people of his queen, Clothilde,

ership Of Zulma and Gondeman,
priestesses of the pagan faith, rise
to the point of revolt. The death
of her son, Ingomar, the sickness
of her remaining child, Clodimir,
and the early news of the battle
which is going against the Franks,
they regard as the vengeance of
their Gods. The clinging faith of
Clotilde. when she rtpholds her
God under the worst trials, is the
central emotion of the play. When
the news comes that Clovis has
been converted to the true faith
because his defeat was changed
to victory, and the work of the
priestesses is overthrown, Clotil-
de forgives them and they unite
in praise ofthe true God.

Hilda Schubert, who left her
home on Chapline Hill, east of
Wheeling, on the morning of Mon
day, March 20, and whose dead
body was found alongside the
road about half mile from her
home on the following Thursday,
was murdered by Oscar Perry De-
vore and Bradford Powell.
Unable to withstand the tor
lures of their consciences, about
May 1st, Devore committed sui
eide at London, Ohio, and a few
days previous Powell ended his
life at New Matamoras, Ohio.
The mystery surrounding the
death of the Schubert girl after
months of arduous work and
searching investigation on the
part of the local police of Wheel
ing, has at last been solved.
An affidavit by Sadie Devore,
the wife of Oscar Perry Devore,
who was also known as Samuel
Piatt, relates of his telling her
of the crime; an affidavit of Mrs.
| D. O. Heddleston. mother of Mrs.
Devore, tells of the desperate
character of the man, and an affi-
davit of Oscar Dieringer, who is
employed at the freight depot of
the Baltimore & Ohio railway,
tells of seeing two men and wo-
man on the road along the side
of the hill on the morning Of the
murder.
The mbat bf the information
was cleaned by Chief of Police
Clemans, and Lieutenant Bennett
both of whom visited the homes of
Devore and Powell. The links in
the chain of evidence showing
cOnclusively that these men were
the murderers of Hulda Schubert
were linked together by the police
during Investigations made the
past week.
Haunted by the knowledge of
their crime and in constant terror
lest the knowledge that they
were the murderers should be
learned, both men ended their ex,
iStence.
Bradford Powell and Oscar Per,
ry were both residents of New
Matamoras, Ohio, and both were
known as desperate characters
The latter part of April Powell
shot himself at New MatamOras
DevOre moved with his wife to a
lonely spot, located between Lon
don and Westchester, Ohio, hop,
ing in the seclusiOn there he
would never be suspected of the
crime. But the terrible deed
haunted him to his death, and
about the first of May he fired
two revolver shots through his
left temple. A bachelor friend
who was in the house at the time
took the revolver from his grasp
DevOre. however. set about his
own destruction with a grim de.
termination to succeed, and on the
evening of the day he was found
in a barn in the rear of his home
hanging by a strap, dead.
