Wife's Mean Trick on Her Husband

George Adams has good story to tell
on himself regarding how he became an
expert in the culture Of tomatoes Early
in the season a friend gave Adams a
few choice tomato plants, and he took
them home with view Of determining
how tall such vines could be made to
grow and at the same time bear. He
selected a place near the stump of a
tree, and although his wife protested
because she had chosen the same place
for flower bed, Adams won over the
protests and planted the vines.
He never knew until recently, when he
met number CT friends whom his wife
invited to dinner, that she had substitute
ed rag weed for the vines, and all sum-
mer Adams has nursed with care what
he supposed were his choice tomato vines,
and often wondered why they never bios
somed and bore fruit. He had boosted
that he had tomato vines at his home

COLBERT CASE AGAIN.
Famous Arson Matter on Supreme
Court Criminal Calendar
for Hearing.
EARLY TRIAL NOT EXPECTED.
Defense Claims Errors and Hopes to Sc
cure a New Trial for the
Aged Woman.

Appleton, Wis, Sept. "a Special. J.
The famous Colbert arson case will come,
up before the supreme court on a writ
Of error sometime during the present
session. The date has not been set as
yet, but as it appears the last on the
list Of the criminal calendar her attorney
here does not look for an early hearing.
On November % last Mrs. Lucille Col
bert was found guilty Of arson, after a
trial which lasted two weeks and was
sentenced 10 two years in prison. Upon
writ OF error, a stay of sentence was
secured and since that time she has
been living part Of the time with her
daughter in Milwaukee, and part of the
time with her son-in-law, Louis LANCE
of Fond du Lac. where she now is stay
ing. At the time the trial was finished,
it was thought she would never live
until it came before the supreme court,
Of the trial, it was thought, would break
her down completely. 1t is reported,
however, that she is now in excellent
health.
Claim Fault in Information.
Although found guilty by the jury, her
attorneys claim the information does not
state crime of arson under the statutes,
as the state selected the count guilty Of
setting fire to her own dwelling, which
Of one Isaac Thorn" 1t is claimed that
even though she did set fire to her own
building, she can not be held responsible
for the burning Of Isaac Thorn's. The
assignment of errors includes fourteen
different reasons why they should be Civ
en- a new trial, the first of which is that
the court erred in permitting Lyman E.
Barnes, who was in the employ Of the
Chicago & North Western road, to act
with the prosecution 1t also includes sew
eral assignments of error OH account of
the court denying motions made by the
defense; in taking certain testimony, and
in instructing the jury.
Anonymous Letter Circumstance.
In the instruction the court said: ga
great deal Of time has been taken up with
the anonymous letter. 1t is for you to
determine whether she wrote it. If she
did, it should be taken into consideration
as a circumstance only. The records of
the conviction Of Lucy La Blank (refer-
ring to Mrs. Colbert when she lived in
Milwaukee some years ago. was offered
as testimony. 1t is for you to determine
if it was the defendant who was convict
ed and if it was, then you should weigh
the testimony as affecting her credible
ity''
New Trial May End Case.
It is thought that should the case be
sent back for a new trial, it will be
dropped, as the general belief is that the
county will not care to stand the expense
Of another trial. Should it come up
again, however, there will be several
changes. Lyman e. Barnes, who con-
Quoted the case for the state, is dead, and
District Attorney Wilcox, who assisted
retlres from office after the next election,

handle the case for the state.
