Charley Humphrey lacks the initi-

George.
He is of the same low type, but his
intellect is not so keen and some of
the courage of the other is lacking.
He is 46 years of age and has never
married.
Before he confessed to the Griffith
murder, George Humphrey was con-
fronted with the facts of the Selby
crime, but the case had occurred so
long ago that details connecting
Humphrey with it were lacking. For
nearly two hours Humphrey denied
He admitted that his brother had
worked at the place, but otherwise
persisted in the contention that he
could not know anything of it on ac-
count of his residence being so far

then additional facts were gathered
by Detective Mitchell and the news
paper man, and it was impossible for
Charles Humphrey to deny all
knowledge of the crime.
The Humphreys lived near Dallas,
in the foothills for several years
most of the time within two miles of
the Selby place. The family consist.
ed of George and Charley and their
mother, Mrs. King, who was in poor

GOLD WIRE BRACES WEAK
HEART PREVENTING DEATH
Surgeon Performs Startling Operation
While Physicians Look on
SDellbound.

New York.-An assemblage of
physicians and surgeons, many of
them from other cities, were held
spellbound by an operation perform
ed by DR.. William c. LuskA new in
terror wall of gold wire was sup
piled for a distended aorta, the prin
cipal trunk of the heart arteries, as
the natural wall had been worn to
such thinness that it threatened to
burst at each beat of the heart.
To perform the operation it was
necessary to piece the wall of this
artery. Had the worn walls ripped
or cracked under the pulsations of
the heart while the operation was in
progress the patients death would
have been a matter of moments.
Under the conditions it was neces-
sary to use only local anaesthesia,
and the patient was conscious
throughout.

There isn't anything to this ru-

Ashland and to Dodge, leaving

AS to future plans north of
Forgan, there is still the same

the benefit of the doubt in favor
of the Good Old Town.
Garden City and Liberal have q
chance in not only the Wichita

line from Amarillo north to Gar

towns in western Kansas. They
can continue so if they avail them.

he was only a barefoot boy. This
operation was performed without the
