LAWYER DECLARES CLIENT WAS
 PROMISED IMMUNITY.
Accusation Is Made Against ComptrOl- Ter of Currency Which Counsel for Government Says is
 Without Precedent.

Pittsburg, Pa., oct. 26.-Following a sensational statement In the United States District Court here today the trial of Barney Grossmann. a Green County business man. charged with aid ing and abetting former Cashier J. B. F. Rhinehart. of the Waynesburg Farm CTS and Drovers National Bank. to de- fraud that institution, was suddenly suspended.

 Upon the request of attorneys for the government the case was continued till the May term of court.
 When counsel for the defense made the statement above given the United States District Attorney fairly shouted that he knew nothing of such an agree ment as counsel alleged and if 1t were true, the status of the case would be materially changed and thorough in- vestigation would have to be made In Justice to the Comptroller of the Cur rency.

 Before testifylng he received the usual warning but he elected. ueveFthe. less ts. tell his Atary Az he tsstiiied his other wife. known as Mrs. Geb. dfen sat near by. She had previously gone on the stand and testified to hei hnsband's general good character and hts kind treatment of her for she Is remaining loyal to him despite his con- fession of crime. and the fact that he married the Luther girl.
 Gebhardt testified that he had shot the girl twice, then fied and returned to his home at Astoria. l.. l.. the same home at which he was arrested on sum day night He said ne had not gone again to the vicinity of the murder un- til a few weeks ago. when he took a woman there to look over some land which he hoped to sell her.

Frolic of the Fairies

BY Margaret Matthews, Aged 9 Years. 1928
California Street, Omaha. Red Side.
The fairies were froliCking by the light
Of the moon. Vesia was one of the queens
servants. She was not at the ball that
evening. She had broken one Of the rules
Of fairyland, so Queen Crystal had told
her that she could not go to the ball that
evening. Suddenly they heard a noise.
They looked up and what do you think
they saw? They saw a little girl who had
strolled into the woods and gotten lost.
She came up to them and asked them IL
they would take her home. They asked
her where she lived. She said she lived in
Seattle. The queen sent one Of her err
rand fairies with her. When they reached
the town her mother was at the edge of
the woods hunting for her. The fairy did
not see her, but the little girl did. She
ran and jumped in her mothers arms.
Her mother asked who was with her. The
fairy noticed her mother then. 1t was a
rule in fairyland that II a grown human
person saw a fairy, the fairy whom they
saw would instantly be changed to a
human person. When the little girls
mother saw the fairy she was changed to
a human person. She became the little
girls sister, but none Of the fairies have
ever seen her since.

The bees honey is for two purposes, to
eat, and for one other thing which I will
tell you In a minute. There is a lady
called Old Lady Beauty, who goes around
In the day asking for honey from the bees
which they give to her willingly. and
which she puts In her basket. After she
has her basket full she goes home. There
she makes all sorts OF beauty spots and
puts them In another basket. At night she
goes out with the two baskets and a
spoon. around to all the houses In the world
Just like Santa Claus putting honey on
the beauty spots with the spoon and then
putting the beauty spots on the people
She is kind Of a fairy, but / don't know
exactly she looks like though. / al
ways imagined she was an old peddier
woman going along with two baskets and
a spoon. Anyway, when / wake up IN the
