wounds. A blood smeared axe and
sledge hammer were found. Vesuii
had been seen entering the cabin and
was seen later by Mrs. John Connolly,
wife of a patrolman, when, covered
with blood, he entered street car.
She reported to her husband and the
search began.
Connolly, knowing the penchant of
Austrians to return to scenes of
crime, lay in waiting. Five hours
later, Vesuil returned. He had been
uptown to a hearty dinner. :
While neighbors Of Triffa searched.
frantically with hatchets and shot:
guns for the murderer, Connolly
spirited Vesuil away and lodged him
in the county Jail. He denies the
murder but police are confident he
was the attacker and plan to place
a formal charge against him today.

Il cabin 200 feet from the one Triff
rents. Triff is known to have $4,000
in a bank here and is reported to be

sense-to respect the personality

whom we deal, we would come near
solving the problem Of understand

everyone in terms of ourselves.
We give what we might be happy
to receive-but we fail to 60 to the
pains to discover what would be u
really welcome gift.
Too much of our giving in this
world means nothing more than the
satisfaction we get from feeling
generous. And then we put a dou-
BILE burden on the recipient Of our
bounty. He has to try to be CRATE
full for what was only a desire for
self and our desire to
feel kind and noble. He has, more
over, to be grateful for a tangible
gift which may be just what he
never wanted and always has
struggled to avoid possessing.
We all know how the attic gets
cluttered up with an accumulation
of old things we never could quite
bring ourselves to throw away.
So lives get cluttered up with at
tentions 1t was never quite possible
to reject.
We do not catch only glimpses OF
each others nature and longings.
And having only ths barest knowl.

in another's mind and heart, isn't
It an imposition and an irpperti-
nence to force advice, attentions
and gifts on folks who may be
longing for just the opposite from
what we just give them?
II we would stop making gestures
and do a little investigating, things
might easily. be better. II we
would only remember that those
we most love and adore are still
separate entities and distinct in

easier not only for them but for
