f"I want only such evidence an will
Milde me In passing sentence," the

Mr. Ceughlln the letters he had re

A Which he received gave a description of
the nursery from which Ulakely was
Kelen.
"Was the despriptlen accurate?"
ked the court.
"Absolutely," answered the witness.
"Then you may read the description ;
Jethlng else."
i Only when her husbund told of the
discovery that their lmby was com and
detailed their frantic search In the
S'lght for some clue did Mrs. Ceughlln
low the struggle she was lmlng te
control herself. Mr. Ceughlln told of
Hearing a noise In the nursery.
J "I went up there." he snld, "and ran
ever te the baby's crib In the ilnry. I

iyiw that the deer from the nursery
ti the sleeping perch was closed. We
Mad left it open.
I "We ran through te the yard nnd
tliere we discovered n ladder ngaint the

I ran out te Knndv Hill read and
down the read nnd came back through
$ic shrubbery, but could find no trace
of tbe child. Mrs. Ceughlln let me in
at the front deer nnd we telephoned the
City Hall te notify the police.
"Then I put en some clothes nnd
went out te get help from the ncigh-
Bers nnd we all searched everywhere
i 4ven a house across the read and some
dinpty shacks In the fields adjoining.
But we could find nothing te give us nn
ilea of whnt had become of our baby."
j "These minutine de net help me in
finpesing sentence," Judge Swart iu-
frmpted.
Mr. Ceughlln then related the re
ceipt of the letters from "The Crank."
The first one told him te nut StiOOO in a
1 if and tie it te u pe.t under the Free
J mnnburg bridge.
The letter said the spot would be
fcarked by a white handkerchief.
"I did net go." snid Mr. Cnughliu.
1 nsked the posteffic( authorities te
Ae up nnd see if the spot was marked in
that way und they reported that it wns.
I then made n statement in the papers
(hat I would net pay any money te any
$ne unless they produced the baby's
Clethes and sent it photograph of the
hlld.
J "I received another letter in which
the writer asked why I had net done
as he told me. He said that the nrlre
" j would have te pay for the baby's re
turn would new be $12,000 instead of
XOuUU and be had offered as proof n
fcacriptlen of the nursery."
Description Accurate
"Was this description accurate?"
"Absolutely."
Mr. Ceughlln wns then given per
mission te rend that part of the letter.
j "The room hns three doers." he
ead.- "Tliere is a rocking chair in the
middle of the fleer between the windows
and the crib. I had te move it te get
IJy. Tliere is a table en the left near
the window with a woman's work
(asket en it. The bottle which you say

The crowd which hnd jammed the
corridor eutfdde began curly te filter In
past the guardn with one excuse or nn-
Iher. and the courtroom was seen
tilled te its capacity.
Leng before the hour net for the
trial te begin the rotunda nutidde the
court room wns filled with pcople
crowding in te get only a glimpse of
the prisoner nnd of the parents whose
heart Hiiffcriugs have urnused he much
sympathy.
Outside the building, tee, the side
walks were seen lined until n fringe
of persons, mostly women extended
along Airy street from the court house
te the jail. They expected te see I'as
quale brought down te fnce trial for his
life.
Hut the county officials, who have
already been officially reprimanded for
mnking a "show" of their prisoner, hnd
anticipated just such nn exhibition of
popular curiosity. They were deter
mined net te be reprimanded again.
Se at 7 :45 o'clock this morning two
deputy officials quietly removed Pns
quale from his cell and took him te the
prisoners' room en the second fleer of
the courtheute. There he wns kept in
secluien while the throngs crowded
streets and corridors outside waiting
for him.
When nn Kvk.mne Pt;nt.ie Ledekh
cameraman snapped him this morning
The Crank laughed gaily, us theuzh
much pleased at the prominence which
he has achieved. He likes te be pho
tographed, lie seems te hnve all the
vanity that alienists attribute te the
Instinctive criminal.
"Hew long is your trial going te
last?" he was asked.
"Net long." he replied. "I'm going

save that billion, net by several hundred j
million. They are familiar with the I
"you must but we can't" game. i
However, the Itepublican leaders will i
hnve one resource this ye'nr which they
never hnd before. Hitherto when the
department chiefs replied "wc can't,"
Congress had no check upon them. This
year they will have the permanent
budget organization which will be cre
ated under the budget bill te be passed
this session. When the departments
come back alleging deficiencies they will
hnve te pree their needs te the budget
makers. The budget makers will be
supposed te knew. Cengrens frankly
does net knew. It has been benten In
the gnme of putting pressure en the
spenders by merely cutting their esti
mates. Thus, though the budget system will
net go into existence early enough te
control appropriations for the coming
car, it will In effect control them.
All that Is going te be uppreprlnteil
bpfore the -lth of March Is the mini
mum amount. It the departments want
mere they will be fercwl in submit de
mands that will Btand the scrutiny of
the budget makers.
The difficulty which will confront the
budget makers is that the opportunity
te cut N net nearly se grent as is popu
larly hiippesed. Appropriations when
deficiencies are made up are going te
run from four te five billions u ypur.
Hut the cost of maintaining the army
and navy and the cost of carrying (lie
public debt, amount te three-fourths of
that. That is te say, the cost of pre
vious, wars nnd the eet of military and
naval establishments amount te about
7ti per cent of the cost of the govern
ment. If nil the ether expenditures of
the government were cut In halt the
saving would net be enormous.
The cost of carrying the public debt
cannot be reduced. The government
will, however, kieii be relieved of one
expense that arose In the war. that of
guaranteeing dividends en the rail
roads. 'This deficiency lias amounted
te mere than $700,000 a year. It will
be met for the last time in the coining
appropriations.
The only ether war costs that can be
reduced are these for the maintenance
of the army and navy. President Wil Wil
eon at Paris failed te secure disarma
ment. Tin- navy department is nsklng
for large appropriations for next jenr
Tf President Harding, as a result of the
league or association of nations, ob
tains effective disarmament 1m will be
able greatly te reduce gevctiitnent ex
penditures. There la pressure upon nil
governments for economy of this sort.
