The favorite design of decoration was
to display from each window of the
building a flag or group of flags. and in
the business sections of the city there
were whole streets on which, looking
from a short distance away, it appeared
as if every building was decorated in this
manner, there were so few on which no

The Journal representative was
awaiting him on his arrival at the
idil, this morning. and had a short in
-crview with him. He did not seem in
he least disheartened at being locked
up. and as for remorse, it was with him
a thing unheard of. AS he entered the
Jail, he had more the air of a man
ABOUT To enjoy vacation than one be-
'cre whom the prison doors of Thorn
aston were yawning. To a request that
ne sit for his photograph he cheerfully
complied but begged the privilege of
sticking up" by combing his hair and
pulling up his necktie before posing.
He does not seem to consider for a
minute the enormity of his crime, and
when at his home after the shooting,
lis mother reproached him for bring
ing such trouble upon the family he
replied:
ITS all right. l did just right
Different versions of the shooting are
being reported One is that Ed had
drawn knife and threatened Orrin,
whereupon the latter seized the gun
and shot him as he entered the
kitchen door. Another is that Orrin
had key of cider in his fathers cell
lar. and that yesterday Edward took
a large quantity of it.
When Orrin discovered this here was
a row, which resulted in Orrin receiv-
ing a thrashing at the hands of Ed
ward
Later on Edward went to Orrin's
mouse, and when he forced open the
door was shot through the heart
That Orrin received a thrashing there
IS no doubt as black eye worn by
him testities to the fact. He was three
years younger than Orrin, but larger.
and according to report made a prac-
tiee of whipping him whenever they
got drunk.
1t is also said that Orrin had repeat
eddy told Ed that he would kill him if
ne DID not stop drinking. and now that
he has carried his threat into execution
ne is evidently satisfied with himself
and thinks he has done a good thing.
