IURY,S VERDICT
WAS NO SURPRISE.

jim, Percy and Brady Roberts,
brothers, convicted of the murder of
Mrs. Emily Wyman, the aged lady,
murdered with her husband in their
cottage on Santa Rosa sound, will be
called before Judge Campbell at Mil
ton this morning for sentence. The
death penalty will be imposed, pro-
vided the court does not see fit to
grant new trials to the defendants.
OF course motions will be made, espe-
cially if the prisoners anticipate APP
pealing from the verdict of the jury.
That the verdict Of guilty was re-
turned by the jury was no surprise
to those who had followed the evil
dence. State Attorney Stokes, who
was commended on every hand for
the vigorous manner in which he had
conducted the prosecution, had built

sSanraI evidence the prisoners when
they faced the court found themselves
confronted with evidence of practi-
cally every move they had made since
the day of the murder. Sheriff Har-
veil had been alert and with the state
solicitors aid, had gathered much evi.
dence of circumstantial character
which, with the aid of Mitchell's con.
fession, the notes written by jim Rob
erts while in Jail, the testimony Of
the prisoner White and that of Chief
Deputy Hoffman, perfected a case
against the three men that was one
of the strongest ever presented to a
jury.
DISPOSE OF OTHERS.
When court convenes today the
cases of Jim Barbee and Elder Mitch
ell, also indicted for murder in two
indictments, will be disposed of. It
is not yet known whether the defen-
dants will be tried at this term of
court or their cases continued to the
next term.

Armies Suffer Severely From the
Shell Fire Of Their Own Artillery

In modern warfare, however, uni
forms are seldom distinctive except at
close sight, and attacking troops try
by every means to make themselves
invisible. When an attack is launched,
gunfre is concentrated on the point
decided upon and is continued up to
an agreed hour, when the infantry
charges into the gap made by the ar
tillery. Thereupon the range Of the
guns is heightened to strike at the
enemy's second line.
From the moment the attacking
force reaches the enemy's frs
trenches the difficulty of accuratel!
placing the gunfre increases, espe
cially with smoke and dust hiding TIL
progress of operations even from tn
aeroplane observers. The gunne
should be able TO keep partially &C
quainted with the situation throug
his telephone, but almost invariabl
many of the important wire connet
tons are cut off by the enemy's she
fire.

Milledgeville, Ca, July 18.<-Leo M.
Frank lay in the hospital of the Geor-
gia state prison here tonight with a
jagged wound in his throat, made
with an improvised knife in the hands
Of William Green, yellow convict,
also serving a life term for murder.
The blow was struck Frank as he
slept in his cot in the prison dorni-
tory late last night.
Physicians have stopped the flow Of
blood from the wound, and say Frank
has a fighting chance for recovery.
This, the latest and most spectacug
lar phase of the two-year fight for
Franks life, may be the subject of an
investigation by the Georgia prison
commission, the same body that re-
fused to recommend Franks death
sentence for the murder Of Mary Pha-

rnent. Governor Slaton, whose term
recently expired, did not follow the
prison commissions report, however.

.FIVE-YEAR- old BOY
LIKE HELEN KELLER
Deaf, Mute and Almost Blind,
Displays Wonderful Powers.

ST. Louis. Ernest Smith, i've years
old. deaf. dumb and almost blind. was
taken from the City hospital three
years ago after his mother deserted
him by the Missouri branch, Interna-
tional Sunshine society and is in a
fair way OF becoming as remarkable as
Helen Keller. according to medical au-
thorties, specialists and instructors in
the Missouri School For the Blind.
The child. who three years ago was
not expected 10 live and who was de
clared 10 be mentally defective, is an
excellent proof of what care, the prop
er treatment and skilled attention will
accomplish. At five he displays a
healthy devotion To the sports INDUCED
IN by boys of his age the world over
and an alarming interest in the carry
ing out of mischievous pursuits.
Since an operation performed several
months ago. which restored to him in
a slight measure the use of kis left
eye. he has displayed a sense Of touch
and perception which have set his
elders wondering and which has deter
mined them To secure for him the best
advantages obtainable 10 make OF him
SELF other than an ordinary mute.
He recognizes colors readily, is able
to distinguish his Sunday clothes from
those OF the every day variety, he Is
quick to notice anything new in the
wearing apparel or speech Of the Wis
itor In the home I'm which he is being
cared for, and he makes known his
likes and dislikes in an emphatic man
ner in everything running the gamut
from fOOdstuffs to persons.
In the opinion Of Mrs. +. w Baum
hoff, for fourteen years president OF
the Missouri Sunshine society and who
resigned that post in order to devote
her time wholly to caring for blind
children under school age, the child's
powers Of observation are nothing
short OF remarkable.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By {. c. BOWSfIELD

A little interest and effort on the
part of the family will make a success
Of fruit on "A small farm. The work
is not incessant. but 1t Is important at
times and requires intelligence and en-
ergy. Small fruits pay well ia almost
any locality. and they are so easily
managed that amateurs need not hest
tate about making this prominent
feature In their program.
Raspberries turn many rough and
idle spot into profitable land. A farm
err who does not make a few hundred
snuff. Black raspberries are usually
set two and one-half feet apart in the
row, with the rows six feet apart.
Planted among the trees OF an orchard
the red raspberry will do rather better
than the black. 1t Is not best to put
them closer than eight feet from the
trees. Fail planting of red raspberries
In severe ATTITUDES Is not to be recon-
mended. None Of the red raspberry
family is of ironclad hardness. and the
young plants when transplanted in the
fall are much more subject TO severe
or fatal injury from freezing than they
would be If well established. Spring
planting Is by all means preferable in
sections Of the country where the TEN
perature drops to or below zero. The
plants OF the red sorts are termed suck
ers and should be transplanted at one
year old. at which age they rarely have
more than one cane. which should be
cut back to eight or ten inches at time
of transplanting.
Prepare the ground as for a crop OF
potatoes, making burrows for the
plants. Set the young plants in the
