The public is going to be amazed and electrified by the new Pickford personality which will be seen in "Rosita," her latest United Artists' production which comes to thé Capitol theatre for a four days' engagement, starting Wednesday. Miss Pickford, as Rosita, reveals to the publi¢ a vital something -- a hitherto unthought of quality in "America's Sweetheart." The fact is that Mary Pickford has grown up in "Rosita." she has always shrunk from thought, the shrinking was not due to vanity, but to an almost puritani- cal aversion to revealing a grown woman's feelings and emotions. It took great courage on the part of Mary Pickford to grow up on the motion picture screen. Heretofore she has been worshipped chiefly for her portrayals of childhood roles, being the idc! of mothers and chil. dren, but she never permitted her- self to be blinded by the facts in the She has realized all along that to comtinue to bo dear to the public, she must keep shead of her. And to keep ahead SEE The Late Mrs, Fegan. The death of Mrs. Eliza Lower Rideau street, came as a se. vere shock to her many friends.

Forged His Name. Witness said that it was his be- lief that some person had forged his name, and that he was the vic- tim of a .plot to have him put out of the "pen." It was a case of spite. "Why was not this letter sent under the name of Twigg?" asked Mr. Rigney. "lI would have burned it." Witness declared that he had been warned several times to he on his guard as there was an attempt being made to '"frame'" him. Remailed Letter. Witness said that after he read the contents of the letter and found that it was not for him, he remailed it to Warden Ponsford. He placed it in the mail box at the corner of University avenue and Princess street the same night as he received it, Dec. 6th. Witness admitted that he never had such an experience before over a letter. He admitted that he had never. spoken to the warden about the matter and spoke to no person about it until about six weeks later. Twigg swore that the deputy warden might have secured some person to forge his name to the lat- ter. | Mr. Rigney wanted to know why the witness had not sent the letter back to the Windsor lawyer, 'stating that this would have been the means of avoiding all the trouble. Instead of this he had sent it according to his own story, into the people /who were endeavoring to set a "trap" for him. "If I had beea.-a crook I could have got this man Artz to sign any. thing for me," added the witness. Witness gave it as his opinion that the letter he posted to the war- den had been stolen by a clerk or a convict at the pen. Witness swore positively that he did not cash the cheque, | Prison Accountant. T. D. Minnes, accountant at the penitentiary, was called by Mr. Rig- ney and shown the cheque which had been forwarded from Windsor for the convict, Watson. After mak. ing an inspection of the cheque, he declared that it had never been en- tered on his book of records. He could swear positively that the cheque had never 'gone through his office. "I sign for every dollar that com- es into my office," sald Mr. Minnes. The latter went over his books and could find no record of the cheque mentioned. : Questioned by Mr. Day, the wit: ness stated that the cheques would go through the wanden's office be- fore he got them. He said that the convict, Howarth, mentioned in the evidence, had been a clerk in his office for a short time and about the time this cheque disappeared. Arthur Cleeton, clerk in the war- den's office, stated he opened let. ters coming to comvicts and a re cord kept. Tf a letter with a cheque had been received for Wat- son, it would have been recorded in the book kept for that purpose. To Mr. Day witness said that let. ters received by the warden would be opened by the latter's clerk. Witness had never opened anything addressed to the warden. Warden J. C. Ponsford was the last witness before the court ad- journed and to Mr. Rigney he de clared that he had never received a letter from Twigg, containing the letter and cheque.' He declared that no such letter had ben re. ceived in his office. If such a let- ter came into his office, it would be sure to reach his cheques were allowed to without the witness It the cheque went into the *{ tentiary, it did not go through "regular channel" 'I Mr. Day--"1 don't think "the letter.

Asked by Mr. Day if he had re- ceived complaints or reports abo at men in his office being under the Tafiuenes oF Hgyor, Witness sald "No." He had never heiird of charges. , "I never heard it and I don't be- lieve it," sald Warden Ponsford. "If 1 found this was true that man would be out of the gate in short order." Mr. Day, at this stage, handed Warden Ponsford a slip which it was intimated had been given him by a certain party, making the "pen" had been under the influence of liquor. Warden Ponsford declared that he had never had any reports on the matter and would be glad to look into the case.

Prohibitionists of Australia Want Adelaide, Jan. 7.--In the South Australian parliamentary elections, the prohibitionists have inaugurat- ed a campaign in favor of Saturday afternoon closing of bars and wine saloons as a preliminary to complete abolition. The temperance party is making its principal line 'of attack a demand for a referendum, which the government and a majority of the ministerialists oppose as a threat to the great wine industry. The Premier is in favor of a firm control of the liquor rade, but the referendum principle iA part of the Labor platform, and a kgen fight is developing.
