THE NERVE OF EYTIAGE
REMAINS UNSHAKEA

Louis V. Eytinge. who is serving a
life term in the penitentiary for the
murder of John Leicht, is man not
easily cast down. The judgment of
the court sentencing him to life i'm
prisOnment was affirmed last Saturday
when he expected il to be reversed and
had gone so far as TO arrange for
telegram informing him on what par
ticular statute the judgment had been
reversed.
Any disappointment he may have
felt is not manifested in the following
letter received by District Attorney
Billiard from him yesterday:
March q, 1909.
''Mr. G. p. Billiard, District Attorney,
Phoenix, AriZ.
Dear Sir:-ln view of the cOnclu-
sion of my case by the affirmation of
the judgment of the lower court, here
with request that you forward to me

such other property, / am today au-
thOrizing Judge Baker to secure same.
You will Of course recall that neither
the watch. ring or chain were at anv
time in evidence or were claimed. hence
can see no reason for their longer re-
tention. May l ask your early action
in this matter?

favor, l herewith tender my fun apol-
Ogy for anything / may have said re-

ton of exciting you more to cause you

sOnal intent to injure While tender
ing this as full apology, must, how
ever, reserve to myself the right TO
criticise such Of your official acts in
connection with my case, as may ap-
pear to be wrong This you will of
course recognize as simple justice.
while l shall never cease to pro-
test my entire innocence. at the same
time | shall not take any further steps
in the matter. but shall quietly drop
out Of sight, until. with the lapse OF
time, my innocence may either become
more apparent. or the injustice Of a
conviction secured on such evidence as
was mine will justify executive Glenn

During the business session the COM
ing election for school trustee was dis
cussed and Mrs. W. F. Deity spoke of
the needs of the public schools. She
referred in particular to the high
school school which is sadly in need
of more space for the students to work
in. She said that the board and the
teachers worked in perfect harmony
but that they were hampered in their
efforts toward a better school system
by lack of funds.
The meeting was in charge of the
department of Household Economics
of which Mrs. w. w. McNeff is chair
man. The hostesses were Mrs f l..
Shaw and Mrs. ]. NJ Swetnam 1t
was one of the best attended and most
interesting meetings of the present
year.

THROWING HIS FORTUNE AWAY

Throwing away what one has is not
always the only way to lose fortune.
Being unable to see an opportunity,
or to grasp it when seeing it. is more
often the cause of losing out in this

gish to make the best of time can
quickly improve by using Sexine Pills,

The new method Of identifying
criminals of Prof. Tamassia consists
in preserving photographs Of the
veins on the back of the hands These
show a striking diversity in the two
hands, but more important are the
differences in the hands Of different
persons, and these give unalterable
evidence of the identity of a criminal
arrested at different times. The
hands being SO much larger, il is far
easier to trace slight pecularities Of
the lines than in the minute prints Of
finger tips.
