1Wice jailed on Grave Charge,
Woman Is Found Innocent, Freed

London, Aug. IL Especially ~
All England is indignant over the
wrongful Imprisonment Of Mrs
Rose Emma Gooding. of Little
hampton, who was twice sent to
Jail for sending scandalous letters
to a neighbor woman, Miss Edith
Swami, and who has Just been re-
leased. She is now at home again
with her husband and two chill
dren, while measures to secure
compensation for her from the
government are being considered.
About the first of last October
Mrs. Gooding was arrested and
thrown into Jail, where she lay
awaiting her trial. which took
place December 13 at Lewes. in
Sussex, before Justice Roche.' 1t
was charged that the letters ac-
cused Miss Swami of going about
with married. man while his wife
was in hospital. Some Of the
letters were signed "R. >G,," and
some with Mrs. Gooding's Com
pliments." They were sent to
number of friends and neighbors
of Miss Swami.
At the frst trial witness testi-
fed he had seen Mrs. Gooding's
daughter posting a letter bearing
the name Swami. Mrs. Gooding
denied ever having sent any of the
letters, and the child said she had
not posted any of them. but the
Jury accepted the circumstantial
evidence offered and found the de-
fendant guilty. Justice Roche sem
fenced her to ten days in jail.
Again Arrested.
The scurrilous letters did not
end, and after a number of addi-
tional ones had been sent out.
Mrs. Gooding was again arrested
for crimind libel on March 3. At
her trial a short time thereafter,
Miss Swami testified that Mrs.
Gooding had thrown one of the
letters into her house as she
passed.
Counsel for Mrs. Gooding called
the attention of the court to the
| fact that some time before the Sec
ond arrest Mrs. Gooding had left
home for a time to go to Lewes,
and that oul ng her absence let
| ters purporting to have been writ
ten by her were delivered under
Littlehampton postmarks. EXPO
lice Sergeant Blackman testified
that he had seen Mrs. Gooding in
Lewes on the day when others
testified she had mailed scurrilous
| letters in Littlehampton.
In spite of such favorable testi-
mony, Mrs. Gooding was again
convicted on circumstantial evil
dence, and in sentencing her to a
year in prison Justice Roche ex-
| pressed the opinion that he had
been too lenient with her before
The whole case against Mrs
Gooding collapsed when it was
found that the scandalous letters
in exactly the same handwriting
continued going out after Mrs
Gooding had been put in prison
Detective Inspector Nichols, OF
Scotland Yard. was given the case
to investigate, and few days age
the home office caused the court
of criminal appeals to quash botI
convictions against Mrs. Goodine

Mrs. Goodings husband was a
soldier in the late war and was
decorated for bravery. He is help

who really wrote the letters and
sought to fasten the blame upon
Mrs. Gooding.

NAPOLE0N'S ORIGINAL
TOMB HAS FALLEN INTO
A STATE OF DISREPAlR
CBy The Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 17.-Napoleon's
original tomb on st. Helena has
fallen into sad state Of dis epair
since the body was removed in state
to the Invalides in Paris, 81 years
ago, according to a letter received
by Sir Lees Knowles, a former cab
met minister, from a recent visitor
to that remote island.

miles uphill to Longwood, Napo-
Icons old home" the writer says,
"and inspected his much-neglected
tomb, which is down in deep cor
ner Of deep valley-just a slab
covered with dirty whitewash--1o
inscription whatever. The grass
around was unkempt and surround
ed by a circle, about 20 PAGES in
diameter. of tall trees, and there
was nothing anywhere to tell vis-
itor when the body was removed,
or to whom the old tomb had be-
longed."

Outburst Short Lived.
The outburst-was short lived and
failed to develop any general ex-
pressions of senate opinion on the
subject of public or closed ses-
sions. Further debate on the ques-
ton was assured, however. by pre-
sentation for further consideration
OF a measure which would instruct
the American delegates to insist
that the conference sit with open
doors. Senator Lodge did not eX-
press his views in regard to pub
licity, but he did assert that in the
negotiations over disarmament it.
self he would hold the principle
that the only solution was a gen
eral disarmament" He declared
no one would work more earnestly
for disarmament than he, but that
he would hold to an unshaken
conviction that to insure success
there must be general reductions
ell along the line.
Could Make Further Cuts.
Later in the day the foreign re-
lations chairman, speaking on a
good roads bill, asserted it was
false economy to save money for
roads by taking it away from the
army and navy, whose reductions,
he asserted, had been carried too
far already under existing condi-
tions. Without specific mention OF
the disarmament proposals, he re-
affirmed his belief that this coun-
try could not make further cur
tailments in it's military and naval
establishments without menacins
national security.

TEN KNOWN DEAD
 FROM LANDSL|DES
Others Are Injured and Prop erty Damage Heavy as
 Result of Floods
By Associated Press

Seattle, Wash, December f2.-Ten persons are known 10 have been killed, a number of others injured and heavy property damage has beon done by railroad accidents and land slides caused by the worst flood western Washington has known in years.
 Heavy rains, starting Saturday, and continuing to the present, have sent rivers out of their banks. washed out bridges. torn through railroad embankments and inter- rupted rail and wire communication in many directions.
 Weather bureau officials held out no hope of relief for tomorrow, the forecast being for further heavy rains, The precipitation at Tacoma from Saturday morning to noon to- day measured five inches.
 Inundation of a large area was feared as result of a jam of flot- sam behind wreckage of a Northern Pacific train and worlSmen were busy trying to remove the wreckage before the river was damned up enough to crash through tho jam suddenly and send a dangerous body of water to overflow farm lands. Two lives were lost when the train plunged through the bridge, weak ened by the flood.
 In the Grays Harbor regions floods were said to be the worst In years. Near Aberdeen four persons were killed and several injured in two logging railway accidents caused by landslides.
