Ho was overruled by the' luiin. wnicn stated tlmt the witness ld ho allowed to testify, nnd then, if the court thought the testimony irrelevant it would be ruled out. The court also allowed Mr. Cnrrow u general exception to its ruling. Kelly then testified that bo was em ployed as u taxicab driver, that he had been engaged on the night of October by Schuck and .Tames nt Broad Street Station, to drive them to the Arlington Apartments. He stated he took them north on Broad street to Diamond, and not knowing the address of tbn apartments, they turned south on Sixteenth. T'nnble to find the apart menus, he said, they decided to look for the address In a telephone directory.

He replied. "No, be was not what I would call intoxicated." Tal DrUcr Testifies A woman many persons believed wn Mrs. David S. Paul, widow of the mur dered man. came into the courtroom leaning on the arm of Harry Paul, of Mt. Holly, the son. Young Paul denied it was his mother. Mrs. Puul was not present at the James trial. She bus been living with relatives at (Jlasa boro. George Jnuss, n tiixieab driver of Phi'ndelphia, repeated the testimony be gave nt the James trial concerning the three days' "jo.Vridc" In which James and. for part of the time, Schuck indulged, just after the murder. His testimony wns considerably briefer than at the James trial, deal ing only in essentials. Ho first met Jnmes and Schuck, ne said, on October 7. The morning of October 0, he said, he took Schuck and James for a ride through Overbrook, and Schuck got out nt Sixty-third and Market streets, ar ranging to meet James there again that evening. Schuck kept the, engage ment, driving up in another smaller taxicab, and after he and James hud talked u few moments in this machine, Schuck transferred 10 James' taxi and handed James a paper package, which the latter put in 11 bluck handbag. Schuck got out of the car again, tho witness said, at Fifty -second and Walnut streets. During the testimony of the driver Mrs. Schuck snt with lier head bowed, only glancing up once or twice. She did not weep, however, nor wns there any sign of a breaking down of her morale. Can't Identify Shoel The taxi drivei was followed lv several lesser witnesses. One of these, August Ilildern, SIM Iiroadway, a florist, testified Schuck had bought a potted plunt some time in October for a dollar. Mrs. Lottie Weyland, n widow, whose husband died suddenly Inst week, and who keens u hardware store ot 131!) Mt. Kphruini avenue, testified she had sold a tire shovel to Schuck some time in October, but did not remember the dute und could not identify the shovel with which, it is nlleged, he buried the murder loot in Kvergreeu Cemetery . Henry Robinson, ."17 Park boule vard, 11 boyhood friend of Schuck, nodded and spoke to him us he passed to tlie witness stand. He testified on October 11 he had lent thn defendant bin uutomobile. Later in thn day he saw Schuck, he said, between the Homeopathic Hospital and Evergreen Cemetery, on Mt. Fphrium avenue. On October -."I. the witness testified, he let Scluick buve the car again, this time for M-vcral days, and Schuck paid him $."0 hire for it. At the time, he said, Schuck told him he had gone to Newport, N. J., for 11 rest. "The papers, were full of James' ar rest nt this time," the witness said, "and I asked Schuck if he had unything to do with it. "He answered, 'No, not 011 your life and I don't believe Frank (James 1 hnd unything to do with it either.' ' "Why Did You Ask?" "Why did you ask such a iiucstionV Inquired I'l" utor Wolverton. "II111I you any special reason to suspect it might be mi'.'" "No," the witness answered. "It was 'just curiosity on my part. I knew that Schuck and James were gicat friends."

On 11 day in October, the witness said, Schuck had come to him and ashed di rection to the lot.

