SCHOOL CLOSING.
A Good Day for the People of
Saddle Tree District No. 2.
Reported for The Robesonian:

Reported for The Robesonian
Friday, September 9, was a
good day for the Indian people |
residing in Saddle Tree district
No. 2, the occasion being the
closing of the school taught by
Miss Lula Blanks, daughter of
Rev. James Blanks, together
with an ice cream and box supper
by the Sunday-school. There
arc only a few OF these good
people residing in this section
and they have made a brave fight
for school privileges for their
children, and have succeeded.
They now have a good school
building, together with a good
Sunday-school, and the children
OF the rising generation are now
enjoying privileges and have op-
portunities which were not en-
joyed by their parents. We
found the majority of these
people descendants of one of
Lumberton's most famous citi-
zens of the past, Hardy Bell,
whose ginger-cakes and genial
smile were the delight of our
forefathers. We had the pleas
ure of meeting and talking with
our old friend, Rev. James Blanks,
who has been a power for good
and tower Of strength among
the Indian people, and who,
though denied the educational
advantages of the present gen.
Grafton himself, has through his
own efforts reared and given to
the Indian race five public school
teachers, as we'll as preaching to
them for 80 years.
The exercises of the Gay were
opened at two O'Clock p. m. with
resolutions, dialogues, songs,

training by the teacher as wei
as faithful work by the pupils
after which some remarks along
educational lines were made By
this writer and Mr.. E. M. Smith
one of the school trustees and {
leading man Of the community.
The Sunday-school pupils were
then assembled and treated t
lemanade, ice-cream, etc., by Mr.
Dannie L. Lowrey, the superin.

containing the good things OF
life prepared by the young ladies
of the community were sold by

CORRESPONDENCE of The Robesonian.
Center, Sept. 13-The beau
tiful summer is over and
September is with US, bring
ing the first touches of autumn.
The cooler days are coming and
the lazying-time of the summer
has gone and we must get into
the harness and pull our loads
until resting time comes again.
How we love to think OF the
lovely winter nights which we
may spend in reading. If we
haven't already done so we should
select oar reading course and
cultivate d taste for reading,
which is an acquisition the worth
of which is hardly to be over
estimated; and yet majority OF
children, even those favored by
circumstances, grow up without
it. This defect is due partly to the
fault of parents; partly also to
the want in many cases Of the
proper means of cultivation.
For this taste, like many others,
is usually not so much the gift of
nature as the product of cult
walton.

DR. CRIPPEN'S
 DEFENSE OPEN
 TO CRITICISM
English Lawyers Declare He is the Victim of Legal
 Bungling
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.) London, Nov. 14.-"A victim of 1 legal pungling," is the epitaph thd' 1 might well be placed over the tom
 of pr. H. H. Crippen, when he
 hanged on November 23, for the mur der of his wife, Belle Fillmore, in tn, opinion of big English lawyers. Ev cry person who followed the murde
 case is convinced, today, that some where along the line of the defense a scandal is concerned. People ev anywhere are asking, Was Cripper. sacrificed that Ethel Clare Leneve might go free?"
 When Crippen was brought back from Canada, to England, English lawyers. who will bet on anything were willing to wager to l that he l would be acquitted. Crippen was found guilty in less than half an hour It is hard to find a paralle; for this startling reversal and there as no development during the trial, according to legal experts, that abso- lutely explains it.
 Here are some of the important to support the charge of the "pecu- liar conduct of Crippen's defense: Solicitor Arthur Newton, who prepar- ed Crippen's case, was we'll supplied with funds, believed to have been contributed by a leading newspaper.
 
 barristers in England to conduct the actual trial of the case. Instead ot doing SO, Newton went outside of London and selected A. A. Tobin, of Liverpool. Tobin is a provincial law yer with a reputation made wholly in the handling of commercial cases.
 He was handicapped by the method of procedure at Old Bailey court, greatly different from those of a small town.
 Solicitor Newton sent Barrister Tobin into court with 3, case but half prepared and the letter had but half mastered even the slovenly case pre- sented to him when the trial opened. When the trial of Miss Leneve. Crippens typist, was called 1mmedi- : ately following the conviction of Crippen, Newton, still in charge, em- ployed c. F. E. Smith, one of the abIest practitioners in the English bar Smith got Miss Leneve off with scarcely an effort.
 What the public wants to know is
 why Newton engaged an untried bar rister for Crippen, charged with mur- der, and the best counsel that. could be obtained for Miss Leneve, charged with the lesser crime of being an ac- cessory after the fact.
 Newton prepared Miss Leneve's
 case for Smith just as he had Grip pens case for Tobin, and the very first thing that Smith did on the
 strength of the case Newton furnish
 ed him, was to refer to Crippen, in the plainest terms, as a murderer" :" pr. Crippens appeal was still pend-
 ing and it is not certain but his own
 solicitor might be prejudicing his
 case. When the court of criminal ap-
 peals sat to decide on a date for
 nearing Crippen's appeal, Barrister
 Huntley Jenkins, Crippen's junior counsel asked for all the time the beEch could allow him to prepare his

 UNDiSMAYED Men Who Admitted Selling Votes Got Cold Feet
 at Inquiry

Glastonbury. Nov. 14.-The attempt of H. W. Potter, one of the grand jurors in Glastonbury, to prove that voters were bribed in the state cleo tion in Glastonbury, did not pan out in a probe Saturday night in the town hall.
 Grand Juror Potter had on hand several men who, he said, reported to him that they sold their votes, but when it came to testifying before the grand jurors none of Potter's men would say that they were paid The other grand jurors, all Republicans, then moved that the investigation be dropped for lack of evidence, but Grand Juror Potter, who is a Demo- crat, would not consent to this. He declared that he would get evidence later, and to enable him to do this, the Investigation was adjourned with out date.
