'To further bring the work of the

touch may be kept with the actual
farmers of Washington is the an
nounced purpose of Agricultural
Commissioner j. H. Perkins. whom
Governor Lister has chosen to head
the bureau created by enactment of
the last legislature.
"This is about the only department
of the state government that the
farmers can call absolutely their own,
and I intend to see that it is kept in
close touch with them," said Com
missioner Perkins In a statement of
his policy made expressly for The
Twice a-Week Spokesman-Review.
s'While in large measure we are TAX
ing over inspection work that has al
ready been handled by the state,
though under different departments,
it will in future be handled so that
each man, while working in his own
particular branch, is department
man, and will keep his eyes open for
other things. A man who goes out to
inspect dairy can take cognizance
of any work belonging to another
branch of the department.
cit will be the policy Of this de-
partment to have our inspectors
known as instructors in the future.
While they have police power | don't
want them to be considered as police
men, but as helpers for the farmers.

TRIAL LFORkING'5
BRUTAL Staying
Young Farm Hand to PIeaC
Wife of Victim Drove Him
to Deed.

MACON, Oct. 1S.-The intense feel
ing over the killing of James King,
wealthy Jones County planter. which
al once time threatened to result in
violence on the part of the citizens,
mas blazed forth again with the ap-
proach Of the trial of Nick Wilburn.
the stalwart and good looking farm
hand who is accused of the murder
for the love Of Kings wife
Wilburn will go on trial next We'd
nesday in Grays, Jones County. He
confessed to the killing soon after he
was suspected and placed under ar
rest last December. His only de-
tense at the time was that he was
goaded to do it by Mrs. King, with
whom he had been infatuated for
months. Whether this will remain his
sole defense at the trial his attorney
joan r. Cooper, will not say.
Mrs. King is under indictment as
an accessory before the fact. She
was reported to have admitted her re
latiOns with young Wilburn and to
have corroborated his story after he
mad accused her of instigating the
terrible crime.
Since then this story has been de-
MED by Mrs. King, her friends and her
attorneys. Her friends are standing
loyalty by her. They declare she was
not the unnatural wife that Wilburns S
story pictures her. Wilburn simply is
seeking TO evade the extreme pen
atty for his deed by hiding behind her
skirts, they charge.
Efforts for a change of venue for
Wilburn and Mrs. King have been
fruitless. Jones County citizens have
been angered by the representations
that Wilburn can not get fair trial
there. 1t is probable that the hearing
will go on without interruption un-
less Attorney Cooper is prevented
from attending court because of other
business.
Mrs. Kings trial as an accessory
Will not take place until after Will
burns case finally is disposed OF.

RITUAL MURDER
BRIBE CHARGE
MEETS DENIAL
Police Take Stand to Refute
Story They Offered Woman
$4,000 to Confess.

KIEFF, oct. 1S-The entire testi-
mOny of to-day's session of the trial
of Mendel Bells, charged with the
ritual murder" Of Andrew Yuschiu-
sky. concerned the alleged $50. .9O9
bribe offered Vera Cherberyak. a re
cent witness. No testimony bearing
on the guilt or innocence of Bells
was offered.
A number of police officers wer2
placed on the witness stand to refute
the Cherberyak woman's testimony
that she had been offered the bribe TO
confess that she was an accessory to
the murder and 20 implicate seven
others.
Bells now has apparently become
reconciled to the routine of the trial.
and he no longer rises to protest and
interrupt witnesses, but sits quietly
listening TO the testimony as if lS
realizes that he is but minor factor
and that the real issue of the trial re
wolves around principles other than
the death of the YusChinsky- boy.
