Year's night.
With the testimony of Mrs. fiurns,
who was at Miss Ndiqnand's home
when the chauffeur left ihvrc to
call for his cmplOyr-r at Dincs’ apart—
ment, the prosecution will rest its
case, it 'was announced last night.
Greer will probably not be called
to the stand by the defense. his at-
torneys said, in view of Dines failure
to testify drccily that Greer was the
man who shot 12m.
The liquor question and the tor-
getfulncss of important witnesses
mingled at yesterday's session. Jus-
tice Hanby denounced what he call—
ed an apparent "conspiracy on the
part of the Witness to keep from the
court many things that the com-t
should know."
Two policemen testified over the
strenuous objection of the defense to
a flood of ujierances alleged to have
been made by Greer soon after the
shooting in which he was quoted in
saying he tried to get Miss Normand
away from Dines‘ apartment hucausc
“the dirty rat kept her drunk," and

SHORN OF HAIR
M..-
Bobbed Hair may be
Cause
The police were called to 25 Mer-
w‘m street yesterday because of a
story that a strange man had cut
off the hair of Ruth Tobin. 14. The
attack was said to have been made
in the collar of the Tobin home. It
was said the man used a large
knife.
The police, after an investigation,
were inclined to doubt. the story.
\Vhile the police were incensed
over the attack which was said to
have taken place at. 2:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. the investiga-
tion of the case disclosed that Ruth
had purchased a package of razor
blades at‘a local store and may havc
used these in cutting her hair in an
efiort to avoid parental objections
to having her hair bobbed.
According to the original story.
Ruth'was taking care ,or a. sick
younger sister at her home. It' be-
came cold in the house and Ruth
descended into the collar to shove]
some coal on the furnace.
According to’_Ruth’,s"storY. a. man
jumped out from behind the tur-
nace flourishing a knife. Grabbing
the glrlfbyg the hair. he slashed a
large handful on. She [screamed
and thé man, dropping the. hair ran
out upon trio‘streeti through' the cel-
lar door and disappeared.
It was ten ‘xnlnut'es"a.fter _the‘ al-
leged attack that, the, police Werc
notiflqd and Patrolman Murphy was
sént’v to invéstigate. Although he
scoured the neighborhood. he was
unable to‘ find any trace of the’su’p;
