the presi?dent ? the prisoner was a table on which were the numerom pieces a, conviction- the cords with which the painter Steinheil and his wife's mother had been strangled. alpenstock, jewel-box, medicine ohest, bottle of rum, packets of wadding, and other sålent witnesses of the drama. Their names having been called over, the eighty witnesses in the case, couspionous among whom was the valA OouiIlard, in Dragoons' uniform; the cook Mariette Wolff. in mourning; her son Alexander, whom at one period Madame Steinheil accused of tne murder; and M. Borderel, the prisoners  lover, were ordered to withdraw, and the president began his interrogation of the woman in the dock, who was then the only member of her sex .n the crowded ,ourt, member of her sex 4 except three or font hardly distinguishable in the little group standing a.t the back and the two lady barristers already mentioned. Prisoner's Life Story 1 The judge took Madame Steinheil rapidly through the whole story of her life. At first she answered in tones that were hardly audible, but she never hesitated for a moment, speaking with perfect self- possession, and frequently cutting tlle Prt%i- dent short and anticipating the end of the question. As the interrogatory became more searching she gradually raised her voice, emphasising her voluble utterances with dramatic gætures. and turning J™™  ?c?ing ju<?e ? ap?atropb?e the jury in long impassioned tirades. The present h?d begw1 hy telling her  <?uld say what she liked, and she took f fulHII advantage of this permission.

STAB IN THE SKULL I A Canton Mystery SUPPOSED OUTRAGE ON A WOMAN A woman, said to be named Minnie Hoult, is lying at the workhouse infirmary, Cardiff, suffering from a stab in the skull. The woman, who has been an inmate of the infirmary before, is in a. dazed oondition. First she said she had been attacked by an unknown man in Beda-road, and sub- sequently complai-ned she was assaulted somewhere in the Roath neighbourhood. Seen by Detective Kelly shortly after her admittance last night the woman, who is apparently about 38 years of age, declined to make any statement. Dir. W. G. Williams, the police divisional surgeon, attendAi the woman. She said she met a man at the Docks from ont) of the vessels, but she would not divulge either the nalme of the man or his ship. They rode on a tram through the city to Go wb rid ge-road, where they alighted, and proceeded up Beda.- road. Then they quarrelled, and the man pulled out a knife a.nd stabbed her on the sade of the head, inflicting an oblique, incised wound, an inch deep, reaching right down to j the bone of the skull. She told the doctor i she was the wife of a skipper. Inquiries at the Cant.on Police-station elicited the fact that up to midday no one j could be found who had seen Minnie Hoult in the neighbourhood. This notwithstanding that the woman is well known in the dis- trict, as she lived there for some time. The official report from the Roath Police- station, in Clifton-street, is simply to the effect that he woman was found by an officer about nine p.m. lying in Newport- road, suffering from a bleeding wound in the head.

Tyipaldos started that he had intended to surrender in order to justify his action.—Reuter.

YOUNG BEAR ESCAPES I During a performance at the Crouch End Hippodrome last night, a young" bear, about the size of a collie dog, escaped from its cage. The fire curtain was instantly lowered, the orchestra struck up the National Anthem, and moist of the audience letf the buÜcLing without being aware of the cause of the sudden conclusion of the performance- The animal ecc,awd from the building at the rear, and, springing over a gaird-eii fence I five feet high, jumped through a window at the rear of a shop in Middle-lane. The pro- prietress retreated in alarm, her first words at the sight of the bear being, "Look after my parrot." The bear made its way through the house and into the shop, and eventually it found its way to the window, where it upset a number of "Teddy bears" and other toys. It was seen clawing at the window when its trainer, a German, appeared on the scene. He secured the animal, and led it back to the show with a chain.

