KILLING HAD BECOME
HABIT WITH CANADIAN

Ottawa, Ont, April 20-Felipe
konowal. holder of the Victoria
Cross, Great Britain's highest war
decoration, was acquitted of murder
on the ground of insanity tonight
after the court had ruled, in effect,
that the attention paid by him to
the killing of men during the war
was partly responsible for his action.
Judge Cousineau, in suggesting
that the jury bring in q verdict of
not guilty, declared that there was
no question but that Konowal in the
summer of 1919. had stabbed Will
Artick, causing his death, but it had
been shown, the court pointed out,
that Knowal had received injuries
in France which had caused an or
ganic disease of the brain. The
killings which the prisoner had wit
messed in his four years of service,
the court added, had left their i'm
preston on the prisoner so that on
his return to Canada when the oc-
casion had arisen "he reverted to
type" and committed an atrocious
crime, but was mentally deranged
and should not be held guilty of
murder.
Konowal will be committed to an
insane asylum.

$500 Bridal Veil
in Store Window

Real handmade Duchess lace is the
wonderful bridal veil which is the adj
miration of all, in the southern dis
play window of the Daylight Store.
And its value is placed at $500. La
Breck & Lishness have just received
lot of perhaps the most wonderful
laces that has yet graced an Augusta
store. Wednesday morning Mr.. La
Breck was busily engaged in trimming
the window with number of the laces
The feel of real lace under ones fin
ger tips has lure all it's distinctive
own To realize that the lace is shaped
by human hands enhances it's value.
Then the soft. firm texture is different
than the manufactured laces. The
bridal veil valued at $500 is a work of
art. Each of the countless stitches
was done by hand. This lace comes
from Belgium and many months were
consumed in the making.
Other than the large pieces of lace at
the Daylight Store, in the same lot are
dainty handkerchiefs bearing corners
Of Duchess lace and Venise lace. The
work is fine and delicate and breathes
the essence of the completion of the
brides costume

Question Legality
Probe of Bay State
Legislature 1918-l919

Boston, April 20-The legality Of
the joint executive committee inves-
tigating alleged Irregularities con-
nected with street railway public
control legislation in 1918 and 1919
was declared questionable late today
by former State Senator James E
Cavanagh OF Everett
Called before the committee to tes-
tify, Mr.. Cdvanagh in a preliminary
statement said:
II don't believe this committee
has any power or authority to inves-
tigate preceding legislature, and /
would like to ask if you have had the
opinion of the supreme court or the
attorney general. If you do make
the investiga ton 1 presume from the
precedents in law that you will be
powerless to do anything more than
make recommendations.
II don't believe that this commit
tee has any right or power to put
Edwin l.. PRICE, auditor for the COM
mittee, on the witness stand to di-
vulge the transactions of members of
the legislature and | believe you are
personally responsible for any DAM
age that may result through a pub
lie exhibitions of mans accounts"
Prior to Senator Cavanagh's state
ment, Auditor Pride testified to a
maze of transactions between Miss
Mildred H. Gay, school teacher
and sister-in-law of former State
