called the New Era has been grown.
The plant was carefully nourished and
tended, and for several seasons a new
crop was propagated from the seeds Of
the previous crop The variety has been
placed under the closest observation
but no occasion has there been the
slightest trace Of blight or disease
caused by frost, though the crop planted
next to it had been blackened by the
severe cold and is even now badly af'

NO CRIME TO HIRE
ANYONE TO COMMIT MURDER.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRE.1


Paris, Dec. 26.-Because, under the
French law it is no crime to employ
persons to commit murder unless they
actually accomplish it, or in other
words, "deliver the goods" Professor
Rouquette, of Stanlias College, Clamart,,
today was set at liberty. A few DAYS
ago he accosted couple of young
men from the country, named Billiard
and Gavelle, in a Paris cafe, and be.
sought their help in getting rid of his
mother.in.law. They accepted the job,
and the professor paid them $50 on ac-
count.
First Of ALL the two countrymen
spent the money in riotous living, then,
they went to the police and told their
story. When Rouquette was arraigned
he denied the story, and later not only
admitted the TRUTH but said he had
instructed the young men to break up
the furniture and steal any valuables
they might want, in order to give the
impression that the crime was com.
mitted for burglary. In spite of this
confession, Prof, Rouquette got off on
the plea Of his attorneys that his act
constituted no crime in France II
was not until today, however, shat a
higher court handed down formal de.
cisiou favoring the arguments of the
defendants s lawyers.
