this threat Internationally up
set his wife. She feared that

ruin his political life.

beg Calmette not to publish
other letters. Overcome by e.
motion when she faced her hus-
bands enemy, she lost her head
and killed him.
Over one hundred spectators
with admission cards forced en-
trance to the court room after
it was thought all the standing

BODY THAT OF
KATHERINE WINTERS
Exhumed From Potter's Field
And Is Positively Identified
Say Officers.

United Press Dispatch.
Urbana, Illinois, July 20. The
body of nine year old girl ex-
humed from the potter's field
here is that of the missing Kath-
crime Winters, positively declar-
ed Sheriff Davis today. Two de-
tectives recently told the sheriff
they were positive the body was
shipped here and buried. The
description of the girl, including
clothing, tailed and the sheriff
consented to have the body ex-
humed.
Sheriff Davis said detectives
explained that they had traced
the body to a Florida town but
was reshipped here, Undertaken

er brought the little girls body
ed in receiving vault. sssSome
one would claim it in few
days., this man said, After
waiting a year for. claimant, the
body was removed from the
vault and buried. The detective
has gone to Newcastle.
CASKET WAS TOO SMALL.
Undertaken Stewart said an
unidentified man brought the
body as Nick Larry of Urbana,
a wealthy retired farmer. When
he brought the casket to Stew
art the man explained that he
had been living in Florida and
that his wife was sick there. He
wanted the body received in a
vault because there was no place
to put it.
Stewards declaration that the
casket he received was not more
than two and one half or three
feet long, which would be too
short for the body Of a nine
year old girl was a blow to the
theory that the body was that
of the Winters child.

Only Three Cases ON Docket.
When the supreme court of
Arkansas adjourned for the
summer vacation last Monday,
the tribunal left but three cas-
es on the docket that had been
committed prior to the date of
adjournment. This is record
of which the court is Justly
proud and speaks of the labor
accomplished by the members of
the court during the long term.
An average of twenty cases are
decided by this court, 46 weeks
of the year, making about 1000
decisions during the year. About
one-third of the cases are per-
sonal injury suits in which cor
poratiOns are defendants. The
number of appeals increases as
the years pass, and the develop
ment of the state will be ac-
companied always by increasing
litigation. In order to handle
this, there will either be a change
in the constitution to increase
the number of members, or pro-
vide a brnach of the court for
review of certain kinds of cases.
AS long as the members of the
court work as they have during
the past year, however, there
will be no occasion for any
change in the method of hand
ling the business.

association, E. B. Goodman, special
investigator, and Herman Fleck,
an inspector of the association ap-
neared this morning before the
Office of Markets and asked that
the Department of Agriculture take
steps to stop this practice among
shippers Of live poultry.
The representatives OF the asso-
citation brought with them a large
number of chickens which had been
sanded, and otherwise stuffed by
special feeding to add to their mar
ket weight. They also brought
samples of the sanded food obtain
cd from the actual car in which the
chickens were shipped. This weigh
ing food consisted of a paste, com

and coarse gravel, and one handful
of meal. According to these men
the chickens are stuffed for "a
hours before the time OF their ar
