TO BE TRIED ON CHARGE
OF NUMBERING WIFE

Springfield, o., Feb with the
fixing of the date for trial, public in
terest has been revived in the case of
Dr. Arthur B. Smith, who has been
confined in the county Jail here since
last November, facing charge of hav-
ing murdered his first wife, Mrs. Flor
ence Cavileer Smith The trial, which
will begin early next month, promises
to be one of the most sensational OF
its kind that has taken place in this
section of Ohio in many years.
When Florence Cavileer Smith died
suddenly March IS last the commun-
ity was shocked for she was said to
have been in excellent health, but no
suspicion was aroused until DR.. Smith,
on Oct. 1. married Miss Mabel Mer-
chant, at her former home in Newton,

years was a nurse In the local hospital,

SERIOUS WRECK ON
MISS. CENTRAL
WEDNESDAY,
PASSENGER TRAIN JUMPED
TRACK NEAR WooLWoRTH
AND ABOUT 20 INJURED.

Quite a serious wreck occurred on
the Mississippi Central railroad near
Woolworth Wednesday evening in
which about twenty persons were in
jured. That many fatalities did not
occur was a miracle, as the cars jump
ed the track near the trestle over
Bear Creek.
The baggage car and combination
smoker, also the negro coach, turned
turtle, one falling into the water and
the other taking up a suspended po-
sition over the creek
In taking out the wounded passen-
gers it was necessary for the rescuers
to pass over the sides of the suspend
ed car. After taking the passengers
aut they were carried into Brookhaven
a distance of eleven miles, on cars
pulled in by an engine from the
Brookhaven & Pearl River railway.
1t was II o'clock at night when these
passengers got into Brookhaven ans
the news of the wreck was slow il
reaching the public.
Mrs. Frank Holloway and baby
were among the white passengers
most seriously injured. Miss Rose
| Griffin of White Sand, Mack Lyell o
Wesson and M. Ray of Wesson were
among those injured.
The negro coach was pretty wei
filled, and most of those in it were in
jured, some quite seriously.
The cause of the wreck is unknown
though it is claimed the train was go
ing at rapid speed when the acct
dent occurred.

and she was called in many cases by
DR.. Smith. They were intimate friends
before the first Mrs. Smith died.
On Oct. 16 the county officials or
dered an examination into the cause
of the death of Mrs. Florence Cavileer
Smith, and the body was exhumed.
DR.. Coons, pathologist, reported that
death was not caused by organic heart
trouble, as stated by her husband and
also stated in the death certificate. A
chemical analysis of the stomach is
said to have revealed unmistakable
traces of cyanide.
AS a result of the physicians re
ports the grand jury on November q
returned an indictment against DR.
Smith. The indictment contained foul
counts. The first alleged that DR.
Smith administered cynaide in cuI
of cocoa, the second charged that he
administered cyanide with hypoder
mic. while the third alleged that HI
administered an unknown poison will
cocoa and the fourth that he gave hi
wife a poison with a hypodermic, thu
nature of which is unknown.

CAUGHT WITH Pig
Thief TOOK TO
HEELS
JOHN GREEN DROPPED PoRKEF
HE HAD JUST KILLED AND
QUALIFIED FOR MARATHON.

AS Justice J. G. Farley was going
home yesterday evening, he met ne
gro man whom he recognized as John
Green, coming out Of lot owned by
City Commissioner Archie Farley.
with a sack on his shoulder which
looked very much like the shape Of a
dead porker. Mr.. Farley halted the
man and marched him up to his broth
err, Archies, dwelling and called for
some one to come to his assistance.
This circumstance caused the negro
to decide that he was unarmed, and
as he thought at the moment that
discretion was the better part of valor,
he dropped his burden and made for
the tall timber. AS Judge Fairley's
sprinting days are past, he permitted
John to enjoy his race all by himself
AS the hog was less likely to tell tales
dead than alive, John had before en-
closing the 100-pound piggie in his
sack, taken the life of the animal
but left the butchering to be per
formed by its owner.
John Green was tried at the last
term of the circuit court for hog steal
ing. and through the valiant fight
made for him by his attorney, he Sc

Jury
Should he conclude to return to his
old haunts he may not fare so well

Oscar Lund, who directed and wrote
this drama, has achieved what few
producers in America accomplished
when putting on a costume play of
medieval times. He has RELAXED that
picturesque glamour of the days of
knight erantry so essential in stories
of the period, and has abstained from
any exaggeration. His characters

CHANGE IN STYLES,
BUT Nor I'M PRICE,

New York, Feb. THE modish
gown of the coming spring and sum-

the hips and knees, and narrower at
the feet and shoulders, according to
the members of the Ladies' Tailors
and Dressmakers' Association who
gathered in this city today for their
annual spring convention. The droop-
ing shoulder line will be the proper
thing. Long sleeves and accordion
plating will be among the REVEALS.
Crepe de chine promises to be the
most popular of fabrics. Numerous
changes in styles are scheduled for
discussion by the dressmakers during
their three days session, but SO far
as can be learned no change is con-
templated in the size of their bills.

Narkom gave the man a glance from
the tail of his eye as they went up the
gangplank and boarded the boat, and,
brief as that glance was, it was suffi-
cient to assure him OF two things First,
that the man was not only strikingly
handsome. but bore himself with an air
which spoke of culture, birth, position

fair hair and the slightly hooked nose
which are so Characteristic of the Maui

about the wonderful dishpan sale she
attended to-day. Dishpans worth
forty-nine cents sold for thirty three.
There was such crowd some one stole
her purse and she lost her muff But
she got three dishpans."
What else?" when she paused for
breath.
"She said the baby had been sick,
but was better; that her nearest neigh
Dor had moved, and her maid had left
and she had new recipe for cake that
required no eggs"
What else?" asked the family.
"She said I had better attend the
white sales down town before they
ended; that she never saw anything
like them"
What else?" asked her family.
Mrs. Lysander John paused, and
thought and thought, but couldn't tell
anything more.
WAS that all?" asked her son in
disgust. "She might have told you if
she had her new Spring hat" COM

said nothing, but looked at his wife
with suspicion. Was it possible she

SYNOPSIS

Maverick Narkom. superintendent of
Scotland Yard, London, finds himself
hopeiessly at the mercy of thieves.
murderers and other criminals in a
gigantic crime wave spreading over the
city. He has fought vainly against il.
At last he confides to Sergeant Petrie
that Cleek. the reformed crook, now
secretly aiding the law he once broke,
is the only man who can successfully
wipe out the epidemic OF crime. Cleek,
he knows. is secretly at work on his
own account.
owing to the fact that Cleek has
seldom appeared twice with the same
face, Narkom could not identify him
if he knew where to look. An ad
is inserted In the daily papers asking
Cleek to call az Scotland Yard. Mean
while the crimes increase.
