May Move To Escape Taxes.

Millions of German emigrants are
expected to settle in Argentina and
Chile as soon as transportation is
available. This is the opinion en-
tertained by those on the Isthmus of
Panama who have followed the trend
of events in South America closely,
and whose sources of information are
important and trustworthy. The
Germans themselves in South Amer
lea have begun already to say that
Germans who wish to escape the Sc
verify of the peace terms imposed on
them may do so by leaving Germany
and settling in South America. There
is every reason to believe that this
movement may assume dimensions
such as was never experienced in the
palmiest days of emigration to the
United States from all European
countries combined.

Mrs. Riser Freed.
Was On Trial For Murder OF
Her Husband.

After a recess of two weeks the Cir
cult Court for Carroll County reconven-
ed at Westminster, on Thursday of last
week to hear the case of Mrs. Alice
Kiser, for the murder of her husband,
Frank Kiser on Wednesday night, Feb
ruary IL, at Harvey, inficting a wounds
in the head from which he died at the
Frederick City Hospital. The Kiser's
were well-to-do, owning several farms
and Mr.. Kiser for number of years
operated bi-weekly truck to Baltimore.
Though both were about S. years of
age, for long time Mrs. Kiser had sus-
pected her husband of liason with
farmers wife in the neighborhood and
she claims to have warned him to desist.
The courtroom was crowded with wit
nesses great number Of farmers and
truckers leaving their work in the field
to attend the sensational trial.
The'case was given to the jury at
l1.55 and after being out about two
hours reached the conclusion that Mrs.
Alice Kiser was not guilty of the muir
der of her husband, by reason Of her de-
ranged condition at that time, and that
she is now saner.
States ATTORNEY William L. seabrook
made no vigorous effort to have the jury
bring in anything but verdict of man.
slaughter, and in his argument he con-
coded that the defense had proved that
the woman's state of mind was not nor
NAL. He contended, however, that the
burden of proving insanity rested heavily
upon the defense and warned the jury
not to be misled entirely by the testi-
mony of the defense's expert alienists,
DR.. Adolf Meyer, DR.. John Oliver and
other well-known mental specialists.
They had testified that the woman was
suffering from "cerebro arterio chloritic
deterioration" which in the laymen' 3
language means that she was virtually
unbalanced, due to- hardening of the
arteries and other organic troubles, all
of which was brought to crisis by her
husbands alleged attentions to Mrs.
Ida Reeves, the woman in the case. !"
Therefore, when the jurors remained
out until o'clock speculation ran rife
as to what was holding them for there
was no denying the fact that the defense
represented by Attorney Edward o.
Weant and F. Neal Parke, had made out
strong case.
Mrs. Kiser remained in the courtroom
by the side of her soldier son, Este Kiser
all during the long wait. She ate no
lunch. Then. when the jury finally re-
turned she showed no visible emotion.
In fact, she didn't even look up at the
members when they took their place in
the box.

Car And Truck Collide.
Chauffeur Hurt And Car
DemOIiShpd
Demolished.

On Sunday last, Messrs Paul Hoffman
and Guy Lewis were bringing two heavy
automobile trucks from Baltimore to
Thurmont, the trucks being recently
purchased by Mr.. L. r. Waesche for
use on the road now being built from
Lewistown to Creagerstown.
At the intersection of Nunnery Lane
and Frederick Road, Hoffman met with
an accident that might have cost him
his life. A street railway line runs along
the Frederick road and as Hoffman came
from Nunnery Lane on to the track one
of the big Catonsville-Towson cars struck
his truck. The impact threw him high
in the air and he landed on his back be-
tween the rails. His face, hand and
back were cut and piece of glass forced
through one of his shoes. He was given
medical assistance by DR.. d. M. Stultz.
The front of the trolley car was damaged
but the motorman escaped uninjured.
The truck was new one, and it was up
set and badly damaged.
Hoffman was brought home by Mr..
Clinton Weasche who had taken him to
Baltimore.
The truck driven by Lewis was gotten
nearly home without mishap.
1t is stated by persons familiar with
the road that the point of accident is
very dangerous, trees and shrubbery
hiding the car track entirely from view.
Hoffman has been able to be about,
but suffers from his many cuts and
bruises