Balance or a Deposit SWANSEA MAN MAKES A CLAIM FOR 1350 The part hea,rd case of Rees v. Morgans, Hereford (Limited), was resumed at the Gla- morgan Assizes at Cardiff to-day (before Mr. Justice Channel and a jury). The claim was one made by Rees Edmund Rees, Swansea, to recover X350 balance Off a sum of £ 500 deposited with the defendant company. The defendants counter-claimed for zC430 9s. 3d., and it was really the set-off that was being tried by the oourt, judgment having been entered by the High Court for the amount, subject to the counter-claim being- inquired into. Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P., and Mr. Davies Williams (instructed by Mr. A. J. Puntain) were for the plaintiff, a.nd Mr. B. Francis-Williams, K.C., and Mr. Lincoln,Read (instructed by Mr. Rowland Payne) for the defendant company. Mr. Cousins, dra-per, Swansea, again entered the witness-box, and said he purchased the debts from Messrs. Morgans, and out of the three lists of customers given to him he had not taken over debts amounting to ZEIM. In cross-examination witness admitted that he had had an a,dministm,tion order made against him in the county-court, but that was before the negotiations started. He had only got to pay far what he actually col- lected. In witness said the adminis- tration order was made on his own applica- tion, and he hafl arranged to pay 20s. in the X. Mr. Baxter, his employer, refused to take over the debts, and suggesrted tha-t witness should do so. Evidence having been given by Mr. D. J. Dixon, one of the salesmen employed by the defendant company, this concluded the case, and counsel addressed the jury. tP rooeedin g.)

A Tredegar Bust PRESENTED TO MONMOUTH COUNCIL At the Monmouth County Council at New-1 port on Wednesday, Alderman Raffan in the chair, Mr. Winstone asked whether the county council could not act as a centre for preparing and supplying life-saving appa- ratus, which could be sent out to all the oolliery districts of the county. Mr. Isaac Butler said the employers were formulating a scheme for carrying out such work by means of rescue stations. One of them was being built in the neighbourhood of Crumlin.

Bowen, Alderman S. N. Jones, and Alderman Geo. Jones, attended as a portion of tho executive committee otf the Lord Tredegar Monmouthshire Tribute, and asked the council to accept a replica of the marble bust of his lordship, executed by Mr. Goscombe John, for the council-chamber.

TARENI PIT DELUGE. TWO INQUESTS OPENED: LONG ADJOURNMENTS. The inquest on the bodies of Ben Griffiths (17) and D. Edward Rees (17), two of the vic- tims in the Tareni Oolliery disaster, was held at Ystalyfera on Wednesday by Mr. Glyn Price, coroner. Mr. David Randall (of Messrs. Randall, Saunders, and Randall) appeared on behalf of the Miners' Federa- tion After the jury had been sworn, Mr- Thomas Gower (foreman) expressed sympathy with the relatives, and commented on the bravery of the officials and others. There were no officials present. Mr. Randall associated himself with the expression of sympathy. Mr. Evan Griffiths, Clifton-terrace, Ystaly- fera, gave evidence of identification of his son, Benjamin Griffiths. Questioned by Mr. Randall, he stated that when he looked at his son he noticed that the boy had bitten his lips as if in agony. Mr. David Rees, Clifton-terrace, gave evi- dence of identification of his son, Edward Rees. Questioned by Mr. Randall, he stated that the lad's face was marked with scratches. The Coroner adjourned the inquest until December 16, when it will take place at Jerusalem Vestry, Ystalyfera. Mr. Lewis, the manager of the mine, put in an appearance and showed a copy of the plan of the workings to the coroner. The la.tter, however, stated that Mr. Lewis's evi- dence would be taken at the adjourned inquest. At Alltwen, Pontardawe, on Wednesday Mr. Howel Cuthbertson opened an inquiry touching tha deaths of Evan Thomas (18), of Gellyncdd Pontardawe, and Evan Harris (19), of Duffryn-road, Alltwen. The Coroner expressed his deep sympathy with the *bereaved. The loss of life would certainly nave been greater had it not been for the heroism of the officials and some of the workmen. The Coroner told the jury that he had been asked to consent to a joint inquest, but he preferred te hold a separate inquiry for certain reasons of his own. Evidence of identification was then taken, and the inquiry was adjourned until December 20.

