Major George S. Harries, O.B.E, has been from the start one of the most loyal fmd stalwart supporters of the Fund. He was the chairman of the Committee until quite recently, when the growing burden of business considerations compelled him to resign the chairmanship.

LOCAL MURDER fMi??F %jMr&M&Mtj. I Story of Deceased Woman's Trips With Gentlemen. WITNESS BREAKS DOWN IN BOX. I I At the Cardiff Assizes on Thursday, be- foro Mr. Justice Baillache, Mrs. Lavinia Beynon, nurse, was charged with the wil- ful murder of Esther Da vies (34), a married woman, of Gowerton. Mr. Artemus Jones, K.C., and Mr. N. H. Thomas (instrncted by Mr. Rupert Lewis) appeared for the prosecution, and 1 Sir Ellis J. Gritlitli, K.C. and Mr. Trevor Hunter (instructed by Mr. Henry Thompson) defended. PRISONER QUITE COMPOSED. 1 Prisoner, who was attired in a navy blue costume, and had a fur over the shoulders, appeared to be quite composed in the dock, and in a firm voice replied in answer to the Clerk of Arraigns, not gailty." The court was crowded, and Mr. Arte- mus Jone«, in opening, described the charge as the gravest in the criminal law. Deceased, Esther Davios, was 31 years of age, and was married, her husband having been for three or four years in the Army, and at the time of her death was in Russia. Deceased lived with her par- ents at a public-house known as the Ty- gwyn Stores. There were four children. I IRREGULAR HABITS. There was no doubt, eaid counsel, that deceased was a woman of very irregular habits. She owned a motor car, and had done some war work. She formed a friendship with a professional nurse named Poulson. These two went to Birm- ingham for the purposo of looking for a public-house for the deceased. On their return Nurse Poulson and deceased were in Swansea together, and they went to King Edward-road, where deceased asked Nurse Poulson to wait for her. Evidence would be called to show that deceased went in tho direction of prisoner's house. Prisoner's hue-band—an inspector in the Swansea Borough Police Force—resided lower down in King Edward-road. r VERY AGITATED. When deceased returned after about an hour, she appeared very agitated. Proceeding, counsel said that deceased was suddenly taken very ill, and sent for Nurso Ponleon, later sending on .her .boy to prisoner with a note, as a result of which prisoner went down to Gowerton to see the deceased. I ALLEGED CONVERSATIONS. j Although she was a stranger to Nurse Poulson, prisoner said to her: I know you will be a pal and not give me away." Prisoner after examining deceased said to Nureo Poulson: It will surely come off before the morning." Later on she told Nurse Poulson: It will be the very bt woman I shall ever do it to." Deceased got worse, and eventually, died in the Swansea Hospital. Counsel said that evidence pointed to the fact that deceased had died ae the result of the operation which the pro<se- cotion alleged was performed by the pri. soner. The first witness called was Mrs. Davies, mother of the deceased, and in cross-examination she said that the de- ceased had a car, which sometimes was very difficult to start. She added that her daughter had many lady friends, amongst them was l'owl-SOll, who often stayed at Tygwyn Stores. NURSE POWLSON'S EVIDENCE. I Winifred Mabel Powlfsou, Swansea, was the next witn(-oip- called, and said with regard to the alleged visit of the deceased to prisoner's house, that she (witness) waited outside. Mr. Artemus Jones: Did anything at- tract your attention when Mrs. Davies .came out? Witness She was very flushed, and was nearly crying, and looked awfully ill. In cross-examination by Sir Ellis Gri- ff th, witness eoairl that during the last fortnight of her life deceased and,witness spent a great deal of time together. Be- 1 two on Christmas and Jul/ she had seen very littJ.e of deceased. No one went with | them to Birmingham, but they met gentleman friends there, amongst them a Mr. Moss. Mrs. Davies did not sign the visitor'* book in the hotel as Esther Davies," hut she could not <?ay what. she J iigaed horeolf M. TRIPS WITH GENTLEMEN. I Sir Ellis Griffith: You have been very frequently with Mrs. Davies in her motor car!—I have been on several occasions with her. > Sir Ellis Griffith: On how many occas- ions have you gone with Mrs. Davies for trips which involved absence from home all r)ightn-T)ireo or four times. Do you remember the people jou went with P-YLIC-. Were they women friends ?--No, gentle- man friends. ) How many?—One as a* rule, and some- times two. Once, two; generally one. Witneos admitted having spent a week- end with Mrs. Levies and some friends at Brecon in March last. Sir Ellis Griffith: Are you quite snre that it m,as only on one occasion that there were two gentlemen? Witness: I cotild not be positive. Was one M companion to you and the other as companion to Mffl. Davies?- Yes. Did you know that she was a married woinan F-YEG. Coming back to the visit to Briming- hani, witness said in answer to counsel, that she slept with Mrs. Davies. but she I slept on top of the sheet and Mre. Davies underneath the sheet. _a_- I WITNESS BREAKS UUWN. I Sir Ellis Grfliith: When you returned from Birmingham you went straight to her hon^e?—Yes. Have you a home of your own? Here witness broke down and said: 1 do not know what would have happened to me if I had no home. Through Mr. Thompson taking my character away I have lost-my position; 1 have lost my cha-racfbr; I hvae lott my everything. If I did not have a home I do not know what would have happened to me." Witness was cross-examined at length with regard to the conversations she had with the prisoner when the latter visited the deceased's house. She denied that pri- soner had said: I am very surprised to see that Mrs. Davies is ill; I am awfully sorry for her in her trouble." Prisoner did not say it was a bad business. TOLD ONE LIE. I Sir Ellis Griffith: Did you admit to the magistrates that you told lies in court? Witness: I told one lie. Did you admit in court that you had been telling a lie?—Yes. How many in all? Witness did not answer. Evidence was called to corroborate the witness's statement that deceased was in King Edward-road, and came from the direction of prisoners" house on the day I in question. One witness, Mrs. Bird, said she re- ceived a note from deceased, but denied I having received any note at any time from prisoner. Athur C. Davies, the 14-year-old son of deceased, deposed to taking a note from his mother to prisoner and to Mrs. Bird. Mrs. Bird wrote a reply to tlifct note which he handed to the prisoner. I Margaret Ann Bevan, Farmers' Ar-, f Waunarlwydd, sister of the deceased, spoke of being present with the prisoner when deceased was ill. She did not re- member prisoner telling her that de- ceased must have a doctor. Nurse Powlson, recalled, sAi(I that on the Friday morning the deceased had a miscarriage. Dr. McCalden was called, and his evi- dence was not completed when the court adjourned for lunch. (Proceeding)
I JURY DISAGREE.
I JURY DISAGREE. End of Election Libelj Case. The action brought against Brigadier- General ThomM Kd?ecumbe Hickman* M.P., and Mr. G. E. Brown, a politico supporter, bv Lieutenant-Colonel John Kynaston, late of the R.A.M.C., claim- llg damages for libel and conspiracy to slander him during the last General Election, terminated in the King s Bcnch oh "Wednesday. Mr. George Edward Brown, the ofaicr defendant, said he saw a great deal of plaintiff from the time plaintiff came to Bilaton, in 1912. On one occasion wit- ness said to him that people were saying he was not married to the lady with whom he was living, and was a divorced man. j «A D- LIE." I. Dr. Kynaston replied, You can take 1 it from me, it is a d-- lie." All that witness said at General Hick- man's meeting was that if the letters were true no decent-minded man or woman could possibly put a cross to the name of a man with such a record. He had nothing whatever to do with the publication of the pamphlet. Mrs. Elizabeth, Hickman, wife of Brigadier-General Hickman, said she never mentioned plaintiff's personal character or referre dto the letter at a meeting. Counsel for the defence: Did you • "When you people leave this room i want you to cast it far and wide •" iJ. neve rsaid anything of the sort. Mrs. Hickman added that sne wyu,u never made remarks like these. j-veT were more like the speech of a working n oman. She would not mix herself up with a disgusting story like this; no decent-minded woman would. The jury disagreed and were dis- charged.

