 The arrest of Diadone followed and 1t
 developed that he had been a ssuitor for
 the girls hand for sometime, but had
 been rejected. He did not deny the abduc-
 tion, but insisted that it was love Tor
 the girl that had prompted his actions. and that but for family interference they would have been married At the pre- liminary hearing. at the investigation be- fore the grand jury and at the trial which resulted in his conviction. the girl gave such damaging testimony that he was indicted and convicted, the jury fixing his sentence at 20 years in the penitentiary. During his trial the accused proved an excellent character and maintained throughout that he meant no harm to the girl and had always intended to make her his wife. Following his conviction his attorneys took an appeal and he was placed in the county jail pending it's re- suits few weeks ago the officials Of the county jail were surprised by being informed that a reconciliation had been effected and that the girl was willing to | marry Diadone Surrounded by the friends and relatives of both parties the marriage ceremony was performed at the county jail by a priest of the church to which they both belonged.
 It was intimated at the time that execu- tive cemency would be invoked and from that tune until yesterday his @attorneys have worked necessarily in his behalf. Governor Henderson gave the case great deal of personal attention and apprised himself of all the facts connected with>ft and yesterday decided that on account of | the expected babe it was a case for ex- ecutive clemency, and the parole was | issued.
 | The meeting of Diadone and his girl wife was particularly affecting and none who witnessed the scene doubted the wis dom and justice of the clemency ex- ! tended. sF

There was much rejoicing in the Italian colony of Birmingham last night when the news came that Gov Charles Tender son had paroled. pending good behavior. Tony Diadone. under conviction and sem tence of 20 years in the penitentiary for criminal assault. The parole came last night at o'clock and few minutes later Diadone was released from the county Jail where he has been since conviction pending an appeal to the supreme court. Attorney Mat Murphy, of the firm If Murphy & Turner, who defended him at his trial 2was awaiting with an automobile with several friends of Diadone and he was taken to the home of his bride of a few weeks, on whose testimony he was convicted. where he was received with open arms by those who had been instru- mental in his prosecution.
 Possibly never in the history of the state was a reconciliation between man and wife brought about under such un- usual circumstances. The story of Dia- done's arrest, prosecution and conviction reads more like romance of the medieval days of Europe than of the present cen tury.
 It will be recalled that at evening of day in last September, while an Italian girl named Mary Vitteles was walking with woman relative on the Southside,
 an automobile containing several young
 men rashed up and before assistance could be rendered by the many pedestrians
 near that point, the girl was seized and placed in the automobile and spirited | away. After several days sne was .o- cated in the rear of a house at Republic, and to the detectives that discovered her

GOOD cows

A good dairy cow should be light
In front and heavy behind, deep In the
middle and generally has a broad well,
defined esutcheon, prominent milk
vein, crooked and branching, ending
in a %capacious udder with four well
placed teats, from which It is not diff.
fcult to draw the milk, a thin, rather
long neck, fine head with full bright
eyes. She must have a good constitu.
ton and strong digestive power. We
believe that for the dairy sections OF
the west, that the COW used should
have g large percentage of blood Of
some n or other OF the dairy breeds.
She should in her milking season of
mine or ten months give not less than
5000 pounds OF milk and with kind
and generous treatment ought to give
up to 10000 pounds. II our farmers
will s've more attention TO selecting
this type OF a cow and then feed her
generously, d~airylng can be made a
most profitable industry.-Mutual
