TIES 10 DECLARE INNOCENCE
Youth Convicted of Numbering Sweet
heart and Convicted to Hang
Swears he is Innocent and
Wants Life Sentence.

Little Rock, June 15.-"May God
bless you Mr.. Editor, in this noble eff
fort at extending q helping hand to
one who is sorely in need of help
Thus ends a letter from Arthur Till
man. the boy under sentence of death,
who is now confined in the Arkansas
penitentiary, written to Frank N. Hen
derson editor of the England Courier,
who has interested himself in behalf
Of the youth.
"Whcn the law murders me, as it
seems they are determined to do, those
who carry out its mandate will be
guilty of as great a crime as that
which | am charged, but of which,
God being my witness, | SWEAR |
AM INNOCENT, and if you succeed
in reaching the heart of our Great
Governor so that | may be given the
right just to live, even though | am
locked for the balance of my life be-
hind these prison walls, you viii have
conferred on this sad hearted boy the
greatest boon possible to bostow, and
viii receive a crown in Heaven as your
reward. | know that time will prove
my innocence, and all that | ask is
that my sentence be committed from
death To that Of life Imprisonment so
that my sainted mother and broken
hearted father may yet live to see
their boy vindicated in the eyes Of the
world" This is another portion of
the Henderson letter in which Tillman
thanks the editor for a short editorial
in his behalf.
Tillman is no longer the bouyant
youth that laughed and romped about
the prison yard before Gov Hays fin
ally decided to permit the law to take
its course in his case. He realizes
q unless some unseen hand comes
to es rescue and public sentiment be-
comes so strong against his execution
that the chief executive must yield
his chances for life are indeed slim.
Tillman lives in hope, protesting to
every visitor his innocence, and beg
ging them to assist-in his fight for life
He requests an interview with Gov.
Hays and the official will no doubt
visit the prison and converse with him
regarding the case before the day set
for the execution, July Is.

Il wonder if the actors really say

that the actors do speak, and the en-

used in film production--if one uses
words that convey the thought so that
voice, features and gestures harmon

A moments thought will show that
this is true, and it is not necessary to

either One is so accustomed to "suit-
ing the action to the word" that one
unconsciously assumes the proper fa-
cial expression when using words that
denote anger, fear. surprise or other
emotion.
So well is this known to directors
that when an actor or actress is filmed
talking over a telephone it is not un-
usual to have some one at the other
end of the line actually carrying on
the other part of the conversation

PAPER ITSELF WAS EVIDENCE
In This Case Examiner Required No Pledge That Student Had Done
 the Work Himself

At certain college custom ordains that at examination time each of the candidates shall write the following pledge at the bottom of his papers:
 "l hereby declare, on my honor, that l have neither given nor received as sistance during the examination"
 One student, after handing in one of the papers, suddenly remembered that in his haste he had omitted to write the oath. On the following day he sought out one of the examiners and told him that he had forgotten to put the required pledge on his pa per.
 The examiner looked at him over the top of his glasses and dryly re- marked
 Quite unnecessary. Your paper in itself is sufficient evidence I've just been correcting it."

 Leading Citizens Favor Act.
 T know number of public spirit ed' intelligent citizens who are among our largest tax payers that have given serious thought to Act No 8, and who are strong for it. If it wasn't a good measure they would be against it, find that heads of trust companies who act as trustees and agents for minors, non-residents and widows are SUD- porting Act No. 3 as protector of the property interests of their clients.
 There is absolutely no good req. son why public affairs should not be conducted in the open and above board, and why receipts and expendi- lures should not be published.
 
 One thing that Act 3 will do which forms reason why it should be wei comed with open arms by public off c1als is this: It will protect the good name of the officer who does his duty The very lack of such a law has given rise to the often-heard ex- pression, All officials are grafters.' The fact that it is often repeated by irresponsibles and by those who mean no harm makes it none the less an insult deeply resented by all square officials. Act No. will turn on the light and when the people see what is going on, one Of two things will happen: They will either find things are wrong or find they are all right. In one case they will correct them; In the other suspicion will fade away and every good officer can point with pride to his published record.
