| started, going from there in a car
with friend to Racine. He also
admitted being with the forces at
| Jecrey, ON Hewitts' Creek, on
Beech Creek and at Blair for three
days, returning to his home only
after the federal forces reached
the scene. He denied, however,
that he in any way contributed by
word or act to the support of the
march. insisting that he was pres
ent primarily as a "sightseer".
Claimed He War Fnancer.
Some evidence was introduced
by the state to show that Allen re-
ceived some money for and spent
money for the march, but the point
was not sufficiently proved to con-
vince the jury that II was the overt
act AS in the Blizzard case the
Court ruled that the overt act had
TO be proven as being committed
in Logan county where the indict-
ment was returned. Under that
ruling presence with the forces at
Marmet. Kanawha county, or at
any point in Boone county was not
conclusive OF the guilt of the de-
fcndant even though the jury be-
loved that he was lcagued in the
conspiracy which was perfected,
under the state theory, at Marmet
when the march started.
Throughout the Allen and the
Blizzard cases the defense parted
from the state theory at the meet
ing at Madison Attorney Town
send. closing for the defense to-
day, told tho jury that the defense
would concede Tho meeting at Mar
met, the number and the fact that
many of them were armed, and
mat the army marched to Blair

county and fer that reason was
reasonable while the defense had
insisted that its object was mere

The point that if the jury believed
this rst march, whatever dts pur-
whether reasonable or prop
er-was abandoned at Madison and
the second which followed within
n day or two was instituted for the
purpose of protecting women and
children on Beech Creek who were
reported being murdered by the
Logan deputies, even though these
reports" of the murder were
found to be unwarranted, it should
not find the defendant guilty.
Against this theory. however, the
state held that the Madison meet
ing halted the march only on the
surface, that the leaders secretly
told the marChers to continue the
march, that the march did substan-
TALLY continue, that men went
from Madison on up to Blair the
same day Of the speech at Madison
and that the days thereafter were
only successive steps in the prog

Allen transmitted a last word 10
the jury through Attorney Town
send this afternoon, closing for
the defense. when he asked the
jury either to find him guilty and
give him the limit in penalties
death-or give him a clear ac-
quittal The jury, however, found
the compromise. 1t is believed
generally. however, that the state
is satisfied wholly with the findinfi,

effect of conviction rather than

The disease is highly contagious, and
is passed from one person to another.
It has been transmitted by the blood,
but the most likely source of infection
is the secretions from the nose, mouth,
throat. The period of incubation, that
is, from the time one is exposed until
the illness comes on, is from nine to
eleven days. The rash is quite con-

or fourteenth day. One peculiar thing
about measles is that it reappears
about every third year in thickly set
tiled localities. In more sparsely settled
sections they are farther apart. 1t is
highly contagious before the eruption
The eruption can be seen in the mouth
several days before it breaks out"
Koplik spots should be looked for in
all children who have been exposed,
and if the mouth shows signs or they
seem to have a fresh cold, the eyes

at once isolated. Isolation of the pa

AUTOMOBILES IN THE KEN.
lucky MOUNTAINS

Recent occurrences in a mountain
county when two automobiles were
hurled over cliffs into river below,
would indicate that there is yet an
element Of danger to be encountered
in negotiating a motor car through
the tortuous mountain passes and
trails, and that it may be some time
before the sure-footed mule is en-
tirely supplanted as means Of
transportation in the mountain
country.
Notwithstanding the difficulties
to be faced the number of machines
being used in the mountain counties
is constantly increasing and few
are without any motor cars. Leslie
county not only has no automobile
within its borders, but it is said
that machine could not be trans
ported there unless the parts were
carried over the mountains and af-
terward assembled.

PLEASURES OF THE BLIND

Recently stories went the rounds
of the State press of Paducah
blind man, a confirmed baseball fan
who attends all the games, and of a
Mayfield man with sightless Orbs
that finds his greatest pleasure in
attending the picture shows. Peo-
pie bereft of sight have been known
to become inveterate racegoers and
find as much thrill in the pound Of
the hoofs of the flying steeds as an
actual spectator in watching the
horses as they dash under the wire.
There is popular misapprehen-
sion that those who cannot see are
devoid of any interest in the pleas
ures and activities of life, but this is
a mistake. In many cases the blind
overcome their handicap and enter
actively into the various purpuits of
life.
A notable instance is that of a
prominent lawyer in Kentucky
COWu. AlCuOuSu UoT0lt VI HIS eye
sight in middle age he overcome the
handicap with the result that he has
not relinquished his place at the
head of the bar in his section. Lou
isville has a Magistrate who has
been blind since childhood, yet he
conducts his office with marked eff
cheney and as we'll as any of his con-
temporaries with vision. Many bus
mess ventures throughout the State
are conducted by the blind with lit
tie or no assistance from others.
A Kentucky mountain boy who
graduated from the State Blind
School some years ago, studied for
the ministry and now is pastor OF
one of the largest churches in Okla
homa, the State that for so long was
represented in the United States
Senate by the blind Senator Gore.
Blindness is terrible af1iction but
many with the handicap are demon
trating that there are but few ave-
nues not open to the sightless.

THE MARKING OF BILLS

In their surveillance and appre-
hension of suspected persons, Gov
eminent secret service officers often
find it necessary to mark the
money" handled by such persons.
There are various methods of mark
ing national currency, one of the
most novel being the pin prick.
The note to be marked is, say, the
SIS silver certificate bearing the
vignette of an Indian chief in his
full regalia of feathers and trap
pings and presenting a full-face
view. With the aid of pin the Sc
cret service man makes two punct-
ures in the bill directly in the pu-
pills of the Indians eyes. To the
casual and sometimes even critical
inspector of the note these pin
pricks are invisible. If raised to the
light, however, the bill will reveal
them distinctly.
The markings are complicated by
the following process. The pin point
is applied in the twist" of the
large figure 5 at the two upper cor
ners of the note. These tiny twists
do not appear in the "necks" of the
two figure SIS that are at both ends
of the bottom of the note. The note
is now pierced again, this time in
the ends of the scrolls on each side
of the word five" in the lower cen
ter of the bill. The marking il
now complete. In secret, it is ex
hibited to one or more persons fol
Identification, and is then placed il
the till or money drawer to which
the suspected person has access.
1t is said that the pin pricks will
remain perfect for some time. WheI
such bills are produced in court, AM
their marking is explained under
oath conviction is practically Ger
tain.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST SCOURGE
OF DIPHTHERIA

Because the number of deaths
from diphtheria in Kentucky has
almost doubled in the last three
years, and doubled needlessly, &C
cording to DR.. A. T. Mccormick,
State Health officer, the State Board
of Health already is starting a cam
paign which has as it's sole object
the lowering of the number of fatal
fties next winter from this disease
There were 352 deaths from diph-
liberia reported in 1919, according
to j. F. Blackerby, director of the
Board of Health's Bureau of Vital
Statistics. The number rose in
1920 to 423 and last year jumped
again to 644.
These deaths, DR.. Mccormack
says, every one could have been
prevented if antitoxin in sufficient
quantities had been administered
early enough in the history of each
case.
Steps being taken by the Board of
Health now to lower the deaths from
diphtheria this winter include the
calling to all doctors attention the
fact that the Board has available all
the antitoxin needed, emphasizing
the necessity of using this antitoxin
before the disease has taken too firm
hold on it's victim, and advocacy
of the use of the Schick test in
schools where there has been a case
of diphtheria.
