He was tried and convicted at Brandon and sentenced to be hanged Shortly afterwards, and pending appeal to the supreme court the f.rotae. of the condemned man re- turned from France covered with medals of honor for bravery on the battlefield
 He at once began the uphill task of saw ing his brother from an igpominious death on the gallows Tn course of time
 his attorney invoked the old law of ouoran nobis and procured another hear ing on or@er of the supreme court. Two weeks ago the case was heard in New ton county, whence it was sent on change of venne. and jury of twelve men gave unanimous verdict that Hawie is crazy and a new rial was granted The second trial was to have been had this week, but Luther Purch, attorney for Hawie, succeeded in his motion for continu- ance and the case will be heard in Au- gust, insanity being the defense. Sev- eral alienists. among them the super intendent of a great lunatic acylum in Illinois, who happened to be In Missis- sippi on a visit at the time of the hear ing, all gave it as their opinion the defendant has been crazy since he was or years Of age. Ed HaWle. the nero of several of the bloodiest battles of the late war. who seemed to just bear a charmed fife, has canvassed the state in the interest of his brother, telling of his horrible experiences in France, and thus raising the money for the defense. The crime for which George Hawie was sen fenced to hang was one of the most hor- ribie ever committed in the state. Walk ing up on the back gallery of the girls home. where she sat smelling peas with her mother, the boy fired load of bird shot into her body. reloading his single barreied gun twice and shooting her three times as she ran through the house begging for her life; but it is believed hY rl1an1, that he has alrua vs l,aar cr.a z.z

In the last article we told you of
Townley's sisal and land enterprise in
Dade county. Florida, and related the
story from the time Townley became
interested in the project in 1916 up to
h time Of his financial difficulty at
Valley City, N. Dak., where he and
his attorney, and. his employees, Box
and Hastings, became involved in a
federal investigation as the result of
a. bank promotion and the ~reorganiz-
ing of a national bank into a state
hank to be owned and controlled by
League men. Hastings and Box were
being investigated by the federal
grand jury. Townley and ahis attor-
ney. Lemke, were involved, Hand the
newspapers were full Of chakges and
counter charges. Hastings vas about
to leave for Miami, to takeapeFsonal
charge of Townley's Florida under
taking. EIc vas to assume ownership
OF the project n Townl& wa to
deny any connection with +. but@the
federal investigation Of IIa1kings" ac-
tivities forced Townley to discharge
Hastings not only as and
trustee of the Florida venture but as
financial secretary of the Nonpartisan
League.
Here Mr.. Waters will continue the
story:
About the middle of March. 1919, I
was called from my bed at about mid
night, upon the arrival of the mid
night train from Fargo. by A. c.
-Townley, who informed me to get
dressed and come over to the Nc
kenzie hotel. Upon my arrival there
] found Townley in a very excited
state of mind. Mr.. Brinton was also
there. We retired to a DON and
there Mr.. Townley related to me .
long story OF his Florida promotion
scheme. the difficulty that he was in;
the necessity of getting some one to
assume ownership of it-and the dan
ger OF publicity-what it would NEAR
to him il it BECAME publicly known
that he was the owner Of 22,4oo acres
OF land away down in Florida. This
was my first knowledge of any inter-
est h a Mr.. Townley had outside of
his North Dakota promotions-with
which was more or less familiar.
Mr.. Townley related to me that pos
sibility of an indictment being re-
