Mrs. Wychoff was tried with Nc
Corllle for the murder Of Wesley
Wychoff in 1878. Both protested In
nocence. The negro was found guilty
Of murder in the first degree, and his
hanging was the only one that ever

unable to walk. For years, she had
spent most Of her time in bed and in
a wheel chair, knitting, crocheting

ing little fancy aprons, which the
prison officials sold for her. From
the money gathered in this way she
had fitted out cosy little cell in the

penses.
The body of Mrs. Wychoff was
sent from the prison to a local un-
dertaking establishment for buriel
preparations before being shipped to
the little mountain home.

COUNT CLUB OPENING DINNER
 .IS GAY AIT AIR
Membership Dinner For mally Opens New Club house-Takes Rank As Leading Event Of The Year

With all the charm of artistic ap- pointments and carefully carried out arrangements, the membership din- ner which formally opened the new Country club last evening will rank as the leading event of the year.
 Not only will the exquisite setting make the event long remembered, but the brilliancy of the gathering from point of attendance made an out standing function not soon to be for gotten.
 The club house was decorated most effectively under the direction of Mrs. Thomas Dunbar. A festooning of ferns lent pleasing background for the wealth of bloom. The fireplaces at either end of the reception room in which the tables were arranged were banked with garlands of green, while here and there stood tall pots of ferns. Bowls of zinnias were on the tables, the tints of the autumn flowers being duplicated in gorgeous coloring of Arizona fruits which had place in the arrangements.
 Club officials were included in the guests presiding at parties, large and small, or guests of club members. Judge Ernest Lewis, president of the club, and Mra Lewis, were among those who enjoyed the affair presided