VICAR'S POVERTY. I Painful Story of Struggle. A sa- d story of I A sad story of a vicar's fight to live on foiall incomes and his wife being driven to work as a waitress in London were told in the Bradford Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday. The debtor was the Rev. J. B. Chap- lin, vicar of Hnbberholme, Buckden. whose estimated liabilities were £ 900 and estimated assets £39. He gave his Venrlv salaries which he had had when clifferciit curacies as £140, £ 160. P,120 and £ 150. He had had to resort to i hi,(l to resort to or, e having little loans and renewing at double interest. He had bad NO EXTRA V AGANCE. Mr. Chaplin concluded: I have four children, t iree at Bury St. Edmunds and one in London, and in order to keep them in a reasonable way my wife has been out sickllursing, and is now en- gaged as a waitress in London to keep the pot boiling." In order to educate his children he and his wife had had to suffer from the want of the bare necessities of life. He had sold his furniture and effects, and had been living practically without furniture. OFFICIAL RECEIVER'S SYMPATHY. At the conclusion of the examination the Official Receiver said: I stand be- side this debtor, who has been faced with the alternative of starvation of his wife and his children or of resorting to money lenders. If the Church and other de- nominations don't see that their clergy are better paid, if Christianity does not compel them to do it, then humanity ought, and we should not have people of education faced with such <1, horrible alternative. The examination was closed.

T ) MISLEADING. ( Cost of Army Not Permanent j — It is wholly misleading to represent the total of as being a net recurring or permanent cost «f the. Army to the taxpayer," Mr. H. W. Forster, ) War Oce, said yesterday, in presenting supplementary estimates. Replying to Lord Fisher's character- ) istie explosion about spendin £ 4.00,000,000 on the Army a year after the I armistice, Mr. Forster said.; We are spending motfiney largely in getting rid of the ArAiy. I It is all very well for persons, dis- tinguished or otherwise, to break out into diatribes of that kind. They do not in- j form public opinion; they only mislead it i LORD FISHER REBUKED. It certainly ought to have been ob-j vieus to anyone who has hold a dis- j tinguished position like Lord Fisher that we cannot get rid of a great army, such as wo had at the time of the armistice, by a stroke of the penor by strong lan- guage. Yon cannot transfer a nation in arms into a nation at peace within 24 hours, or in the twinkling of art eye. The men have to bp fed. housed, clothed, and paid: separation alJowances have to be paid to their wives and depen- dents; gratuities and balance of pay have to be assessed and distributed." i Colonel Wedgwood moved to reduce the which amount, he said, we were giving as a final present, to General Dtnikin or General Yuden- iich. 1
