DEFENDANTS IN
MACOMB TRIAL
FOUND GUILTY


Macomb. III, March DIR.
George Alverson and Mrs. Alice
Clugston were found guilty Satur-
day Of the murder Of the latter's
husband, Lawrence Clugston. 1t
Bushnell last July. DR.. Alverson
was sentenced to II years IN the
penitentiary. The state charged
the two had caused Clugston's
death by the administration OF ar
senic.
The jury was ont less than two
hours.
when the sentence was pro-
nounced the defendants maintained
the outward composure displayed
throughout their long Imprisonment
in jail, and during the three weeks
OF the trial. Only when Mrs. Clug-
ston's family gathered about her
did she give way to grief.
Attorneys for both defendants
Immediately offered a motion for q
new trial, and Judge Grier fixed
March II as the date for argument.
Case Sensational.
The Clugston trial has been one
of the most sensational in the his
tory Of western Illinois courts.
Lawrence Clugston, the murdered
man, died at the home in Bushnell
under circumstances which caused
his relatives and those Of his wife
to suspect foul play.
At the instance OF Mrs. Clug-
ston's father an investigation was
| begun. An analysis of Clugston' s
viscera showed that more than
five grains OF arsenic were found,
according to testimony offered AZ
| the trial.
| Testimony was introduced to
show that part Of the poison had
been taken by Clugston not more
than six hours before his death.
AS DR.. Alverson was declared to
have been the only attending ply
sician and Mrs. Clugston the only
nurse, suspicion narrowed to them
Alleged illicit relations between
the defendants and desire to gel
married, the latter evidenced by
love notes exchanged while the two
were prisoners, and the physician's
reported need for money to make
payment on Texas land which II
was charged he would obtain from
the victims insurance. were pre-
scented by the state as motives fol
the crime.

was decided upon at q conference

Administration and Prohibition.

Postmaster General Burleson, q dele
gate fram Texas, is en- route to the
San Francisco convention. At San An
tonic he declared himself as in favor
of the "repeal of the drastic and ab-
surd provisions of the Volstead act"
though he did not designate them. It
is reasonable assumption, however,
that he would lift the ban on light
wines and beer.
When this deliyerance reached San
Francisco by wire, Speculation at once
began as to whether Mr.. Burleson's
views on this matter might be accept
ed as these Of the President, and as
such would figure in the cenYention.
Why noti Mr.. Rurlesan is described,
and properly accepted, as "the poll
tician of the cabinet" Certainly he
stands very close to the President,
and goes to the convention with full
knowledge of tho Presidents attitude
toward all the issues the convention
will consider and pass upon. He
would not have spoken as he did at
San Antonio without feeling war
ranted in the expression. The weight
of his words, as he knew, weuld rest
upon the fact Of his being member
of the Presidents official heuseheld.
Moreover, the President veteea the
Volstead act, and Congress oyerrode
the veto. Has anything occurred since
to shew a change Of opinion on the
Presidents parti If the President
could have had his way, the volstead
measure would never have become law.
The drys, there is warrant for say
ing, have listed the administration as
wet influence in the convention. It
viii not &c as far as Gov. Edwards Of
New jersey wants to go. It does not
favor making the country as "wet as
the Atlantic ocean," 1t would not sup
port q proposition for the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment. But as
the President has already declared by
veto against the Volstesd act, and Mr..
Rurleson is declaring new for q modi-
fieation of the act, the administration,
not unjustly. is set dewn in the wet
column.

A Job Open in Germany.

If anybody wants high paid Job
there is one open now over the seas.
To be sure there are certain disad-
vantages. In the first place, it is in
Germany. In the second place, there
may be some difficulty on the score of
citizenship. But if the present trou-
BILE in filing the place over there con-
tinues, the German people may be will
ing to take anybody. This job is the
cbancellorship. 1t is most assuredly
hard to fill. Several optimistic Ger
man statesmen have tried recently and
have failed. The latest is Konstantin
Fehrenbaeh, president of the national
assembly, who, assured support by the
com Animation of different varieties Of
socialists and democrats, named a min.
istry that was dissolved before it be
gan business. For one of the varie-
ties of democrats or socialists came to
the conclusion that Fehrenbach did
not measure up exactly to the peculiar

swat the Fly!"

The annual warning has gone forth
from the health Office to "Swat the
fyl" This is the time to kill the pes
tifefous insects that carry disease. A
single fly can convey enough germs to
make an entire family ill, and have
some left over for the folks next door
A single pile of refuse in cellar or
backyard can breed enough flies to
affect an entire neighborhood if there
is a disease case within the range. An
unsereened house or an unclosed re-
frigerator is the fy's happy hunting
ground. The way to reduce the menace
to life is to kill every fly that can be
reached and, better still, to clear away
all possible places Of breeding, to root
cut all the refuse, to cover the gar
bage can-in short, to keep things
clean. A fly that is killed now is a
great gain toward health, because
every fly may be the means of breed
ing thousands of others. AS the
health officer says, not every fly car
ries disease, but every one may do so
and the safe course is to kill them all.
Washington is much more free from
fly danger than formerly, before the
people were aroused to the need of
systematic fly killing. But this is a
thing that has to be kept up inees-
sanity and systematically. "Swat the
fy!"
