name scrawisd upon the moor By the
mortaliy wounded father, had been
obliterated when the slayer carefully
swabbed the floors Of the death
house with a bloody mop.
Miller had been a partner Of the
murdered man and was arrested In
a Denver hotel. Witnesses shattered
his gestered aiibi. His trunk con
tained newly cleaned revolver. and
he wore overshoes which were linked
up with cory footprints at the scene
OF the crime.
Handicapped by bis ignorance Of all
methods Of conveying an impression.
Miller invented universally compre-
hended signs for objects and persons,
thoughts and acts. and managed to
convey to the jury his own defense
story, which was. however. not be-
lieved.
SILENT EVIDENCE
THE MORE CREDIBLE
1t was largely a case OF mute EVIL
the evidence. the jury held, was the
more eloquent and convincing.
The court permitted Guy r. Kirk.
cell mate with Miller during the pc
riod before trial. to present his con-
illusions as to the meaning Of signs
used by the deaf-mute In making his
so.called confession.
MILLER told me-" said Kirk, shat
he killed Shank so he could never
cheat anyone else. He had nothing
against Mrs. Shank and the three
older children. he said, but killed
them SO they couldn't ten on him.
The baby he killed, he explained, be
cause. with the mother dead. he
feared 1t might starve."
Miller was found guilty on all six
counts and sentenced to six sep.
arate life sentences.
Pepitentiary guards believe that
the same patient inventiveness dis.
played by the speechless convict dur.
ing his trial will soon establish
means Of communication with his
incarcerated fellows and that he win
not long be as he is now, the most
isolated prisoner In America

HALF HOLIDAY
 FOR EMPLOYES
PRACTICALLY EVERY BUSINESS INSTITUTION IN MARIANA SIGNS AGREEMENT TO CLOSE AT NOON THURSDAYS.

The business institutions of Ma rianna, following a custom adopted three years ago, will give their em- ployes half holiday on each Thurs day afternoon from May i until September 1. A committee recently called upon the heads of the various business enterprises and secured their signatures to the agreement to give the half holiday The agree ment and those who signed it fol- low:
 We, the undersigned business men of Marianna, hereby agree to close our places of business beginning on the first Thursday in May until the last Thursday in August. The purpose of closing the stores on Thursday afternoons is to give rest and recreation to all employees as well as the business men. It is believed that the one-haf holiday will add materially to the spirit of business in Marianna and will also give all the men who have enlisted in the National Guard company an opportunity to attend the drill which will be held on that afternoon each week without loss of time. It will also afford the business people an opportunity to attend the ma neuvers in addition to the recrea- ton it will give them:

District Conference
 Held in HeLena

A district conference of Methodist ministers and laymen was held last Tuesday at the First Methodist church in Helena. Every church in the district was represented. The object of this meeting was dis cussion of the method of promot- ing the great Methodist educational movement which has the three-fold object of duty to perform for the Methodist church, for all churches and for humanity.
 This meeting was presided over by Judge Lee of Clarendon, who very ably explained the need of such a Christian movement and the necessity of every community re- spending to the call.
 The principal speaker of the day was Dr. Smith, editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate. He is man of broad vision and brought message that will always be car ried in the hearts of those who had the privilege of hearing him.
 Representative from Marianne at this meeting were Rev. W. c. House and wife, J. w. Patton and O. G. Norment.

 Close High School

Jonesboro, April S.-At a meet ing of the City School Board, the directors of the Chamber of Com merce, and bankers of the city last night, it was definitely decided that on account of the lack of funds, it would be impossible to open the high school next year, but ward schools will be operated without the services of a city superintendent. Half of the students would attend in the forenoon and half in the afternoon, reciting without any study periods. The bankers agreed to finance the schools, if the board could reduce it's budget to S40,000. This will be done by closing the high school. The board accepted the offer of the Aggie school to take. over the high school students. They will receive the same courses as we'll as work not to be had in the high school By closing the high school for a year and operat- ing on the above plan, it is believed that the district will be in sat isfactory financial condition after one years time.
