In and some of the language he puts in-'the battle between Boehler and the to the mouth of the Drainman, the ele-i Police sPauldinS Parsons, a drug mental man who typifies the glory or. .. aaiHrMrti. n t,.- labor in the play, fairly bristles wifh strong expletives and picturesque ver "biage. He doesn't like clergymen, be cause "he'ates the sight of their 'alf baketl silly mugs;" his brother's wife is referred to as "Bill's old geezer;" he consigns a worldly bishop to "Hell, Jell" with easy grace and refers to him as "a silly old josser," and in his LAYS it ON M'NAMAtAS. by Police Sergeant Brett.

Krum, ar guing to the jury in the ."dynarriite conspiracy" trial today, rested the res ponsibility for the series of explosions which the 40 defendants are charged with having caused. Mr. Krum, associated with United States Senator John V. Kern, as counsel for the defense, told the jury the government had failed to show that President Frank M. Ryan and other officials of the Iron Workers' Union had violated the Federal stat ute prohibiting the carrying of explo sives on passenger trains and that the government had based its charges chiefly upon the admissions of the dy- i nnnntprc famous speech in the -last act in whichLng house ou Main street near Adams. j Tho Mow rmmspi nttiH 'th he tells about UlS visit to ine cess-ppoi When a demand wns mad thnt h . . , . . , r underneath the church, he makes use surrender. he opened fire through the i .lr f V- F o- r.M 3ovrn ornrde C , , . olu-hui i-'cauac nna oaiuc Jit.du- ui a uuuiuu ui locKea uoor oi nis room witn a pistol.
