IN PRISON FOR LIFE.
That Is the Fate Of Michigan's Ban
diT Holzhsy,
IF TIE NEW TRIAL" FARCE FAILS
The jury Oat Les Than al Hoar-Jeage
NllliGUas Sentences Htn a. oncs 10
the state Prison at MSrquctts-
he Nent last Efrntng.

pEssFNER. Mich. Nov l6.-"Reimund
Holzhsy, YOU have been found guilty
Of one OF the most helnous crimes a
human being can commit, and the sen
tence of the court Is that you be con-
fined .n the State Prison al Marquette
for the period of your natural lie,
from and including TINS day
50 spoke Judge Williams 81 noon to-
day, and thus Is the fate OF the cele-
braied bandit of Wisconsin and Nichi-
gan sealed. After the whole OF yestef-
dav. spent lu listening 10 the rather
tedious arguments OF the Lawyers, the
interest IN the case was not abated To-
day.
Court opened at O'Clock this morn
nag with the court room crowded 10 rs
fullest capacity Judge Williams al
once delivered lengthy charge 10 the
jury and the jury retired at 9:3h a. IA.
The crowd waited, and At 1928 the
jury walked IN. headed by Foreman
Kelly, who stated that an agreement
had been reached.
What is your verdict?' asked the
court.
1--WE find the defendant guilty of
murder IN the first degreew
A ripple OF applause arose from the
crowd, but the court quickly suppressed
It. The court then said:
"IIOlzhay, stand up"
The bandit arose.
"Have you anything 10 say why
sentence should not be passed|'
"No, SIR"
The court was then ready 10 pro-
nounce HOlzhay's doom, but his at
torneys quickly asked time TO prepare
a bill of exceptions, and the same was
soon agreed upon.
HolZhay was then sentenced TO the
State Prison at Marquette at hard labor
and solitary confinement for life. The
prisoner remained almost Indifferent,
his face becoming slightly REDEEMED
as the fateful words fell upon his ears.
His attorneys will at once take steps
to appeal the case 10 the Supreme
Court, on the grounds that errors crept
into the case from first TO last.
Many eminent lawyers, who have
closely watched the proceedings, think
a reversal will surely result and a new
trial be ordered.
The only man in the court room who
shed a tear when the verdict was an
nounced was Charles Flelschbein,
brother of the man whom Holzhay
murdered.
Sheriff Foley will probably take Holz-
hay TO Marquette heavily ironed and
closely guarded, on the night train.

Sergeant Webb was absent from his

of the month, and patrolman was

A STORY FOR WIVES.
It's Truth May he Doubtful, But Its Moral
Is Above Criticism.


A wife once retired for the night, worn
out and petulant because of her many
cares. and her husbands absence when she
thought he might have been at her side.
After a time he came home, sat down to
his desk and worked long and hard at his
accounts, while she lay looking out at him,
and feeling angry that he seemed wholly
unmindful of her. When he had laid away
slate and books she saw him unlock .
drawer, and take from it picture, which
he fingered lovingly over, tenderly kissed,
and then replaced. Her woman's curiosity
was reused, and she determined to know
more of the matter. So, while he was get
ting ready for bed, she feigned sleep. He
soon slept soundly, and then she crept from
her place, like thief in the night, took the
keys, unlocked the desk and drawer. and
found that her husband had been kissing
picture of herself, which was taken when
they were first married. Then she was
chagrined and mortified because she had not
been more loving wife, and went back to
bed with new resolutions formed. In the
morning she put on wrapper that was
clean and very becoming, collar and bow,
and carefully brushed her hair. When her
husband came in to breakfast he looked as
her, caught her in his arms and kissed her.
Then he asked the children if the little
mother didn't look pretty. She was wise
enough not to forget the lesson.-Christiap

Simon, tanner What power had Christ's
name on the Roman exchange, or in the
bazars of Corinth! None. The prominent
men OF the day did not want to risk their
reputation for sanity by pretending to be one
of his followers. Now that is all changed.
Among the mightiest men in our great
cities to day are the Christian merchants
and the Christian bankers; and If to NOR

get up and malign the name of Jesus, he
would be quickly sAenced or put out. In

to-day are the Christian merchants; and the
enterprises of the world are coming on the
right side. There was farm willed away
some years ago, and all the proceeds Of
that farm to 60 for spreading infidel books
Somehow matters have changed, and now all
the proceeds of that farm 60 toward the
missionary cause. One of the finest print
ing presses ever built was built for the ex-
press purpose of publishing infdel tracts
and books. Now it does nothing but print
Holy Bibles. l believe that the time will
come when in commercial circles, the voice
of Christ will be the mightiest of all voices,
and the ships Of Tarshish will bring presents
and the Queen of Sheba her glory and the
wise men Of the East their myrrh and frank
incense. look off upon tho business men

army, and led by such commander, and on
the way to such victory. If what have
said is true, then Christ is going to gather
up for Himself out of this world every
thing that is worth any thing, and there will
be nothing but the scum left. A proclama-
ton of amnesty goes forth now from the
throne Of God saying: "Whosoever will, let
him come" However long you may have
wandered, however great your sins may
have been, whatsoever will, let him come"
O, that could marshal all this audience on
the side of Christ! He is the best friend a
man ever had. He is so kind-He is so lovely,
so sympathetic. can not see how you can
stay away from Him. Come now and accept
His mercy. Behold him as He stretches out
the arms of His salvation, saying, "Look
unto Me, all We ends of the earth, aud be We
saved; for am God" Make final choice
now. You will either be willows planted by
the water courses or the chaff which the
wind driveth away. .........-..
