 The bones had been burned with an acetylene torch and while not definitely identified as those of Knight. the officers believe them to be Knights. On Nov 90 warrants charging eight persons with the mur- der of Knight were filed in the court of Justice Nat T. Mckee and on Dec
 [, following the arrest of all the persons hut one, all the charges were dismissed on grounds of lack of evi- dence. The bones have been in the pathological laboratory since they were found. The skull of the skeleton shows the man was killed by a blow from mechanics hammer which crushed in tho top of the head

'PSYCHOCRAMS" AT
 SPECIAL SERVICES

We have careless folks in Phoenix, Even members of our churches, Who act just like common sinners When they mingle 'mong their neigh
 bors
 For a bit of Phoenix gossip Or when dealing with another Overstep their bounden duty To their God and to their neighbor; Thus they bring reproach upon Him Who redeemed them with His life's
 blood,
 Thus betray Him for some silver, Often less than thirty pieces
 This is the second of a series of Phoenix psychograms' to be given at the special services being held every night this week at the First Methodist church. The Conner trio in instrumental and vocal numbers is proving to be one of the drawing features of these meetings.
 Sin was defined and its effects upon mankind explained by the Rev. J. A. Stavely who asserted that:
 The essence Of sin is in mans refusal to accept from God, the Fa- ther. the meditation He has provided in Jesus Christ, the Son.
 In defining sin the speaker used the following sub-heads: a-Inher- ited depravity; b-Adam begot sin in his own likeness: c-Thoughts of human heart are evil: d-An are brought forth in iniquity: e-Flesh begetteth flesh; spirit, spirit; f-In
