in advance and pills.
While their peculiar talents might

Ruth, from the first moment of Alfreds'

the Jail corridor was lighted by the sun,
she often placed her rocking chair near
the door of Alfreds' cell, and sitting
there sewed and talked TO him.

The entertainment concluded with
the partial hanging of paralytic John
Lanks by Dr. Slade. The physician
had but Just learned of the discovery by
a Kansas City scientist of the efficacy
of partial hanging as a remedial agent
In the treatment Of locomotor ataxia
and paralysis. He recognized that the
Christmas eve entertainment offered an
excellent opportunity for familiarizing
the public with this method of treat
ment and at the same time providing
them with a thrilling spectacle. Ac-
cordingly, a temporary gallows was
erected on the stage, and upon this poor
Lanks was duly hanged while the
lights were turned down TO a yellow
haze.
So realistic was this bit of acting
that even the little children shouted
their appreciation. The experiment
was signal success in every particular
except that it seemed TO exercise no
beneficial effect whatever upon Mr..
Lanks.
Then we all went our several ways,
feeling, as / also appropriately re-
marked in the Clarion, that "it had in
indeed been good TO be there"

aside from this, evidence of serious inn
port was not wanting. Here is the case
briefly set forth. Alfreds and man
named Jenkins were seen together one
evening walking along the road, ano
the next morning Jenkins was found
with his head crushed in, lying in a
patch Of briars. At the preliminary
trial before q Justice of the peace Al
'freds declared that he and Jenkins had
parted company near the briar patch
where the body had been found, but as
this declaration was not admitted as
evidence Alfreds was handed over to
the grand jury and was. as everyone
expected, indicted for murder and i'm
iprisoned to await the action of the Cir
cult court.
