The students of the high school were
given an unusual treat yesterday.
when Dr. Horace Reed of Decatur. de
livered an address before the student
body in the auditorium. His subject
was the African explorations of David
Livingston and Henry NJ Stanley
whose travels he characterized as be
ing the greatest explorations the world
has ever known. He gave careful
account of the lives of the two men
and in an entertaining way told n
their explorations into darkest Africa
He spoke at length of the career ui
Stanley. from the time he was adopted
by Henry NJ. Stanley, Sr., and hi>
name changed from John Rolans
Henry NJ. Stanley, Jr He told of his
newspaper career while connecte.
with a st. Louis daily, and of his trav
els in Europe, and his mission to Afri
ca TO find Livingston. His second ex
pedition was made in the interests .
New York and London newspapers DR.
Reed concluded his talk to the stu
dents with a statement of the fie!t
Africa affords for scientific researcl
and explorers.

was delivered to him by Thaw, and
that he had given it TO Lawyer Gleason

prove that the will is admissible at this

One of Thaw's experts. DR.. Charles

that Thaw was of uusound mind and
didn't know he was doing wrong on
the night he killed White on the Mad
ison Square roof garden.
\ feature of DR.. Wagner's eXamina-
tion was a hypothetical question put
by Lawyer Delmas. 1t was one of the
longest questions of its kind ever pro-
pounded in a criminal trial, and really
embraced a summing up of Thaw's case
to date Except for a reference or two
to the evidence. it was delivered with
out the aid Of a note or apparently any
preparation.
Practically everything that Evelyn
Ncsbt Thaw has testified to was sum
med up in the question. and there was
a reference TO a serious if not capital
operation that was performed on her.
There is nothing about capital opera
