PHILIP ASHBY TO HANG
FRIDAY, AUGUST l3, 1911

In the case of Philip Ashby VS..
Statethe Supreme Court Saturday
affirmed the sentence of the lower
court and sentenced Ashby to hang
August Is, 1911, for the murder of
his wife. Under the laws of Ten
nessee the hanging will take place
at the main prison in Nashville.
The readers of The Chronicle
are familiar with the details Of the
horrible crime committed near
Coxburg less than a year ago. As
reviewed by the Supreme Court,
the evidence in the case is that
the Ashby house was burned on
the night of August Ia, 1910, and
that Ashby made no effort to save
his wife,
The court gained from the evi-
dence that Mrs. Ashby was either
dead or unconscious when the fire
started; that the remains of the
skull and hair matted together by
blood indicated that she had been
knocked in the head; that ham
mer was found near where her head
lay before the fire; that Ashby had
confessed to one of the witnesses
that he had killed his wife.
In giving out the opinion Judge
Neil cited instances in the court
records of the State wherein SINH
lar cases of circumstantial evidence
the death sentence passed by the
lower court had been sustained by
the Supreme Court.

Display OF Delaware Fruit

Delaware's greatest fruit exhi-
blt-the one to be displayed in
Madison Square Garden next
month at the United States land
show, when two Delaware apple
growers will compete for $500
gold prizes-it is now occupying
the attention Of the State Board
OF Agriculture ana ~ l-,e subject
of weekly consideration.
The Board has just contracted
with a New York decorator to
erect and properly ornament the
booths which have been rented for
the show to display Delaware's
exhibits.
For the first time in any agricul-
tural movement, all the big apple
growers, including those who in
troduced modern spraying and
growing in this State and have
since made fortunes are united in
the determination to make a show
ing worthy of Delaware's re-
nrarkable advance.
A custodian and demonstration
OF the exhibit will be selected by
the Board, although the apple
growers themselves will be on the
ground, looking after their valu-
able exhibits which also have a
cash value after the show. Who
will represent the board is as yet
undecided, but different men will
probably be selected from among
the young apple growers and
fruit specialists that they may be
able to explain properly to agri-
cultural inquiries the advantages
of Delaware.
Eugene Shailcross OF New Cas-
tie county, and ]. Leonard Soper,
o: Kent county, both graduates in
agriculture and horticulture, are
among those mentioned to divide
the time.

Much credit is due these gentle
men in this magnificent express
ion OF their hope in the future OF
Newark. Not only is the build
ing fitted throughout according
to the most up-to-date conven-
fences, but in style of architecture
it is worthy example for future
builders.

every particular with the best ia

ALLEGED SCHOOL "STRIKE"
NOT TO BE INVESTIGATED
Trouble at Mckinley Manual Train
ing Arose Over Use of
Text Book.

No investigation of the alleged strike
at the Mckinley Manuel Training Night
School. as reported yesterday. will be
made by the board of education or any
school Official The facts concerning
a misunderstanding in what text books
had been adopted for the night school
course in machine shop work were ex-
planned today by q school official in
this way:
1.-The Students Manual for Machine
Shop Practice" is book which has
been adopted by the board of education
for use in the high schools here, after
recommendation by Principal Myers and
the committee on text books. 1t is d
book which Mr.. HecOX uses every day
in teaching in the day classes. How
ever, the book was not adopted for the
night schools, although it's use is per-
fectly proper and optional.
Monday night, when the night classes
assembled, evidently some of the
students were under the impression that
they would not be required to get d
text book. and when they were told they
would be, they naturally went to the
principal F. q. Daniel, who informed
them that the book had not been adopted
for the night school, and that Mr..

CHARGED UP TO A FLY.
Police Justice Explains Mistake
Made in Prison Commitment.

CHICAGO, October 14-An ordinary
house fly caused four men to be locked
up in the Cook county Jail for treason.
Police Justice John r. Mcdonnell of the
village of Lyons yesterday explained the
circumstances.
The justice had been summoned to ap-
pear before the county court and explain
why he sentenced four men for treason
in lieu of fines as small as $25. especially
when the offense classed as treason con-
sisted in cutting some branches from
drainage canal trees. And the justice
didn't know.
He studied the statutes and found that
section 269 on the page related to cutting
down trees, while section 28i related to
punishment for treason. Then he remem-
bered that while making out the nit
timus a fly annoyed him. His explana-
tion is that while brushing 1t away he
placed his finger back on the wrong Sec
,ion and entered the wrong number on
the mittimus.
The county court is seeking further de-
tails.
