which a short time ago occupied the

says:
CDR. Crippen is dead and cannot de-
mand the new trial which recent reve-
lations indicate that he deserved on
account of the treachery of. his counsel.
The lawyer was hired by certain news
papers to defend the doctor, but it has
developed that their main object was
to obtain through him exclusive news
of his confession, which was anticipat-
ed after the expected conviction. The
attorney went so far as to fabricate
the confession and to palm it off on
the newspapers that paid his fee, an
offense for which he has been, suspend
ed from practice by the courts for. one
year The punishment SENS very light.
He should have been absolutely dis
barred. AS the judges now declare.
Crippcn's lawyer must have been his
secret enemy, anxious to establish his
guilt rather than to prove his inno-
cense in order that confession, either
real or bogus, might be marketable.
The same judges however, take pains
to reassert their belief in the doctor S
guilt, but the case, as it now stands in
England's criminal records, is not one
to be unreservcdly proud off,
There was really not much doubt at
any time of the guilt of DIR. Crippen,
but the facts set forth above if they be
facts, will no doubt cause many to be-
ieve that he was unjustly executed.

We hear Of tea fights, bargain store
brushes and matinee Jams. We find
women playing tennis, polo and base
ball. We find them driving over the
state Of Illinois in automobiles tracing
politicians and pleading for votes, in
fact, we find them in every avenue of
life, but it now remains for Devils
Lake to produce a pair Of lady wrest-
lers.
Now, to the ordinary individual, the
word wrestling takes him back to boy
hood days where wrestling consisted of
taking hold Of the other fellows collar
and elbow, waist hold or arm hold, and
attempting to throw the opponent to
the ground, but to those initiated to
the present development Of professional
wrestling, the idea is unique, and the
idea of the Devils Lake people that
they can obtain considerable attend
ance at such function, is probably
correct. Here's hoping that neither of
the damsels breaks her neck, and that
the only fractures Of the games are
those Of the hearts Of the onlookers.-
