TELLS JURY TO TAKE OFF SHOES
The state rejected Davis and DeGil-
lum. Their places were taken by Jo-
seph Curet Kiln and W. T. Moon, of Bay
st. Louis. After so many had objected
to capital punishment on circumstan-
tial evidence and others had expressed
views, the special venire of IS talesmen
was exhausted.
''Now, gentlemen OF the jury" re-
marked Judge Neville, "you may smoke
or do what you please to make your
selves comfortable. Take off your
coats; if your feet hurt you, take off
your shoes. / don't care"
| "But object to it," remarked one OF

asked if Ford or Marshall is or has been
counsel for any member in private

Bay st. Louis, filled out fifth dozen.
AS The Echo went to press this Sat-

roborated; it was strongly circumstan-
tial, although forming a strong chain.
Lester's first witness took the stand at

The Fl. Weston Lumber Company at
Logtown, believing in the live stock in
dustry and the agricultural possibilities
of Hancock county, with view of the
future regarding the time when the
timber will have been cut away, have
backed their faith by their works.
WESTON PARM A MODEL ONE.
Their farm in this county - above
Logtown, and located on the road be-
tween McLeod's and Picayune. is a
model, and not only success, but one
of the show places of the county. The
livestock here is of the Heresford breed,
and the silo on the place is an import
ant factor in the feeding of cattle and
keeping them in the ssplnk of condition" !"
throughout the year. The citrus and
pecan trees come in for much attention.
The latter are young, but fast matur-
ing, and it is estimated the first crop
next year will net the owners about two
thousand dollars.
FOR BEATS / AND 2, HANCOCK
COUNTY
Believing that there is only one way,
and that way the best, the FL Weston
Lumber Company has secured the SER
vices of w. o. Caswell, former county
agricultural agent, for Beats 1 and 2
Hancock county. The company will
pay Mr.. Caswell the amount formerly
paid him by the Board of Supervisors,
in addition to the pro rata share paid
him by the federal government as here
tofore, and his professional services
will be rendered free to all farmers of
the county living within the bounds of
the aforesaid beats.

people are to be commended for their
progressive spirit and far-seeing move,
and the people of the future will indeed
owe them deep debt of gratitude

Michigan will not be repeated here.

Fragments Of Bomb
Which Destroyed the
Nebraskan Are Here

NEW YORK, June g.-Fragments OF
the tordedo or mine which damaged the
American steamship Nebraskan of the
southern coast OF Ireland in May were
IN possession Of the State department at
Washington today. They arrived here
yesterday in a mail pouch from the
American embassy at London. brought
over by the American steamship New
York. Tho pieces OF metal were sent to
be examined by experts in hops that
they could determine definitely whether
the Nebraskan was blown up by mine
or a torpedo.
Captain Roberts of the New York said
he varied the course OF that steamer at
least twenty miles on each trip when
passing the southwest coast Of ireland to
avoid submarines.
