20 people making the greatest num-

A few rules are necessary for abso-

boss presented to the Court of Par
dons affidavits showing that there
were material facts omitted or over
looked during the woman's trial. She
has lived among the Italians of the
vicinity of the crime for three weeks,
and in this way was able to learn facts
which did not come out at the trial.
One of the material points was that
Sonta was shot from in front, and not
from the back, as was testified at the
trial. When Sonta appeared at the
lola house the day of the shooting he
drst exhibited a roll Of bills, and when
be could not accomplish his purpose in
this way he drew a revolver. The
woman lawyer also produced. afidavits
that Sonta had to fee from Italy on
account of his habits, and that on his
arrival iii this country he began his
unwelcome attentions to Mrs. Tolla.
1t was also shown that Sonta's wife
gave Mrs. Tolla the money to buy the
revolver with which the shooting was
done.

WEATHER BUREAU ON CROPS.
January Weather Gave Excellent OPP
portunity For Farm Work.

Washington, D. C.-The Weather
Bureaus general summary of crop
conditions for January is as follows:
In the Southern States the middle
and last decades were cool, and the
monthly precipitation in portions of
the eastern districts were excessive
and damaging. While the rain fall in
the Central and West Gulf districts
was below the average, occasional
rains interfered with farm work in
Central and Northeastern Texas and
in Louisiana. AS a whole, however.
the month was exceptionally mild
and free from severe weather condi-
tions, affording excellent opportunity
for midwinter farm work.
Although the winter wheat region
was without material snow protection
during the greater part of the month.
owing to the absence of decided and
sudden temperature changes, winter
wheat escaped serious injury, and at
the close of the month was generally
in very promising condition. No com
plant regarding the Hessian fly has
been received.
