Romantic island OFF Naples Has Had
Many calamities.
The island of Ischia. sixteen miles
southwest OF Naples. that has been
storm swept and inundated by tidal
wave, has had many like visitations in
the past The beauty and romance of
the island have been sung by Thomas
Buchanan Read
Here Ischla smiles

And yonder. bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits.
Her sapphire gates
Beguiling to her bright estates.
Ischia is the largest of the islands
near Naples, being about nineteen
miles in circumference. 1t has a pop
ulation of about 10000. principally en-
gagged In the cultivation of the vine,
while some of them are fishermen.
The scenery is very beautiful. and the
island is favorte resort of tourists.
The entire island, ii is said may be
regarded as huge volcano, and 1t has
suffered frequent seismic disasters.
In consequence of one eruption it was
deserted in the fifth century II. @. by
the majority Of its Greek inhabitants.
There were continued earthquakes In
Ischia In 1906 and such a panic re-
suited that the Italian government
sent two warships to take the inhab-
itants away. The entire population
camped out for some weeks
The island has had stormy history
apart from the frequent natural disas-
tiers. 1t was devastated by the Sara

THANKSGIVING BIRD
WILL Be PLENTIFUL
is Gained That Birds viii Sell For
rs Cents About Thanksuv
ina TIme.

Indications are hat the price paid
for turkeys about Thanksgiving Day
will be in the neighborhood Of Is
cents per pound or trifie higher.
A poultry dea err said: You may
depend on it turkeys will not sell this
year at 20 to % cents a pound live
weight as they did last year. Ii they
sell at 16 or IS cents a pound, the
price will be entirely too high con-
sidering the unusually large yield of
the birds. Fourteen cents would be
fair price and ought to yield the
farmers a fair profit on their flock.
In York and Adams counties, Pa,
and some counties in Maryland the
crop Of turkeys is the largest for some
years.
A representfve of a Baltimore firm
of wholesale poultry dealers said: Il
have jus, completed a tour of the
large turkey producing sections and
everywhere the turkey crop is bum
per one. The Matching and growing
season was just right, dry and not too
cod. Farmers who made money in
turkey raising last year greatly in
creased their hatchings. The Matching
has been successful everywhere and
the birds have thrived wonderfully. In
some sections OF West Virginia a week
ago | found turkeys so plentiful that
they were selling as low as seven
cents pound live weight"

the time neither he nor the other
jurors have been allowed to read

Evening Post this week were refused
by Judge Clarke. who is acting as
news censor, owing to the article on
the Mysteries of the Law" a strict
censorship has been maintained owing
to the desire to keep the jurors minds
free from stories Of crime.
The progress of the trial has been
slow, the testimony, although given
by but few witnesses, having been ex-
tended. Judge Clarke has also been
exceedingly careful in order to prevent
improper statements from obtaining
place in the record, and conferences
with the counsel on both sides of the
case have been numerous and long
drawn out, recesses in many instances
following the conferences.
Leeeh Looks CarewOrn.
Leech, when he entered the court
room Saturday morning had a care
worn expression on MS lace, the smile
that marked the earlier part of the
trial being gone. His eyes had a heavy
appearance and many times he rubbed
them vigorously. Conferences with his
attorneys were numerous. after which
he would lean back in his chair and
gaze either at the jury or the crowded
court room.
He is still optimistic as to the out
come, however.
In answer to a question if he had

May and Jack Leech, the children of
the man on trial, seemingly did not
realize conditions. Both are under 10
years of age and many times would go
into the court room to speak with
their father. Seated on his lap they
would whisper a few questions in his
ear and then go back to the rotunda
to talk
The only time Mrs. Leech has APP
peared during the trial was when she
was compelled to testify Thursday af-
ternoon. She came to the court room
from her bed, where she was i'll, and
has since been confined TO her room.
A trained nurse is attending her.
The state began the introduction of
it's rebuttal testimony Saturday MORN
ing and the first witness called was
William Rheinheimer, a contractor.
who was subpenaed Friday night as
the result of the testimony Friday af-
ternoon of A. G. Strauss. Mr. Rhein-

Ely Martin, American vice consul at

paper, was next called. The eXamina-
ton was conducted by district attor-
ney Howe, who asked if Mr.. Martin
had occasion to go TO the Southern no
tel on June II to interview Mrs. Leech.
An affirmative answer was given, but
on the objections of the defence, Mar
tin was not allowed to testify and was
excused from the witness stand.
Norman NJ. Walker, a reporter for
The Herald was next called, and in
answer to questions of the states at
torney, testified that he had occasion
to interview Mrs. Leech soon after the
killing Of Mr.. Kohlberg. On the OBJ
jections of the defence, however, Mr..
Walker was not allowed to testify and
was also excused.
The state then announced its rest
at 9:2O o'clock
After a short recess, L. NJ. Clark,
T. & P. railroad man, who has lived
at the Southern hotel since July 8,
1905. was called as the only rebuttal
witness for the defence. Mr.. Clark
stated that he was in the court room
Friday afternoon for a short time. He
was allowed to testify and stated that
he was acquainted with the ballroom
or room at the head of the stairs at
the Southern hotel and said that there
were rooms on the south side of the
room. He also described the office of
the hotel, stating there were two
desks, some chairs and a stoye in it
in 1907 and that the furniture or fix
lures had not since been changed ex-
