Testifcs 10 Purchases,

Mr.. Mccain was called 70 the stand
Immediately after the luncheon recess.
He testified to three different purchases
Of morphine from Or. Kemp. one pur-
chase the agreement for which was made
in Bellinger's presence, and two pur-
chascs which he had made alone. In OBJ

them up to the time he entered the
Office and from the time he left until
he turned over to them the bottle of NOR
phine tablets he had received on each
occasion.
The cross-eSamination conferred around
the insistence Of Mr.. Davis that Mccain
tell him the names of persons from whom
he had obtained morphine for his own
use. Mccain had testified that he had
been addicted to the use OF the drug in
small amounts for about one year. fol-
lowing serious illness and two very
painful operations. Mccain testified that
he had obtained the drug at one time

streets northwest He could not give the
name Of the man from whom he OBJ

he first met the man. He described him

on the lapel of his coat. He said the
man usually was to be found at Ninth

drug knew that the man could be found
there during the afternoon and evening.

had used had come from different

this point. after a good deal Of sparrlng.
Mr. Davis insisted upon the name of the
person from whom McCann received his
latest 9supply. and Judge Pugh directed
McCann to give the name. This Mccain
refused to do, and the deadlock was I'M

reached between Judge Pugh and the at

fered under the law, was in clear viola
ton OF the law.
Defense Reveals Plan.
That the defense will make its first
strong fight upon the contention that
Mccain must prove himself an addict
was strongly evidenced by the crOss-ex-
amina ton OF both Bellinger and McCann
yesterday. The defense hopes TO prove
that Mccain is not and was not an
addict. and then to procure a ruling
which will make it unnecessary for DR..
Kemp himself to take the stand. II Is
generally believed that unless the testI-
mony of Mccain can be utterly discrcd-
tied through the breaking down of his
contention that he was addicted to the
use of morphine at the time the sales
were made to him. the defense will be
forced to place DR.. Kemp on the witness
stand.
Commencing at II o'clock Yesterday
morning the selection OF twelve Jurors
consumed an hour and required almost
the entire panel. The names OF Jurors
finally selected and their occupations fol-

Buried Wrong Body

BY some curious chance of mistaken
identity, the body of Geo. Randle was
shipped to Chicago for that of W..
Clinton Sain, while Sain's body was
brought to Clio, funeral services held
over it and interment made in the
local cemetery upon the supposition
that it was that of Randle. Randle's
relatives, it seems, positively identified
Sain's remains as those of Randle, at
the undertaking rooms in Flint, while
those who had known Sain, identified
Randle's body as that of the Chicago
man. The faces of both men had been
so terribly crushed that all were mis-
taken it seems, but on the arrival Of
Randle's body in Chicago, near rela-
tives of Sain, discovered that some
mistake had been made and returned
with the body to Flint, with the result
that Sain's body was exhumed from

Birthday Surprise

A most delightful birthday surprise
was given Mrs. Ada Wisner, Monday
afternoon, her S7th birthday, when sew
eral neighboring ladies called on her
unannounced and proceeded to make
the occasion memorable. After the
hours spent in visiting and reminiscence
a bountiful picnic supper was spread.
which, of course, was a very pleasant
feature. Mrs. Wisner is very re-
markably active and capable lady and
despite her years always radiates
good cheer and hopefulness. Would
that we could all go down the sunny
side of life with so much of grace and
the spirit of youth in our hearts. Mrs.
Wisner's friends, meaning everybody
in this community, will join in the hope
that many more birthdays may find her
as pleasantly circumstanced as did the
one just passed.

Barn Burns \

A 32x72 foot gambrel roof barn be-
longing to Paul McCluskey, of Mt.
Morris township, was struck by light
ming last Friday evening, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it was provided with
lightning rods, and was completely de-
stroyed. The barn contained about
forty tons of hay and large amount of
grain. The barn was estimated to be
worth 81, 700 and was insured in the
Genesee Mutual for $4,000, the con-
tents being insured for $1,000 in the
same ompany. Experience in this
case, in many others. seems to dis
prove the old saying that lightning
never strikes twice in the same place, "
because this barn was struck once prior
to being rodded, at which time it was
not much inju ed.

Sound Advice

The following editorial, taken from
The Detroit News, denotes that the
writer possesses deep insight into hu-
man nature, and his deductions from
the circumstances he cites, being emf
nently true, are especially valuable in
that they are morally bracing and a
stimulus to that courage which every
person at times requires. The incident
taken as the basis of the editorial was,
undoubtedly, the suicide of young Mr..
Proper, at Swartz Creek, short time
ago:
FLEEING FROM BLUNDERs
"a young man in Genesee county ran
down and fatally injured man on a
country road. Fear struck his judg-
ment from him. He drove away in his
automobile without stopping to inves-
tigate.
"Perhaps the accident was his blum
der. Certainly his flight was terrible
bunder. He was traced. His blunders
were on his heels. Still there was time
to turn and face them; to look them in
the eye; co stand by the results of his
own weaknesses and to prove thereby
his strength.
fear of ,what might happen to him,
but by-the picture of the havoc he had
wrought upon another's life and upon
his own, that panic possessed him. A
few hours before the injured man died,
he killed himself.

with his own errors and their conse'
quences: errors of judgment, of vision.

'In small way, crises brought about
by blunders arise frequently in daily

The young man who fled out of life to

with his self-respect and the esteem OF
others for him maintained undamaged. .