Several lines she urned to talk with her brother who Rnt beside iicr, or with young women friends. Kclitich Averts liyes It wns nearly 10 :H0 o'clock before Mrs. Schuck entered the courtroom. The trial wus in nrocress. She came In the door near the judge's stand und walked past the table where her husband und his lawyer sat without speaking. Schuck had uverte dhis eyes when he recoguized her nnd made no move us her sleeve almost brushed his Bhoulder. Clad in the sumo ncut blue suit und bat, the wife sat among other specta tors on the second row. More wniiHii were in attendance to day than nt any other time since the trial began Mondny. Intense interest was cunlfested in women witnesses and in testiinonj given by taxi drivers. As the fur coat was brought forth women half rose in their scuts to see the sl'-Oprment. There were "ohs" and "nhs' of admiration from many femi nine lips. Schuck himself blushed slightly and his lips tightened. So many persons wanted to get in for this morning's sitting of tho trial that they broke down the door on 'he Broadway side of the courthouse. It wns the biggest crowd of the three days that the triul has been in progress. It was a biggest crowd than assembled at any dny of the trial of James. Long before 1) o'clock the crowd bod formed in a long line about the court house. So heuvy was tho press nt the door itself thnt lu spite of efforts of bpe.'iiil details of bailiffs and police, 'he door tinnllv yielded to the weight of the milling crowd und was burst in. A stream of people went in who were promptly put out again by tho police, Order was restored. Woman's Brc-flier There One of those on hand early was Tred McGorvey, brother of Mrs. Mary Mc Garvey. Y'oung McGorvey sought the prose cutor's office to tell Prosecutor Wolver ton that his sjyter could not be present because of illness In the absence of Mr. Wolverton nt the time McGarvey arrived ho suw Assistant Prosecutor Burling. Mr. Burling would not say how long Mrs. McGorvey would be absent on nc count of illness Nor would ho say whether her testimony was essential to the case. Young McGarvey refused to talk to reporters. He said his mother as well as his sister had been made ill by the notoriety of the cae. James is expected to take the witness ftnnd to testifv against Schuck. James, though u convicted criminal, uud theretore. under the New Jersey luw . a witness whose testimony is to be received with caution, possesses knowl edge of the, crime which is regarded as essential for n conviction in Schuck' case. Schuck s attorney said today that James is so incensed agulnst Schuck for his confession that he will bn a willing witness for the state. LIES, SAYS FATHER OF MRS. M'GARVEY Mrs. Mary McGarvey was reported to be still quite sick today at the home of her fath t, Fred Monnch, Chnucellor street iicur Fifty -second. A woman named, McGarvey has been mentioned in connection with the mur der trial of Raymond W. Schuck in Camden. Schuck wus n friend of Mrs. Mary McGarvey and her family. Mrs. McGarvey is the wife of William McGarvey, who lives in a suburban town nuil until live months ngo wus u,u employe of the Pennsylvania Rail road. They have -i five-year-old son. Sir. Monnch snid yesterday thnt his daughter and her husband were not liv ing together lici atl-e, due to the house shortage, they could not get a bouse, and had decided to go to their family homes temporarily. Tlie son ih witn Mrs. McGarvey. but the husband is said to go occasionally and get the boy to take him for'n visit at the grandmoth er's home in the country . At toduv's sitting of the trial a fur coat was identified by a Walnut street furrier as one which Scluick hud bought on October 7 for u young woman whoso naiiii- Ihe furrier said was "McGur vcy Denies She Got Coat Mr. Mount h and anolher daughter of his deuHl that Mrs. McGurvey ever was given a fur coat by St buck. The father rep.-it'-d his iis-crtlnii of yes-tei-dav that liN daughter bad bought nnd paid for her coat, and had a re ceipt for ii. The father denied also the rumor that was wliispcicd around the courtroom vesterday thnt Mrs. McGarvey had been taken bv Schuck In see n bungalow in New Jersev which he proposed to buy for Iwr. Thii was supposed to buve been Mime lime before the murder. "The truth of that story was," said Mr. MoiuhIi. "that u man, a friend'of die family. Inst ins wife and inherited some money from her estate. He thought he would buy a home in New Jersey, lie bad 'in automobile and he came lure one d.iv, getting Schuck and another mini and taking Mary along to see the house. He didn't like the house and tin- de-il fell through." Mr. Monnch also denied; that Mary knew Mis. Scluick, wife of Raymond sjchuck. "It may be that Mrs. Schuck saw my daughter nt some time," the father said, "but it i a pack of lies to say tliat .Mis. Schuck knew Mary. .My (luughteruevcr saw Mrs. Schuck in her life. She did not know there wa.s a .Mrs. Schuck. Had II Willi Sclmcli "And it Is a lie. loo, lo say thai Schuck ever gave my daughter any money to keep for him. We understood that Scliuik had a little money , but he never said lie hnd uud never gave uny evidence of it. I have had u glass of beer with him now and then, uud I never saw him with more than n couple of dollars." The father said Ihe family had every reason to respect Schuck. "He wits a niie bov, nnd I don't believe he Is guilty. He never paid any special at tention to my daughter. He came here a few times to cue the family. He was a gentleman in every way. "If my daughter were not ill I would have her go over to die trial iu ('.linden to refute the stories that have been spread uboul her.
