SHOWS POECH TO A FRIEND
Mrs. Edith Hlcka, who Is suing Al
bert A. Clark, a Council Bluffs capi
talist, for $60,000 damages on
ground! that he forcibly kissed her,
appeared In Judge Leslie's district
court wearing a wide black Tell In
addition to the black suit and hat
which has been her garb during the
trial.
She wore the veil, she declared, to pre
vent photographers from securing a like
ness of her and on account of the no
toriety which she has received. She la a
brunette. Is XI years of age and weighed
at the time of the alleged attack by Mr.
Clark, she testified, only ninety-eight
pounds.
"1 do not want my picture taken " she
declsred. "I do not wsnt It In the news
papers, snd I do not like to hare rcPl
stare at me."
Frequent attempts of photographers to
secure a likeness which plainly ahows her
features have failed. She keeps a nand-kt-tchlef
before her face in walking to
and from the court house and In the
court room is shielded by those who' are
associated with her.
Hsplalaa Her Testlmoar
Mrs. Hlcka waa recalled to the witness
stsnd during the morning session of court
for a short period, during which she
explained seversl minor details of her
former testimony.
Charles Ounther, who lived at 111 Cap
itol avenue In April. MS, testified that .
two years ago aha told him that the al
leged kiss by Mr. Clark occurred on Sun
day, April SO. rather than on Monday,
Immediately following.
Mr. Ounther testified that he accom
panied Mrs. Hicks to Mr. Clark's home
In Council Bluffs on Sundsy, and that
she showed him the sleeping porch on
the second floor, where the kiss Is al
leged to have taken place while the de
fendant waa attempting to embrace her.
The defense by this testimony sought
to Impeach Mrs. Hicks' testimony con
cerning Mr. Clark's alleged attack on
her on Monday. It Is understood that
the defense will attempt to refute many
of her statements concerning the alleged
attack on her at the time the kiss Is
asserted to have been Imparted to her
by Mr. Clark.
Captain H. H. Kline of the Salvation
Army has returned from Chicago, where
he went Friday to confer with heads of
the Salvation Army organisation. Mrs.
Kline, who had been visiting her mother
there for the Isst two weeks, returned
with the captain.
"Chicago has been a regular paradise
for the hobo during the winter," declared
Kline. "I thoroughly believe that mors
harm was accomplished by the' charities
thsn good. The city has been overrun
with the unemployed who lived during
the cold weather on the help that the
benevolent Institutions gave them."
Captain Kline further stated that with
ths advent of the new administration the
bums were driven out of town and those
who honestly desired work were being
furnished with employment
