the community it represents. He had
many acquaintances in Grand Marais

William Dowell was Minneapolis
newspaper man. He was good fellow"
and everyone on newspaper row, girls
and boys alike. affectionateIy called him
Billy There was grief among his
fellows when one day the news spread
over the great city that Billy Dowell
was killed by the maddened stepfather
of a girl whom he had wronged. They
cared not about the story of excuses
to which his good fellowship led him
story blacker than that of the murder
Gus midnight thief. They loved HIM
still and they would condemn without a
hearing the man who had passed judg-
ment and made himself the executioner.
The trial of Billy's slayer is now on in
Minneapolis and the leading feature of
it is the story told upon the witness
stand by the girl in the case. At Is she
was clerk in a candy store. Dpwell met
her there and, attracted by her pretty
face and graceful form. wooed and won
her loye--a love that was not weakened
by the later discovery that he was a
married man and "had many other wo-
men, He was old enough to be her
father. For all of that she didn't care;
she loved him still. This illicit love
match continued for five or six years
until one day the career of this
lecherous brute was suddenly ended by
pistol shot fred by one Quirk, the
girls stepfather. Not yet satisfied with
the sacrifices she has made for him, this
deluded GIRL goes upon the witness
stand and swears away her honor in an
effort to avenge the killing of her lover
And women IN the court room applaud
the story.
Maybe Quirk is not~much better than
was his victim, but, we believe, it Is not
to be found in the hearts of any twelve
jurymen to say that severe punishment
shall be melted out for the killing of a
brute who uses all the wiles and charms
Of "good fellowship" to lead young girls
to ruin.
