Mrs. Kathryn Lawler, wife Of NJ. S.
Lawler, died at her home No. 511

The cause of death was enlarg-
ment of the liver. On New Years

She wae married to her husband in
this country, and the wild stories
relative to previous love affair
she had had with the accused man
in Italy, were absolutely without
Foundation.
Coroner Brady and DR.. N. F.
lTilton then testified to what they
had found when they were called
to view the body of the murdered
man. This was plain statement
of fact which was uninteresting.
Lena Gioffritta, daughter of the
murdered man vas then examined.
She stated tina. he first she ever
knew her uncle was when he visited
them about two months before the
crime. She said that on one of these
vis.ts her uncle had asked her faith
er for some money, no sum indicat-
ed, out her father did not give It to
him. She then testified that her
uncle looked "cross-eyed" at her
father. fN rh
During her testimony, the girl
kept fixing the times of certain
i
conversations or incidents, by plac-
ing them before he shot papa" or
after he shot papa The defense
took exceptions to this method of
testifying and thereafter Miss Giof-
| frita used the term, before papa
was shot" ~ai
She told about finding the body
of her father lying in the alley on
the morning of Nov. "a, and her tes-
timory developed no phases of the
case not already known to newspaper

At roon court adjourned until one
o'clock. Court Stenographer James
T. Close is having his troubles by
reason of the peculiar twists the
English speaking Italians give to
the language and because of the
rapidity with which they reel off
their answers TO questions, as we'll
as from the low tone in which all
Testimony is given. However, Col.
James Is veteran OF many wars,

ton, Eo is getting away with it
handsomely.

names to be drawn, court adjourned
until o'clock Tuesday.
When the doors opened at that
hour vast crowd surged into the
room and every available foot Of
standing space was occupied, many
women being among the number who
nave seemingly made up their minds
to hear this case.
The special venire drawn Tuesday
morning consisted of Charles Good
ing, James w. Monnett, William
Iwhipps, Neil ODonnell. George Dut-
ton, Mark @. Chase William Beer
bower. Charles Fowler, George
Blum, Jacob Blaich, Samuel Kramer,
John Huber NJ. c. Aye, Joseph
Shaw, Charles Gompf and Hugh
Smith.
Of this number James b. Monnett
was chosen aud th:s completed the
jury ranel 10 the satisfaction of the
attorneys. The men who held Giu-
seppe Gioffritta's fate in their hands
are: II. c. Gearheiser, John McDole,
Henry Reinert, Marshall Markey,
John Ransom, u. w. Hipsher, d. B..
Rider. James Fletcher. Albert Oborn,
Edward NIauutz. George b. Knapp,
and James n. Monnett
The court had in the meantime
appointed Victor Churches, a Column
bus police sergeant, as interpreter,
on the suggestion of John II. Clark,
prosecuting attorney. James Can
nel!a, of Dayton. was also sworn as
an Interpreter and is to act in COON
junction with the defendant and his
Iattorneys.
The trial of the case then began.
Seated with his attorneys, Charles
II. Justice and George b. Schfield,
is Giuseppe Gioffritta, neryously
watching every movement of witnes-
ses AMI prosecutor. He doesn't speak
with his attorney only through an
interpreter and seems tn have abso-
lGte.v 10 idea OF what Is going on
about him. With his thin, nervous
hands tightly clasped. his glittering
little eyes roam TO every quarter of
the court room and gaze appealingly
at the jury. rs they seem to ask
what move is going TO be made next =.
He is indeed a stranger in strange
land, unfamiliar with court proceed
ure aud is sad figure as he sits
mute'y awaiting the sound of voice,
that may be condemning him. while
he is unable to understand.
Mrs. Lucca Guiffritta, the wife OF
the murdered man, was the first wit
ness called.
Mrs. Gioffrittas testimony was
not especially damaging to the de-
fendant. She stated that she h
never known the defendant until
about two months before the shoot
ing of her husband. She had lived
in Italy, and knew there was such q
persoa as Giuseppe Gioffritta, hel
husbands brother, but she had nev'
er seen him until he visited here
about two months before the crime

LOU BOLYARD and
WIFE ARRESTED
Charged W ith the Murder of
Shad Westbrook.
Couple Taken to Mt. Gilead and
Placed in Jail-Arrest Revives
Interest in Sensational Case

