KNAPP Statement
RELATES OPERATION
At ELVORD'S ROOM

When Prosecutor Keller introduced
a written statement of Arch Knapp re.
garding his transactions with Blind
Dick Elvord's blind tiger" at Hagers-
town, it provoked q sharp rebuke from
Attorney H. U. johnson on the prac-
tice of county prosecutors taking writ
ten statements from q defendant be-
fore he has had an opportunity OF
seeking counsel.
The statement was introduced with
out objection, however, but Prosecutor
Keller contended that the criticism of
Henry U. Johnson was unwarranted
because that statement had nothing to
do with the guilt or innocence Of the
defendant but merely shed some light
on tAe blind tiger" operations in
Hagerstown which were used in work
ing up the case against Elvord. who
was given a heavy fine in circuit court
and sentenced to the county jail.
Albert Steen, county sheriff, was
placed on the stand by the prosecutor
to verify the statements made by
Knapp which were written down and
sworn to by the defendant.
"What right has the prosecutor to
swear anybody to statement" said
Mr.. Johnson.
Fl don't know" replied the sheriff.
Don't you know that a person. un.
der constitutional right, does not have
to make statement" asked Mr.. John
| son.
mo I didn't know anything about
that" replied Steen.
Don't you know that it isn't fair to
a man accused of a crime to ask him
to give a statement before he had a
chance to confer with friends or coun'
sel," asked Mr.. johnson.
"No, didn't know that" replied
Steen.

VERDICT FOR Defendant
MEANS DRUNK PERMITS
MURDER SAYS Keller

"A hell-hole of iniquity,'' the way Attorney
Joshua Allen described the environment in which the
shooting of William N. Williams colored took place on
last Halloween night, for which Arch Knapp facing
the charge of voluntary manslaughter.
THE reason that Knapp fired the shot at Williams
because he had much of the cheap Dick Evords
blind tiger whisky in him that he unconscious of
anything around him. 1t drunken accident but
bereft of any criminal intent the part of Knapp. If
the blind tiger had not been there the killing would
have taken place for Knapp had ill feeling toward

SOME NOTES IN SEASON
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

The main planting season is over
now, but do not forget to look out
for and renew any plants that have
not thrived so far.
We miss part of the satisfaction
Of growing flowers where we do not
profit by last years experience and
utilize that knowledge to better our
home grounds this year.
Remember most flowers do not sue
coed in shady yard. If your garden
plot is of that nature do not despair
of having flowers, but wisely plant
the things that thrive in the shade
and take your toll in pansies, ferns
and other well-known lovers of shady
corners.
Do not work the soil too deeply
about plants that root close to the
surface; merely break the crust with
the claw-rake, or with the fingers.
Go over the garden after a hard
rain, loosening the soil and the hose
will not be so much in demand.
Keep the struggling geraniums out
back, and give rich food and plenty
of water and they will bloom until
frost and be in good shape for win
tering In the cellar.
Nearly all plants thrive best if
given plenty Of breathing space, either
by spacing when transplanting or by
pruning off the side branches. Many
plants give larger and better bloom
for this vigorous looping off.

GROW FERNS FOR A CHANGE
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

The ordinary way to propagate this
class of plants is by dividing the
plants, by the creeping rhizomes, by
the little bullets that form on the
fronds and by the seeds or spores
that appear on the underside OF the
leaves.
The enterprising fern lover will find
It most interesting to propagate by
spores and perchance produce really
valuable addition to these beautiful
and graceful plants.
Procure a seed pan or box with
plenty Of drainage holes and cover the
bottom with broken crockery.
On this place half-decayed sod and
fill with carefully mixed and sifted
leaf mold and sand.
Make the surface of the soil per-
fectly smooth and level and then scat
ter the spores on it and leave them
without any covering, that is of soil.
However. they must be inclosed in
glass by placing a pane Of glass over
the seed box or pan.
Water by placing the seed pan in
water and keep it there until the wa
ter appears on the surface of the soil.
Then remove at once, for too much
water will destroy the spores. Keep
the box in the light, but not the sun,
remembering that ferns naturally
grow in shady places and that we
should try and follow natures lead.

tillery heightened the ranges ana
swept the approach trenches ana SOL
diers' quarters in the rear OF the Ter
man position. At 4:S0 the first wave
of assailants climbed out OF their un'
derground shelters and threw them
selves into the wood. All the Germans
remaining in the first-line trenches
we're killed or made prisoner, and the
French line proceeded on to the east
ern edge of the woods, where they
rapidly organized their defenses
against the counter-attack.
Find Hiding Places.
At the same time special detach.
ments explored the interior OF the
wood, searching subterranean shelters
in which German infantry had sought
refuge during the bombardment. That
operation was soon interrupted; more
than two companies of German ihfan-
try that the French had passed
over in their rush, seeing that
their adversaries had reached the
eastern edge of the wood. came out OF
their blockhouses and dugouts and
took the French infantry In the rear.
The attacking party was for mo-
ment menaced with development, but
recovering from their surprise. they
turned their machine guns upon the
assailants, taking them in the rear.
The search of the woods, then re-
sumed, uncovered little companies OF
Germans hidden underground in all
corners. Their resistance was prompt.
ly overcome by the use of hand
grenades, and 60 more prisoners were
taken from the underground shelters,
which on inspection were found to be
marvels of field Notifications. They
ran from six to eight yards in depth,
most of them, and some of them were
dug to a depth of ten yards, with such
supports that they were able to resist
the largest and most powerful pro-
jectiles.
