Garden City, Sept. 12.--Sheriff o. H.

case against Blanche Hays. on trial
charged with the murder of her hus-
band in August, 1917, testified to be-
ing called one night, during August,
1917, by Mrs. Hays, and finding her
husband, Charles Hays, lying dead on
a bed, a wound over his right temple
and revolver lying on the bed be-
side him The sheriff also introduced
discriminating letters, found upon Ell
bert Richards, the alleged imam in the
case" These letters were identified
by Richards when he was taken to
the penitentiary last March, after con-
viction for non-support of his wife.
The most DANA ging evidence offered
by the prosecution was a signed con-
fession which Mrs. Hays made in
October, 1917, to Abe Schulman. pres
ent county attorney, and Fred J.
Evans, the incumbent at that time, in

revolver and shot him in the head.

tel register, showing where a woman,

her own behalf, and her testimony
consisted of a general denial of the
charges. the alleged confession held
by the county attorney and that she
had ever had improper relations with
Richards or any other man. Her
manner was positive and self con-
trolled upon taking the stand, but
showed some signs of weakening I'M

The local officials of the society have received . request to send in all the good old clothes they can find.