I SHOWMANS STORIES DR. BODIE'S PERFORMANCES To-day the action brought in the King's Bench Division (before MT. Justice Darling and a common jury, by Mr. Charles Hesnry Irving, son of a farmer, residing now Keswick, Cumberland, against Mr. Samuel Murphy Bodie. better arnown as Dr. Watford Bodie, the mesmerist and hypnotist, blood- less surgeon, Ac., entered upon its final stage, the evidence for the defendant having been concluded last evening. The plaintiff's case was that he was induced, to pay a premium of £1,000, and enter into a three years' engagement with Dr. Bodie by alleged fraudulent misrepre- sentations, which the defendant denied. The plaintiff alleged that all the defendant's exhibitions on the staJgø were brought a.bout by trickery. Mr. Powell, K.C., addressed the jury on behalf of Dr. Bodie. He im.p-ressed upon the jury the fact that this case was one of the greart-eat importance to DT. Bodie. It was no mere issue to recover money. It was a, case where, he did not say financial, but certainly in other ways, the plaintiff had been aided by the powerful union cf the medical profession. Dr. Bodiie had had to contend against prejudices put before them. He had not met these prejudices, brut the more important issue between plaintiff and Dr. Bodie whether the p-liaintiff had been induced to enter llto the agreement by the false amd fraudulent representations of Dr. Bodie. There was a, prejudice against quacks—those who professed to heal and might be able to heal. but were not members of that profession that entitled them to be registered as medical practitioners. But he appealed to the jury to put aside all prejudice, and deal with the one point at issue, viz., the alleged misrepresentations. He reminded the jury that the plaintiff entered into the bargain knowing the kind of business carried on by Dr. Bodie. The "Bodie Book," from which so many stories had been alluded to by counsel in crocz- examination, was no part of the case, A showman like the plaintiff, continued Mr. Powell, was entitled to spin yarns and entitled to put down things that would attract, so long as they did no harm. Dr. Bodie was not the only man who had said things which were not exact. What about the politician of to-day? His Lordship; We won't try that. (Laugh- ter.) Mr. Powell: What about the men who climb to power on what they call termino- logical inexactitudes, and become for the rest of their lives right honourable? Dr. Bodie's stories were showim, n's stories, and as such it did not matter about their veracity. It was for the plaintiff to prove his case, and counsel submitted that he had failed to do so. (Proceeding.) I YESTERDAY'S EVIDENCE. I Jury Witness a Test of Electricity Explaining the "Cage of Death," the defen- dant said he had not the apparatus, but he did not think it dangerous. There might be danger in the "Cage of Death" if the current were not switched off. It was a test of endu- rance, and that was all he claimed-that all his experiments were scientific. He had divulged to the plaintiff many of his stage secrete On an average he saw about 300 patient.s a week. He claimed to be a hypo- tist, and had demonstrated it before 500 I medical men. His Lordship: Where is the "Cage of Death"? Witness: It is in Glasgow. Mr. Powell: The Cage of Death ie out- side the issues of this case, and had been dragged into it. Mr. Powell applied to his lordship that defendant might give a demonstration as to the current of electricity he could stand, and his lordship acceded, and directed the demonstration to take place in private before the jury and an electrician he would nominate. Mr. Mellor (cross-examining): What is your age?-I was born in 1869, and I was three years with a telephone company, amd then I commenced this business in Great Britain. In a book you publish you eay that you have graduated. Have you ?—No, it is a showman's state-t- lie. A showman's lie. You write you have a dental degree for U.S.A.?—Yes, that s the same showman's privilege. Then it goes on to say you afterwards ertudied in Paris and Vienna. Is that true?- It was an interview by the reporter, and the only answer I have to make is that it is a showman's privilege, recognised by every- body. I have an imagination. and have been to all these countries in my dreams. I M-D." MEANS "MERRY DEVIL." In the "Era" you have after your name "M.D." Does not that represent that you aire a doctor?