Ora, Ind. Oct. 11.-Tears OF hap
piness coursed their way down the
tender cheeks OF little Cecil Burkett
here tonight as the youthful slayer
OF Bonnie Slavin, seven, sat IN the
humble home OF his parents. And
they were tears OF JOY that were
prompted with the insinuation IN
Starke county circuirt court today
by Judge Pentecost that the case
had gone far enough"
Cecil, II, and son OF a day labore1
may never face a second trial for tha
murder OF his neighbor playmate
last spring. Not that the lad whose
rife checked the life OF his bOyhOod
friend-or enemy-is afraid 20 again
trust his fate with a jury OF his
peers, but because he who graces the
tribunal OF the county seat believes
that Cecil should be free and that
the disagreement OF the jury IN the
first trial should stand upon a docket
further unmarked.
And so did Judge Pentecost tell the
states attorney and the counsel for
the youth when they appeared In the
Starke circuit court at Knox Tues
day to determine a date for the Sec
ond arraignment Of the lad whose
alleged actions have created split
and a degree OF hatred among the
people Of this village.
Case Is Continued.
That the case VIII not come up in
this term of court was announced
officially Tuesday by the prosecutor,
when he was called for a moment
from his duties in the court room.
And the prosecutor. who has often
voiced his intention OF pushing the
case to the limit and gaining a con-
viction that would send Cecil 10 his
death by hanging. or to prison for
the rest OF his life, wouldn't insinu-
ate even that the case would come
up IN the January term. 1t is BE-
lieved here that other than the
marks Of memory on the mind OF the
lad and in the minds OF those who
know the story that the case has
passed into history.
Bonnie was the son OF a local
merchant. Cecil's father was a ditch
digger. But Bonnie and Cecil were
pals, playmates. buddies. Their yards
adjoined and early morning found
them. CARRIED in denim jeans. calling
10 each other over the back fence
or front. But the fence was not
barrier. and even nightfau and a
mothers voice left within their
hearts a throb of sorrow because
the day was done and bedtime again
har come. There were others or
their ages. and adults often mar
veled at the happiness OF the little
ones down-street.
Something Happened
Then came a day when childish
anger resulted from an hour OF play,

NEW YORK. Oct Its all
even up again. The Giants won the
sixth game Of the series after spot
ting the Yanks a three run lead.
The sad tale OF the Yank defeat
can be written around the absolute
collapse of their second string pitch
ers.
belongs 70 Jess Barnes. His per-
Torrance. after Toney had been
batted from the box in the opening
inning. stands out as the best bit Of
pitching OF the series.
The pitching OF Barnes In the
sixth game is all the more remark
able when one considers that Man
fer NcGraw OF the Giants lacked
the confidence in him u have hin
start
Barnes gained his chance TO win
pitching honors simply because the
USUALLY reliable Toney failed dismal
ly in both his starts.
In the third game Barnes took up
the pitching burden in the third in
ming. The Yanks at that time en-
joyed a four run lead secured at the
expense of Toney. During the re-
mainder OF the game Barnes held
the Yanks helpless.
jess Has the Stuff.
The Giants, as soon as he enter
ed the game, took on new life ana
piled up IS runs for him. He won
n hollow victory over the Yauks by
the score Of u to 5.
For the sixth game. Manager Nc
Graw again selected Toney in pref
erence TO Barnes The Yanks pro-
ceeded TO take all kinds of hber-
ties with the former Cincinnati star.
Three runs were over the plate and
Toney was derricked before Barnes
really had a chance TO properly
warm up.
But he retired the side without
further scoring and then proceeded
TO give an exhibition OF pitching that
would be hard TO equal. a fluke
home run added two more TO the
Yank total in the second. At this
stage Barnes started to pitch.
During the remainder of the game
he made the Yank sluggers look
foolish. Only four hits were made
off his delivery and ten men went
out on strikes. His pinch pitching
saved the day. Incidentally his hit
ting figured in the four run rally
that decided the game. The vic
tory OF the Giants was purely per-
sonaI triumph for Barnes.

Power In Community.
The Legion as a power in its COM
munity was a slogan which followed
through the entire convention. To
die for was a thought which rang
true on the convention floor. To
have done with the false statements
registered against the Legion by
other organizations, among them So
called veteran bodies. claiming con-
nection with the world war was the
purport of powerful resolution.
John G. Emery, national COM
mander, speaking concerning tie
stand OF the Legion on many sub
jectS, recalled the resolutions pass
ed by radical elements In certain
labor bodies. He referred the Lee
gionnaires to the commentator OF
the American Legion by Samuel
Gompers.

ment and ordered its publication
