 0F MURDER CHARGE
Accused of Staying Vest
 hOfen
ALIBI EASILY PROVEN
Boyette Will Be Held as Witness, Bond Being Fixed at $1000-Case Against the Chauffeur Who
 Drove Car Continued

Montgomery. August 3.-(Speclal.)- I. F. Boyette was today cleared of the charge of murder against him, which grew out of the shooting of P. J. Westhofen about two weeks ago at McGehees switch. in Montgomery county
 At the preliminary hearing Saturday before Judge M. H. Screws of the in- ferior court, Solicitor w. T. Seibels asked that the case against MT. Boy ette be nolle pressed. as it had been Montgomery at the time of the shoot ing.
 The solicitor, on the other hand. asked that Boyette be held as a wit ness and that his bond be fixed at 5000, to which the court agreed. It was clearly shown that the defendant was in Montgomery every hour of the afternoon on which Westhofen was shot. several affidavits' having been produced in court by prominent resi- dents of the city in substantiation of this fact.
 The case against Ike White, the Boy cues aWIO QFOVe the car on the afternoon that Westhofen was shot, was continued until Monday week, at which time the grand jury will in- vestigate the shooting. According to Whites story, he was driving the au- tomobile with Mrs Boyette as a pas senger that Westhofen was picked up by the machine just within the city limits, and that he then drove to Me Gehees smitch..
 At this place, according to the ne- gro. Westhofen got out of the car and walked some distance Into the woods. A pistol shot was next heard and the driver of the car said Mrs Boyette sent him into the woods to see what was the matter. The negro declared he found Westhofen with a pistol wound in his arm.
 Westhofen was brought to the city and was taken to the hospital, where he died about two weeks later from the effects of blood poisoning.
 It Is expected that sensational de- velopments will come out of the case, and much interest is attached to the finding of the grand jury on Monday week. Mrs. Boyette Is the daughter of Richard Tillis. the street car magnate of this city, and her husband was the manager of the Montgomery Cooper age company, with which firm West hofen was also connected.

the scene when the crowd identified
the distinguished visitor. "There was
an immense congregation that day in

over we stood up waiting a long time
to pass out through the rails. But in
stead Of dispensing by the outer door
the people all turned eastward and
flocked toward the altar, pressing
closer and closer up to the sacrarium.

REMEMBER THE LOVED ONES
Pathetic Religious Ceremony That 10
Observed by People Of tho
Isle Of ushant.

In the Island Of Ushant-the isle
Of Fear"-there exists custom prob
ably unknown In any other part Of
Christendom. When native dies
abroad or is lost at sea, his relatives
have a small wax cross made, some
seven inches long. This is solemnly
taken to the church and presented to
the priest, who deposits it in box,
shaped like cinerary urn, that hangs
on the south side Of the altar of st.
Joseph. This is called the PRO Ella"
cross, and Is supposed to stand for
the spirit of the dead. These memo
rial symbols are allowed to accumu-
late in the box till the next church
mission comes round. As these revi.
val services are held only once in ev-
cry four or five years, the number Of
crosses may be very considerable. A
day is then set apart for their solemn
interment. 1t is the great day, the
climax Of the mission. The church is
draped in black and crowded with q
mourning congregation. many Of
whom break out into loud wailing.
The crosses are brought from their
urn in solemn procession, requiem
mass Is said over them, and then they
are carried to the churchyard, the
iron door Of the tomb Is unlocked, and
they are inferred with full honors.
Throughout the year hardly day
passes but some pious soul comes to
sprinkle the tomb with holy water
and say a prayer before it for the
dead.-Wide World Magazine.

Gates the likelihood that this must be
so. because vegetation and the ground
covered with vegetation absorb water
and allow it to percolate slowly to the
lower levels, whereas on bare ground
the rainwater runs quickly away to
sea. But trees serve another purpose
in aid of agriculture; because, as some
recent experiments show, they act as
windbreaks and shelters to growing
crops. The distance to which the pro.
Itective influence of trees extends is
ESTIMATED at twenty times their
height, though complete protection.
such as might be afforded to growing
wheat in gale, extends only to dis
lance eight times the height Of the
trees. Partial protection is about
twelve to fourteen times the height.
They also check evaporation of rain

times their height to windward and
eighteen times to leeward, and pre-
