NOT so BAD AFTER ALL.
Adam Skinner, Who Kidnapped Son,
Released on Bond.

Adam Skinner. who kidnapped his own
child Sunday, was captured Tuesday night
near Lawrence with the s-year-old boy,
whom he snatched from his wife's Gus
tody. by Deputy Sheriff Judkins and re-
turned to this city where he faced Judge
Dana this morning charged with violating
his restraining order forbidding him from
KIDNAPPING or molesting the child in any
way.
The little boy was left to spend the night
in the county Jail with his father by his
mother who had sat up the entire prev

PLACE FOR MORTON.
Former Rock Island Agent Head of
Auto Company.

Word has just been received in To-
peka of the recent promotion Of c. E.
Morton, formerly Rock Island agent in
this city, who is now sales manager of
the Standard Automobile company, dis
tributors of Packard motor cars and
trucks in Michigan and northern Ohio,
with headquarters in Detroit
Mr.. Morton left Topeka over a year
ago to go into the motor car business.
1t seems that this is the business cut
out for him because he rose rapidly
until he was appointed sales manager
of the big Standard company in De-
troit. In speaking of the promotion
Charlie Morton said:
1.-The Standard Auto company is the
largest distributor in Michigan and
Ohio. I am very proud of my new po-
pecially the salary is much better than
I ever anticipated having even in my
widest dreams.
In writing of the appointment the
Detroit News-Tribune had the follow
ing to say in part:
Charles z. Morton has been appoint
ed sales manager for the Standard Au-
tomobi'e company, distributors OF Pack
ard motor cars and trucks in Michl-
gan and northern Ohio. Since coming
here from the west, about year ago.
Mr.. Morton has held the position OF
city salesman for the same concern. He
is thoroughly convefsant with the bust
ress and enjoys a wide acquaintance.
MIR. Morton succeeds A. E. Barker,
who resigned the position of sales man
ager to accept an important post with
a concern manufacturing motor trucks.

of tuberculosis).
A mistaken impression has been
taken by some concerning the propos-
ed patrol of the country road near
the aviation field. Though a number
of officers will be posted along the
road they will not hinder traffic, says
Sheriff Norton, but simply keep rigs
moving that they may not stop and
block the highway

hearing during recess in the Stamey
trial this morning. The prisoner, wife and
child were taken into the courts cham
bers where the whole case took on the
semblance of a farce The woman in
answer to close questions by the judge
admitted Skinner had talked to her and
the boy several times since her applica-
ton for divorce; the boy sprang to his
fathers lap instead of the mothers; the
father fondled the boy and said he
thought the restraining order had run out
and the Judge instead of throwing the
man in jail began to decide to let him go
on bond
Just then Skinner turned to say Now,
Judge, this won't in any way prevent me

interest in the furniture destroyed on
which $4,000 insurance was claimed.
The house was the home of Mrs. D.
E. Evans, the sweetheart of Stamey,
who was arrested with him and who
died while awaiting trial.
Guided by his attorneys questions
Stamey recited the incidents of his ca
reer, including his marriage 10 years
ago to his wife whom he divorced a
year ago in order, he said, to marry
Mrs. Evans. His meeting with Mrs.
Evans had occurred at one of her visits
here from St. Louis. They became en-
gagged, he testified, then quarreled, and
in order to prevent her from bringing
n breach of promise suit he gave her
AL the household furniture they had
used at a house on Lincoln street. All
of the furniture was moved to the.
house on Laurel street, he said, and
the insurance policy was held by Mrs.
Evans
The witness also was questioned con-
corning the burning of his two livery
barns and answered readily. His big
barn at $40 West Tenth avenue had
burned by catching fire from across the
alley. He blames the fire department
which was on the ground before the
fire jumped to his barn, he said. He
had $4,000 insurance and said his loss
was $4,000. The witness said he was
in Norton visiting his father when his
barn on the corner of Ninth and Ty-
Ter streets and five horses burned. His
insurance was again $1,000
With the last fire Stamey quit the
livery business and purchased cement
block making machinery intending to
operate a plant between Crane and
First streets on Kansas avenue. While
getting things arranged, however, he
drove a wagon for the Davis Mercan-
tile company. When arrested he was
working for this firm.

