FIDELITY TO PAROLE

Judge Grain of the Court of
General Sessions has Just held a
reception more worthy of note
than any ball, banquet or other
high function of the season. 1t
was he'd in his courtroom at night.
In response to its summons came
1T men and women, some old,
some young everyone of whom was
victor over some form of
temptation, an example of what
human faith can do to help human
weakness t. redeem itself and be
strong.
Each of the company had been
convicted of some first offense
against the law. and each had been
permitted to go out on parole of
future gond behavior. Each had
kept the faith. The wolrd as
as good as q bond. Those who
might have gone down in the
strugglehad found a way to rise an
fight again. They were as able to
report good work done and bright
prospects ahead.
Time was when no one was
trusted on his word save men of
high degree. Fidelity to parole
was deemed a princeiy virtue.
Perhaps it is. There was nothing
in Judge Grains reception to dis
prove Tx.

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE?
Cyanide Deaths i'll Maryland Object Of
an Inquiry.

Cumberland, Md. Jan. 5.-Charles
E. Twigg did not take the life of his
bride to be. Grace Elosser of this
place. neither did he kill himself.
Their deaths, which took place Satur-
day afternoon in the home of Miss
Elosser, the day before their wedding,
were caused by another. This much
has been definitely settled as far as
the authorities are concerned.
According to Mrs. Ash, wife of
Twigg's partner, Twigg told her about
q week ago that Grace and her sister
May were at outs, growing out of the
established fact that Twigg had turn
ed his affections from May to Grace.
Il knew there would be trouble as
the wedding day approached" she
said "Charlie used to talk of Mays
hostile attitude toward her sister"
In the early part of Twigg's visit to
the Elosser home the girls mother
heard them laughing and talking in
the parlor. An hour later she came
into the room. Twigg and Miss Elos-
ser were found sitting on a settee
apart from each other, dead. The
autopsy showed their deaths had been
caused by, cyanide poisoning.
