 The jury found Aram guilty Aram's defence. which he read be- fore the court, is often printed as an unusual example of a paper of this kind being in much better language than is often heard under criminal prosecutions. Being returned to the prison he could not be prevailed up- on to make any other confession than that he justly deserved the pun ishment the law had pronounced against him. And in the morning of execution, the keeper going to his cell to bring him out, found him almost expiring, having with a razor cut his left arm above the elbow. by which means he had lost so much blood that he was very weak. Aram had tried to prove his innocence by tech nical strategy, and every trick known to the lawyers was resorted to to save Aram, but all in vain. He was executed and his body carried to Knaresborough Forest, where it was hung in chains, in that part nearest to the town.

HAVE YOU FALLEN

Lay Off of 1t as the Story Is but
Hoax for Advertising
Automobile Firm.

Have you fallen for the press agent
yarn about the mint marks on dimes?
Hundreds of Rock Island people are
scanning closely every dime which
comes into their possession. They
have hopes of getting an automobile.
According to the story, if any person
finds dimes on which are mint marks
spelling the name of the car, they will
be given a machine. Hundreds are
looking Street car conductors, par
ticularly, have fallen.
The story is a hoax. There are only
four minis in the country. One is at
Philadelphia. 1t has no mark. One
is at New Orleans and is marked with
an 90" Another is at Denver and
has ID for a mark. The fourth is at
San Francisco and its mark is s.
According 10 the yarn some dies
were wrongly made and a few dimes
bearing two wrong initials were made.
Just how these got into circulation
without the treasury department know
ing it is not made clear, but despite
the many earmarks which should
stamp it as a fake" many have fall
en-. No such dies as described were
ever made. Dimes bearing the initial
letters which the collectors find hard
to get were never made, at least not
by the government. If any are out,
they are counterfeits, according to in
formation from the treasury depart
ment And the department stamps the
story as a fake, pure and simple.
Despite the fact that the automo-
bila maker disclaims all knowledge of
the story and the government brands
Il as a fake. there are several Rock
Island people who claim to know per
sons who have secured cars for gath

An appeal IS being made through
the Associated Charities for clothing
for children of school ages. Each day
there are numerous requests for cloth

are especially needed. The Associat-
ed Charities is completely out OF these
articles and urges lit upon the public
to supply the needs. Many children
will be compelled to remain from
school unless they are supplied with
the clothing, and II strong plea Is
made for help. If persons having such

Association house. 729-L, a wagon will
be sent for the articles. Donations of
eatables will also be gratefully &C
cepted.

The appeals for help which are be-

long, hard winter is before the poor
people and that many will need aid
before the cold weather is over. Arti-

ages from to II years, however, are
mostly needed at present and the pub

cause.

GYPSIES SECURE
AT MILE TRACK
Predatory Band Lease Grounds
and Defy Sheriff to Put
Them Out.

The gypsies which have been caus-
ing trouble during the last two weeks
in the three cities and surrounding
towns are in camp, secure from the
molestation of officers, at the Daven-
port mile track, which they have leas-
ed for a week. There are about 100
of them. Since they first appeared
on the local horizon in the vicinity of
Geneseo there has been a succession
OF complaints of their depredations.
Warnings were telephoned ahead of
them as they travelled. and merchants
closed and locked their stores in the
villages, while the country people
gathered iE their poultry and live
stock and mounted guard over their
fields.
The band undertook TO camp near
Exposition park in this city, but was
finally induced by the police to move
on. 1t then went to Rockingham,
west of Davenport. and the police OF
that city routed il from there. Quar-
tiers were finally taken up at the mile
track, and when Sheriff Eckhardt of
Scott county undertook to chase the
newcomers, he found that they had
secured a lease of the grounds and he
could do nothing.
Complaints from people in the vi
cinity are causing the sheriff much
trouble. Yesterday he made two trips
to the mile track, one in the afternoon
and the other in the evening. Mana
ger Oscar Raphael of the mile track
was besieged with reports of so-called
depredations by the band of wander
ers. until he became desperate and de-
cided 10 take steps to GUST the roam

gypsies declared that they did not
have to move, as they had paid Man
ager Raphael SIS for a weeks lease,
and would fight their case in court if
necessary. To prove that they mean
business they retained a local firm of
attorneys

clared that nothing could be done IN

ton is filed. Thus far, the authoritieS
say, there is nothing to comprise a
basis for information as the gypsies
have not been making raids on the
property of residents in the vicinity.
