Home Trade Hints.

A dollar spent at home stays around
home and may return to you after a
few days.
If you want to make your own town
prosperous you will spend your money
in your own town in preference to
some bigger burg long way off.
The way to start wagon out of the
mire Is for all the horses to pull to-
gether. One way to pull together is
for everybody to patronize home indus
tries whenever possible.
Money in circulation around the
town you live in is much better for
your interests than the same money
in circulation in city hundreds OF
miles away. Your dollar is lonesome
in big city, but 1t has friends around
home and Is therefore more useful.

PENDANT was an old-timer. The district
attorney was looking for conviction
of murder in the first degree, the pun

have his doubts. In order to go to

doubt as to whether, after all, con-
viction of murder in abe first degree
could be secured.

the lawyer.

ly fit subject for an insane asylum.
They called him the crazy cop"
But the district attorney won his
point. The jury found the policeman
guilty of murder in the first degree.
There was nothing else for the judge
to do than to sentence the man to be
electrocuted at Sing Sing. Ennis heard
the sentence and acted as though he
did not know what was happening
They took him to Sing Sing. He was
weak and broken in health. He was
placed in one of the steel cages in the
death house and there the man sat, In
almost utter silence, for nearly two
years, while his case was being passed
upon by the highest court in the state.
During all these days and months
while Ennis was confined in the death
house he never spoke to one OF the
other condemned men. Although they
tried their best to entertain the con-
victed policeman he never spoke to
them. When the warden and the keep
ers attempted to draw him into con-
versation Ennis would humble some
thing that they could not understand.
He would sit all day and long into the
night, always in crouching position.
When once week they would open
his cell door and tell him to step out
side that he might be bathed and
shaved, he would hobble about as IL
he was wild beast. But never a
word did he utter, At first he refused
to taste food. After while he ate,
but sparingly only. He wasted away
terribly.
The Chloroform Test.
DR.. Irvine, the expert physician of
the prison, was among the few who
seemed to be in doubt as to whether
Ennis mind was really affected or not.
His case was widely discussed among
experts, but here was kind of in
sanity that was up to that time prac-
tically unknown.
One day there came word from AL
bany that the court of appeals had
confirmed the sentence and conviction
sentence must be carried out accord
ing to law. Warden johnson was puz-
zled.
Warden Johnson, who is a very con-
scientiohs man, reported to the gov
ernor and the latter, in order that no
injustice should be done and an in
sane man made to suffer the death
penalty, appointed commission COM
posed of leading experts in insanity.

at Ennis. They questioned the ward

IF we can only get his mind off

is shamming we can find it out only
by getting his mind off the sub
ject."
They carried Ennis out of the death
house and up to the operating room in
the hospital inside Of the prison walls
There they placed him on an operat
ing table and the chloroform was ad
ministered. They gave him small

crime. She did the killing, nothing
else. That is our defense!"
Thorn went on the witness stand
and told the story just as Mr.. Howe
had outlined it to me. But the jury
did not believe him, and convicted the
barber of murder in the first degree
