CALLS HIM HER
SPIRIT LAWYER
will See Through These Awful
Days" Miss Stone De-
clares From Cell.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The barred
door to the cell OF Olivia NJ. p. Stone
was opened for her first interview in
prison. The woman sat with knees
crossed. looking up out of half-closed,
red swollen eyes. There was none
of the intoxicated bravado or flash OF
manner that was in evidence Satur-
day, Just after the Staying OF Ellis
GUY Kinkead. Flaming, scarlet
splotches dyed her drawn cheeks.
AS the inquisitors entered with her
two lawyers, Abraham Kesselman and
ID. F.. Price, her left hand shot out
quivering violently as II to ward off
a blow. With the other she covered
her eyes. She was still dressed in a
brown dress, black silk hose and
strapped slippers. Her hair was far
more dishevelled than on any previous
occasions.
Warning TO Other Girls.
After being treasured by her attor.

eyes and said:

road men having money on deposi:
have offered the money to the bank to
be used in any manner it sees fit.
Among the shareholders are some of
the most prominent farmers of the
county. One of them owns 54 shares
Of stock, several forty shares, and
many 20 and 10 shares each. A num-
Der Of farmers called at the bank the
following day and explained that they
owned quarters Of land free from in
cumbrance, which they were willing to
mortgage in order to help to put the
bank on its feet during this time Of
trial.
In these talks to the shareholders,
Messrs. Walton and Ebert explained
that the farmer-owned bank was On
trial. If the enterprise were to fail!
at this time, because of conditions
over which no one connected with the
institution has any control, it would
prove a serious setback to farmer
controlled business in the Northwest.
With the proper cooperation, the
banks are certain to weather the storm
and come out stronger than ever, they
explained. They explained that in the
period Of readjustment, the farmers
must take their losses along with other
people and must expect to dispose Of
enough of their effects to partially H.
quidate their obligations.

you farmers for years, and | believe
