Shopping Enjoyed
by GrOlOnups, Who
CrOIUd Toy Counters
Tommy ard Mary Go Along,
but Daddy MuSt Be Satisfied
in MechGniSnsS.
BY KATHLEEN MCKEE.

Along with Christmas Joys come
Christmas gifts. for what is Christmas
without presents. Along with Christmas
gifts come presents for the Riddles. for
what is Christmas without the pleasure
Of purchasing something for a big or
little baby?
When folks adopted the slogan "shOp
early" they evidently didn't forget to
put down on their list that doll for little
Mary or that engine for Tommy. There's
nothing that can compete with the con
sistency with which the crowds are
packed in the toy departments except
the contents OF a can of baked beans.
However, that's no implication that they
are all assets to trade.
Determined upon investigating the psy-
chology Of movement I set out 10 view
the attendance at the toy counters. l
get the impression that all the fathers in
the city were parked In front of one
little innocent toy engine which was
rotating around a couple of feet of two
inch track. Just why they couldn't find
the sight Of nice, large. honest-to-
goodn engine and train OF cars more
attractive. was mystery to me. Some
OF them camoufaged their presence by
bringing little Buster along TO view the
chOo-chOo cars. But they were all pres
ent minus or plus Buster, in varying de-
grees of attentiveness.

Probably Jerome has his heart set on a

Down the aisle ny attention was CEN

carefully endeayored to keep his tender
child from exerting himself in trying out
the toys

ished son when son tried to wind up

AMUSEMENT OF

Farther on down the way I saw
gentleman accompanied by twins Of the
lively investigating age. The twins were
securely held in tow by mother while
father tried out a train Of cars to see
whether they suited him. Having amused
himself with running them around for
several minutes during which the twins

twins opinion upon the train Of cars

remarked the saleswOman, returning a

woman comes in here she isn't satisfied
until she has seen everything from a rag

decides that she isn't quite sure what her

AMUSEMENT
TURNS TO FEAR

While the Jewett- Lemcke white leaders
were at first inclined to be amused at
the battle between the colored factions
they are beginning to be apprehensive
lest 1t result in the wholesale transfer
of the political affections Of the major
tiles of the negro workers and voters
from the present administration crowd
to the increasingly powerful anti admin
istration faction.
Should the administration break faith
with Fleming, Jackson and Broyles, after
all those astute politicians have done for
its chiefs they could change at least
fifteen and possibly eighteen of rhe
twenty-one negro precinct committeeman
into anti supporters The administration
was able to retain control Of the county
organization when Harry Hendrickson
was reelected county chairman last
spring by a narrow dozen votes. If eight

Matter OF Forgery.

In taking up the matter of forgery
of notes and receipts, Mr.. Pattangall
believed the testimony of the hand
writing experts might be of some val
he but believed it was not an exact
science, but one which required more
or less speculation. He did not be-
lieve that Burke would have made so
many forgeries. the total value of the
documents amounting to $1,000, when
single forgery only would have been
required He failed to understand
why the State had not introduced the
testimony. relating to the absence or
BARLEY when the notes were supposed
to have been given. at the previous
trial when they had it in possess
sion at that time He also believed
that if there had been forgery the
Burkes would have determined def
nitely where BARLEY was before dat
ing the questioned papers. Mr.. Pat
tangan rather warmly said Il regret
that in a case of this importance that
I was Obliged to listen to such con-
temptble testimony" At this point,
recess was declared and in opening,

in which he. Nelson w. BARLEY. was
killed was between $50 and go
according to the attorney He credit

| Bowdoin analysis expert, as being the
two witnesses who fixed the time of
Bartley's death. The former heard
shots in the Sugar Berth Woods on
the night of the murder, but Grace
Haggan and her companion riding in
the woods at the same time heard no
shots. He referred to DR.. Whittiers
testimony as differing from the testi-
monv of DR.. White for the defense, re-

the blow down and the pool of blood

portance in the time phase of the case.
Mr. Pattangall cited DR.. Boothby,
witness for the State as having testi-
fed that BARLEY bled from six to
eight minutes which by Mr.. Pattan-
CALLS reckoning brought the time to
seven or eight minutes OF nine; after
that the body had to be carried over
the trees, thru the underbrush and
put in the blow down. Mr. Pat
tangall further contended that the au-
tomobile, according to the evidence,
had been left one eighth of a mile
away, but that the car had reached
Moose River village at nine o'clock.
He referred to the testimony of differ
ent people who had not seen cars
coming down the road between five or
ten minutes of nine and up to the
time Burke was shot. He also cited
the inconsistency If murder had been
planned by Burke. and that his wife
was knowing the conditions, that he

