Of two states.
A bride of four day is dead. Tie
state police say that she committed
suicide. Others believs her TO be d
victim Of foul play All agree. how
ever, that if she is Il suicide, it is
the most amazing case CT self-destruc

annals
The young woman, Mrs. Norah
johnson Kettelle, was Tie bride OF q
Harvard .1nan and daughter of a So
rially prominent Boston and New
York family. The bridegroom is John
- kettelle Of Cambridge. The!i
union, in the eyes Of their friends
was an ideal match"
College SWeetheartS.
The man and the girl We're college
day sweethearts and had been engaged
for five years. They were married at
the home Of the brides aunt in New
York and Immediately sought the
woodland cabin Of a friend on Lake
Mashapaug to spend what was to be
the happiest period of .heir lives.
Four days passed-fcuI days Of eA-
treme happiness, the husband said.
Then kettelle went to the village
to purchase supplies. When he re-
turned his bride was missing. An
empty boat on Lake Mashapaug was
the only clue to her whereabouts.
After a search of .line days the
girls body was found in the lake
weighted down by an anchor. One
end CT the auchor rope of more than
II feet in length was tied tightly
around her neck
The medical examiner declared
death to be due to strangulati0n and
not to drowning.
The state police said it was clea,
case of suicide.
} Theories Raised.
What would cause bride of -four

XII KLuX FADES

Dickinson, Oct. 1.-Ku Klux Klan
worries are a thing Of the past in the
Richardton vicinity for a time at
least. The myth faded away when
Juvenile Commissioner Walter Ster-
land made an investigation of the al
legged Klan Tuesday afternoon and
succeeded in settling the difficulties
between the parties involved.
The Klan"proved to be nothing more
than a group of mischievous boys
who evidently carried their pranks
a little too far and destroyed the pro-
eprty of some neighbors and invaded
watermelon patch or two, using the
methods of the notorious national or
ganization as disguise.
After paying for the property they
had molested the boys were dismissed
with sound lecture.

THE TRUTH ABOUT EVIDENCE
some Difference Between Its Theoret-
icaI Purpose and Its Presenta-
ton In Legal Practice.

Evidence Is that portion of the
truth which your lawyer thinks will
impress the judge or jury In your IA
vor. Any. other portions Of the same
truth must therefore he Irrelevant and
immaterial and should not be admitted
as evidence. Thus evidence is both
part truth and partial truth.
The theoretical purpose Of evidence
Is to bring out the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. In
legal practice, however, it liz used to
emphasize unduly certain portions of
the truth, TO color other portions SO
as to imply things that are not the
truth and to cover up the rest of the
truth.
There are several kinds Of evidence.
Circumstantial evidence has probably
convicted more innocent parties than
any other kind. Documentary evil
dence has no doubt convicted more
guilty parties than any other kind.
And counter-evidence cannot always
be made to count.
Truth crushed to earth may rise
again, but not If your lawyers objec-
tons are sustained by the court. Yer
lily the seeker after truth has no bust
ness in a modern courtroom.-Ot c.

SEVERITY IN THIS PENANcE
Hindu Pilgrims Make Long Journeys
With Most Extraordinary Method
of Locomotlon.

An extraordinary Indian peniten-
tial pilgrimage takes place every
year, invariably on a Tuesday, usually
In the first half of May. The penance
consists In the Hindu penitent's
measuring his length on the ground
from his home to the temple, often
distance Of many miles.
The penitent throws himself on the
ground at full length, and with pots
herd or stone, makes a mark within
reach of his fingers. Upon getting I'D
he sets his feet on the mark, repeats
the process, continuing to do this, with
alternate rising and prostration, to the
end Of his journey.
The dress worn during the pilgrim
age Is exceedingly scanty, as the pill
gr1mage takes place during the hot
test season of the year. If the journey
Is likely to take two or three days.
the penitent may halt at night for
FOOD and rest, In which case he sets
up some mark to show where he left
the road. and resumes his tourney
from that point on the morrow. Only
men are permitted to perform the
penance, but women and children are
allowed to accompany them on foot,
supplying them with food and tanning
them with punkahs made Of palm
leaves. f,
Upon arriving at their goal the peni- !
tents present their offerings In money |,
or Kind to the attendant priests, who |
utter few words of benediction.
Every few years there are deaths from
exhaustion and exposure during the
pilgrimage. but the enthusiasts are
never deterred.-Detroit News.
