feature of the case that gives remark
able ending. Several years before a
young man named Gawtry had been
tried and convicted of committing these
very crimes. He was torn from a
young wife and babe and sent to prison
for Il term of fifteen years. When Har-

there. A man standing by me said to
another, Hes the image af Gawtry,

trys trial and had confused the two
men. Had not Barker committed the
crimes for which Gawtry was suffer-

The first thing did in the matter
was to communicate with Gawtry's
wife to tell her that there was strong
probability of proving her husbands
innocence, news which she conveyed
herself to her husband.

1t Is not wise to provide her with too
much bedding. for she will make the
nest so deep that the little pigs will
get tangled up IN the straw and the
SOW may lie on them. Four or five
inches Of short straw is sufficient. BY
all mems place the bedding In one cor