—No, it simply mean., to the theatrical world "Merry Devil." Defendant added that the publication of this part of his work in 1906 was a rash act on the part of a man very much persecuted. He got his honorary degree from Barrett College, North Carolina, by writing a thesia. He had received three honorary diplomas, and written two theses and a discourse on eloctricity. A dental surgeon of Bradford arranged for the degrees, and he paid noth- ing for them. Defendant added that the whole world now knew that these diplomas were worthless. He gave patients liniment and pills. What kind of pills?—Electric life pills. His Lordship What are in them. Defendant said he would write the ingre- dients down. He did so, and handed it to his lordship with the remark, "Your lordship won't start in opposition?" (Laughter.) Counsel read to the defendant extracts from a book entitled "The Bodie Book," in which the defendant told a story of catching a nigger stealing his cigars, and what he did to him, with the result that the nigger "turned pale." (Laughter.) The defendant admitted that it was fiction, as he had never been to America, but, he added, "It happened to one of my servants in Scotland." -1 DEMONSTRATION TO THE JURY. After the luncheon interval, the jury went to witness in private the defendant receive the volts from his electrio battery. Upon the return of the jury into court, his Lordship said he would call the electrical engineer who was present at the demonstra- tion.by the defendant. Mr. Arthur Stritch, an electrical engineer, said he witnessed what the defendant did in the presence of the jury. The defendant had a 12 volt accumulator, which gave him his supply of electric current. This current he transformed to a higher voltage. The coil defendant used gave 30,000 volts, and this the d-efendont took, as also did witness, but the defenda-nt stood a stronger current than witness. He could not eay that he had seen people take more than defendant, but there was no risk to life. This current was not applied for medical purposes. It was too hard. FljAliN llr r WiSiLED TO BECOME A SROW. MAN. I Mr. John J. George, solicitor, of Macduff, Scotland, and a J.P., said he had acted in this matter for the defendant. The plaintiff had a draft of the agreement, and returned it to witness, duly signed There was no pressure put upon the plaintiff to sign the agreement. Plaintiff said he wished to become a. showman like the defendant. Mr. Powell: From first to last, was any- thing said that he joined Dr. Bodie in order to become a member of the medical profes- sion?—No. Did you see plaintiff afterwards?—Yes, after he had been with Dr. Bodie. He had been to various places with him, and expressed himself as satisfied. Witness added that he advised the plaintiff to well consider the matter. ONE OF "A RING." Mr. John Legg, who had been in the em- ployment of the defendant and been hypno- tised by him, said he was operated upon by a doctor at Aberdeen, Dr. Bodie hypnotising him first. He had been one of "a ring" on the stage in which Dr. Bodie joined, but it was not true to say that there was no elec- tric current. Cross-examined: As far as he knew, he was in a trance at the Aquarium for four weeks. When the Aquarium was closed used you not to come out of it and have nourishment? —Not as far as I knew. Were you thin when you came out?-No; not particularly. (Laughter.) Mr. Robert Calvert, stage manager of the defendant, said he knew all about the work- ing of defendant's apparatus. Mrs. Kate Pettit, of Watthamstow, said her little boy had attended hospital as an in- patient for three months. His legs were deformed, and the hospital doctor said he was incurable. She took him to Dr. Bodie, who put his legs right, and he could now walk perfectly. Several witnesses were called, who testified to the good they had receivd from the defendant. One witness raid that she danced off the stage after the doctor had cured her, and she would dance out of court if counsel liked. "The doctor," exc&sixnad witness, was worth his weight in gold for having raised her from a cripple to one who ootud walk. This concluded the defeadafnfa oasev- and t itSMMTNuarsoA.

