CONDEMNED PASTOR FREE
WAS CONVICTED OF MURDER ON
 DAUGHTERS TESTIMONY.
Later Confessed She Had Sworn Falsely, and Prosecuting Attor-
 ney Has Dismissed Case

Fort Smith, Ark, July 22.-Sen- fenced to the gallows on a story told by his daughter and then saved from execution by the same daughter is the remarkable experience of the Rev. Marion Capps, aged fl, of White Bluff, a Methodist minister.
 Capps has been released from pris- on and the case against him dis missed. A new trial was granted when the prosecuting attorney learned the daughter had declared her damaging testimony at the trial was false. The prosecutor now says he has no evidence against the preacher and that he believes him innocent.
 Capps was convicted and sentenced to hang for the death of two of his children, Rosie, aged 6, and Priscilla aged 3, who perished when their home was destroyed by fire early in the morning of Dec. IS. A third child, son, Mack, aged 12, died from injuries he suffered in the fire, but the father was not accused of his death, because the boy succumbed after his father was indicted for the murder of the other two.
 A jury hearing the case arrived at a verdict within an hour sentencing him to hang, His attorneys filed a motion for new trial, alleging the jurors erred in not specifying what degree of murder Capps was guilty of The court held this was insufficient grounds for another hearing
 Then came the climax of the case. Bertha Capps admitted under oath that she had deliberately sworn false ly against her father. She was en- gagged to marry Will Moody, aged IS years, son of a neighboring justice of the peace, the girl testified; her fath- CT was opposed to this, and for that reason she testified falsely.
 The girls confession was used in a second application for new trial, but this was overruled and the case was taken to the supreme court on Is al- leged errors.
 The supreme court reversed the verdict of the lower court and grant ed a new trial to Capps. Another

A few shrill screams, wholly femi- nine, some hysterical laughter. a ducking or two, stray scratch, con siderable scrambling, and a pair of very bedraggled people sat on the bank and viewed the effect of the catastrophe.

 Think of our predicament, Bertie. Here we are stranded on the island, with no hope of rescue until morning at least. Night is already upon us.

 A moment later a small boy slipped behind the supposed divinity at third 1 base. When the latter was watching the batter the boy grabbed the mop of heavy blonde hair, which rolled in lovely marcel waves under the base mans cap. One sharp jerk and cap and hair came away, exposing a close ly cropped cranium of the bullet type. Simultaneously, a youth in the grandstand shouted: Hey, look at the pitcher; she's chewin' terbacker." |"
 Then the fans surged upon the field in one swift-moving mass. A police captain and half dozen patrolmen were swept away in the rush to inter- cept the "bloomer girls" who had started for the gate. They reached it ahead of the crowd, but none too soon, for hardly had fhey dashed through and across the street to the club house than the vanguard of the crowd began to throw things.

 In the fight brick aimed at Capt. Daley struck bicycle policeman in the leg, while two other patrolmen had their uniforms almost torn off.
