MRS. KENYON'S FATE
MHANDS OF JURY

Norwich, Conn.,. Oct. 21.-The fate
of Mrs. Maybelle Kenyon, charged
with the murder of DR.. Herbert
Tetlow, is in the hands of the jury.
The last word in the case was
spoken here this afternoon when
Prosecutor H. A. Hull, completing
his argument, warned the jury that
Mrs. kenyon was a consummate
actress playing a part.
At the end of the day Mrs. Ken
yon was too weak to move, spent
by emotion. A crowd of neighbors
and friends from Westerly, the
nearby town in which she lives,
kissed her and spoke words of
courage to her.
In plea for Mrs. Kenyon's ac-
quittal, Herbert W. Rathbun, her
chief counsel, moved some of the
jurors to tears when>he asked them
to acquit her.

DEMOCRATIC
HANGOVER

The government floating debt was
increased by $3O,285,230 during May.
that is. expenditures exceeded re-
ceipts by that amount. Until June 80,
1920, the country will continue to suf-
fer from the hangover effects of the
Democratic legislation. Before the
Republicans took control of the two
houses of congress and assumed the
charge of appropriations from the ma
tional treasury, the Democrats had
passed many of the important ap-
preparation bills for the fiscal year
ending June 80. The extravagant
items contained in those measures,
enacted with little thought of the
amount of revenue that would be
available to meet them, are responsible
for the steadily mounting deficit in
the country's finances. The money
supply bills for the next fiscal year
have all been passed under Republi-
car auspices, after a close scrutiny
that cut almost a billion and a half
dollars from the estimates of the
Democratic heads of departments.