EARLY IN JANUARY DATE OF GENERAL ELECTION The Qaibdarot has decided to go to the country early in January. An announcement to this effect was made by Mr. J. A. Pease, the Chief Liberal Whip, last night. His speech seems to make the election contingent on the Lords rejecting the 'Budget. But his insistence on the date as "early in Jamoary" points to a definite decision on the part of the Ministry to dis- solve Parliament in any event as soon as the new electoral register comes into force.

I Drowned in a Bath I SAD END OF A CROCER'S WIFE MTB. Annie Davies <46), wife of John Thomas Davies, grocer, of 106, Donald-street, Roath, Cardiff, whose saJd death was reported in earlier editions, is stated to have told her son Percival about 10.30 last night that she was about to have a bath before retiring to rest. She went upstairs for the purpose, and at 12.30 Percival went up also, seeing the light full on in the bathroom, and he was horrified to find his mother lying at the bottom of the bath, apparently having succumbed to drowning. The la-a cailed his father, who got out of bed and summoned Dr. Robinson, who pro- nounced life to be extinct.

THE WEALTHIEST BACHELOR 1 Lord Howard de Walden is the latest to be seized with the aviation fever, and he pro- poses shortly to acquire one of the most noted makes of aeroplanes, and to carry out an extensive series of flights with it. He is the ground landlord of the whole of the Portland-place Estate in London, and hasthb reputation of being our richest bachelor. Upon more than one occasion it has been rumoured that he was on the verge of matri- mony, but these reports have always turned out to be entirely correct. A shot time ago a "pushful" journalist managed to gain an interview lwdth him and asked him point blank why he did not get married. Lord Howard gait quiet for a moment, and then sa-id with crushing emphasis, "I remain single for the same .reason that you will always remain impertinent, because Nature destines it.

t "I MARRIED THE OTHER." I I HUSBAND'S STARTLING SATE-I MENT IN CARDIFF CAS&I Matrimonial revelations were made at Car- diff Police-court on Wednesday in the cose in which Eliza Storer, of Ethel-street, sum- moned her husband for desertion. Mr. Sydney Jenkins defended. Complainant said she had been married 33 years, and the youngest of her children was twenty. Her husband, she said, had deserted her ten years ago, and she had spent five years in Bristol Workhouse. When he deserted her he told her he wished he could kill her, and she was out for three nights. He had another woman with him at the time witness was "kicked out," and he had mar- ried her. When witness was in Bristol Work- house he was living with a different woman. About eighteen months ago defendant found witness out at Penrhiwceiber, and gave her 5s, and two bottles of beer. He then told her that if she kept out of Cardiff he would do all he could for her, but she came to Cardiff and went into the workhouse. By Mr. Jenkins: She had been to Ponty- pridd and Bridgend, and had acted as house- keeper for a man named Belcher in Garden- cottages, Bridgend. Mr. Jenkins: How many lodgers did you have ?—Four. And how many rooms?—Four, but I slept on the sofa. Since when have yon given up the drink?- A long time. I can't get money to drink. And is that the reason why you gave up drinking?- Yee. His Worship said there had clearly been desertion. Defendant: I married the other woman, and a.m proud of it. I married her in the good faith that this one was dead. Mr. Milner Jones: You evidently don't know the seriousness of the words you use. Mr. Sydney Jenkins said defendant had tavke" n the position very much to heart, so much, indeed, that in June last he was before the court for attempting suicide, but having regturd to his worship's hint, he would submit to an order. Mr. Milner Jones then made an order of 6s per week. Defendant: Yon can arrest me at once.

It appeaiTs that the girl was sent to do as son i to do some shopping, a.nd as she did not return search parties went to look for her. They were out all nght, but faled to find any trace of the grl or the baby.

!HOW OUR KING MET QUEEN In a romantic fashion did King Edward become acquainted with his future Queen, 3nd the story is a reliable one. The la.te Princess Mary of Teck had m-at her young cousin, Princess Alix of Denmark, when on a visi Rumpenheim. She was BO charming to behold and know that a appy thought possessed the Princess Mary. She took home with her to En gland a photograph of the young girl i9 her plain white frock and hat, a piece of brack velvet tied round her throat a,nd a rose in her bodice, and entrusted it to a crony of the Prince of Wales. The latter, by  way, at that time, by Queen Victoria a.M prf ri.nce Albert's d?ire. had already been intrüducœ to a, German Princess with a view of negotiations matrimonial to follow. The friend artfully put te carte de visite in the Prinee's way. At once his Royal Highness tell into the trap. "What a lovely girl!" lie said. Who is she?" The friend laughed, and -would not tell. The Prince then asked tor the photograph to keep, a.nd put it into his pocket. Later he met the Princess, when, aa it chanced, both were inspecting Worms Cathedral. It was the English IIed-r-Appa- rent s first sight of her. He vowed that the photograph did not do her justioe-and nothing more was ever heard from that day of the German Empress—"The Gentle- woman.

