From that he en- oo,intered, he said, he still suffered Another witness was Miss Elizabeth Nolan, former fiancee of Frank Brinkamp, wco in an affidavit charged that her in .t nded husband had made statements on hls death bed virtually charging his step mother with having "done away with him. :"

The Sunshine society gave its annual
Thanksgiving dinner to the newsboys
and messenger boys Of FL Paso Thurs

the badges had been distributed 81

cafeteria at full speed, yelling as they
ran. Then the president OF the sun

patiently along on crutches. dragging

as joyful as the others. A poor old
