HIS LIPS UNsEALED
The Defendant has Something Inter
esting to Say.

SoliHS ~ SaJ'
So much public interest has been
aroused over the coming trial before
Judge Bennett in High school hall on
Tuesday evening, that one of our re-
porters counted himself fortunate
when he found an opportunity to in
terview the suspected man. Mr.. Well
ing was found at his home and al
though he assumed a gay and care
less air one could see by the deep
circles under his eyes. and the quick
nervous glances which he cast about,
that he was suffering from some
strong passion which was racking his
soul to pieces. Whether it was re-
morse or whether the heart broken
sense OF wrong and persecution that
comes to the falsely accused can new
er be known. Now and again the
forced smile would fade from his face
and look which suggested despair
would take the place.
Il am convinced" said he, that
this is base conspiracy gotten up
by well known parties for the pur
pose of lnjuring me, and am happy
to be able to state that my friends
think as do The Whole charge is
trumped up there is not a word OF
truth in it and some of the parties at
the bottom of the plot will be given a
warm time at the trial"
From Mr.. Welling's further re-
marks, the reporter gathered that the
accused had never seen rooster,
and indeed had a vague idea as to
how one looked. He even appeared
to be in doubt as to whether that var
iety Of fowl had three or four legs.
and intimated belief that the one in
question had horns. He had once, in
remote childhood. seen a picture of a
hen. but he has never even read de-
scription OF rooster.
Mr. yelling retains his usual excel
lent health and sleeps we'll. but since
he has been told that feathers are con
on trees as he has always supposed
he has used an air cushion instead Of
a pillow This may be regarded by
some as a suspicious circumstance.
Mr. Welling continues to eat his
customary eight meals day and oc
casionaliy finds appetite for a light
lunch between times
II shall go to my trial. said Mr..
yelling with the proud sense that
by record can be laid before the
world without a blush on my part and
with the knowledge that the innocent
cannot be charged with crime without
hurting the accusers."
Everything is now ready for the
great trial. The court viii enter
promptly at the hour advertised, sew
eral cases of local nature will be
disposed of apon motion, this case
will be taken up and then in the Ian
guage of one of the great daily papers
"The audience settled itself down to
over two hours of great enjoyment"

ing of the sudden and unexpected
death of little Leorna, only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ora Stratton of the
Chapel district, who only Wednesday
attended school. Thursday she was
i'll, but not until Thursday night was
her condition considered serious, All
that medical aid and loving hands
could do, was OF no avail, for early
Friday morning God called her home.
She was five years, Z months and II
days old The funeral services were
held at the White Chapel Sunday af-
ternoon at o'clock, Rev. y. S. Davis
officiating The little one attended
Sunday school and church at the
White Chapel Burial was in the
Green Mountain cemetery. Bearers
were members of the family.
a precious one from us has gone,
a voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boom his love had given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
