The police say Willihalt had quar-

wife because her two grown brothers
had been making their home with

Although the husband had expressed
his displcasurc at the idea of having
his wife's brothers live with them. no

The young husband and his wife,
who was but twenty-five years old, had
been married about eighteen months,

when the son. Albert. jr., was born.
They were alone in the apartment last
night when the tragedy occurred.

David ) Mills. former president o!
the Audubon National Bank, was con-
victed yesterday Of misapplication OF
the banks funds and sentenced TO
seven years imprisonment in Atlanta
Ly Judge Hunt. in the United States
District Court Mills is forty-two years
old. is married and has two children.
In passing sentence Judge Hunt said
certain circumstances of the case made
II rcgrettablc that Imprisonment must
be imposed on Mills. but it was neces-
sary in order that the requirement o.
the law might be met. He said Mills
wife and chidrel were the chief suf-
ferers.
Judge Hunts severe criticism Of HIS
action prepared Mills for his sentence,
which he took calmly. y stay of ten
DAYS was granted and the convicted
banker went to the Tombs. IL is un-
likely that an appeal will be taken,
and under the most favorable circum-
stances Mills will have to serve a
prison term of two years and four
months before he can be paroled.
The conviction was considered re-
markable for the reason that the de-
positors Of the Audubon National Bank
did not lose anything through the Mills
transaction, though this was largely
due to the timely interference Of the
national bank examiners.

Discounted Worthless Notes.

Mills was brought TO trial on the
charge that he had discounted notes
aggregating $4,000, knowing that the
signatures on them were fictitious and
that they were absolutely worthless.
The proceeds from these notes were
used to buy out the stock holdings Of
some of the directors of the bank who
had objected TO notes previously dis
counted by Mills.
The Jury deliberated less than an
hour. After explaining 10 them the
duties Of IA bank president and point
ing out the law, Judge Hunt gave the
case 10 the twelve men with the re-
mark:
If David S. Mills had been executor.

mine. Some Of the directors. members

get the troublesome directors out of
the way.

Wife Refused to Drink.

Willibalt had been out i'm the street
and returned about . o'clock, showing
the effects Of liquor. He was in a surly
mood. and when his wife refused TO
drink with him from a can Of beer he
had brought in he growled at her and
finished the beer himself.

infant was stiled in sleep. and quiet
reigned in the little Nat.
At 1910 o'clock Willibalt. stagger-
ing as he walked and mumbling to
himself, went toward the closed bed
room door. In his right hand he
fingered revolver. He opened the
door without knocking and stumbled
into the room. almost falling over his
wife's bed.
Tries to Save Baby.
Before Mrs Willibalt could even
make a move TO protect her child the
enraged husband sent a bullet into the
sleeping infants head. Before the
smoke from the exploded cartridge had
drifted to the ceiling Wilibalt took aim
"A second time. The mother threw her
self across her child's body and re-
ceiv cd the second bullet in her head.
Satisfied he had killed wife and child,
Winibalt placed the muzzle of the
weapon TO his own head and pulled the
trigger. Then he fell to the floor be-
side the bed.
In spite OF the seriousness of her
wound, Mrs. Willibalt. when she saw
her husband fail, leaped from the bed
and dashed toward the hall door. blood
streaming from the wounds of herself
and baby. She ran into the outside
hall and beat frantically upon the door
of the apartments of Fred" Rogales,
across the hallway. Rogales took Mrs.
Wilibalt and her wounded infant in
side and hid them under the bed. think
ing Willibalt might follow to complete
his work
Rogales then ran into the Willibalt
apartment and found the husband dead
on the floor Of the bedroom. He called

Avenue station. The wife and baby

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3o.--Naval
officers and the women of their fanri-
lies are wondering where the Demo-
cratic tendency to discard forms and
observances is going to stop. The
following order Is at the de-
