How comes it that the evil which
men say spreads so wildly and lasts
SO long, whilst our good kind words
don't seem somehow to take root and
bear blossom? Is it that in the stony

ers can't find place to grow? Ger.

that the guilt could be placed on the

IN many particulars to place the guilt

Criminal Battle Between Attorneys
Closed in Superior Court This
Morning With State in
Victory.
CRAIG PROVED CRAFTY
John E. Craig Pointed Accusing Finger
at Marshal Mayne and Threat
ened For Time to Free
Defendant.

On the strength of his own testi-
mcny and his actions while on the
stand, Joseph Campbell, charged with
larceny of a pocket book containing
$2a from Mrs. Crumly. of No. %
South Fourth street, was this morn
ing bound over to the grand jury and
his bond continued at $780, The
case as far as the preliminary is con-
cerned was brought to a close only
after a stormy battle in which many
witnesses were placed on the stand
and interesting stories related.
Attacking the f1imsy evidence upon
which Prosecuting Attorney Theodore
A. Craig and his assistant Ed Nc
Manus were seeking to hold the de-
PENDANT to the grand jury and point
ing an accusing finger at Marshall
Mayne whose testimony was heard
with discriminating effect, John E..
Craig made a strong plea for the de-
PENDANT before Judge w. L. McNam-
ara and for time threatened to make
lis words of such telling effect that
the court room was divided as to
What course the Judge would pursue.
Case Presented Peculiarities.
But the case was one of such Pc
c,liar conditions that Judge Nc
Namara was held in his decision to
tho defendants own testimony.
which was easily the striking flaw in
the defense. The court stated that
Campbell had failed to satisfactorily
account for his actions and that upon
his testimony it was necessary to
hold him for action of the grand jury.
Ed McManus, on behalf of the
prosecution, occupied about half
hour in his arguments to court. He
6welt chiefly upon the actions of the
defendant after, and on the day fol-
lowing the theft. showing that Camp
bell was a regular Goal Oil Johnnie"
for a brief time following the. after
noon upon which the pocket book was
stolen, He also summed up the testi-
mony of the defendant and the fact
that it was contradictory in material
points to the testimony of other wit
nesses, who had no interest in the
case whatever That the mans very
appearance on the stand betrayed
guilt.

DAUGHTERS DEBATE.
Scions of Revolutionary Sires Don
War Paint.

The Daughters of the American Revo-
luton are getting ready for their annual
Congress, and the amount of red paint
laid in has raised the price of that article
apprecably. The Daughters, like some
other organizations of women, seem never
to be able to get away from personalities,
jealousy and petty spite. Women will
of men until they learn this lesson-to
quit fighting when the war is over.
Just now the fight for the President
Generally of the National Society is the
bone of contention, as in fact it always
is. The Administration" forces, so
styled, are supporting Mrs. Matthew Z.
Scott, formerly of Kentucky, now of Illi-
selves tine Conservatives have named a
Mrs. Story (Mrs. William Cummings
Story of New York. The Conserva-
tives, as they style themselves, but the In
surgents, as they are called by everybody
else, are under the leadership of Miss
Mary Desha, one of the Founders"
of the society. Miss Desha styling her
self Conservative" is funny enough
She doesn't know the meaning of the
word. She is positively the most unre-
constructed rebel that ever hung a Con-
federate flag above her bed to dream
under. The Daughters would have a rea-
sonably peaceful time if Miss Desha didn't
stay awake nights to concoct plans where
by anybody who loves the American Flag
could be legislated out of office, and as
for having anybody of that patriotic
nature filling an Office in the d. A. R
why, you can just smell the birthstone
right off when Miss Desha hears the
suggestion. There are any number of
Southern women in the d. A. r., but they
are sweet and gentle and forgiving; and,
anyhow, they are not thinking of politics !;
they want a good strong society of the
D. A. r., and are working for that, and
want to let old issues die. But not any
of that for Miss Desha.
