STOKES UNDER CROSS FIRE TELLS SOME RACY THINGS
 BUT GIRLS WILL GET EVEN

wanted to hand her a check but she | asked for cash, and I got it for her She had previously told me that she was the daughter of a Russian noble man who had been killed in Blue fields, Nicaragua, after amass1ng 8 fortune there. Her mother, she said had later married another man who had robbed and deserted her, and the mother hent went to live her her son, in Mobile.
 That was the last I heard of her until she phoned for me to come to the flat.''
 Questioned whether he ever prom ised Lillian Graham that he would marry her, Stokes said there had never been any suggestion of mar riage between them. He said he knew both Miss Graham and her sister, Mrs. Singleton, as they had lived at his hotel He had given Miss Gra- ham money at various times and aid ed in obtaining theatrical positions, but this was simply because they were good friends
 Stokes said that he thought Miss Graham remained at his farm near Lexington when she visited him there soon after he first met her about two or three days"
 Don't you know that she stayed only one night?" demanded Attorney Moore. for the girls, "and that when she found you were alone although you had told her there was to be a house party there, she left?"
 'I know she stayed more than one night"
 Didn't you make her sit down and write a letter exonerating you of any attempt at attacking her before you would let her leave the farm 2
 ''I did nothing of the sort"
 Were your relations with her per- fectly honorable?''
 They were"
 Ibid you not allege to several per sons that an adopted child of Mrs. Singleton, now iii a convent in Bel. gium, was really the daughter of Lil Han Graham?''
 "I did not"
 "Ddd you ever at any time have improper relations with Lillian Gra- ham?"
 1T did not"
 Here an argument took place be-. tween counsel as to the meaning of the phrase improper relations, but Judge Freschi ruled that the meaning was plain.
 Stokes was questioned about the mysterious countess who, he said, to warn him that Lillian Graham planned to blackmail him. He in sisted that his statement to that eff feet was true, although he could not explain why a stranger should take such an interest in his anfairs He again professed not to know her name.
 T stayed awake in bed many hours, last night, trying to recall her name,' he said, ''but I failed.''
 Stokes was followed on the stand by the policemen who made the ar rests following the shooting. They developed nothing new

PETITION FOR PARDON
GIVES UNUSUAL REASONS.

Jackson. Miss, Nov. G.-An interest
ing story is revealed in d petition for
pardon presented to Gov. Noel in be
half of Charles Ennis, sent up from
jefferson county few weeks ago to
serve a one year term for bigamy.
Ennis does not deny his technical
guilt. but claims that in 1907 his wife,
Mrs. Emma Adair Ennis, filed suit for
divorce in the chancery court of JEFF
ferson county; that he was a non
resident of the state at the time, but
received a copy of a Fayette news
paper in which the citation appeared.
Presenting that the divorce had been
granted. and that he was legally free,
he then married his present wife,
Esther Ennis.
There was no criminal intent on his
part. according to Ennis. He simply
took too much for granted as the di-
vorce proceeding filed by his first wife
was not prosecuted, but he did not
learn of this fact until arraigned for
| bigamy.

Colfax, brought to the Herald Office
yesterday some of the best heads of
wheat ever raised in the Palouse
country, and that means some of the
best ever raised in the United States.
The wheat is of the Fortyfold var
iety and stands between five and six
feet high. The grain is nearly ripe
and Mr.. Zimmerman states that
binding operations will begin in the
field by next Friday. He estimates
the yield at 40 bushels to the acre,
and as he is a very conservative esti-
mater of grain yields, a 45-bushel
yield would not be surprising. Mr.
Zimmerman recently cut about three
acres of the grain for hay, and re-
ports the biggest yield of hay from
that amount of land he ever cut
