"Obituary Notice"
John, son of William and Sarah
Barleycorn, was born in the old coun-
try years ago, and died in the United
States of America, January 16, at mid
night
He was married to Miss Brewery
one hundred years ago. To this union
several million children were born,
thousands now in the penitentiaries,
prisons, almShouses and hospitals for
the insane throughout the country
His sickness was of short duration,
as his condition did not become alarm
ing until September %. last year. Two
hundred and five specialists of the ma
ton gathered to hold consulto ton,
III decided that there was no hope
for him, "a holding out that the case
was not fatal The "a specialists
worked hard for their old friend, us
ing every means in their power to
prolong his life, but John finally died.
Before dying John resigned all to
the Devil. He had many friends in
Wisconsin, and some especially dear
ones in Lancaster who mourn his loss
like brother.
His death has stirred the nation as
no other great event has for some
time. The old home is so lonely with
the crepe on the door that his chill
dren and friends are weeping with
great sorrow.
John ruined many homes, blighted
characters and damned souls. 1.-THE
fool hath said in his heart there is no
God"
The funeral took place January 16,
1920. Many places of business were
closed in his honor-never to open
again. His remains were buried in
Memory Cemetery, where he will
sleep until resurrection morning,
when he will hear the doleful denun-
citation, Depart from me We cursed,
into everlasting fire, prepared for the
Devil and his angels" There were
no flowers, but the funeral was pub
lie.

TOM WILSON |S. FREED OF CHARGE. IF WIFE MURDER.
After Five Hours Delibera- tion Jury Clears the Man Whose Wife Was Slain in East Adams Street House

Nose From Wilson was exonerated of a charge of wife murder by jury in Judge R. c. Stanfords division of the superior court last night after de- The mot guilty verdict was returned at 10:15 o'clock, when hope had about been abandoned for an agreement be- fore morning.
 The defendant was arrested and for mally charged with the murder of his wife a few hours after her body was found in the Wilson home on East Adams street November 6, last. Will sons contention throughout the long ordeal of his confinement in the county jail and subsequently his trial was that the shot was fired by gun in the hands of his wife and while he was grappling with her for it's possession.
 Shaved Mustache
 The prosecution attempted to make much of the fact that he immediately left the home following the shooting and attempted to disguise himself by having his mustache shaved off, to- gether with the location of the wound on the body. In fact, these were the main issues presented by the state in the prosecution of the case.
 Defense witnesses. however, testi- fled the defendants character, his quiet, loving attitude toward his wife at all time. Neighbors were also sworn by the defense who testified that the wifeS demeanor toward the defendant was vile and abusive and that she frequently cursed and struck at him.
 The defendant took the witness stand in his own behalf yesterday and told of domestic conditions for a period of several months prior to the tragedy He told of his great love for his dead wife and the remorse that he had suffered since the incident that oc- caSiOned the tragedy.
 Attorneys Carl "A. Davis and Arthur L. Goodman appeared as defense coun- sel. County Attorney L. M Laney was in charge of the prosecution, aided by Herman Lewkowitz, assistant county

No State" Platform"

No "State" Platform,
 One of the contestants wrote plat form contest headquarters yesterday asking for a copy of the state plat form. To clear up any doubt on this point haste is made to point out that q national platform for the Repub- lican party is the vehicle of this con- test Those competing in the state wide contest are writing national platform. Those competing in the na- tional contest are also writing a na- tional platform.
 An Arizona Citizen" has ofasrSs S1,000 in prizes. to be divided into prizes of $500, $500 and S200, for the best platforms for the republican party in 1920 submitted by young men and women of the state, this contest to be conducted along the lines of the national contest in which prizes totaIing s1O,000 have been of fered through the Republican National Committee for the best platforms, sub mitted by young men and women of the United States who are not over p years old. The prizes in the na- tional contest at s6,000 for the first, S3.00o for the second and $1,0OO for the third.
 Write One Platform
 The two contests are similar, the only difference lying in the fact that one is national and the other is linn tied to young men and women of Ari- zona, who need only prepare one plat form, with the requisite number of copies, to compete in both contests. It is clear that they have a double opportunity of taking a prize.
 Due to the fact that it often takes from four to six days for a letter to reach Washington, though on occasion the postal service is speedier, con- testants should allow ten days in send ing their manuscripts to the national contest. The contest closes on March 31. Your manuscript should be in the mails. then. by March 22. The state platform contest headquarters will for ward it for you if it is received by this date.
 The national contest calls for one signed copy of your platform. and three unsigned copies, and a signed statement to the effect that you are eligible for competition, that is, that are not over 9 years of age. This rule applies also in the state contest. If you compete in both contests, it will be necessary to make eight copies.
