SAYS WRONG MAINS SERVING
 PRISON TERM

Hartford, Sept. 24-Corpora1 James A. Kilgallen of Boston was here this week to try to secure the release Of William Murray, who with John Xiii gallen and William Donovan, all of Boston, were convicted of having robbed the City Bank 6 Trust Com pany of $500 on May 5. 1918, and were sent to states prison. The cor pora1 claims that Murray is innocent and that the guilty man is John Kirby. Corporal Kilgallen told his story to States Attorney Alcorn and offered to bring Kirby here. He also had a number of affidavits to show that Murray was not in Hartford at the time thee rime was committed
 MT. AIcorn did not give much con- Sideration to the affdavits as he said he was convinced the right men were in prison and Murray was positively identified in the case by Hartford wit nesses, one of whom was a policeman. Mrs Donovan, mother of one of the prisoners, had Kirby arrested about nine months ago in Boston with the idea of having him held for the au- he admitted complicity in the bank robbery. At that time MT. Alcorn sent word that the man was not want ed here.
 It is Mr. Alcorn's belief that Kirby was secured to take upon his own shoulders the guilt of Murray The latter was given an additional sen tence of six months for contempt of court for saying he was sure he would not get a square deal in Connecticut John kilgallen, in addition to the sen tence for the robbery. is also serving two additional sentences for perjury, one of from three to five years. and the other for six months, for insisting g that Murray had nothing to do with the robbery.

DEMAND FOR FLAX STRAW

There seems to be considerable de-
mand for fax straw this year, accord
ing to advices received by James w.
Wilson, professor of animal husbandry
at State college. One firm writes that
the bailing of straw should not cost
more than $500 and hauling and
shipping may cost $500, leaving a
balance of $500 per ton for the farm
er or shipper.
The firm advises that the fax should
be cut low in order to get as much
fibre as possible. OF course, fax straw
has a feeding value for cattle. Per-
haps it has a greater value this year
for fibre than for feeding purposes.
Anyone interested in this subject
and desiring further information
should address the Union Fibre Com
pany at Winona, MINI.

Monday evening, according to the
testimony taken at the inquest by
Coroner Cox, the woman was at
tending the dance. The husband
came to the dance parlor during the
evening, pushed the door open, went
to the rear of the room where his
wife was sitting on a bench, said
something to her about going home,
and when she refused, he pulled his
pistol and shot her three times.
Jackson Immediately made his
escape. He has not yet beer cap
