Gail hamilton wrote the Bayard and

explained. MISS Dodge is q member

thorne speaks for himself in this matter,

plete the story of Burkes alleged con-

who arrived from Chicago by the noon

the prosecution desired to establish,
namely, that Frank Williams and Martin
Burke were one and the same man.
When Carlson entered the witness boz,
Burke hung his head, and when the wit

fused Burke's face. The witness told

Haywood C0nant.

The death of Haywood Conant touches
us all with degree of regret tinged with
that intenser quality more often expert
enoed at the passing away of one to
whom we are bound by closer ties than
those Of mere everyday acquaintance
ship.
Under ordinary circumstances death is
condition sufficiently hard to realize,
but, when 1t suddenly assails one whose
daily life is vivid illustration of the
mostintense, active, brightest, most prom
Using and buoyant of natures, the effect is
indeed startling and profound.
This is the case in the relatively sud-
den death Of Haywood Conant. His fellow
lAborsrs in journalistic fields uncon-
sciously accepted as natural condition
the bright sunshine which his genial
friendly nature difused around him.
That CHEEKY, cordial oomradeship Will
always shine brightly in memory of him.
II is only when clouds come between and
shadow surrounds MS that we realize the
sunshine has departed.
Mr.. oonant had, in an unsssuming
way, due to healthy, me2ly, innate
kindness Of temperament, attracted to
himself the affections, (above the esteem)
Of all with whom he came in contact in lis
daily professional life. lis intercourse
with all was characterized by the most
courteous and delicate consideration. This
was his daily teaching and the testimony
he bore of what constitutes gentleman.
His professional career was very
promising one. 1t engrosstd his atten-
ton. He was most careful student of
