returned by the door Immediately after
the second shot He said he would
prove that White and Jett entered into
a conspiracy to kill Marcum and that
Jett fired the shots. this having been
seen by witnesses whom he would pro-
duce. He would prove that Jett told

shoulder released his hold and dropped
to the floor. exclaiming, oh. Lord. Oh
Lord: they have killed me-

across the street to DR.. kasp's office
where he died in a few minutes. He
saw Jett and White together a few
minutes afterward. Even was pale
and nervous. He was cross examined
by Attorney Golden. Ewen's mental
condition for the past two years was
questioned, and there were rumors of
MS threatening to commit suicide. When

why Do We Help Enforce the Law'

A Bennington tailor has been arrest,
ed for running lottery. He formed
his customers into club and they drew
lots to see who should pay less than
cost for his suit and who should pay
more. The tailor won either way. Lot
teries are illegal and immoral, but none
of us object to them unless they injure
us or our business. So it was in Ben.
nington. Complaint was made by rival
clothing dealers, whose trade was being
ipterfered with by the tailor's lottery.
How many of us are willing to help en-
force the laws against misdemeanors
purely on moral grounds as good citi-
zens? As long as the law breakers do
not interfere with us we do not in
terfere with them. But when they
do, that's another story. Many OF
our business men refuse to take any
active part in politics or public ques-
tions because they are afraid their
trade will suffer. You can't blame
them. The fault is that the average
human being is so unreasonable that
he will refuse to have business dealings
with any man whose moral or political
creed differs from his own. AS for
gambling-in one form OF another-it
goes on to our knowledge and often un.
der our eyes year in and year out and
few of us dare or care to object to it
unless it interferes with our business.
