One Case at Time.

Attorney Kenworthy for the defense
asked to reserve the right to cross ex-
anime the states witnesses at the
conclusion of testimony on all the
cases. rather than at the end of each
one of them, but the court stood firm
for the same rule on both sides-one
case through to its conclusion before
another was entered This plan may
serve 10 delay the conclusion of the
trial for at least six more weeks, but

prevent any confusion in the minds of
the jurymen in following the many in
tricacies involved in the general
charge of conspiracy. Judge Graves,

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THIMBLE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THIMBLE?
In the days of England's ''Merry
Monarch" women, and men too,
wore silver bells on their thumbs
thumb bells they called them-and
they wore them more for ornament
than use. Through careless pronun-
citation and misspelling the thumb
bells of the 18th century became
'thimbles" and in time they came to
be worn on the middle finger as pro-
lection from the needle point when
sewing. Sailors, as well as seam
stresses, wear thimbles or thummels,
as the seamen call them; but the sail
or's thimble is a ring rather than a
cap and it's grooved so as to protect
his fingers from the chafing OF the
rope when he climbs alott.
