Apparently there was 10 further motive
FOR the murder than the mere lust of
killing. Forsbrey went into the Jewelry

According TO the father. 1t was abou,
six years ago that he first became un-
ruly, when he eyinced IA taste for the
gang" AMI late hours. Mr.. Forsbrey
told him then that he must cut out the
sang and late hours or leave the house,
For a while after that he Settled down
to steady work. but the old feeling OF
restlessness overcame him. and he
hearkened to the call OF the night life
and crime. He went to Alabama and
the next thing his family heard OF hin,
he was under arrest charged with
burglary In Fort Payne. Lack OF evil
dence saved him from the penitentiary.
He made several attempts after that 10

Narvis. that we formed a new plane
of things at that time. We went to work
earnestly to put the order on a sound
and solid basis. First, we raised the
rates of insurance, but other fraternal

We would not live because we had TO
raise our rates. But later they found
that we had simply changed from an
impossible basis, with dead low rates
rates so dead low that the order was
going down hill fast-to n basis upon
which we could build securely. And since
that time the other organizations have
found it necessary to readjust in much
