The most of nnoatinn tht-v asked the twelve these were colored men, who were there by telephone the afternoon before the evening the baby was taken ill and died.

He and his wife and the baby were in a room alone. Mrs. Lennox was out in the yard. Her attention wsa attracted when she saw Mrs. Carlisle up at the window and saw the defendant hurriedly leaving the home.

She asked him what was the trouble and it is claimed he replied that the baby had fallen out of the bed. She went on in to her niece's room and inquired what had occurred between Mrs. Carlisle and her husband. It is claimed that Mrs. Carlisle told her her husband had taken the baby from her, had taken something out of his pocket, had 'placed it to the baby's mouth and then throwing the baby on the bed had hurried away.

Mrs. Anna Swartzfeger, mother of Mrs. Carlisle, who lived nearby, was also attracted to the Lennox home and she claims her son-in-law told her the baby had fallen out of the bed.

Shame upon those who can afford to hoard and do so. Haven't you read somewhere in a book of beautiful sentiment, "Love thy neighbor as thyself?" Is the best advice the world could ever contribute, the "Bible" to be forgotten and selfish ness drown it? It seems so, and un fortunately, by the more intelligent.

Mcllvaine yesterday and by the adjournment of court for the day but three had been heard. The earlier part of the afternoon was taken up with the selection of a jury. Following this considerable time was consumed with an ar gument to quash the indictment. The motion was made by the defense but it was overruled by the court and the trial ordered to proceed. The case is attracting considerable attention and the court room was crowded all day.

On May 15, 1917, John Albert Carlisle, aged five months, son of the defendant died, it is alleged, from the effects of bi-chloride of mercury administered to it. The child's death occurred at the home of Mrs. Anna Lennox, in Washington, aunt of Mrs. Carlisle, mother of the infant, with whom she had been living, following a visit of the father to the home. An analysis of the child's stomach reveal ed the presence of bi-chloride of mer cury.

The contention of the defense is that the father administered the poison while visiting at the home. The first witness called was Coron er James Heffran, who merely testified as to the death of the child and the result of the coroner's inauest. He was followed by T. C. Bebout, a Washington undertaker, also deputy coroner who prepared the body for' burial who testified as the body ad the identification of it as the Car lisle child.

Dr. E. M. Hazlett who was called to attend the child before its death was the last witness. He testified that he found the child to be suffering and had prescribed for it.

He told of stains found on its dress and of the inflamed condition of its throat. He stated -that the poison could also bave been administered through milk given the child. The commonwealth is represented by District Attorney Isaac W. Baum and the defense by C. L.

V. Acheson, of the law firm of Acheson Crum-rine, and R. G. Miller, former dis trict attorney. The young man, employed in Washington as a printer, was arrested a few hours after the baby's death and has been in jail since that time.

The case was originally set for the Au gust term of criminal court. The commonwealth is asking for a first degree verdict and consequently the defendant was put through the usual formal arraignment. The crime, with which the defend ant is charged, is a sequel to troubles and the estrangement of the defendant and his wife, Mrs. Mary Swartzfeger Carlisle. On the day the baby died Mrs.

Carlisle was sick in bed at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Lennox. The defendant, it appears, was called social FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY HELD ALL DAY KNITTING The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal church held an all day knitting yes terday in the church with eighteen women present.

An agreement was reached very shortly afterwards. Sentence was not pronounced last night. The defendant was remanded to jail and if sentence is imposed at this time he will be called Monday, However, D. M. McCloskey, counsel for the defense, gave notice last eve- ning that he might file a motion for a new trial.

In that case sentence will not be imposed now. Mrs. Reno, wife of the defendant, has been a woman of destiny. She has been married twice. Her first hus- band was killed several years ago in the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company's plant, Charleroi.

She was left with ten children. A few years later her oldest daughter, reaching the age of 16 years, was married to an Italian named Buona. Shortly after this marriage Buona was shot and killed in the rear of a Charleroi barber shop. Mrs. Reno was then married to the man, who now stands convicted of the murder of George H.

Lewis at Charleroi, September 9, 1917. She has two children by Reno. The defendant took the stand in his own behalf. His defense was self- defense. He testified that he did not fire the shot, which it is alleged killed Lewis, until after he believed his own life was in danger.

He said that at Too Busy To Tell Much of Our SALE which opened this morning.

It was then that he resorted to his gun and in that scrap Lewis received a fatal wound. at the Lewis home that night and gambling.

It was when Reno went to the house, in an intoxicated condition and made an effort to force his way into the place that the trouble started that resulted in murder. Are Acquitted Fillipo Bramo and Frank Bettontii, indicted on charges of felonious as sault and battery and larceny from person, were acquitted yesterday The charges were of a very serious character, but after the facts were brought out in the trial it developed that the defendants were really only guilty of simple assault, if guilty of anything. The prosecutor was Charlie Rocco. He had gone up an alley near the de fendants' homes. They made objec tions of his conduct there and words were passed and a fight started.

Rocco, it was alleged, was beaten up somewhat. In the scufljle between the men Rocco lost his pocketbook, containing about $52. Part of the money was found oh the ground after the fight. THIS FOWL WAS THE VICTIM OF A FOUL ACT? I Several davs aeo P. R.
