DIR. MADISON'S TEXT.

DR.. Madison did not disappoint. He
sensed the curiosity among his audi
ence and felt the responsibility of HIS
task. At the outset he announced that
his sermon would be addressed to Nor
folk and the presence OF jim Cham.
hers body would be recognized only rs
it might serve rs an example to illus.
trate his points.
The minister chose his text from
the 9th chapter Of Galatians. Tin verse
using the following words, "Be not de
ceived, God Is not Knocked. Whatsoever
a man soweth that shall he reap" q.
At this point. looking down at the
empty seats reserved for mourners,
DR.. Madison delivered n scathing de-
nunciation Of the people who had Iiv.
ed and followed Chambers in his IT.
legal trade and yet had not the nerve
or respect to follow a friend to his
bier. declaring, "a man with whom 1
live and associate will follow to his
last resting place."
Here the minister launched into his
sermon and for three.quarters Of an
hour delivered scorching barrage a..
dancing. Bookkeeping and immortality
IN the city Of Norfolk. II can so out
here and find a still within a block Of
this church," he declared. "I'll wager
that If the authorities go and search
every house from Princess Anne ave.
nue. to Queen street on Church street,
they Will find more stills than they
found in those two hundred homes
searched in Titustown," came from
the minister. "rhere are more Jim
Chambers in Norfolk and some Of
them are under the sound Of my voice
You are sowing In the dark but YOU
will reap in the light" averred the
pastor. DR.. Madison with ferVor i'm.
plored his hearers to take n lesson
from the Incidents in the life jim
Chambers.
He paused amidst his sermon to nav
n compliment to the officers ror ceas
ing to fire after bringing down the
fugitive, and for delivering his body
to colored undertaken for a Chris
tian burial remarking that there are
communities in this country where no
such respect for the law would have
been shown. But the minister question
ed the reasonableness Of the objection
Of A. II. Stroud to the bringing Of tire
body Of a dead man to Titustown for
funeral services.
The preacher declared that he did
not and could not approve of bootleg.
ging, but he was sorry that jim Cham
I hers did not live long enough to lei,
all he probably knew. And here nc
stressed his subject, whatsoever Il
man soweth that shall Ire reap" and
those who have sowed with Chambers
Will also reap their sowings.
FINE HOMES AND BAD MANNERS.
L:. Madison told his hearers that
some OF them were living in fine
homes that harbored all sorts OF vice
and immortality. He characterized this
as sowing in the dark that which VIII,
be rcaped in the light.
The minister closed his sermon witt,
, a fervent prayer for the purgation of
Norf0lk and asked the congregation
! TO render what aid it could to the viii
ow, not in the spirit Of approval of
crime, but because they are charged to
render Christian succor to nil distress
, ed humanity.
After the services the simple pro.
cession started on it's march to Cal.
vary Cemetery with no one to shed q
tear at the grave.

WANTED REWARD.

Now q return to the trial proper is
necessary for understanding. DR.. Jonll
n. Francis, who has been an advertis-
ing dentist and who is said to have
gained considerable notoriety through
his appearance as Informing witness
in more than one trial in which black
mail charges have been raised, give.
the key in his testimony. Francis
claimed that when Frye was arrested
in August 1921, on q robbery charge,
he confided to him (Francis) that hc
(Frye) did not fear the robbery
charge, but rather was afraid that the
Brown murder might be fixed OH him.
Francis then, according to his own
testimony gave the information that
led to the fastening Of this crime OIL
Frye. This, too, was further corrobor-
ated by the testimony OF Charles Bee,
942 S. street Northwest, guardian OF
the Brown estate who stated that De-
tective Paul Jones called to see him
and informed him that tho information
leading to the apprehension Of Frye
had come through professional man
and that although he (Jones) could
not accept rewards, he felt that l..
should go to this professional man.
The prosecution based it's case
against Frye on n written confession
mado and signed by the culprit at the
Office Of Inspector Grant about weak
after arrest. 1t also established its
contention further through the intro
duction Of Detective Paul Jones and
Detective Sergeant Jackson, Dr.B
John r. Francis, DR.. Robert B. NJ. Will
son and Charles Lee all Of whom said
that Frye admitted his guilt to eash
OF them

PROMISES MADE FRYE.

The defense. in reply, maintained
TINT Frye had made his confession Of
murder in view Of certain promisa IS
made him to the effect that other
charges would be dropped, and THAT
the murder confession would thcreatt-
or be discrcditod, although tho reward
would be collected, part Of which Frye
was to receive. no this plan, Frye
claimed n detective and DR.. John Fran.
els were parties. The prosecution fur
ther introduced DR.. Julian Jackson Of
Norfolk, Va, who claimed that no adj.
mitted tho murderer to tho house tn.
night tho killing took place and that
he also saw him az hc ran out Of tho
house and down tho alley way after
the killing, in addition to himsolf ha.
Ing tho object OF q shot. He identified
Frye as tho Same man.
Another material witness was DR..
Robinson. who testified that Frye was
tho snme man who mot him on tho
steps and entered tho house, allowing
him to go first into Dr. Browns Office
tho night OF tho murder. flo further
stated that Frye was outside In tho
waiting room whom no (Robinaon

London - The Leather Bottle,

London. London is still think
ing Of what might happen to it in
case enemy airships again ever few
over the city, and the picture is not
9gpleasant 0na. The executive COM
mittee Of the parliamentary air
sconlmittee has sent a letter to the
prime minister in which, after re-
7erring to what was accomplished
Fby air fighters in the European
swar, it proceeds to draw an appsl-
ling picture OF the next air war.
The letter says:
Il 1.-THE bombs dropped on London
during the last war averaged less
than 100 pounds in weight. Bombs
yor torpedoes are now carried of
1000 pounds weight, containing
mass of high explosives. The eff
feet Of dozen bombs of this char
acter dropped on London can read
lily be conceived. There Is not
merely a possibility but a great
probability that in the event of war,
this country would be raided and
4 London and other towns destroyed
by squadrons or even fleets of air
planes, travelling at $50 miles an
hour at height of 10000 feet, si-
lent as to their engines and GER
tainly by night invisible"
The committee prophesies that
all great wars in future will begin
with terrific battles in the air. and
says that If the country suffers q
real defeat In this first battle, the
victor will in a few days destroy
her ports, her railways, her NUM-
stion factories and her capital by
Intensive bombardment from the
Air. 1t considers that at present
rE1ngland is not in q position sue
7cessfully to combat an air attack
and that the government should ap-
point a strong commission to in,
yestigate.
