man Jeffries won't raise finger to
save his scapegrace son from going
to the chair. He's done with him for
good and all"
Chuckling aloud and talking to him
self rather than to his vis-a-vis, he
muttered:
THAT alone will convince the jury
They'll argue that the boy can't be
much good if his own go back on
him"
Annie's eye flashed.
Precisely" she exclaimed. "But
his own won't go back on him. I'll
see to it that they don't" Rising and
turning toward the door, she asked:
Have you anything more to say to
me, captain?"
NO." replied the captain hesitat

No man Is so hard that he has not
soft spot somewhere. At heart
Capt. Clinton was not an unkind man
Long service in the police force and
mistaken notion of the proper
method Of procedure in treating his
prisoners had hardened him and made
him brutal. Secretly he felt sorry
for this plucky, energetic little woman
who had such unbounded faith in her
goodfor-nothing husband, and was
ready to fight all alone in his defense
Eyeing her with renewed interest, he
demanded:
What are you going to do now?"
Annie reached the door, and draw
ing herself up to her full height
turned and said:
I'm going to undo all you have
done, Capt. Clinton. I'm going to free
my husband and prove his innocence
before the whole world. l don't know
how I'm going to do it, but III do it.
I'll fight you, captain, to the last ditch
and I'll rescue my poor husband from
your clutches If it takes everything
l possess in the world"
Quickly she opened the door and
disappeared.

CHAPTER XII.

Tho American dearly loves SEN
SatiCn, and the bigger and more blood
cu-dling It is tie better Nothing Is
more gratifying on arising in the
morning and sitting down to partake
of a daintily served breakfast than to
glance hurriedly over the front page
of ones favorite newspaper and see it
covered with startling headlines. 1t
matters little what has happened dur
ing the night to shock the community,
so long as IL satisfies ones appetite
for sensational news. 1t can be a
fatal conflagration, a fearful railroad
wreck, a gigantic bank robbery, hor-
rible murder, or even a scandalous
divorce case. All one asks Is that 1t
be something big, with column after
column of narrowing details. The
newspapers are fully alive to what Is
expected of them, but 1t is not always
easy to supply the demand. There
are times when the metropolis Ian
guishes for news of any description.
There are no disastrous fires, trains
run without mishap, burglars go on a
vacation, society leaders act with de-
corum-in a word the city Is deadly
dull. Further consideration of the
tarif remains the most thrilling topic
the newspapers can find to write
about.

Omaha.-Six nations are interested
In series of investigations now be-
Ing carried on in Omaha by the United
States government and collaborated In
by the governments of England, Ger
many, France, Italy and Belgium.
These Investigations have for their OBJ
ject the thorough exploration of the
atmosphere at height of more than
ten miles above the earth's surface.
and so successfully are they being car
ried out that a mass of information
concerning conditions existing as high
as eighteen miles up in the air has
been secured. Similar explorations
are being conducted in the countries
named above and when these are
completed all information gathered
by each country Is to be exchanged
with all other countries engaged in
the Investigations.
The rexearch Is being prosecuted
with the assistance of weather bal.
looms" which are sent aloft bearing In
attached baskets number of delicate
contrivances for measuring whatever
conditions are met on the trip from
earth through the clouds and back
again to earth. The experiments con-
tinue for two weeks, a weather bal
loon being sent up each afternoon
during that period by each of the six
governments. When the information
thus gained is properly arranged the
meteorological bureaus In each of the
countries taking part will receive tab
ulated copies.
The little balloons, which are six
feet in diameter, are so arranged that
that they will explode somewhere far
above the ten-mile level, the explosive
force being the hydrogen with which
the bag Is filed,
One of these balloons recently
reached a height of 1S miles before
bursting and at that altitude the tenn
perature was only 35 degrees below
zero, although at a point between nine

GETS FROM
THREE To
10 YRS

Charles w. Wsppenstein, es-chief
OF police, convicted Of accepting .
" 900 bribe from Gid Tupper and
Clarence Gerald az protection for
the Midway and Paris houses, was
sentenced by Judge Ronald this
morning to term Of not less than
three years or more than ten years
at hard labor In the penite ntisry.
Preceding. the passing OF SEN
tenee. Attorney Shipiey for Wap-
penstein read affidavits In which II
was alleged that one OF the jurors
had expressed a desire To convict
Wappenstein. On this affidavit, as
well as on the contention that the
judges instructions were erroneous
In part. also that there was a failure
Of proof sufficient TO convict. and
that there was a variance between
the charge in the indictment and
the proof. Shipiey based his motion
for new trial. which was denied
by Judge Ronald.
VIII a. Morris. chief counsel for
-
TO stay Judgment. and this was de-
MED. too. Morris then, without as
signing any legal reason. said that
be objected TO Wappenstein's being
sentenced because there were
seven more indictments against
him. and he did not want the state
70 have the benefit OF referring to
Wappy In the future trials as con-
Wet Judge Ronald oyerrnied the
objection as having no legal foun-
dation.
Pleads for Fine.
Morris then made a passionate
plea for mercy on behalf Of Wap-
penstein. after reviewing a good
deal OF the evidence and arguing
that no conviction should have re-
suited. Morris pleaded that a fine
only should be imposed.
There is the sentimental side In
This case. too" he said. You are

dressed Judge Ronald, "and | am
not ashamed TO approach such a
court with the plea for mercy for

much a humiliation as Incarceration

For an hour and a half Wappy's
attorneys pleaded for him, and

ferred 10 the wife against whom
there has never been a taint OF dis
honor. and that IL was as much a
blow to the Benn family, pioneers

Wappenstein's cheeks Redeemed and
his eyes grew moist
Judge Ronald, after expressing
his regret that In nearly every sen
tence some innocent ones must suf-
fer, said he was bound by the jurys
verdict and that to impose merely a
fine would be TO make the trial
degenerate into a farce. He then
imposed the sentence The maxi
mum is ten years and $1,000 fine.
The minimum is discretionary with
the trial judge. Wappy is out on
his present bail of ss7 500. pending
appeal.
