At the conclusion of the argu-
ment of Mr.. Baker, just before
three o'clock this afternoon, Judge
Belden questioned the attorney as
to why he had made no mention of
the various other confessions made
by Lang. Baker replied: ."The
original confession was the origin
of all of these statements. They
were tainted by the wrong with
which the original confession was
obtained"
When the court asked whether
or not the attorney believed that
these confessions had been prop
erly submitted to the jury, Baker
replied that he believed that they
had been properly submitted.
The judge suggested to Baker
that everything be left out save
the statement of the defendant in
court after he had been advised as
to the penaly of the crime And
the attorney declared that his aid
mission of guilt at this time was
due to a weakened mind.
Attorney A. E. Buckmaster fol-
lowed Mr.. Baker and presented to
the court three affidavits. one from
Charles Kennedy, another from
Mrs. Lillian Hughes and third
from Daniel Thomas. The first re-
ferred to the trip of Pacini with
a young lady into the country, and
the other two to meetings of peo-
pie with the man gin the green
cap"

Dear Cynthia-Having read the many

NIT me, stranger in sense 10 your
dear land, to give my views to those
who seek friendship and love? l am a
young man, twenty-three years old, who
has seen many clmes and peoples,
have had good times with both sexes in
those lands and ! don't believe in criti-
cism OF the sex, for l do not think it
leads to Improvement. One may do far
more by example I have read of the
many attacks on jazz halls and other
dances in your column, Personally. l

little of. Some of your readers may con-
denim me for not being a sport when I
frankly say that to me. a painted girl
has my sympathy If she paints to get
attraction and commander love. For
love Is not bought or manufactured.
Love is natural and each party must act
naturally toward each other. Paint and
powder and jazz are screens too thin,
for they can easily be penetrated and
character found out. Give me one like
| once knew in years gone by, but who
now has gone to her reward, simple and
unassuming. cheerful, and with that per-
sonality that leads men to higher and
nobler deeds than cutting Capers in a
jazz hall Give me the girl who will
lead by kindly advice and will inspire
confidence by her memory and you will
change the ideas, language. actions and
even character of your young men Girls,
there are men among your own acquaint-
ances whom YOU may lead to your own
ideal youth, II you only make an honest
effort My memory brings me back to
other days under a cloudless Eastern
sky, thousands of miles from home. and
still youth with the temptations of the
East around me. | thank God, | kept

you not try TO do for some other fellow
what her memory did for me? Boys.
when you read this column, forget not
your dear mother, and think that the
painted doll" as you are pleased to call
her may be a mother some day, too.
She may be your sisters companion, who
is now trying to please and pamper you
with that nature of hers which tries 10
