Laporte, Ind, May 27.-Enoch AS
bury Stone, who deserted his wife in
this city last fall and was arrested in
Nebraska, was found guilty in Laporte
circuit court today and fined $40 and
costs and disfranchised for three
years.
But for one Juror Stone would have
been acquitted, because his defense
was a most remarkable story. He tes-
titled that he married in Chicago in
1902 and soon thereafter a man, whom
his wife introduced as her brother,
came to live with them.
For five years this man, Harry
Knott. lived with the Stones. Then
one day Stone discovered that Knott
was his wife's former husband and
that they had been divorced after 20
years of married life. in which time
the wife had become the mother OF
eight children.
When recalled to the stand Mrs
Stone admitted the deception but de-
MED that there had been anything
wrong in that time. Even Knots own
children had been taught to call him
uncle
Stone now says he will obtain di-
vOrce from his wife so that she may
remarry Knott, which, it is declared
she desires to do.

Episcopal General Conference in Balti.
more, and sorrow at the prospect of
losing the popular 'preXy" are the
mingled sentiments of GreencaGtle in
general and of De Paw students in
particular tonight.
That it will be some time before a
successor to DR.. Hughes as president
of the university shall be chosen was
signified tonight by President Robert
l.. O'Hair of the Central National
Bank, who is member of the board
of trustees of the university. He said:
1T is not probable that DR.. Hughes S
successor will be selected during com
mencement week this June. but it
would be conservative to say that the
choice will be made within year"
Field Secretary Samuel B. Towne
said that although the election of Pres
ident Hughes to the bishopric might
for a short time hinder De Paw S
progress he had no fear for the con-
tinued prosperity of the school.

ry Hall yesterday afternoon following
the news of President HugheS's cleo
ton in Baltimore. Vice President II.

arrangements for giving him great
ovation on his return.
Prof. William Seaman, head of the
philosophy department was among
others who spoke. He congratulated
the church upon securing DR.. Hughes
as a bishop. DR.. Seaman said that
while De Paw should keenly feel his
loss for the time being. he had no
doubt that the schools future was
brighter than it had ever been. Field
Secretary S. B. Towne expressed the
same sentiments.

taken to the platform and introduced

Fast Overland Limited Crash
ed Over Maze of Chi
Cago Switches.
MANY LIVES WERE IN PERIL

Chicago. Ill, May 27.-With a dead
man at the thru lie, the Overland
Limited, premier train of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railroad, flew
past the dangerous interlocking
switches at Byron, Ill, but, as by a
miracle, the lives of the hundreds of
passengers were saved.
The engineer was Albert Cauvins, of
Chicago.
At Byron, where the tracks cross the
right of way of another line, Michael
Nash, the fireman, noticed with a sud
den shock that the train was flying
across the maze of tracks, paying no
attention to signals.
Nash sprang forward and found the
old engineer lying dead on the floor of
his cab. Nash stopped the train and
the old man was taken from the en-
CINE and the train proceeded on its
way.

completed; to It's general fund, 81, ,27Si
to its benevolent fund, $500; and to
It's building fund, $4,S36; a total Of
6,47O. This is remarkable record
for a congregation in a city the size
of Abilene and the fact that it has