SOMETHING ABOUTOUR DUKES Of the dulmdoins that exist to-day, the Dukedom of Norfolk is the oldest and the Dufaxtam of Fife the youngest. The Duke of Nc-rfolk has the most tragic family history. The Duke of Westminster is the richest duke (although the Duke of Sutherland owns the most land), and the Duke of St. Alban's the poorest. Four of the dukes are of the blDod royal—Richmond, Grafton, St. Alban's, and Bucc'l-euC"h-and are, therefore, Stuarts. Two living dukes have Royal wives. Eleven of the 27 have had an ancestor who was beheaded, and one had one who was hanged, Two dukcs-o-f Argyll and Hamilton—are bath descended from the most beautiful woman of her day-Elimbeth Gunning. The duke who has the most remarkable coat of arms is the Duke of Leinster. Three of dukes have ma,rri,ed Amerioan heiresses, and one—his Grace of Sutherland—is the husband of the most beautiful 'W'Oman of her day.- Strand Magazine."

PROFIT IN RAT SKINS The common ra.t, attacked on health grounds, is winning its way as an animal of commercial value. Last year's trade in rat skins in Great Britain alone amounted to £ 50,000, and cuiynlics are so largely sought by furriers and others that it is proposed to start a business in C,abeutta for the securing and preparation of the skins of the brown rat to be 118'00, among a variety of purposes, in the banding of books and the making of puTv-es gloves, and various articles for women's use and wear.

HALF-A-DOZEN SWEETHEARTS I "Although a married man with a family, he has recently been keeping company with six young women, to four of whom he was engaged to be married." This reference was made at Birkenhead yesterday to Thomas John Jones (30), who presented a smart appearance. He was charged with having stolen £ 8 28., a large quantity of tea, and also with having embezzled money beJon?? to Mr. John Pratt, grocer. Jon<J de?mp? with the money, and Detectives Iball and Hughes made inquiries.

The Bench considered the case a bad one and sent the prisoner to gaol for two ni onths, with hard labour.

DIED OF STARVATION I Boulton Molineaus (56), formerly a comSnanv secretary, but latterly of no home or oecu- patoin, fell dead while walking in Half Moon-lane, Dulwich. He had had to sleen out of doors, and depended for food upon bread given him by other people. He died of starvtion and exposure, and the jury at the inquest yesterday returned a verdict accordingly.

POWER OF THE BATTLE HYMN I From the days of the Skalds, whose hoarse lays stirred the blood of our Norse ancestors with thoughts of conflicts, the most valorous deeds in the world's history have, in no small measure, been inspired by the power of the battle-hymn to sustain in the human heart the spirit of brave and strenuous action o- of religious fervour. The British Army has too long been divorced from this splendid impulse, and the efforts which are now being directed towards its restoration deserve the most earnest welcome. The war-son 3 <>• or battle-hymn is essentially sentiment in action, and we shall be as foolish to ignore its importance as to refuse to recognise one of the forces of mature.—"The Graphic."

SUICIDE IN A PARK I A well-dresed man, having the appearance of a foreigner, oornihitted suicide by shoot- ing himself wit ha revolver in St. James's Park last evening.

I Dancer in the Dock POSTMAN MISTAKEN FOR A POLICEMAN Another remand was ordered at West London yesterday in the case in which Beatrice King, aged 21, an acrobatic dancer, is accused of shooting Alfred Talbois, a South African. A postman, named Fowle, who was in Sin- clair Gardens on the night of the occur- rence, said on looking in the direction from which he heard a shot he saw a man run- ning towards Richmond-road and the woman King standing on the steps of a house, hold- ing a revolver in ,her hand. Her hand was raised, but it was not pointing exactly in the direction of the man when the witness went up to her. She evidently mistook him a policeman, and handed him the revolver with tile remark, "Take it officer; I have killed him." She then fell into a half-swoon. After- wards she kept exclaiming, ''I've killed him! I've killed him!" The house physician at West London Hospital said Talbois when admitted was suffering from a bullet wound on the left side of the chest. Two or three days later a bullet was extracted from his back, just under the skin. The Magistrate: It almost penetrated the body ?—Yes, almost. The wound was an exceedingly dangerous one, but the man would, the doctor thought, be able to give evidence in ten days or a fortnight.

