Born and reared among the cultured and
refined leap frog aristocracy of Arkan-

the progress Of his professional advance

Williams when that distinguished jurist
was a district judge for the State Of Ar
kansas. He is now United States dis
trict judge Judge Williams has shown
by late decisions that he places low es-
Innate on the ability OF the Kansas legis

necessarily doubts the ability of the Kaa-

would be pleased to represent the good
people OF Reno county in the legislature,

Hutchinson, kan" September ~
4 short session Of the district court
was held Sunday to open the sealed
verdict Of the jury in the murder
case against Lawyer T. c. Clark.
This is the first trial in the famous
BOYD murder case, w, C., Boyd was
murdered here on May 10, in the res
taurant Of Mrs. Nellie Postlethwait.
At the inquest 1t appeared that her
Oldest son, Harry, had committed the
crime, but Mrs, postlcthwait made n
sensational confession, in which she
declared she herself had killed Boyd,
Harry later confessed the crime and
said Clark had furnished the weapon
and advised the killing. The state
claimed us the motive that Clark and
Boyd were rivals for the smiles OF the
attractive Mrs. Postlethwait.
The trial lasted a week. The YER
diet was guilty of mOnslaughter in
the second degree, i, c, Clark Is q
member of the Reno county bar and
has been known MS n writer on econ
omlc questions. He has wife here.

A very interesting piece Of excova-
ton is now being made at Hampton
court. where the pipes laid down by
Wolsey for supplying the palace with
water are being disclosed to llght,
The system thus uncovered reflects
the greatest credit ON the sixteenth
century engineers. The water sup
ply comes from springs in Coombe
hill, three miles distant, where 1t is
collected in condults, but it crosses
the bend of the Thames in massive
pipes half mile above Kingston
bridge, and then passes up the Home
park to the palace. The cost of the
original enterprise is estimated at
s25O,OOO and the pipes weigh fifteen
pounds per foot. Altogether this is
an interesting example of the thor
ough way in which the great cardinal
went to work.
