 After recess of 10 days the Jef- fcrson county grand jury reconvened yesterday morning, it having been previously announced that a further investigation into the killing of Father Coyle would be made. The grand jury prior to it's recess had made a partial investigation into the case, and examined number of witnesses.
 Some Witnesses
 Included among them were Mrs. Ruth Stephenson Gussman, daugh- ter of Mir. Stephenson, who was be- lieved to be the chief witness for the state; Miss Marcella Coyle, sister Of Father Coyle; Sheriff J. C. Harts- field, Chief Deputy Fred McDuff, Coroner J. D. Russum, Assistant Cor oner George c. Moore, Deputy Steve Wtggins, several newspaper men and number of others

Stephenson will be held is fixed its.will be made, and he will be s1easAi from tho county Jail.
 Mir Stephenson is alleged to have been passing the home of Father Coyle on the day of the killing when he was called In by the priest. Ac- cordng to his statement shortly after his arrest he and Father Coyle talked for a few minutes when the. priest told Mir. Stephenson that a short time before he had married Ruth Stephenson to Pedro Gussman. The minister stated he told the priest that he had treated him like dirty dog, to which Father Coyle replied. telling him not to repeat that state ment, which MT. Stephenson did re- roat Mir. Stephenson then stated that Father Coyile grabbed him by the belt and struck him on tho head, and he (Stephenson) fired. MT. Stephenson immediately walked to the courthouse, being overtaken at the steps by two city policemen, who accompanied him to the wardens of- iice where he asked to be locked up, stating he had killed man.

Why Not Sell What You Do Not Need?

Perhaps in your home. (cellar or attic) there's a handsome baby carriage going to rack and ruin. It's worth real money, cost you real money, and now since you don't need it, get your money out of it.
 Phone The Age-Herald and have the ad-taker write a 3-line ad for 40 cents. You'll get in touch with some woman who does need and will pay for your carriage.
 The same rule applies to any, thing else around the house not in use. now.

Dear Editor:
| am now going TO relate to you
about our swimming party last week.
instead of having u regular meeting
we had that party which we planned
to have at Mrs. Delays home on
Wednesday afternoon. All the Rose
lani and Narcissus members were
present with the exception of a Jap
anese girl who was sick. We were
all there at four o'clock.
When Miss Seibert and Miss Gard
ner came, we played baseball, which
we all enjoyed. Some girls went in
swimming, and they had a lovely
time, 7 assure you.
Later, at about five o'clock, we
were called to order and had a short
business meeting. Someone sudden
ly made a motion to combine the Mar
,cissus and the Roselani troops, which
surprised everyone. The matter was
talked over together and later the
girls said that they would be glad to
combine. The motion was carried.
Then came the question whether we
) should accept either the name Rose
lant, or the name Narcissus, or
whether we should select a new name
The Roselani members particularly
wished to have u troop called Rose
lani. The Narcissus member accept
ed it, and that too was carried. There
are now seventeen members in the
Roselani troop. On Wednesday after
noon at our meeting, we are to elect
two patrol leaders.
The meeting adjourned. We had re-
freshments; then the Narcissus girls
did some folk dancing which all en-
joyed. Mrs. Taylor, Miss Hale and
Mr.. and Mrs. DeKay were our guests.
AT about six o'clock we had our clos
ing exercises and were dismissed. We
all enjoyed the party immensely.
We all thank Mrs. DeKay for her
generosity in helping Us.
Cordially yours,
Signed: T.. NJ. YAMAMOTO.