I Yesterday's Football I I SHOP ASSISTANTS' DERBY I I Whartons v. Hayes. I I Whartons G. T. P'ts. I j Whartons 0 2 6 Hayes 0 0 0 The meeting of the Whartons and Hayes is recognised as the" Cardiff Shoppers Derby," and with the keenest of friendly rivalry existing between the teams, the me.t-c.h is regarded with more than ordinary interest. The teams this year are in the new Cardilf Wednesday Rugby League, and Wednesday's match was in connection witn the league. The teams fielded at three o clocls on the Cardiff Arms Park, which had been leDit for the ()O()a$ion. Beatty started for the Whartons from the Racquet Court end and a long kick in reply saw play settle down in the Whartons Z5. A rush by the Hayes forwards, led by W. A. Jones, carried the ball over the line, but Pound saved in the nick of time. The Hayes hod much the better of the opening play, and kept the Whartons penned in their own until Tucker brougnt relief with a Lick beyond the centre line. Following this, Muller received from the heels of his for. wards and threw out a long pass to Dent, who ran down, with Pawley in attendance. Faced by Edwards, he transferred to Paw lev, who scored, but the kick taken at an easy angle, failed. On the 're-start the Hayes again carried play near their opponents line, and a dangerous movement was checked by Reed intercepting and running to haH- way, where he was pushed into touch by Mathias. At the interval the Whartons retained their lead of three points. Directly on the re-start the Whartons looked like adding to their score througha lovely passing movement, but Pawley slipped in rounding Edwards, and was brought down from behind. Adams kicked down finely, and the Hayes took up the attaek but their play lacked nnish and the Whartons cleared theIr lines with a forward rush, which Edwards failed to stop, Pawley picked up, but was brought down from behind right in front of the posts. From the succeeding scrum Harris received, and fed Reed, who ran over in the corner. The kick at goal failed. Undaunted by the second reverse, the Hayes pressed hotly at the kick-out, and Pound saved a dangerous rush by turning the ball into touch a yard from the line. The game was now being strenuously con- tested, and fully half-a-dozen scrams were held on the Whartons' line before Dent brougnt much-needed relief with a kick to the 25 flag. The Haycs returned to the attack, but Jones fumbling. Tucker gathered, and raced half the length of the field when Edwards brought him low with a grand tackle. Harris was playing a great game at the base of the scrum, but his three-quarters were weak, and many good chances went astray. Dent ran strongly, but Pawley was tackled in posses- sion, and Adams, with a flying kick, removed play to mid-field. The Whartons were now having all the play, and the Hayes defence was taxed to its utmost to keep them out. Dent made his mark, and Pawley tried a long drop at goal. hut his kick went wide, and rolled over the dead ball line A dribble down t.he field by the Kayes forwards carried the ball over the line, but Pound saved by kicking dead.

I AIR RIFLE SHOOTING Cardiff and District League; To-night's Matches and Forecasts I (By "BULL'S EYE. "). Th« principal match of the evening in the Cardiff and District League is the meeting of the Adelphi and Tudor on ttie former range. The A'6 have always been a power in the shooting world, where this year the Tudor are allowing themselves capable of holding their own with the best. They are much stronger on their own range, and though I Hilly expect them to do well on the Ad el phi range, my vote goes to the home team Oil account of that advantage. Splott Con- servative at hoiue are a hard team to oeat, and uieir meeting with the, Duke of lork should be productive of a good contest. If the Tories are at full strength I fancy their chance. In other matches, the Albert at home will win from the Engineer, and. Barry Con- seavative will gain the points from the aPier. The Don are too trQ1Jg for the); ew Park Liberal, but the 1 encounted between the Coldstream and Caerphilly should he a close one. i fancy the former. MEKTHVK AND DISTlilCT LEAGUE.
