GUS army of half the strength of the

The safety Of the city is imperiIled

to enforce the wishes of the majority.
There is great need of more troops.
The present force of 0,0o0 is attempt

MARSHALL FATE
WITH THE TWELVE

and her unwavering faith in his inno-
cence.
When Mr. Marshall came to Raleigh
his wife came with him. When his case
was called last Thursday morning She
was by his side-the only woman in the
court room. When the case ended last
night she was close to him.
Not one minute during this long. tedious
trial-lasting some six hours a day-4has
she been absent from the court room.
No one in the court room, not even the
defendant himself. has followed more
closely or with greater anxiety, the prog
ress of the trial than has this little wo-
man.
There has been no playing ito the gal
lery by her. Was her husband attacked.
she displayed no Indignation by her de-
meanor, save perhaps a deepening of the
color in her face. Did his attorneys
score a point in argument or. evidence,
she gave no sign of triumph.
Patiently she sat there. day after day
quiet, trustful brave. Never for a mo-
ment has she lost faith in her husbands
innocence, never for n moment doubted
what the result would be.
jury. Her conduct during the trial has
shown that. She was not there to win
sympathy for her husband: she didn't
consider him an object of pity, And SO
bravely did she bear up under it all.
AT first people said she couldn't stand it
she was too weak. But as the days
wore ON each has found her in her place:
always the same sweet patient express
sion on her face; the same hopeful look
in her eyes. Never an indication of fall
tering, never a sign of losing 1eart.
She heard the evidence against her
husband without a wioc4; she was pre-
pared for it,. She listened 10 the argu-
ment of counsel prosecuting him. She
expected him to be attacked Then came
the charge to the jury. She leaned for
ward to hear tit meant so much to the
man she loved. Now thar too was ended
''Take the case. gentlemen. consider IL Q
evidence and render voar verdict accord
ingly, the judge was saying.
And now the jury We're leaving their
seats. The case was ended. No more
could be said Or ,inne to show the lnlo-
cence of him whom she had sworn TO
cleave to in life and in death His fate
was now with the men whose rctreating
footsteps she heard.
AS she realized it she broke down and
wept like child, with her head upon the
table before her, and her hand clasping
that of her husband. The eyes Of those
in the court room grew misty and some
how they seemed loath to go. though
court had adjourned
Woman-like she had borne it all for
one long week; had been brave as long
as bravery was needed, and now that
nothing more could be done she wept. -.
There can be no more touching example
of the strength of woman's love and
woman's fidelity than has been displayed
in this trial. f,.

COL. ARGOS VIEWS ON LYING
He Declares That It's Hard Work and
Unnatural,

Col. 1Yhos. NJ Argo is hardly orthodox
in his views ON sin. That is, he doesn't
seem to believe in original sin, in total de-
pravity, and in the born-in-sin-and-c
ceiveE tinAiniquEty doctrisl,. At least
that's the way he talked yesterday.
In course of his argument in the Mar
shall case the Colonel said
1T is natural for people to tell the
truth. Lying is unnatural. From the
very day the child can frame the first
word, its impulse is to tell the truth and
so it goes until there comes fear or hope
Of reward 1t is temptation that makes
men lie And besides, it takes considera-
Bile effort to tell a lie. A fellow has to
think a good deal to think up lie that
will be accepted and stin harder work
to frame other lies to support the first.
SO lying is hard work. and most of us
don't work any more than we can help"