A special telegram to the Mirror
from Cardington Tuesday tells of the
arrest of Lou Bolyard and wife Grace
Bolyard, of Chicago Jet, on charge
of having murdered Shad Weslbrook
in that place on the night OF March
II, 1904. The codple were taken to
Mt. Gilead Monday night and placed
in Jail. Westbrook was well-to-do
Morrow county farmer, living near
Ashley. He sold his farm and went
to Cardington March II, 1904, and
was last seen in Hugh Lissie's sa-
loon at that place that night. The
body was found near Cardington
two weeks later.
Whsl last seen, WestbrOok had a
large sum of money on his person,
the cash paid him for his farm.
When found, hole in his head
would indicate that he had been
struck with some blunt instrument,
killed and robbed and his body
thrown into the waters of the Whet-
stone, which at that time was out
OF banks, the low lands being flood
ed. The body was found in ms
backwaters in cornfeld half a mile
from the river.
At the time Westbrook disappeared
Lou Bolyard was working as bar
tender at Lissies saloon. Later he
moved 10 Chicago Junction, where
he at the present time resides.
A few weeks after the finding of
Westbrook's body, Jim Krack, of
Ashley, was arrested, charged with
the murder. AT his trial at Card
ington, Krack proved his innocence
and was discharged. The trial was
largely attended. At that time,
Sherman Peck, of this city 1t was
thought, knew some important facts
concerning the death of Westbrook,
but the matter was finally dropped.
Husa Lissie, the Cardington sa-
loonist, in whose place Westbrook
was last seen. was formerly a resi-
dent OF Marion. conducting a saloon
on South Maic street. The outcome
OF the trial of Bolyard will be
watched with interest by Marion
people.

The Cost of Living In America.

The Cost of Living In America.
What every careful housekeeper in
the land, likewise every spendthrift
purse bearer, has found out for herself
the bureau of labor at Washington now
confirms-the cost Of living has increas-
ed again. The bureaus statistics re-
late to wholesale prices. Retail prices
are now being tabulated and compared.
The increase in cost of 25S commodi-
ties in 1906 over 1906 was more than
6R per cent, and compared with 1897
the rise amounts to 36h per cent, con-
siderably more than one-third.
The study Of the bureau was extend
ed to farm products, foods, clothes and
clothing, fuel and lighting, metals and
implements, lumber and building ma
terials, drugs and chemicals, house fur
nishing goods and miscellaneous COM
modities. Only two of the nine groups
showed a decrease in price as COM
pared with 1905-drugs and chemicals
and farm products-but there must
have been some mistake about the lat
ter or else the cornerers of butter and
eggs have been playing a low down
game with the consumers.
The bureau of labor has made no at
tempt to go into the causes Of the rise
and fall of prices. The aim has been
to give the prices as they actually pre-
vailed In the market. In explaining
why it does not discuss the increase in
prices the bureau says:
The causes are too complex, the relative
Influence of each too. uncertain, In some
cases involving too many economic ques.
tons, to permit their discussion in con-
nection with the present article. It will
be sufficient to enumerate some of the in.
huences that cause changes in prices
Such influences include variations in har.
vest, changes in demand due to changes
IN fashions. seasons, ETC.: legislation or
dertng Internal revenue taxes, import du.
ties or bounties; inspection as to purity
or authorizations; use of su~bstitutes-as
Tor instance, an advance in the price Of
beef will cause an increased consumption
OF pork and mutton and, 1t may be add.
ed. a probable increase in the price OF
both pork n mutton; improvements ir
methods Of productions; cheapening Of
transportation or handling; speculative
manipulation Of the supply OF the raw
product; overproduction; unusual demand
owing to steady employment. of the con
sumers: organization or combination o,
mills or producers, thus enabling on The
hand q greater OF less control Of
prices. or. OF the other hand. economic,
in production or in transportation charge.

A. Schulke, of Langdon, Writes the ST. Paul Trade Journal Regarding
His Experience With Special Sales.
In June of this yea we held a carnival sale for fifteen days, which proved a
great success. We advertised extensively sending booklets and dodgers o every
one IN ~ county, SO the she vas we'll advertised. For u leading features 70
offered prizes for different days. For one prize W gave the best suit of clothes sin
the house to the biggest load that was brought in by me rig. There we're a good
many in the race, and 70 found that sixtyeght was the largestload brought in, so
he received a suit worth $780, Another of u features was a baby show. We
gave prizes to the four different babies ranging from six months to two years..
The first prize was s25 for the best appearing baby.
The second prize was$ $40 for the best dressed baby.
The bird prize vas SIS for the heaviest baby for it's AGE.
The fourth prize was $40 for the heaIhiest looking babv
One day we gave $40 to the farmer woman who brought in the most mounds If
butter that day. All these prizes proved a great success. I will say that you
must advertise your prices as we'll. and then be honest tin what you advertise. az
that will help the sale along We had all or goods arranged o. counters SO that
everybody could see them, and the prices we're all marked o. them. If there is
any merchant friend who would like to know more about this sale, I would ony
be toe glad to furnish him with any information he may ask.
