CURRENT BILL AT COLUMBIA IS GOOD ONE Five Vaudeville Acts and Picture Above Ordinary Run. The Columbus theater is concluded ing the week with an exceptionally good all-around bill. With one or two exceptions, the five vaudeville offerings are above the mediocre, The picture, a comedy, is heightened in its entertainment by a well developed plot.

Taken as a whole, the program is one of the best recently presented. The audiences apparently were more intrigued with Marie Stoddard than any other number, judging from the ardor and persistency of their applause. They would have looked at her and listsened to her at greater length, but the management was determined togo on with the rest of the show. "Miss Stoddard, with an abundance of auburn tresses, describes herself as an old-fashioned in long skirts and with long hair. She is an apt imitator of vocal celebrities, her imitations ranging all the way from the shy young thing with the baby voice to the grand prima donna, Mercedes, assisted by Mlle.

Stantone, termed the marvelous mystic, mystifies the audience with his ready telepathic demonstration. Working swiftly in the midst of the audience he obtained whispered titles of music compositions, which instantly were played by Mile. Stontone at the piano. The performance is an interesting one. Cuby and Smith smoke out the laughs with a burlesque acrobatic performance that is as difficult as some of the most serious of athletic achievements.

Both are comedians of unusual type -and their awkward entanglement of limbs and clumsy slips provoke mirthful ripples, Performances by intelligent animals always find approval with a red-blooded audience, and that of Hill's Society Circus, is worthy of more than passing mention. Diminutive horses display a repertoire of tricks which arouse quick A troop of dogs carry thru spirited performance. Ralph Ash presents a rapid-fire revue of dance and song numbers, interspersed with witty dialog. In the regue are Billy Stone, Frank -Balone, Rae Parlow and the Bower sisters. The film offerir- is "The SoEcial Highwayman," and the characters are John Patrick, -Dorothy Devore and Montagu Love.

comedy situations are cleverly worked out, and the action moves calong thru a maize of odd circumstances, heroic and semi-heroic, attended by thrilling adventures, -which eventually work out to a happy conclusion.

He also testified that powder marks found near the bullet wound at the right temple covered a portion of the gash on her head thus indicating that she was shot after her head was cut. Woman's Son Testifies.

Clifford Moore. 16, son of the dead woman, was the next witness summoned. The high point of his testimony was the repetition of his statement made to police that McKeague admitted, shooting Mrs. Moore. Young Moore spoke calmly and answered all questions directly and without hesitation.

He declared he left his home between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock Sunday morning and returned shortly after 1 o'clock when he was met at the rear door by McKeague. McKeague, according to the youth's testimony, "She done it." Moore said he did not exactly understand what the older man meant by this statement, but when he went into the house he was told by McKeague that his mother had killed herself. Then he told of seeing A McKeague come from the direction of his mother's bedroom and of his state. ment "I shot her with a .32." This incident, Moore said, occurred after Mrs. Moore had been taken to the hospital and while he and McKeague were alone in the house.

Young Moore also told of his mother asking him to buy her a gun and said she told him that she was afraid of McKeague when he had been drinking. He did not buy a gun, he said. He was asked whether or not his mother had ever bought poison and he replied that McKeague had found a small bottle of carbolic acid in the house and had emptied the contents of the bottle which was later thrown into the yard. Mother Feared McKeague. Moore declared McKeague had stayed at his mother's home nearly every night since Harry Lemeke, who had been friendly with Mrs.

Moore, killed himself. Lemcke killed himsef several weeks ago by drinking poison. The witness said he had been asked by his mother to sleep downstairs near her. Dr. P.

A. Bendixen was called next and testified in detail to the findings of the group of physicians who were present when the postmortem examination was made. testimony was much the same as that offered by Drs. Schmidt and Strohbehn. Police Officers August Meyer and William Waack, who were in charge of the police ambulance at the time police were called, testified that they looked about the house but that they were unable to find a gun.

Policemen Testify. Officers Herbert Cates, Clark Laand Elmer Schlueter were called. They they looked for a revolver. gun was not testified, found until late Sunday evening by Officer Schlueter. Officer Cates, sent from headquarters to investigate, declared he made a thoro search of the room in which the woman was found.

He said he picked up the coat under which the gun was found later, but he did not see a gun. He testifiled to finding a bullet hole in the floor near the bed. Officer Schlueter, who found the gun, identified a .32 calibre revolver as the weapon he found lying in the corner of the bedroom and under the dead woman's coat. He also told of finding a box of cartridges in a dresser drawer. Authorities Picture Crime.

Lola died of certatha fractures of Moore, causby blows administered by some person unknown to the jury and from a bullet wound in the brain, the bullet fired from a gun in the hand of some person unknown to the jury." Testimony of Drs. P. A. Bendixen, B. H.

Schmidt and E. A. Strohbehn established firmly the fact that Mrs. Moore was beaten on the head before she was shot. All agreed on this point.

They were present at a post-morten tion made at Mercy hospital. The physicians also agreed that the woman would not have been able to shoot herself after her skull was fractured. They agreed that severe blows were administered at the base and at the left frontal portion of the skull. Powder burns found in the wound at her right temple indicated, the physicians said, that the bullet crashed into her skull after she was beaten about the head. Physician Testifies.

Dr. B. H. Schmidt, 728 Warren street, was the first witness. He told of going to the Moore home where he was met by McKeague who informed him that Mrs.

Moore was having a hemorrhage. The witness said McKeague did not appear to be excited and went into the room where the woman was lying on the floor a pool of blood. Dr. Schmidt explained in detail position in which he found Moore. She was unexact, conscious, the physician said, and bleeding from the nose and mouth.

She was lying in a natural position, both arms close to her side and her legs fully extended. "McKeague helped me lift her to the bed." the physician continued. "Then we took off a dark coat the woman was wearing. There was a large pool of blood on the floor and two pieces of brain matter were found, one about two feet from where her head was resting and the other about three and onehalf feet away. "I saw a wound in the right tem'ple from which blood was flowing freely.

was fractured. I told McKeague she would 'die and ambulance. "After finding wound in her right temple, it looked like a bullet -wound, I looked around the room for a gun but I could not find a gun. I did not think she fell against a dresser which was in the room and not far from the spot where she was lying." Struck Violent Blow. In the opinion of Dr.

Schmidt, the victim was struck- a violent blow on the head which caused skull fractures and hemorrhages. He told in detail of the findings of physicians at a post-mortem examination made at Mercy hospital. Powder marks found inside the wound on the woman's right temple indicated, the witness said, that she was shot after her temple was cut. A fracture found at the base of the skull was caused, Dr. Schmidt declared he believed, by some violent blow administered at that point.

clots found in the brain were caused by this blow. The witness said a bullet would not cause the fracture at the base of the skull. McKeague Called. Frank McKeague, who has been held since the woman's death, was the next witness called. He entered the courtroom in custody of a police officer.

The coroner's oath was administered and McKeague was asked if he had been advised as to his constitutional rights. Attorney M. F. Donegan, appearing for McKeague, told the coroner that his client would not testify, and declared he would claim his privilege of being excused from testifying. Dr.

E. F. Strohbehn. 904 West Sixth street, testified next. His statements regarding the injuries received they Mrs.

Moore were practically same as those made by Dr. B. H. Schmidt. Dr.

Strohbehn declared the woman could not have shot herself after her skull was.
