Fixity of Purpose.

The man who succeeds above his
fellows is the one who, early in life,
clearly discerns his object, and toward
that object habitually directs his pow
ers. Even genius itself is but fine OBJ
servation strengthened by fixity Of
purpose. Every man who observes Wig
ilantly and resolves steadfastly grows
unconsciously into genius.-Bulwer-
Lytton.

ATTORNEY BITTER
TOWARD WIDOW
SAYS MRS. HENkEL LoATHE0
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, WHO
FIGURES IN WILL CONTEST.

Attorney Washington |. Robinson,
who represents Mrs. Alice Henkel
Pennington in her efforts to break the
will of the late Peter Henkel. by
which she was left only $500. gave 10
the jury in Judge Hosmer's court FRI
day morning the reasons why Mrs.
Pennington claims a share OF the es-
tate.
The attorney was particularly bit
ter in his opening address toward the
third Mrs. Henkel. who was present
in court, blaming her for the fact that
Peter Henkel had cut of his grand
child with practically nothing. Mrs.
Pennington is a daughter OF Albert
Henkel, who until his death, at the
age of SO. was associated with his
father In business.
THAT woman fairly loathed Alice
Henkel," Mr.. Robinson told the jury,
"and she continued TO exhibit her
hatred even after the girl had been
left an orphan"
The contestants will endeavor to
show that much OF Peter HenkePs sue
cess In business was due to the wis
dom and foresight OF his son. Albert,
and that the greater part OF his for
tune was made during the sons con-
nection with the business.

SELF-DEFENsE PLEA
IS ANSWERED BY
BULLET IN BACK
PROMISES TO
SHOW THAT HEINTZ SHOT HOW
CROFT WHILE VICTIM WAS RUN
MING AWAY.

Michael Heintz, the Hamtramck sa'
loonkeeper. who on Sunday, June 70,
1907. shot Samuel and Herbert How
croft, was placed on trial Friday morn
ing before q jury In Judge Mandells
division OF the circuit court. He is
charged with shooting with intent TO
murder.
The shooting is admitted by Heintz'
attorneys, but they will attempt to
show that il was done in self-defense.
A seud OF several years standing has
existed between the Howcrofts and
the Heintz' and members OF both fam
lies have been concerned In several
fights. Ii Is alleged that on the day
OF the shooting the Howcrofts entered
the saloon. looking for trouble. They
were ordered away by Mrs. Heintz. but
refused TO leave, and she called her
husband. He claims that the men at
tackled him and that he was forced
10 shoot to prevent being beaten.
The prosecution, which is in charge
of James A. Robinson. denies the story
OF self-defense, and points TO the fact
that Herbert Howcroft was shot In
the back as he was running from the
saloon. The bullet has not been ex-
tracteo.
The prisoner is being defended by
Guy Miller and James A. Murtha.
On the same day that the How
crofts were shot, John Huber and Emil
Fleury stabbed several men In the sa-
loon of George Heintz. a brother of
Michael. and they are now serving
a term In Jackson prison.
