only two things left her--her knowledge
Of her innocence and the hope that one
day il would be established
After thirteen years of prison life
came the news that the aged mother
is dead, and also there comes to Car
rie rumors that on her death-bed the
woman had made some sort of con
fesson that fixed the guilt of murder
upon herself and exonerated her
daughter.
With no one interested enough to take
official action the daughter stayed on
in her cell for four years more, pa
tient and hopeful.
one day there came into the prison
a woman, one of the wonderful help
full women of today who understand
women-Maior Jessie McEWon of the
Salvation Army, then Chaplain of
Women's Prison Work. In talking
with the women prisoners she was
attracted by the patient yet hopeful
look on Carries face and tactfully
drew from the reluctant woman the
story of the crime, her mothers part
in it and her years of sacrifice to
save llt dStu IuOlltT.
Living across the street from Carrie
and her husband and baby, the mother
had come into evidence of her son-in-
laws guilt with the woman visitor in
the home. Angered over the insult
to her daughter and brooding over the
wrongs of the once happy little home,
the aged woman, in a fit of drunken
in nj
the interlopng woman through the
heart. While she yet stood over her
victim with the smoking revolver in
her hand the daughter entered and
graspng the situation, with God.giVen
love and devotion, sent the old lady
home and assumed the guilt and later
the punishment for the murder.
No time was lost by the Salvation
Army worker in tracing down the facts
Of the murder and the judge who tried
the case enlisted her services and help
ed bring the case before the governor
Of the state, who quickly sent pardon
to the prisoner.
Now Carrie is living in one Of the
Salvation Army hOmes-a woman OF
fine and outstanding character-and is
doing her best to put into the hearts OF
the overburdened ones of the earth a
bit of her magnificent hope.
She represents a class of unfortu-
mates that is daily being benefited by
the Home Service work of the Saliva
ton Army which is to be expanded
by the funds to be raised in its drive
of this month.

State office of republican politics will

This situation developed at a meet
ing of democratic department heads
yesterday, following receipt from Gov
ernor Thomas +. Campbell of a written
request that all departments of the
state remain open all day as usual
during fair week. Those attending the
meeting agreed that inasmuch as it
had always been the custom for state
offices to close for the afternoon dur
ing fair week they saw no reason for
keeping open all day this year.

he felt it proper to keep the state Of

and from the beginning it was strong
one. It's headquarters was at Fort
Gunnybags. The arrest of Casey fol-

out of town, some of them coming to

NEXT MONDAY
Premier Air Daredevil To
Appear Opening D a y
With Full Equipment =
Will Be Feature During
The Fair

A, 1t was definitely announced by the
management Of the fair commission
today that Lieut.. Ormer Locklear,
premier daredevil of the air. will
stage his most spectacular stunt on
Monday, November 8, the opening day
Of fair week. Locklear and his me-
cnanicians and assistant pilots were
expected to arrive here today and all
arrangements have been made for set
ting up their planes on the landing
field, which will be in full view of the
graudstand.
Not only will Locklear change from
one speeding plane to another, his
thriller of thrillers, but rain or shine,
he will perform his aerial gymnastics
from the motor in front to the tail Of
the airplane, from the top wing to the
landing gear, and from one wing tip
10 the other. He is the originator of
acrobatics' and there seems to be no
competition in his hazardous occupa-
ton.
As youngster in Fort Worth. Tex.
Locklear was known as the dare devil
of the neighborhood. He always could
do more stunts than the other boys
even dared attempt. Climbing to the
highest hooks in tho barns of his
reighborhood and ascending the top
most branches Of the tallest trees was
his forte.
Played in Good Luck
Dizziness never affected him and he
has yet to receive a bad fall. When
he was old enough to ride a bicycle
Locklear was not satisfied to pedal
one like other youths of his age. His
trend always has been to the spectac-
ular. lie even built an incline down
from the roof of his fathers barn and
mad miniature "leap-the- gap" AT
first he was leaping feet Their
this became tame and he kept increas-
ing the length of the incline until hi
was hurting n 15-foot gap. His hi
cycle broke in two on one of these
leaps and his father wouldn't buy him
another.
Next came the days of the motor
cycle and Locklear was a happy bov
Tie was getting some real thrills with
these newest speed demons. Lock

Of the Fort Worth countryside. Like

the execution by the Vigilantes of

acters, among them James p. Casey
and James (Yankee) Sullivan, the for

executions took place in 1856, the law

by a series Of crimes committed by or

the murder by Casey of James King
