I. Smith of KiuKS t'ark to fii. ahead across the highway.
The car was going at a fairly gooi rate. The Gray's apparently did noi notice the on coming car imt 11 it wai upon them and they had no chanct to flee either to the left or right. Mi Gray was hit and knoi;ked to tne pave ment, the front wheel passing over ni; spine, wrenching and twisting it Mrs. Gray was also struck but In sucI a way that only her «iiklen wcri crushed.
The car was brought to a .stop \\ Ul such torc« that it hit the side of ihi gutter and the front wheels win right over the sidewalk up to wlthii a few feet of the Montauk RTmlonarj store. The back whet-l.s uloiie re inained In the street,

These sage conclusions are reached after the closing events In the pony contest which took place at the Com¬ mander's neauquarters, Chubbuck's Urug Store.
As intimated, Baldwin came down HS the Assyrian on the fold. Votes were as snow flakes in a winter bliz¬ zard. The only ones left about the llaidwin home healths were liie very aged and children too young lo walk or ride. Thus and so Jack Davies led home the coal black pony which lias been the object of so much child ish solicitude for the last four months. Led him liomi- with a new broom over .lack's slioulder. which is HaUlwln's saucy method'ol' iniiicaliiig a clean sweep.
The whole number ol" votes cast read like the losses sustained In the Kuro- pean battles, when told by th<' op poslte siile. They numbered four mil¬ lion, three hundred thousand. There may have hecti a lew that got away. Davies' vote was about ITS.OOO ahes^d of his nearest competitor. Anna .Malt hias. Third, Ethelbelle Vail; fourth. Kathleen Sullivan; hflh. Catlierint

I It has developed In the last few days I that George M. Levy con.sel for .Mrs. Bailey murder case, was present last Thursday aiiernoon wheu .Iohn Smith went inlo Mineola jail to see tiie State's star witness. Frank Farrell.
The developments connect Levy di¬ rectly with Smith and liis actions at the jail. The prisoner told District Lewis J. Smith on Saturday afternoon that Levy and Dr. aCrman's privatt" detective had accompanied him to the jail, and that the instructions were given him hy Levy himself.
According to John Smith, Levy told him to ask for a permit to see George Sprague, a three months' prisoner in the pall, and .Smith did so. Once in¬ side, however, and carrying a pass which read "Admit bearer," Smith told the keepers he wanted to see Farrell, and went directly to him. Smith insists that he followed the in¬ structions given him by George .M. Levy in asking for the periiiil in that way.
Attorney I^evy asked about the mat¬ ter, admitted that he had asked Smith to go into the jail, and that he liad suggested the directions.
I wanted Smith to see Farrell and was the only way to have it done."
District Attorney Smith would make uo slalciLcUt'LOuay as to what he in¬ tended lo do in the light of the devel¬ opments directly connecting Levy wilh the alleged attempt to bribe the star witness, but he has taken a great deal of interest in the circumstances.
Levy came to Mineola this morn¬ ing and when questioned would neith¬ er confirm or deny that he was coun¬ sel tor Smith. "Smith waa employed bu us to find out something about Farrell and lo Identify him," he .'¦aid. "He came lo the Nassau County .Jail and spoke to Farrell, and Farrell knew that Smith knew about''his past i-ecord and Farrell was afraid tliat his past record would be brouglit up al the Cai-man trial lo imiieacli his ired- Ibility. He therefore framed up this bribery charge gainst Smith, and on hia uncorrehorated testimony Siniili was indicted by the Grand Jury
"I don't think it would be proper for us lo throw Smith into the discard now. I understand that application will be made tomorrow before some justice in Brooklyn to have StuUh bailed. I do not know who is going lo furnish the ball, but 1 know he is going to get bail. I have started an Investigation for the purpose of find¬ ing out whether Smith did attempt to bribe Farrell. He absolutely denies ever making any such attempt."
W^hen Smith was brought lo the Nassau County Jail, Saturday after¬ noon, he demanded to see District Attorney Lewis J. Smith. He told hfni he had been brought to the Mineija Jail on one Thursday afternoon, when the District Attorney was away. He said I^evy and a man named Whiting. who is a private detective, brought him to the Nassau County Jail at .Min¬ eola In an automobile.
"Levy and Whitins told me that 1 would not be allowed to see Farrell," the prisoner further said. "They also told me to go to the sheriff's office and ask for a pass to see George Sprague. who is serving a three-months term. The pass, which simply said 'Adiikil bearer," gave me access into the jail. After I was In the jail I then worked my way in to see Farrell. I told the keeper that I had a pass to see Far¬ rell."
