Ketch, administrator Of the Hamon
estate, left the room when the jury
retired.
In closing his argument, Attorney
General Freezing said:
Nobody wants great penalty
for her. II l could get the consent
of my conscience. would ask you
to acquit her. God knows Il is
costing me more to ask you to con-
vict a woman than II will cost you
to render a verdict against her" the
Attorney General continued.
Don't cruelty a man who is in
his grave and cannot defend him
self.
Let Jake Hamon take the great
burden, If you will. but don't come
and say that Clara Smith had no
responsibility.
In arguing for the defense. Joe
Ben Champion, twin brother OF the
presiding judge, characterized her as
IAN innocent country girl' whom
Hamon had educated on the pretext
that she was to be his stenographer
but really that he might lure her TO
yield to his physical brutality
Dramatically he declared that could
the grave open, Jake Hamon would
admit that he was more TO blame
than the girl.
At one point in Champions argu-
ment, when he criticised j. S. Null
len, a friend Of Hamon, for "coun-
tenancing" lannon's relations with
Clara, Val Mullen, a brother Of j. S.
Mullen, took hold of the lawyer
arm, interrupting him, but Sheriff
Garrett warned the man to make no
further demonstration.
James II. Mather. in pleading for
Clara's acquittal, declared that she
, had helped accumulate lannon's
millions. but that the jury could not
weigh gold against her tears.
The defendant at frequent inter
walls wept during the attorney
/ charges.
II tell you the bullet which caused
Jake lannon's death was the just
execution Of the sentences OF God,
Mathers cried to the jury.
Mr.. Mather's pleading brought
tears to many spectators
Murder was not in the heart OF
this defendant II was her defense
against a brutal attack on, an act
against a man she loved" Matheri
said.

prevailing view here. The United

Principal Allied and Associated Pow

Sometimes it looks as If he will sue

the trouble is the Allies are the re-

unless America wants to resume her

rights the Allies want to grant. The
Question has proved the most perplex-

"a Wise Fool Scored"

Presenting charming pictures OF
life in Quebec, "A Wise Fool" an un-
usually refreshing George Melford
production for Paramount. scored a
decisive hit at the Wilson Theatre
yesterday. The story which is based
lon Sir Gilbert Parker's novel, 'The
Money Master" deals with an egot-
istical French-Canadfan philosopher
who is wrapped up in his own dreams
Of se1f-importance, but who is later
ldisillusioned when he makes the dis
[covery that the outside world knows
him no better than the merest worm
that crawls. James Kirkwood makes
|the most of this exacting role and he
lis admirably supported by Alice Hol-
lister and a cast of picked players.
The picture is well worth seeing, for
aside from the dramatic interest of
|the story, the various scenes have
be endelightfully photographed.
The picture is being shown again
today.

possible, however.
Requests from over the State are
being received for assistance in put
ting on the vaccine campaigns and
the State Board of Health is COM

prophylaxis than ever before.
Fire chiefs in the cities and towns
of North Carolina are today called
upon by Commissioner Stacey w.
Wade to report to the State Depart
ment of Insurance all fires which
carry with them losses. The commits
sioner's letter follows:
81 am today sending the treasurer
of your city check for the Firemen's s
Relief Fund collected by this office
for your department requesting him
| to notify your treasurer that it is
subject to his order.
''This fund is distributed with the
understanding that the fire chief in
each city and town will report to this
/ department all fires occurring therein.
We have forwarded blanks for this
numerous press notices of fires not re-
ported to this Office lead us to be-
lieve that not all OF the chiefs are
observing this requirement.
''The statistics of the department
regarding fires is more important
now than ever before, and their value
depends upon the full cooperation of
all officers in making reports which
may contribute to such statistics.
desire to urge, therefore, that you
keep this matter in mind, calling up
on us for blanks if you have none,

ing's invitation to discuss disarma-
ment proposals. In view of his being
in close touch with the Canadian
Premier what Grafton O'Leary now
in the interests of Canadian rowspa-

of interest. He cables:

Ottawa before the 1st OF August and
clear up whatever political and ad-
ministrative problems that are
awaiting him, there and prepare to
go to Washington.
O'Leary says that Premier Neigh

Times today in which he said:

tion that learned OF President Har-
ding's notable announcement. No

closely connected problems of the

settled by full and frank consulta-
ton among the nations chiefly inter-

out of the Va. League in the first
half, one Mr.. Sam Potts of the Nor
folk Landmark in his cover the Pan
For Fans casually suggests that it
is high time for the Moguls of the
said league to cut out the small
towns in the circuit, so that more
games can be played in Richmond,
Portsmouth, Norfolk, Newport News
where the money Is to be made in
baseball. OF course this is nothing
less than direct thrust at the two
Carolina towns, but IL the Grand
Moguls will be SO kind as to refer to
the statistical records which can be
found in Mr.. Bradleys Office in Rich
mond they will find that Wilson and
Rocky Mount have not yet called for
any outside financial help, nor has
either town shown any disposition to
forfeit its franchise. AS for the at
tendance in Wilson that is also a
matter of record, and we are not
prepared to admit that there is more
than two towns in the circuit that
has paid in more money to the treas
ury than has Wilson up to date.
In the local scribes opinion this is
poor and underhanded manner in
which to acknowledge defeat, and
truly unspotsman-like in every par
ticular.

full single through second and thus
