When Dale came back to d state Of
Consciousness, he was lying under
covers In the carved black walnut bed.
Beside him stood John Moreland, who
held In one hand bowl containing a
hot herb brew that his wife had pre-
pared. Granny Heck, her son BY, and
Mrs. Moreland stood not far away.
"This here'll be good TO- We, think"
said Moreland, nodding toward the
bowl In his hand. He went over and
put an arm around Dale's shoulders
an5 helped MIN to sit up.
Dale drank the, stuff with difficulty.
"Much obliged" he muttered thickly.
"f-let's see, did l whip-how did 1t

News travels rapidly in the big hills.
The Morelands began to gather at the
home Of their chief to see the man
who had whipped Black Adam Ball
every Moreland able to walk came to
see Bill Dale. For three hours he was
lionized, but he didn't enjoy it; the
water had left many pains In his
chest, and his head ached duly, and
his hands still felt as though the bones
were shattered in them.
Came thundershower that after
noon, and the mountain evening fell
with chill. A IRE was made In the
wide stone fireplace In the guests
room, and when supper was over the
family gathered there with Dale, who
refused to be kept In bed.
After a few minutes Of silently
watching grotesque shadows fit across
the log walls. Dale said to John More
land:
"f your brother David could know,
don't you think he'd want you to get
the value out Of the coal?"
John Moreland bent forward to rest
his chin In his hands. His sober grey
eyes stared thoughtfully toward the
fire.
II amt never looked at It that,
away" he said.
"That's the right way to look at IT,
declared Dale. "But you shouldn't
sell the property as 1t Is"
The mountaineer turned an inquir-
Ing face toward his guest.

asked Moreiand.
"No, but can get IL. Almost any
body would be willing to lend money
on so good thing as this, y'know."
For a little while Moreland sat there
and looked squarely at Dale. who re

LOVE LETTERS ARE
BASIS Of ARGUMENT
IN TRIAL OF BURCR
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.-Letters
which Mrs. Madelynne Obenchain
wrote to J. Bolton Kennedy formed
the basis for an attack upon lhe
foundation of the prosecutlon.s case
In the argument today or John >.
Sullivan of Seattle, Wash, counsel
for Arthur G. Burch, on trial IN the
Los Angeles superior court, charged
with the murder Of Kennedy.
The letters, most OF which con-
tanned expressions of extreme affec-
tion had been introduced in evidence
nv the prosecution and many OF them
quoted by Asa Keyes, deputy district
attorney. in the opening argument by
tbe state. Mr.. KeyeA argued they
showed Mrs. Obenchain's love turned
TO hate. that other evidence showed
she summoned Burch to Los An
geles from Evanston. Ills, and that
Rurch. at her instigation, shot Ken
nedy to death.
Mr. Sullivan told the jury he be-
,ieved the letters indicated "a love
v,hich endured to the end" He de-
CARED he did not think any reason

author dreamed Of harming Kennedy.
"she wrote to Kennedy; would
give my life for you" the attorney
declared. "She signed one letter:
Yours to the end And we have the
testimony of a witness Who saw her
in Beverly Glen when Kennedy was
pronounced dead and who heard her
,ay Belton, why did they do it?
She was indeed his to the end"
Mr.. Sullivan also assailed the testi-
mony Of prosecution witnesses who
testified regarding movements OF
Burch from the time he left Evanston
on July q, last, to the time of his
arrest. declaring they had given con-
Trajectory testimony and that some
of them had been proved liars by
the clock. His argument had not
been completed when court adjourned
