SOMEBODY LIED.


We are not going TO rehcarse ta'
sordid details OF the crime OF thu
Denver society woman who was freed
a few days ago on the charge OF muir
dering lrcr husband. as they have been
pretty well aired through the columns
OF the press. However. there are some
matters an connection with the trial
which lead one 10 use the somewhat

During the last hours o, the trial
four personR who had taken an oath
20 tell .the truth. the whole truth and
nothing but the truth" testified that
the defendant had on a cerain night IN
January preceding the tragedy. regis

name OF Mrs. Miller OF Detroit. and
had while at the hotel conducted her
SELF In a manner 10 indicate that she
sought the life os her husband. whom
she later killed. This testimony. which
took the defense completely by sur
prise. was Of a most damaging char
s,ter 20 the defendant. To apparently
ellnoh the case for the defense a hand
writing expert testified that the Sig
nature on IN hotel register was that
OF the defendant.
Two days later woman who had
been hastily summoned from Detrois
testified In court that she and not the
defenlSnt VS. the woman who had
registered az the hotel under the name
OF AVE.. Miller" Furthermore. she
proved il without tho shadow OF a
doubt ana the hotel manager. the
night clerk. the bell boy and the por-
ter who had positively identified the
defendant as that woman came back
on,o the witness stand and tepudiaied
their previous testimony. Also. the
handwriting expert who had been so
positive in his former testimony came
back voluntarily and admitted that
he was wrong.

Record Wheat
Yield Reported

MAYSVILLE, Okla. July l2,-The
biggest wheat yield so far reported In
this section of Garvin cour,ty this year
was made by George Myers, 4 farmer
living two miles east OF Lintsay In the
famous Washita bottom This field Of
wheat, twenty six acres, was threshed
Wednesday, and turned out thirty
seven bushels to the acre Pitchers at
the thresher say the bundles were so
heavy that they packed on the wagons
more like cord wood than ordinary
grain At the prevailing price for
wheat here this crop will bring more
than $1,000 for the twen,y-six acres
The majority OF the wheat throughout
this section made an average yield OF
from twelve to twenty-five bushels,
very few fields falling below ten.
