Chrisman was passing as a Kentucky heiress. This part of the evidence was in connection with her counter claim for $2,500 due to her tor al'cfged services performed for Chrisman. Chrisman's attorneys made rigorous assaults against Peggy's contentions that her services were of fact arther than fancy. Gus Bolton and Dr. E. E. Sample, who have been as sociated with Chrisman in the oil promotion - business, declared that Peggy did not have anything, to do with the Kentucky development company, as-laimed. Lirara Nehr bas, public stenographer at the Castle hotel, testified that she had performed much wdVk for Chrisman, which, tended Ho disprove Peirev's 'testimony that she did ny consid erable amount' of typewriting work. 1 here was much testimony to upset rggys statements that she was connected witlwn oil development company being promoted by hris- man and others.

"Thai's none of your business and has nothing to do with this case," Peggy sharply replied. "Why did you have your mail sent to Sioux City as Peggy Gilchrist?" - "Because Jr. Chrisman introduced m as Peggy Gikhrist." Anticipated Marriage. "Did you tell Mr. Chrisman that you did not want Raymond Bolonge to know that yoa were married, be cause you were engaged to Bolonge and because he had bought furni ture and you were to have been mar ried to him on last Christmas day?" "Np, I did not, but I can't help some man buying a house full of furniture because he may anticipate marriage." ( , . , "Didn't Christian tell you that you were walking into trouble?" "No." "Didn't you go into Mr. Chris man's room when -he' was sick and you were crying and you told him that Jimmy had-een a brute and had spent your money?'! r "Not as blase as that." ' . "What did you say?" 'iThat vJimmy had been indis creet. v "On that occasion, when Mr. Chrisman ws ill, didn't you go to his. dresser and" take $20?" "I did not." "Then I am sorry for your lapse of memory." ' "And Iam sorry for your ungen tlemanliness." "Didn't 'you and Jimmy sit on the edge of, Mr. Chrisman's bed on Jan uary 4 and you said that you and Jimmy had made up?" Chrisman Qffers Backing. "Daddy Ghrisman tola me that lie would back me for $10,000 and that if Jimmy was not good to me he would take care of me himself." "Have you said anything of a threatening nature to Mr. Chris man since this action was started?" "Since he has taken all of my clothes away. I haven't spoken to him except to say 'How do you do,', When I saw him carrying flowers to a woman." "Did you ever say to Chrisman that you had killed a man?" ''No, but before we left Billings for Kentucky I showed him a horse whip and said that if he ever in sulted me I would horsewhip him, and I told him that I had horse whipped a man once." "Didn'Uyou' and Marie Casey go to Chrisman on the night of the at tachment of your things?" "Yes, and I told him that he should crawl through a knot-hole, and he only Maid on the bed and grunted." Mr. Bolton and Dr. Sample tes tified that they had never bard Peggy introduced lby Chrisman as a, Kentucky heiress, or as the mas cot. - ' Had No Connection. ' "I know thatshe had no irrterfcsf in the company, testified the dflc tor, referring to the Kentucky De velopment company with which Peggy claimed to have had promi nent connections. , Mr. Bolton declared that Peg.tfy was introduced to him by Chris man as the owner of the Miracle oil land lease in Kentucky. Peggy ex plained that the Miracle oil well was located in a cemetery. Peggy reiterated her former tes1 timony that Chrisman' coached her to represent that certain Kentucky foil wells produced IS to 20 barrels a day, instead of 3 to 5 barrels; also that she fixed up oil land maps with rivers and trees and oil wells to make a showing on paper. During the afternoon Judge Holmes suppressed an incipient dis pute between Peggy and Chrisman. Many cross words were ex changed yesterday morning in Judge Holmes' division of municipal court between reggy sellers and oppos ing lawyers, William Whittaker and George Mertens. 'Several times Peggy pointed her finger at Whittaker and declared that his questions wet insulting, evasive and everything like that. Whittaker threatened to have the diminutive 19-year-old bride cited for contempt of court. - Whittaker and Mertens clashed several times. "If. I was as sarcastic as you I would quit,", exclaimed Whittaker. "Don't get excited," retorted Mertens.

The play, which was adapted for the -films from the stage success 'has been seen by thousands of people and was chosen byNthe production company to be brought out another years because the public liked it. Sh,irley Mason, the vivacious comedian, has scored a distinct hit by- her delightful work in her new picture,' "The x Rescuing Angel," Sowing, at the Strand. This picture ads a lting list of successes in which Miss Mason has starred. Her work in "Goodbye, Bill!" in-which she co-starred with Ernest Truex, will be recalled by sct&n patrons. In her latest production, Miss Mason has an excellent part in an excellent adaptation of the play of the same name, which was written by Clare Kummer. In the role of Angela, the charming and winsome daughter of a bankrupt, Miss Masptj, is afforded an excellent 'opportunity to display her talents as a screen comedian. Nor is she lacking in the power to successfully and force fully portray the character from an emotional standpoint. ..There's i desperate commercial battle pictured at -the Sun theater this week.

It is a charming picture based(upon a famous Broad way success and affords Miss Clark a delightful role of which she makes the most. The support , is most praiseworthy, the leading man be ing Richard Barthelmess, a talented screen player. What is believed to be one of the. most powerful casts assembled in many months for a motion picture has . been selected to appear in the Paramount-Artcraft special, adapted from Hall Caine's novel of the same name, "The Woman Thou Gavest Me," to make which Hugh Ford has journeyed to California.

Mr. Daniels listened with a merry twinkle in his eye, and then removed the hide from the youngster with the most charm ing grace in the world. But being well, being what he is the victim did not realize that he, had been "horseplayed" himself.
