Mr.. Fixel also insisted that Thomp-
son refused to tell him where Terry

letters addressed 10 Terry after he
had moved to California.
Counsel for the defendant entered
strenuous objections to attempts OF
the district attorney to introduce as
evidence statements made by George
w. Terry when on the stand In his
bankruptcy proceedings, This OBJ
lection was sustained. but when the
defense attempted to exclude testi-
mony given when Terry took the
stand in his own behalf and of his
own free will. the court overruled
the objection.
Terry became an involuntary bank
rupt In 1907. His liabilities were
1907, and the principal creditors
were A. Krolik & Co.. the American
Lady Corset Co., and the United Jew
elry & Novelty Co. His store burned
and he received $4,000 insurance and
considerable sum from the sale OF
the salvage. This money. the gov

CHILD-CARING LEAGUE
WOULD CHANGE NAME

A petition was fled in the circuit
court, Wednesday, by the National
Child Welfare league. requesting that
the name be changed to the Michigan
Child Welfare league. This action
was decided upon by the directors
when 1t was found that 1t was diff
cult to secure funds for the work be-
cause possible givers feared their
contributions would be sent outside
the state. The league was formed a
year ago In Chicago as national
undertaking, but SO far Michigan is
the only state with a welcomed or
ganization. Similar action will be
taken In other states as soon as their
societies are In shape, and each will
bear the name Of the state in which
II Is located, although all will be
parts OF national organization.