Atty. General Sturgis

The afternoon session was devoted
to the argument of Attorney General
Sturgis i'm his last effort for the prose-
cution. With the exception of short
recess, Mr. Sturgis argued from 2,3o
until 40 o'clock,
you must move with utmost eau
ton. You must know all that we
know, that you may render justice
This is called State case. You are
and and all Of us are the State. The
County of Somerset said he ought to
be tried and ought to appear before

Nelson BARLEY and John Burke. 1t is

Burke. II must be tried ont for two

In arguing for the State, the At
torney General, quoting testimony
given by the witnesses for the State,
said that computation would show
that Burke had ample time to murder
BARLEY, place his body in the blow
down or cave and then return to the
place where he shot himself in the
leg. The attorney-general said that
the greatest proof that 1t was self

the skin about it was blistered.

Oct. Ebay of Much Significance
Mr.. Sturgis went back to the date
Of Oct 10 which in Jackman for the
last two years has been a date OF
much significance, in 1918 because Of
the disappearance and 1919 because Of
the Moose River Centennial He
followed the evidence of the witness
es from the time of the telephone call
to which Mrs Burke replied while
washing her dinner dishes and the
alleged conversation which followed
between Burke and BARLEY. He told
of Grace Haggan and James Mason
not seeing any car on Piper st. and
Boothman Road as they started on
their ride on the night of Oct Is, but
of their seeing a car near the Arm
strong Bars as they rode thru Sugar
Berth Woods Later they saw a car
near the Boothman Road and when
Mason left Miss Haggan and walked
home, there was still car at the
Boothman Road.
THAT car took them away from
S.25 to $50 1t WAS three and one
quarter miles from Moose River House
to Armstrong bars. If this was the
car. they stopped at Armstrong bars,
headed south and got out. Now Mr..
Burke was up there the Sunday be

in Holdens field. l think the evil

couldn't be collected with BARLEY liv-

motive ascribed for the killing OF
BARLEY. He considered particularly
the openness of Burkes movements
and, as he said, examined the chain
put together by the State to find out
the weak places. THE State rides
two horses at once. at first that Burke
hated BARLEY and then that he had
nothing To hate him for" Attorney
Pattangall then spoke of the openness
Of Burke's actions in taking day time
and Sunday to select the place for
the murder, standing around in the
road for two hours talking with Per-
lev Crook and Everett Stewart; of his
ride back to town with someone who
took him in and of his going to the
drug store and conversing there. He
rldculed, in a rather easy manner,

ing. as a guide of Burke's to the place

did not have her remain at home In
order that she might testify to Bart
lev being there and attempting to
shoot him Again, the clothes of
BARLEY in which he met his death
were shown, as were those of Burke
to remind the jurors that BARLEY s
were soiled and Burke's clean. Mr..
Pattangall touched lightly upon the
absence of blood stains on Burke s
clothing. the dampness of the soil and
the necessity of artificial support to
the arm and leg in order to have
found them at elevated positions in
the cave. Relative to Dr. McGrath,
Mr.. Pattangall limited that from the
number of autopsies he had per
formed. this noted specialist must
have carried out four autOpsies daily
during his official life time, and also
that he had been in court "A large part
OF the time. In arguing the law
grayitation, Mr.. Pattangall said Even
the great DR.. McGrath cant suspend
the law of gravitation.' He then re-
ferred to the position of the limbs of
Nelson BARLEY as they were found in
the cave as silent testimony indicating
that BARLEY was not killed and put
away in the time that Burke could
have performed the deed.
He treated upon the smuggling bust
ness. mentioning the implicit faith
two persons usually had for one an
other when engaged in unlawful deal
ings and thot it not unnatural that
the barn where the liquor was said
to have been hidden was left UNI
locked in order not to arouse suspi-
cion. He paid a tribute to the cour-
tesy of the attorneys for the prosecu-
ton and one of admiration for Burke
and his little wife. They have al
ways been cheerful and haven't ex-
pressed any bitterness to anyone,
added the lawyer. Il want you to
weigh this case just as you would like
to have it weighed II you sat in John
Burke's chair" said Mr.. Pattangall,
lust before he closed an argument,
simple in words but weighty in a
careful survey of the prosecution dur
ing the two weeks trial.
Widow and Relatives Weep
When the clothes OF Nelson w.
BARLEY were exhibited in the court
room. his widow bowed her head and
wept. His twin sister, Mrs. Willie
Elliot also cried as Mr.. Pattangall ar
gued while the other sister. Mrs. May
Williams of California, showed much
emotion. Other relatives Of the
BARLEY family were in tears while
across the court room, from her seat
near her brother, Mrs. William Nor
risette, a sister of John Burke, also
wept. Mr. Burke himself was as calm
as usual and his wife, who was ac-
companied by her niece, Miss Ida
Moore, was equally calm and collect
