vas a fabrication, which brought
about Armstrong; confession.
A number OF witnesses from Ber-
rien county. where Wenger formerly
lived, were called to the stand and
said Wenger's reputation was nrst'
class. The witnesses were Dixon 3.
Scoffern. president OF the bank OF
Niles; Charles +. Pierce, = banker,
Of Buchanan; w. H. Andrews. prose
cutting attorney OF Berrien county,
and Sheriff Johnson and Roy Clark.
clerk OF ST. Joe county.
Deputy Warden Hollinrake testified
that Wenger shortly after Armstrong;

to him and requested him TO say he

(wenger) marked money, and that he
had taken 1t from Green to trap him.
that Mr.. Wenger told Hollinrake that
he would not do IL, that he would not
perjure himself for any one. Holm
rake also swore that Armstrong later
called him into his Office and said

ant points when he told his story.
He was followed on the stand by
Attorneys Cobb and Minor, who were
Armstrong; legal advisers after his
arrest. Mr.. Cobb said Armstrong IN.

of the board OF control In payment
for their work in awarding him the
contract the Wallersstein firm had
held.
Cobb said he believed warren's
story. Wenger was present at the
conference. Cobb said Armstrong,

A BOY WHO GREW UP.

Rollo was a very discontinued little
boy. He always wanted to do some.
thing lse. but his greatest trouble was
that he wanted to be grown up "'stead
Of just little boy"
That day he had cried and fretted
all day because he couldn't grow w
right away. That night scarcely had
he fallen asleep before a funny old
woman came riding on a broomstick
right in the window. She gave him
some powders, telling him they would
make him grow right away.
Rollo eagerly swallowed the pow
ders, Immediately becoming big and
handsome young man. Away he went
to his father to show him how he had
grown.
my, that's fine!" said his father.
you can now go to work In my fac
tory, for since you've grown up you
must earn your own living"
Rollo worked one day. The next
he only half-heartedly attended to his
duties. so he was discharged. At frst
he was glad of II. He liked to be
about In the sun or drive his fathers
automobile, but when he got hungry
nobody would give him anything to
eat. They thought he was big
enough to GET his own eatables.
Other young men jeered at him for
being lazy till all at once he began
to wish he wasn't grown up. but just
little boy who could play when he
wanted to. But the old woman didn't
come with any more powders and at
last he began to cry so hard that he
woke I'D and found 1t had all been a
dream.
Nevertheless Rollo had learned a
lesson. Never again did he wish to be
grown up.
