Free. He was born in Chambersburg,
Pa, on May 2S, 1928. His father, the Rev.
DR.. John Free, was a minister of pro-
found attainments. The Free family
moved from Pennsylvania to Mansfield,
O., in 1881, and subsequently went to Nc
Cutchenville, in the same State.
In early life the Immortal ]. N" was
known for his brilliancy and learning. He
was admitted to the bar. He went West
on the wave of the California gold ex-
element and several wears afterward re-
turned shattered in intellect.
His story always told in his compare
lively lucid intervals. and generally cred
tied, was that he had defended man
accused of murder with such success that
he was acquitted. Circumstantial evil
dence was against the prisoner. The tes-
timony indicated cold-blooded crime. ia
cob N. Free believed that his client was
innocent. He fought over every shred Of
evidence, he cross-examined brilliantly
and incisively, and then at the last made
an appeal to the jury which swept the
realm of reason and cold facts. The pris-
oner was acquitted. Scores crowded
around Free to congratulate him. That
night, after the trial, tne man who had
been acquitted came to Free, thanked him
for his admirable defense and confessed
that he had committed the crime.
Jacob N. Free fell from his chair. He
was found hours afterward. The hair was
whitened about his temples. The man
whom he had saved from execution has
never been found. Jacob n. Free became

Presidency, General Reyna Barrios was
exiled from Guatemala.
It was during his exile that he met
and fell in love with this little New

q YBIL SANDERSON,, the California
~ nightingale and widow of Antonio

Contrary to custom, she is not going
to wear tinsel and seek applause
from choice. Absolute necessity, it is
said. compels her to seek her livelihood.
When the beautiful singer finally mar
ried Tonic Terry, the son of the Cuban
millionaire, Tomasco Terry, it was
said she would never sing in public again.
Now that Terry is dead it seems he and
his bride had spent his birthright prodi-
gally, and the amount left scarcely
equaled the sum expended in training her
voice and providing costumes for her
while she was on the operate stage. It
is an acknowledged fact that her ward
robe was the most lavish of any prima

Sybil Sanderson is only "a to-day, and

great admirers
