A LIFE OF CRIME
ssKing of Jewel Thieves Dies
Today for Wife Murder.
Son of Wealthy Colorado Man,
Who Refuses Him Aid.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 24.-Ed-
ward H. De Weese, convicted of the
murder of his wife, Fanny Fisher De
Weese, was executed in the state pris-
on yard here this morning at 6:55
o'clock. He walked calmly to the
chair and permitted himself to be
strapped securely by sheriffs depu-
ties, insisting that the marksmen COM
prising the firing squad make certain
of their aim. Death was almost in
Simultaneous.
Edward H. De Weese, self-styled
King of Jewel Thieves" chose to be
shot for the murder of his wife. Mrs.
Fanny Fisher De Weese, of New York.
Her body, terribly mutilated, was
found in a Salt Lake City lodging
house, September rs, 1916. The head
had been so battered and the body so
mutilated that every possible mark of
Identification had been destroyed.
The police had as a clew only the
fact that De Weese and the murdered
woman had registered a few days be-
fore the murder as Mr.. and Mrs. D.
c. Robbins. In December, 1916, De
police, explaining his alleged many
jewel robberies and giving as an ex-
cuse for his surrender to the police
his desire to clear himself of any pos
sible suspicion of the murder.
He declared that he and his wife
had been followed by two men on the
| night of the murder. He took her to
their room, then left, he said, for the
purpose of robbing two or three resi-
dences he had been "spotting." He
said he found his wife had been MUIR
dered upon his return to their room
| early in the morning, and fearing ar
rest because of his past criminal rec
ord. he fled.
Jury Decided Quickly.
De WeeSe was returned to Salt
Lake City and tried for murder. The
| trial was one of the most. sensational
in the criminal history of Utah. Every
peremptory challenge of both the
prosecution and defense was used be-
fore a jury was secured. The jury
brought in a verdict of guilty few
minutes after retiring.
The murdered woman was the
former wife of Henry w. Fisher, q
New York haberdasher. She met De
Weese when he was an employe OF
Fisher and eloped with him to Reno.
| where she secured divorce and mar
ried De Weese.
| De Weese was the son Of Dial De
| Weese, wealthy orchardist of Canon
City, Colo, well known hunter for the
Smithsonian institution. The father
refused to aid the son or take AMI
| part in the trial.

It Works! Try It
Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn SO IL lifts
out without pain.

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-
ing freezone, the ether discovery of a
Cincinnati man, which is said to loos-

fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost
very little, but is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet of every hard or soft
corn or calluS.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out without
pain. 1t is a sticky substance which
dries when applied and never inflames
or even irritates the adjoining tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore resulting
from the suicidal habit of cutting

saying the congress of Vienna was

Somebody predicted some time ago
that the next Governor of North Car
olina would be a soldier who served
in France. Certainly any who oppose
soldier candidates for office are going
up against hard race. The first sol
dier to announce himself in this State
is, we believe, Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt
commanding the 105th engineers, 30th
division, who is declared in respon-
sible quarters to have definitely de-
termined to enter the race for Gov
ernor in 1920. AS State geologist and
enthusiastic advocate of improved
highways, DR.. Pratt was well known
over the State before he entered mill
tary service. His decision to enter
the race puts a different face on the
outlook.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas again! How quickly it
has rolled around, or with what lead
en- feet the months have dragged by,
according to whether you are on the
shady or sunny side of a certain in
visible and variable line that divides
the days of the years of the part of
vast eternity we spend here below.
With feverish haste we have thread
ed the days and shot them through
with purposeful effort; or maybe we
have loitered at times and allowed the
golden moments to slip through idle
fingers as though we had uncounted
millions Of moments to throw away
and few precious ones more or less
skilled nothing; or we have careless
1y "doffed the world aside" and bade
it "go burn"
All's one for that. Passed the days
slow or fast, whether we waxed hot
or cold in the purpose we formed when
the year was young, we all have come,
by slow stage or fast express, to the
gladdest season Of the year.
And what are we going to do about
it, now that the Great Day draws
nights even here?
1t is written that by taking thought
none of US may add one cubic to his
