DOYLE IS GUILTY
OF GRAVE CHARGE
Anderson Man Accused of Cut
ting Girls Throat, Found
Guilty by the Jury.
GIRLS STORY ACCEPTED.
JURYMEN PAID LITTLE HEED TO
THE CLAIM OF THE DEFEND
ANT THAT 1T WAS HE WHO
WAS FIRST ATTACKED.

Anderson, Ind, Jan. 2S-Aftcr less
than an hours deliberation last night,
the jury in the Shirley Doyle case re-
turned verdict finding him guilty of
attempting to commit murder in the
second degree.
The crime for which the charge
was made occurred on the night of
March 10, 1905, when the defendant,
then out of prison on parole, cut the
throat of Miss Ida Scott. the 19-year-
old daughter of neighbOr, while they
were out buggy riding.
The prisoner received the verdict
with unchanging cOuntenance and aft
er a few words with his attorneys was
taken to Jail. No case tried in this
city for years has aroused so much
interest in the community, and
throughout the five days of the trial
the courtroom has been packed with
spectators.
The closing hours of the trial pre-
sented a picture rivaling a dramatic
scene in some g eat tragedy. Every
available space in the courtroom was
crowded with men and women, even
encroaching upon the judges bench.
The principals sat at tables on eth
er side of the room, facing each other
Doyle was accompanied by his aged
father and wept as his counsel plead
ed his case. Miss Scott was accom-
nanipd hN her father and two WOmCr
friends. Throughout the trying or
deal she retained her selfpossessior
and only when the attorney for the
defense pictured her story of shame
to the jury did her lips move. and {
pleading expression came into hel

The criminal career of Shirley
Doyle began when he was IS years
old and shortly after he had married
a Young girl Of this city. He had
served seven years of a fourteen-year
term for highway robbery. His effort
to accuse Miss Scott Of attempting TO
murder him to shield his own crime
aroused the entire community.
The trial was Il severe ordeal for
Miss Scott, who has been unable to

suffered hemorrhages from wounds in
her throat She was assisted from
the courtroom last evening and is now

One of the indications that there is
a growing interest in agriculture is
the increasing space which the maya
zines of the country are giving to sub
iects of this kind. Not month goes
by now but that one or more of the
big magazines have articles on agri
cultural tonics. THE Awakening OF
the Farmer in October Atlantic,
should be specially helpful and sug.
gestive to the farmer.

Scatter wood ashes around the poul-

and the chickens will pick up the

1t would be interesting, nay rather
appalling, if accurate figures were OBJ
tainable as to the losses sustained by
farmers every year through neglect
of farm machinery. How much of the
machinery of your farm has been
properly housed and cared for for the
winter? Remember it is not enough to
push the machine into the shed after
bringing it from the field. 1t should
be cleaned and oiled thoroughly so
that rust cannot get in its destructive
work.

Plan work for the rainy days. A
good job for the days when the wealth
err shuts you in is that of going over
the harness, oiling and repairing it. A
majority of farmers are very slack in
the way in which they care for the
harness. Cleaning and oiling and re-
pairing weak places will make harness
last twice as long as it will under
conditions of neglect.
