She admitted that* Henderson had had trouble In connection with the rohbety of the M. E. Booth store in Kansas City, Kan., twd^ or three years ago'. She said they were mar ried there four years ago. He did not return all night, and she worried for fear that something might have happened to him. When he did not come back, she said, she went downtown about 10 a. m. with her 2 year-old daughter, Virginia, to see if she could find him. She ate break fast at a drug store, she said, and then bought a paper. Reading it, she thought the slain bandit might be her husband, and went to the mortuary to see the body.

Attorney Denies Forbes" Guilt in Veterans Bureau ■ ■ "■ Claim* Made by Prowculion Impossible of Fulfillment, He Says in Address to Jury. B.r AiMrlalrd Press. Chicago, Nov. 28.—The history of veterans' hospital project* at Chilll cothe, O.: American I.ake, 'Wash., and I.lvermore, Cal., were reviewed by counsel for Charles R. Forbes In com pleting bis address to the federal court jury which will try Forbes and ,T. W. Thompson on charges of de frauding the American government on these hospital contracts. Col. James 8. Easby-Smlth, chief rounsel for Forbes, referred to many of the alleged overt acts In the gov ernment indictment as entirely natur al, especially his conference with con tractors. Advance notice of plans and specifications for these hospitals to any favored contractor was physical ly Impossible, Col. Kasby-Smith de clared, because of the nature of the work in preparing these drawings. The proposed hospital at Liberty, X. Y., which was abandoned later in favor of the one at Tupper I.ake, in the Adirondack* was changed at the suggestion of Lieutenant Miller, a naval engineer, Colonel Easby-Smlth declared. That Thompson and Black code used in telegram* with the Hurley Mason company of Seattle in refer ence to contracts was entirely un known to Forbes, his counsel said. At the time of the Pacific coast trip, long before Forbes' resignation began to be discussed in Washing ton, Colonel Forbes urged President Harding to allow- him to resign be cause of the heavy burden, his counsel said. "We expect to show that this entire ease is based upon a clearly con structed fabrication by Elias H. Mortimer,’1 Colonel Easby-Smlth said. Forbes discovered such frauds when he took over the veterans' bureau, his rounsel said, as the fill-' ing of veterans' teeth with brass in stead of gold by grafting dentists and vocational training school to teach ex service men how to become sword swallowers."

Vera Hagen next took the stand and testified that *he, her eiiter Vesper, her mother and a friend, had stopped in front of a reaturent In Bedford on tha evening In ques tion just as another car drove up. Pharmacist Testifies. Hough got out cf this machine, Miss Hagen said, entered the reo turant and returned in a few mo ments with two cups. E. K. Moore, proprietor of the res turant, told of having served a man, later Identified ax Hough, with two cups of coffee for which he was not paid. Moore said that a girl was with the man and waited in the car while Hough entered the resturant. The last two witnesses were the only ones, this afternoon, to testify to having seen Lillian McKenney with Hough. W. J. Peters, dean of the college oT pharmacy at the state university, waa the center of an Attack by the defense. He was called on to tell of his findings when he examined the heart and stomach of Lillian 'Mc Kenney for traces of poison. The defense attempted to have his testimony stricken from the records but was unsuccessful. He said that no traces of poison were found. Following the testimony of Ppters the defense demanded of the court that eome evidence of where Lillian McKenney was killed be introduced. “When and where was this girl killed?” Richard Organ shouted at the state's attorneys. "That will be shown tomorrow,” he was answered. "We can and will offer teatimony to prove that Lillian McKenney was killed n»ar Bedford and that her body was then taken to the bridge 10 milea west of town, where it was found. "The beads which Lillian McKen ney always wore about her neck were found two miles south of Bedford. There were other evidences where these beads were found. They were found near the place whre the car was eventually abandoned." Judge Homer A. Fuller ordered that hereafter no one will be allowed , in the courtroom who cannot find a seat. He had ruled earlier that no one under 21 could listen to the trial. Evidence taken earlier in the day had been aimed directly at Hough's alibi. Hough's story is that he left the girl at Clarinda and drove to Bed- ( ford and that he did not see her after that. Frank t'ampbel! of Owasa, Ta , a , state liquor officer, testified that he , and Deputy Sheriff Paul Parrish were , driving back from Clarinda to Bed- , ford on the night in question, and , that they saw a car right ahead of them. He noted the license number. , which was a Nebraska one. and the same as was later shown to be on , the car driven by Hough. La Follette and Brookhart Read f Out bv Regular?

Only me of the four senators named In tha Reed resolution, Ladd of North Da kota, was present. Senators u Fol ette and Brookhart are absent from SVashington. while Senator Frazier re nained at his home here. As a rule, lone of the three attends party gatb- h (rings. A record vote was not taken on the Reed resolution. Senators said there .vas a scattering of “nays'’ when the luestion on the adoption of the reso. ution was put, but estimates varied rrom three to a half dozen or more. It was learned, however, that aevera 1 >f those present besides the three who >poke in opposition, disapproved of he action tak»n. Those senators who have been daced formally In positions of leader ‘hip. had hoped to avoid the La Fob ette issue at the conference, which „ vas called for the purpose of electing i leader to succeed the late Senator i^odge. They had publicly predicted i harmonious and short session, but hey reckoned without the view* of ither senators who returned to Wash ngto only yesterday and today. Kdge Launches Tight. When the name of Senator La Fol ette was reached on the roll call, o develop whether there was a luorum. Senator Edge of New Jersey aunched a fight on the conference nembership of the Wisconsin sena or. He finally was prevailed upon o defer the matter until after the lection of the party leader and the tiling of other vacancies caused by he subsequent elevation of Senator lurtis of Kansas to the post so long ield by Senator Lodge. After the conference had wound up he business for which Itvwas called, lenator Edge resumed his demand hat Senator Ia Follette be excluded "N rom conference membership. Mean w ,'hile, there had been private dis ussions of the whole subject strong mall groups of senators, and Senator leed came forward with his resolu ion, excluding not only Senator Ia 'ollette, but Senators Ladd, Frazier nd Brookhart. as well. ur .wiop. Campbell identified a picture of Lil lian MrKenney as resembling the girl he saw by the car. Mrs. Pierson Morris identified the defendant as the man who stopped at the farm that night for gasoline.

Senator Harreld of Oklahoma op posed the addition of the three names, declaring it was a bad precedent to undertake to read out of the party senators who had opposed party can didates He eald he had opposed some republican candidates in the past and probably would vote against others in the future. Senator Cummins, president pro tempore, and Howell, a former na tional committeeman from Nebraska, voiced their disapproval of the whole procedure. Senator Cummins pointed to his own action in bolting the party in 1012 to follow Theodore Roosevelt as the bull moose candidate, and re called there had been no such action then by the senate republican con ference *s now proposed. 9- MEN TRAPPED IN MINE FLOOD i Swinwt, England, Nov. —Nine miner* were believed to be trapped beyond hope of recovery In the flood ed mine in the Penlan colliery.
