10 the intense modification of Mrs.
Brunson, who was present at the hear
ing. Jeweler Bevelston testified that
the watch valued by her ct SIS was
worth about 81: the sunburst, valued
by Mrs. Brunson at SIS was worth
about IS in the open market. the dia-
monds being paste; 81 would be fair
price for the bracelets listed by Mrs
Bfunson at 500, and the diamond ring.
which she claimed was worth $40,
would be dear at $3.50.
Attorney Radskin in his summing
up TO the court declared that the al
legged diamond sunburst was a mis-
homer; that cloudburst would be q
better name for it
Mrs. Brunson was terribly embar-
raised by the public depreciation of
the value of her Jewels. and tearfully
blurted out that she paid enough for
them to be genuine.
Justice Golding wisely held that the
evidence failed to show a case of grand
larceny. yet it was clear that petty
larceny had been committed He
therefore held Jim to the grand jury
for Indictment
Constable Elmer Smith took Jim to
the county Jail at Kankakee on Friday
Before Jim left he sent for Miss Raggie
Clingstone, but she would not go to
meet him. She was nearly as disgust
ed over the bogus sunburst as the
owner, Mrs. BrunSon. She declared
that fellow who stole cheap skate
jewelry and palmed it off on his sweet
heart as genuine, wasn't trustworthy.
Mrs. Brunson hasn't been out much
since the episode. She was seen yes
terday at the meat market, buying
some liver, but she wasn't wearing any
jewelry.

Rev. William futile, pastor of the
church, officiating.
Mr.. Higher was twice welded. His
first wife died the second year after
their marriage. Six months thereafter
he led Mrs. Sarah Loop, widow of
Hank Loop, to the alter. Some claim
that Mrs. Loop led Mr.. Higher to the
altar, but this matrimonial loop the
loop story is denied.
In his funeral address Rev. futile
feelingly remarked that Mr. Higher
had gone to meet his first wife in

and at times discordant.
Mrs. Higher has reIinquished her
pew in the Zion church. She declares
that If she ever marries again and her
third husband dies before she does, she
will have the grave digger read a
burial service. The ceremony will be
