hole. 1t will be remembere that Yies-
ley was found dead in the mines with
loose coal, which miners declare did not
fall from the roof, piled Oh top of him.
Ills wife and man who worked next to
him, Anthony Jemmltz, were arrested
when bullet hole was found in Nies-

From the Wilkesbarre Record
In the orphans court on Tuesday Will
liam Powell, Jr., by motion of his attor-
ney, George F. Loomis, was discharged
as executor of his fathers and mothers
estates, who died within month of
each other. Though William Powell.
Sr., started in life as a plain miner and
in his latter years was mine superin-
tendent ut a fair salary, under the Leis-
enrings at Upper Lehigh, yet through
careful investments in stocks and bonds.
from what little he could save from his
wages, his personal property, which his
son William, Jr., as executor, divided
among eight heirs, was S32s, 1922.
Mr.. Powel's commissions as executor
amounted to over $15, ,00c, yet he would
nor take one dollar commission. His
expense account as executor was over
81, 400, and this claim also he absolutely
refused to present in his account or at
the audit, paying every item from his
own pocket
Judge Darte in passing on the audit
remarked that he knew of no other case
on record but where tho expense ac=
count at least was claimed and paid.
Aud he said further that 1.-THE executor
is commended for the ability exercised
in the discharge of his trust and the
promptness and economy with which
these estates have been settled"

In some industries it is most difficult
10 keep the large quantity of machinery
used in good order. An easy method of
removing sticky deposits of grease and
dirt from machinery is widely en-
ployed in England. To 1000 parts, by
weight, of water, put about 10 or Is
parts of caustic soda and 100 parts of
ordinary soda. This mixture is boiled.
and the parts of the machinery to be
rleansed are placed on it, or given a
essing of it. This treatment quickly
loosens all grease, ~oil and dirt, after
which the metal is thoroughly washed
and dried. The action of the I've is. of
course, to form with the grease soaps
soluble in water; and to prevent the
Subricating oil, etc, hardening upon
the parts of the machinery when in use
o third part of kerosene is added.

John said at the trial that her son rob-
bed the dead man, and that as he was
under oath his testimony was false. He
committed perjury at each trial. Mike
John testified that he was struck over
the heart by bullet, which his razor
stopped, and that he was afraid they
would shoot again, SO he feigned death;
that when he was lying there Metzger
and Bowman came andabent over his
companion and robbed him of his pocket
book In contradiction OF this john
George, one of the Arabian witnesses
for the defense, said at Metzger's trial.:
