(UP) When Mrs. Helena Grant

at a (ay party at which her hus
band, Leslie Thornewlll, was an

six persons present left hurriedly
by the doors that were closed

Frank aKone. Mrs. Elda Wal
lace and Patricia Ross, who ac
companied Thornewlll to the ca
bin where the party occurred,
each testified that they had
heurd the three shots that
wounded Thornewlll "from a dis
tance." Stone said he waa quarter
of a mile away from tbe cabin
by the time the sbota were tired
and he amused court room spec
tators by bis story ot the
"flight."
"I waa first to leave but when
I hsd run 100 yards op the

ahead," Stone said. ' I ran fas
ter and found it was Mrs. Wal

got that big a lead on me but
there she was."
Stone said he decided to leave
when Mrs. Thornewlll arrived be
cause he "knew tbinga would

The testimony today indicated,
therefore, that Milton Main, host
of the party, who testified Thor

Judge Learns Definition
Of Feminine Clothing And ;
Ends "Sketch Book" Trial
CHICAGO. Feb. 20. (UP)
After Judge Justin F. McCarthy
learned to his satisfaction the def
inition of the word "brassiere,"
he adjourned court today in the
trlal of 26 principals and chorus
girls of Earl Carroll's "Sketch
Book." charged with presenting
an obscene performance.
Inasmuch as the "Sketch Book
is scheduled to leave Chicago to
morrow anyway, the judge's final
decision as to how nude a chorus
girl may be without breaking any
laws, thus is going to be ot ac
ademic interest rather than ot any
commercial value.
TOO TECHNICAL
While Will Mahoney. William
Demurest and all the chorus girls
draped themselves comfortably in
the courtroom. Attorney Cornel
ius Harrington discussed "bras
sieres, trunks, bandeaus, and
shields," with the Misses Effle
Staler and Sarah Riley, middle-
aged censors who saw the show
and said they found It "filthy."
Judge McCarthy listened to the
technical discussion ot women s
underwear a while and then in
terrupted: "Pardon me. but what do all
these words mean? For all I
know a brassiere might be a base
ball mask. Let's have a defini
tion." WANTS nEFTNITIOX
The eminent Bainii Henry mi-

"Let Miss R ley toll ui men

Miss Riley, "Is ah, consists ot

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.
(UP) A self styled "con.
feasion" that prohibition
cannot prohibit" and a sup
gestion for "home option"
as the final solution of the
prohibition . problem were
made to the Wickersham
commission by A. W. W.
Woodcock, prohibition dir
ector. This was disclosed
in the material and evid?
ence submitted tonight by
the commission to the sen
ate. Woodcock's lengthy ststement
conceded that his "confession"
would be challenged, bnt hut
theory waa that it did not mean,
the failure ot the prohibition
experiment. Instead he suggested
that a law against consumption
ot liquor could not be actually
and completely prohibitive any
more than other laws.
EXPLAINS IDEA ' .
By "home option," Woodcock
explained he meant there should
be no effort to overcome exist-,
lmt legal ditficnlties in carrying
prohibition enforcement Into the
home. A homeowner would be
untroubled in bis right to possess:
or to make liquor in tta own.
home tor hla own use.
