James R. Mellow Found Guilty of Murder in the First Degree Attorney Roche to File Motion for New Tral-C. D. Chapmans Estate Inventories Only $16.6O6- of Amos P. Brown, Native of Preston-Fight in Synagogue

After being out for one hour and forty-five minutes, during which time the jurors had dinner, a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree was returned against James Rego Mellow Saturday in the superior court for Washington county, held in Kingston, the case having been on trial for a week. Mellow was convicted on the indictment of killing William H. Rhodes in connection with the triple murder committed at the old Kingston station, when Gustave and Oscar Ol- sen, brothers, were also murdered. Three days after the murders Mellow surrendered himself, claiming that he killed Rhodes in self defense and that he did not kill the Olsen brothers. Judge Doran in charging the jury ex- plained and defined what constitutes and manslaughter and said: Tn this case the defendant has said that he killed Rhodes, and this puts on him the burden of showing that the act was with justification. It is law that a man may take life, for the purpose of saving his own life. But the man must first show that he did it in self de- fense, that he was not the aggTessor."
 He charged the jury that the Olsens and Mellow lived in the house by right and that the evidence did not show that Rhodes was a treSpaSSer and had not been present there by invitation. Judge Doran concluded his charge at 12.01, and the jury retired with the exhibits.

There are two factions connected with the synagogue and the two men en- gagged in the fraCas are of the op- posing factions. Goldberg called for the police by telephone, and so did DeutCh. and the call of the latter reached the police first and Goldberg was arrested. He was arraigned in the Third district court and released on bonds. Both men were so severely in- jured that they required medical atten- ton.

and Destinn lifted his head as though
released from a hypnotic trance. A
little group OF men in white drill uni
forms were crossing the courtyard.
They were carrying something between
them-something that fought and
struggled.
Colonel Destinn's eyes were fixed
on the broad red line which ran from
north to south. past carefully marked
towns and villages, through white
spaces of open plain, skirting broad
waterways and low-ridged mountains,
to the immense yellow bank where 1t
ended abruptly. like some proud
thought that had come to nothing.
Colonel Destinn bent lower, his brows
contracted in impatient bitterness.
With a red pencil he struck off an inch
of the great line and marked it with a
cross. The place of the seven hundred
dead.
The door opened again. He did not
hear it. His knuckles were pressed
against his forehead, as though crush

Reams have been printed about the
danger from the house fly. Despite all
that has been said it is a self-evident
fact that people do not understand how
real is the danger from these pests. If
they did a single season would be suf-
ficient to wipe out the dangerous nui-
sances. Let people once understand
the part that the fiyeplays in the trans
mission of disease and they will look
upon anyone who maintains condi-
ton which breeds them as a public
enemy to be summarily dealt with.
There is much wasted advice about
swatting the fly and trapping the fly.
What we must learn to do is to exter-
inmate it by doing away with all
breeding places.
While it has not been definitely
proven what the fly has to do with in
fantile paralysis, we have good reason
to believe that it takes a part in the
spread of the disease. That they can
and do carry the germs of typhoid
fever and other diseases we know. 1t
is a wise mother who screens the
baby's crib.
Thousands of children under one
year of age die annually who would be
saved if the fly were eliminated.

Destinn looked up into the keen sig

Organizes that look as if they were
woven on the looms of the fairies have
occasionally appeared among the Sheer
white gowns for midsummer. These
fabrics are as gauzy as the wings of
dragoniy and about as crisp. But they
support fine embroidery and have been
made in edgings and fiouncings of I'M
equaled daintiness.
Evening and afternoon frocks have
been made of transparent organizes,
often in combination with wolfe or net.
They are to be worn over slips of taft
feta for the best effects. The finer
lingerie laces are used with them and,
for the handsomest frocks, princess,
renaissance and other handmade va
rieties are used. Organdie makes the
prettiest plaitings also and many mar
row-plaited ruffies help out in the en-
Enlistment of airy frocks.
1t is difficult to reproduce such I'M
substantial and gauzy materials in Il
picture, although they make a lovely
background for fine embroideries.

Couch Arrangement.

The following way of making up
couch when used as a bed will prove
satisfactory, provided the couch is of
that type which has sides that can
be let down like the swinging ends
or sides of kitchen table. Make up
the bed in the morning the same as
ordinarily, but when the sheets and
blankets are in place instead of tuck
ing them in at the sides, fold the
blanket and then the sheets smooth
ly from the sides toward the center.
Thus the bedclothes will occupy only
the top of the couch, leaving the sides
free. Drop the sides, spread a cover
over the whole couch and a neat re-
suit will appear. Have for the pillows
day covers like the couch cover
which can be easily slipped on nj

Orange and black stitching, in heavy

Some of the wrist-length glace gloves

Gray is a favorite color in the
gloves of the year. There are heavy
gray suede gloves, there are dressed
kid gloves in gray and there are gray
washable fabric gloves, all smart in

Whole Wheat Foods.

A grain of wheat contains Is ele-
ments and these. same substances or
elements are found in the body. That
is the reason why whole wheat foods
are so good for the children. Take
good clean wheat, wash and put to
soak over night, then cook in q double
boiler or in a fireless cooker until the
grains are soft. Serve with thin cream
or top milk with or without sugar and
your child has well balanced meal,
satisfying and appetizing.

Here are pictured two collars and
a collar with vestee, which are recent
additions to the already great array
of neckwear. The collars are made
of transparent organdie and the collar
and vestee of sheer organdie trimmed
with Venetian lace insertion. Collars
and vestees Of this kind are literally
used in finishing plain waists and
blouses In all sorts of materials to
give them the summary touch and the
becomingness of white about the face.
There is little difference in the two
collars. Both are large enough to be
classed among small capes and both
are made of plain, transparent organ
die. This material lends itself per-
fectly to narrow plaitings, and each
of these cape collars is covered with
rows of plaitings set close together.
In the collar at the left they are
stitched to the foundation cape and
turned over, and 1t is necessary to
press them down. In the other collar
the plaitings are hemstitched to the
plain cape.
The small vestee is frilled on to
short yoke at the front and slips
under the sides of the bodice, leaving
the collar free to fall over the Shout
ders and back. These manufactured
accessories are well made and accur-
ately cut and are so inexpensive that

doctor had explained to Madame Ar
maud with extreme gentleness, and had
been deeply moved by the manner of
its reception. She had not cried or
tainted. She had looked at him with
her warm brown eyes, and had given
him her hand with a quiet dignity.
"It is the will of God, doctor"
He had admired her immensely, and
she had admired herself. 'The will of

And now this woman was here-this
woman in the pale gray dress, with
the brown hair and small dead-white
face, out of which the eyes burned
with a fierce consuming energy and
purpose.
Mrs. Farquhar lies stricken with
total paralysis" Gabrielle Smith said.
"She cannot speak to me, but l can

her lips.
