The Drama at the Law,
When the first pale shrtds of dawn

were hailed by the day's shrill whistles,
a thin trickle of humanity deflected
from the main current of hurrying work

shadow of the grim buildings where the
law stages so many tragedies.
Hourly the nnols grew larger. Soon

where Mary Page was battling for her

whelming evidence was filled with the
greatest crowd It had ever known.

of the people outside, and In spite of

Funeral services will be held from

HUBBY EATS ALL CHOPS
FRIEND WIFE MAKES WAR
Harry and Ora Fleming, residing at
Tenth and Davenport streets, engaged In
a little altercation Sunday afternoon be
cause Henry insisted on eating six pork
chops In rapid succession, thetTby leaving
Ora nary a chop.
Ora hit Harry In the right eye with a
cup of hot coffee, containing three heap
ing teaspoonfula of brown sugar. At this
Harry wiped the cup from his counte
nance and bit Ora on the left forefinger.
Both were given their freedom In police

heart sank. He was too good a lawyer
not to realise how Important a factor
publlo sentiment, was.
He had felt ever since the coroner'a
Inquest that there had been a ' note
struck, not only In the newspapers, but
by the public Itself, that declared Mary
guilty. ' There had even been a subtle
suggestion that her plea of "iot guilty"
was no more than a mere formality.
He Wondered Irritably why It was that
this "curbstone Jury," as he termed ft
contemptuously to himself, oould not real
ise that Mary would not have ruined her
career in such a fashion,' however much
she had loathed Pollock, and whatever
the provocation to kill htm. It was Incon
ceivable that a' girl who had reached
er's lap. and the elder woman waa pray
ing aloud:
"And Ood give us strength to go
through tills dsy, and grant Thy mighty
Justice to my little girl.'"
echoed
ctreas
could hae given to that simple prayer
the poignancy that a great faith and a
great sorrow gave It.
It was In Iingdon's eyes alone that
there were tears, for both women were
bravely smiling when they greeted lilm,
and not even the ordeal of going Into
court, not even the breathlesa, terrifying
moment when she stepped across the
thresrieM and ssw that thronged room
full of strangers, caused that serenely
simple cslm to forsake Mary Page.
Thn sight of her brought the ciowd of
spectators surging suddenly to their feet
with a whispering gssp of excitement or
perhaps of expectancy, but at the first
rap of thn Judge's gavel they subside
with a satisfied settling bark into their
chairs like that of a first-night audience
when the curtain rolls up.
There have been murderers placed on
trial who have never given any outward
evidence of their gu'lt while they Were In
court; others, fslsely sceused, who have
shuddered under the shame and Infamy
of their terrible position, and acted, at
momenta, as though the crime were In
deed upon their heads. But the serenity
of Mary was sublimated Into something
higher than endurance and greater than
mere patience, and If she were guilty then
she was the most amazing actress In the
world thla was the thought that flashed
through the minds of those who watched
her, as she went quietly forward and
took her place In the court room, the
cynosure of all eyes, hostile, critical,
curious and sympathetic. Tet to all of
them she was a riddle, a wonderful riddle,
with Mir. I-snct'on here, and a stoutbih
' man. Mr. Ians(lon didn't go In to tha
Itianu'et, but went bock doanstslrs and
finally took a chair quite nenr to mine.

'Was the ecresm first or the shot?"

It ts only a question of time when these

It would seem to me that Omaha Is
advanced enough and equipped with well-

city. In fact, should have enough means
to Insure tha development of a sound
publlo health department covering every j
activity ot life, particularly the schools.
"I am convinced by long experience In
