...Grand Jury of the District of Columbia for a second week withheld its action on the evidence that Oilman Harry Ford Sinclair and friends had shadowed the petit jury which was trying him for criminal conspiracy, and the further evidence that Detective William J. Burns and aides had perjured themselves in an effort to impugn U. S. agents for jury-tampering (TIME, Oct. 31 et seq.).

In fact, she is some-times so eager that she gets ahead of the play and on one occasion is insulted before the words are uttered. Her breathlessness ruins many of her effects, but her vitality should win the favour of everyone. Mr. Roberts plays the absurdly romantic husband and self-centered statue of respectability even more ably. His part, however, is much simpler; he undergoes...