MEMORIAL TO BILL NYE,
Movement Is Started by North Caro-
lima Press Association.

One of the features of the opening
session of the annual convention of
the North Carolina Press association,
which convened at the Hotel larry
moore, this morning, was the launch
ing of a movement to erect a substan-
tial memorial to the late "Bill'' Nye,
the humorist, whose death occurred at
his home in this state in 1896. and
whose unmarked grave in Henderson
county is the mecca for many tourists.
The movement. which was introduced
in the course of an essay on Journal
istic problems by R. w. Vincent of
the Charlotte Observer, was eloquent
ly seconded by James H. Game of the
Ashevi1le Citizen in an enthusiastic
speech.

STANLEY ON STAND.
Liveryman Testified in Own Defeuse
Before Dana.

G. V. Stamey, former liverynian, neat
ly dressed, made a polite bow to the
jury this morning as he took the wit
hess chair in his own defense to a
charge of arson in connection with
the burning of the house at 1929 Lau-
rel street, belonging to Walter Bates.
The movement caused a fitting smile
throughout the court room and not fully
disappeared when Stamey's attorney in
lnodUlated tones began to ask questions
which. were answered in a husky voice.
Perhaps il was the depressing inf1u-
ence Of the weather, for rain and hail
were falling, and electric lights fought
Il losing fight to dispel the gloom, of a
darkened atmosphere.
The purpose of Stamey on the stand
was to show that he did not live at
the house burned and that he had no

There was no perceptible emotion

Give could CLEAN nothing. Presently
he went on:
81 think whenever you see a man
trying to make the most of all that is

in this breakneck American race for
livelihood, you'll find there is some
woman behind it all. 1t is for her,

"And he did trust you"

Give had not meant to say it. He
was sorry before the words had passed
his lips. Yet it was the first lucid
thought that came to him as his
mind cleared from the first shock of
Anice's revelation. He knew how
fully Conoyer believed in this pretty
secretary of his; how wholly the Rail-
reader had, in her case, departed from
his life rule of universal suspicion.
That she should thus, coldbloodedly,
calculatingly, have betrayed the trust
of even such an employer as Caleb
was monstrous. He could not recon
cile it with anything in his own long
knowledge Of her. The revelation
turned him sick.
"You despise me, don't your" she
asked. There was no shame, no fai-
tering in her clear young voice.

one" he stammered. CT"
"You despise me-" And now it was
statement, not query.
NO." he said, slowly, trying to
gauge his own tangled emotions, Il

/ don't. I should think anyone else
that did such a thing was lower than
the beasts. But you-why, you are
yourself. And the queen can do no
wrong. I've known you nearly all
your life. If it had been possible for
you to harbor a mean or dishonest
impulse I'd have been the first person
on earth to guess it. Because no one
else would have cared as I did. AS
/ do. I don't understand it at ali.
And just at first it bowled me over,
and whole rush of disloyal thoughts
and doubts came over me. But l
know now it's all right, somehow, for
it's YOU"

she said in that same enigmatlc I'M
dertone.
"Anice."
There was a world of pain in his
appeal, yet she disregarded it; and,
with face averted, hurried on:
"Would you care for-for the love
of a girl who made you wait until You
could buy her with fame and an in
come? Do l care for the love of a
man who holds that love so cheaply
he must accompany it's gift with a
Governorship title-?"
"And now" she observed, some min
utes later, as she strove to rearrange
her tumb1ed crown of rust-colored
hair before the tiny patch OF office
mirror land now, if you can be sensl-
BILE for just a little while, We'll go
