for IN. killing of Mira. williams. She
trembled percepitably as she stood 70
hear tn. verdict road. and shed tears
silently when Deputy Court Clerk L. H.
SIrhtenCale read the verdict In open
court She did not break down, now
ever. She. as we'll as her 1rienos' e'
IDENTIFY were prepared for Verolct h"u
ing her guilty of one OF the TWO 1orms
Of manslaughter, since the jury nan
come into open court and asked JuAo
Robinson for very explicit explana-
tion Of the two kinds OF manslaughter
| as defined by the law.
| There was Il good sized audience IN
! the court room when the verdict was
returned. Many Of the spectators hau
been in the court room since carly
! afternoon. some even remaining during
the two hours that the jury was a sup
/ per at the S:amm hotel.
No Demonstration.
/ The reading OF the verdict created no
demonstration. Judge Robinson had
warned that no demonstration would be
federated. and deputy sheriffs were sta
toned through the court room. under
orders to take before the bar any per
! sons making demonstration when the
verdict was read. To the seasoned OBJ
server of court trials. however. it was
apparcnt that the majority Of the au-
! dic1cc were friends of Mrs. coEkle's.
and that they had hoped 10 see her ac-
uuittcd. There were others however.
who seemed 10 share with the states
attorney the belief that the woman had
committed Il grave crime.
Mrs. ConElc. according 10 her own adj
missions. shot and killed Mrs. Pearl
Williams in the lattcr's home in Cen
fer Wheeling Il few weeks ago, accusing
Mrs Williams OF having broken up her
home. In the trial. Perry Conklc. testi-
fyiny in his wite's defense. told a story
of having gone 20 Pittsburgh with Mrs.
Williams and staying there with her as
his wife. Through the testimony OF a
musician. the defense attempted L"
show that Mrs. Williams was impeHed
IN do her deed by force OF which she
could not resist and the state contcEdcd
that she had said the day OF the killing
that while in Chicago, she made up her
mind tn do the deed.
AS result Of his testimony concern
ing his conduct with the woman MS
wife killed. Perry Conkle ia now held
under heavy bond for the state court.
and Assistant United States DistrNt
Attorney Charles !. Schuck has been
asked TO see If he is guilty OF violating

Long Controversy.
The strike order brings to a climax a
controversy between the packers ana

months. During the war the packing
plrnts operated under the AlSchuier
agreement. all disputes being referred
to Federal Judge Samu"! Alschu'er OF

Many Men Agreed to Cut.
Last month the four packing com

ten percent.
The unions asserted that the plan
assemblies did not represent the work

SCOUTS AT CAMP

The Boy Scouts have been in camp
at Pigeon Lake for four weeks and
have been having a glorious time. Over
hundred boys have enjoyed at least
a part of the camping period and some
all of it. The camp has been in charge
of Scout Executive Frank Chadwick
who is pleased with the results of the
work and expresses the gratitude OF
the boys to the citizens who made the
O. mn possible Last week thirty ucm-
bers of the Scouts council, adult adyis-
ers, were guests of the boys at camp
There was a ball game, supper, camp
fire and, of course, some speeches. The
hoys beat the elders ii to 5 in the ball
game. In tag of war thlrty-tour
scouts outpulled seventeen heavy
weight councillors.
The camp has really been big thing
for the boys. The military setting up
athletics, regular hours, outdoors me-
general habits of attention and obedl-
ence, moral teaching and general dis
cipline are invaluable to them physlc-
ally and in character building

FLY WITHOUT WINGS

A "human fy' came to town last
Friday. The best things about his per-
formance were his advance press work
and his good judgment in taking up
his silver Offering before doing his fly
stunts. In some. towns we have heard
of he would have been made to fly all
right. He probably needed some tan
glefoot to make his act complete and
couldn't get it here.
In the first place he flew into town
in a rafting fiivver instead of volplan-
ing gracefully from the clouds as his
advance notices promised. There was
big crowd awaiting around the court
house square, some in trepidation,
doubtless, over the hair-raising feats
they were to observe. The fly flew
around and gathered derby full Of
currency and then began his death
defying operations. He went up from
window to the one above and then
to the third floor by opening the win
dows but when he came to the over
hanging cornice, the only difficult
place in the ascent he paused and ex-
planned that he was not well. lie then
apparently INDUCED himself in long
needed nap while the youngsters in the
