Orange Pekoe Blend «El |*8 Æk m em «ni .L WITNESS CHAIR BY REITA WEIMAN SYNOPSIS Stanley Whittaker i» found dead in his office one morning. In, spite of apparent suicide, his partner Julian Trent is accused of his murder. The Teller of the story, once a newspaper woman, is a guest of the Judge at the trial. She is specially interested in the testimony <if Trent's ex-wi£e. Trent's jealousy had been roused by Whittaker’s attentions to her. She has a hard time under examination by Trent’s counsel,! Max Conrick, who accuses her of marrying Trent just to save Whittaker from his wife’s jealousy-.. “1 married Trent because I wanted to,” she says. Max Conrick extracted a second envelope from the packet that hé held in his hand. heard she admitted her return to Whittaker. “Was this before or after his wife’s death three years ago?” “After.” “At the same time, did you con- tinue to live with Mr. Trent as his wife?” “Yes.” “So that when Mr. Whittaker and Mr. Trent resigned from the Contin- ental Broadcasting Company and went into business together, you were the mistress of your husband’s partner,” “Yes.” “As far as you know then, Mr. Trent had not the slightest suspicion of your affair with Whittaker?” '“No-o,” she stammered hastily. “I don’t think he knew.” “Here we have your reason!,” he said holding it up, “set forth in! your own handwriting. From Driftwood Lodge under date of July 20th, in answer to a letter from Mr. Whit- takerâ€"” Constance Trent sprang up. “1 can’t stand anymore. Let me go.” “Sorry. Please sit down.” Max Conriek’s reply held an ironic note of apology. Then as she leaned back with eyes closed he waited fully a minute before he continued: ?Mrs/ Trent, do you admit that of your own free will you deliberately married Mr. Trent in order that Stanley Whit- taker might escape the rrandal of a New York divorce?” “Yes.” j'. “After your marriage did yoju re- sume relations with Mr. 'Whittaker?” “!" can’t answer.” “You mean you won’t.” Over the witness’s silence, Conrick addressed the Bench: “If it please your Honor, may the witness be instructed! that refusal to answer can be construed as contempt of court?” The lady was instructed by Judge McKenzie, not without an underlying hint of regret, that she must answer. So low voiced as to be scarcely WOMEN WHO '.'SUFFER WOMEN who suffer in si- lence often pay a double penalty for wearing this gag of unselfishness or silly pride. Pain- ful periods are nature’s . warning that something is wrong and needs immediate attention. Growing girls as well as women often are sufferers from female irregularities. They find Dr. Pierce’s Favor- ite Prescription a dependable tonic. Read what Mrs. E. Etheridge, Gleichen, Alta., said: “In my opinion there is no better medicine for women and girls than; Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Before I fin- ished taking one bottle of the 'Prescription* I noted its value, for painful periods. I can always depend upon the 'Prescription* to give relief.’* Buy of your druggist now. Character Discredited “So, Mrs. Trent, recalling your ear- lier testimony, you ask the Court and this jury of intelligent men to believe that although your husband had not the slightest suspicion that his wife and his partner were deceiv- ing hint, he flew into violent rages of jealousy?” “1 can’t remember any more,” Con- stance Trent murmured. “That will be all,” came curtly. Having: successfully! discredited her character arid her attempt to provide a motive for the killing, Conrick re- turned to the counsel table. , The multitude; .in the courtroom breathed normally again. We all thought this particular scene of the show was finished. But not yet. Prosocutor Peterson requested the Court’s consent to a few additional questions. “Just, a minute, Mvs. Trent, Did your husband ever discover your rela- tions with Mr. Whittaker?” “Yes.” “When ?” “I told him everything last spring when 1 asked for a divorce.” “That will do.” As Constance Trent left the stand, the shadow of a smile played round Mr. Peterson’s smug mouth. That final bit of testimony shot to pieces Gohrick’s triumph over the woman. Two cryptic questions and the Prose- cutor definitely established revenge as a motive for the crime. Only last spring Trent had found out the truth, the farce of his marriage, the duplicity of his wife and his partner. And "six months later Whittaker was killed. That afternoon while the seventh witness, Professor Frederick Glenn, lecturer on music, composer, radio performer, told the court that from three to four p.m. on October seven- teenth he had been with Mr. Whit- taker who seemed in the best of Health and spirits, I drifted Into speculation about Constance Trent. She hated the man she had vietim- Lister. to yH^Ev Husband Leaves Twelve Wills Those Extra Blouses â€" Give Unlimited Look to Wardrobe Cost Very Little To Sew 2-WAY IEL8EF FOR THE MISERY IF Widow Had i<> Journey to Court To Untangle Estate Mr. Justice Langton, in the probate court, approved a settlement of the action in which a man who left £25,- 000 made a dozen willsâ€"four in suc- cession to the same effect. Thomas Oswald Saunders died, aged 49, at Hendon, England, in March, 1936. His executors, Harry Collison and Basil Ashby Saunders, set lip a will of 1935. The widow, Mrs. Margaret Eileen Pennefatber Saunders, of Dulverton Mansions, Gray’s Inn road, London, set up a will of 1933, leaving all prop- erty. to her, and alleged that from 1933 her husband suffered from gen- eral paralysis of the Insane and, from 1931, from chronic alcoholism. John Morris, K.C. (for the execu- tors), before handing in agreed terms for settlement, said he had the evi- dence of three doctors still to call who would say they saw no symptom Of general paralysis of the insane. The executors had been actuated by no vindictiveness to Mrs. Saunders, but by the wish to clear her husband’s name. In Accord With Canada Colonel Deneys Reitz (Minister of Agriculture) referred in a speech at Victoria West to the recent address given by Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor General of ‘Canada, in which he de- clared that Canada must control her own foreign policy uninfluenced by either Great Britain or the United States. Colonel Heitz expressed his com- plete agreement with this statement and said that South Africa was in the same position as Canada. She, too, controlled her own destiny, and in any international crisis it would be for South Africa to decide her policy with- out outside influence. ized. No doubt of that. She wanted his death. That, too, was certain. She was vindictive to the point of swearing; away his life without a quiver of shame for her part in the catastrophe. She believed him, guilty and meant, him to pay the penalty. Trent sat through Professor Glenn’s testimony as- if he did not hear a word. Keeping his gaze on the counsel table,, his fingers creased and opened, creased and opened a small square of paper. When the eighth witness took the oath, Trent did not look up. “Dr. McRae Egerton.” Eighth Witness Dr. Egerton, sixty-five, immaculate, slightly rotund, with crisp grey goat- ee and a manner of tapping black- ribboned pince-nez on his palm, testi- fied that for twenty-three years he has been the Whittaker family phy- sician.
