TI7OM THORNTON'S CASE was
L before the L. s. supreme court
Friday on an appeal from the judg-
ment OF Judge Pdrker's court which
found him guilty OF the murder Of his
brother-in law, Orton, in Bartlesville.
The proceeding took the very unusual
course of a confession Of error being
filed by the solicitor general. The
case is of no exceptional interest, but
the confession OF error on the part Of
the government is of very rare occur
renee, and has very seldom, if ever, hap
pencil under similar circumstances in
this court. Exception was taken by
defendants counsel TO the language
used by Judge Parker in his instruc-
tions to the jury on the subject Of self
defense, and the solicitor general con-
fessed that these instructions were
erroneous and the exceptions sufficient
within the principles adopted by the
supreme court. He says that under
the circumstances to proceed with the
case would cause useless expense and
unduly delay new trial. The
court has found occasion to re-
verse large number of the opinions
of Judge Parker, and this, with the
fact that the preceding Monday he
was somewhat severely rebuked in an
opinion by Justice White has caused
some comment about the court.

caught on fire. Mrs Alden and Mrs.
Lucas noticed the fire and gave the
alarm and Immediately went to the
rescue. The flames consumed nearly
all the clothing on the child before it
could be removed, and death resulted
at SO'clock from the effects OF breath
ing the flames. Late in the afternoon
little Charley was at the store of Al

Under tho Willows.

Hero used to sit and listen for the patter of her
feet,
For tho tiny hands to pound upon the door;
But the icy hand of death has touched the forehead
of my sweet,
And the baby voice is h"shed forevermore.
Angels keep my baby,
Where the willows wave;
Where with each recurring spring
Feathered warbers come and sing,
To a little Western woodland now my memory
sadly turns.
Where the summer wild rose scents the. silent
gloom.
Where a busy little brook is singing softly in the
ferns,
And the willow boughs are bending o'er her tomb.
Angels keep my baby.
Where the willows wave;
Where tho low winds sob and sigh,.
Whom the summer roses die,
And the autumn leaves are falling her grave.
Only now slept and dreamed was kuseling there
tonight,
Where my little one Is sleeping on the hill;
Even now when I'm awake. and the tears fall as !
write.
can seem to hear the music OF the rill.
Angels keep my baby
where the willows wave.
Where the winds blow bleak and drear
When the silent woodlands scar,
And the snow Is drifting deep upon her grave.

FATHER 4. II. HEWIT.
Career or the Man Who Is Spoken OF for
Rector or the Catholic University.

Rector OF the Catholic University.
Ono Of the mon most prominently spoken Of
as the probable successor of Bishop Kcsne rs rec.
tor Of the Catholic University in Washington Is
tho Very Rev. Augustine F. Hewitt. Superior OF
the Institute Of Missionary priests OF St Paul the
Apostle, better known as tho Pnulst Fathers.
Father Hewitt is now an old man and not in the
best of health, and 1t is very probable that he
will decline the rectorship IL It is offered to him.
For all that, the story of his life is exceedingly
interesting and deserves to be fully told at this
time. He is an American born and bred n
man of great learning and piety. and one whose
name is ndissolubly connected with one of the
most important movements in the Catholic
Church in this country.
Father Hewitt Is now n man Of almost II
years. He ls six feet tall and of commanding
figure. His features are flne and clean cut, de-
noting the strength OF character he has exhib-
tied 80 often. His hair is snowy white. He was
born in Fairfield, Conn, on Nov. %. 1920. His
father. Nathaniel Hewitt, was at that time pas
tor of the Presbyterian church in that place.
The elder Hewitt was preacher until 1925, when
he became the agent OF the American Temper
ance Society, in which ne earned he title OF tho
Luther Of the early temperance reform" Later
he returned to his work of preaching. some-
times in the Congregational. sometimes in tho
Presbyterian church. and continued to do so
until 1862. when he retired. He was the foun-
der of the Hartford Theological Seminary.
Father Hcwt's mother was the daughter of
Senator James Hillhouse of Connecticut. On
both sides he comes OF old Yankee stock. His
Christian name Nathaniel Augustus. and
it was not until he entered the Redemptorist
order that he took tho name of Augustine
Francis. by which he is now known.

TROUBLE OVER RETURNS.

Several People Reported to Have Been

New ORLEANS, April pa dispatch
from st. John Baptist parish states
that serious trouble has broken out
there over the election returns. The
report, which is from Democratic
sources. is to the effect that crowd of
negroes attempted to steal the parish
ballot boxes, and five whites resisted; !;
shooting followed, and the dispatch
states that several people have been
killed. The governor has ordered a
company of the Louisiana field artillery
under Captain Thompson, to the scene
of the trouble. 1t has now leaked out
that Captain Pharr's campaign COM
mittee employed $50 Pinkerton men,
who were scattered throughout the
state, with the view of detecting elec-
tion frauds. The impression now is
that good many ballot box suffers
will find themselves in trouble. The
Democrats are much excited over
the discovery.
