The Daily Story
Old Time Detective work-By Everett P. Clarke

+, The Thorpe brothers were arrested
| the ground about the roots OF IN.
beech tree was dug up. and some Inn.
tons and the metal parts OF a pair q,
suspenders were found. This evidence
was considered SO strong that The
Thorpe brothers were urged to Con.
fess in order that Justice should be
meted out 10 each in accordance with
what he deserved. James, under the
! incessant pleadings of his spiritual
adviser. finally gave way and confess.
ed that he had been the murderer
But later Robert confessed that he
too, had taken part in the killing ana
had done the principal part in getting
rid of the body.
Now, If we consider the evidence IN
this case as it would be regarded 10.
day there is nothing in il. First. we
would not accept the dream as Of anv
value whatever; second. the articles
found under the beech tree might
have been thrown ont in the yard or
burned with other refuse under the
tree and become mingled with the
soil: third, we have numerous COMES.
sions in murder cases that are not
true
But in those ways, when the people
were emerging from a period wherein
an organized court of justice would
convict a woman OF vomiting crooked
pins and sailing on the water IN
sieve, the evidence against the Thorpe
brothers, backed by the confession OF
both, were considered quite sufficient
to hang them. They were tried. con.
visited and sentenced.
One day a man rode into Bradford
and while sitting around the tavern
stove was told that the next day there
would ibe a hanging in the town and
he had better remain over and see g.
On mention lof the name Of Winston
he said that he had seen a half-witted
man in Hadley by that name. A friend
of the Thorpe boys was present. and
he went to the judge with the story,
asking for stay of the execution iu
order that the matter might be inves.
tigated.
a constable was sent TO Hadley and
returned with the man for whose
murder the prisoners were to have
been hanged. The brothers were re.
leased and received an ovation, the
really rejoicing that they
had been saved by a mere chance from
having committed murder themselves.
The blow that Winston had received
rom Robert Thorpe had caused an In
ientation of a bit OF his skull on the
brain. Even nowadays we are never
sure when or what vaearies may be
,aused by such a pressure, though it
,an now be removed by surgeons

feature Is a table with legs that may
be raised or lowered to suit the height
OF the worker.
The refrigerator. as Il stands, would
never in the world recommend itself
to any thrifty housewife, for one part
of IL is lined with solid porcelain, an
other with enameled steel, another
with zinc painted with enamel paint.
and another with implanted zinc. How
ever. this refrigerator breaches a ser
mon OF its own, for the advantages and
disadvantages OF each particular lining
are explained in labels attached. Each

low. moist region may each decide
which feature is most adaptable for
her own use and pocketbook-
stew kettle is shown in several
common materials in the model
kitchen, but no particular make is rec
commended. The aim is TO show sauce
pans or kettles made OF steel, alumni

how each material excels in its own
way. and fits disadvantages.
on the walls of the model are shown
samples OF the more common floor

setting forth the relative merits and
drawbacks of each. Linoleum and oil
cloth have their strong points, and so
have tinted, painted and undressed
wall surfaces. Vanished wall paper
