Generally speaking" said Truth |
full James, "a man who snores is con-
sidered a nuisance. OF course ne
cant help it, but he gets no sympa-
thy on that account. II he is in
sleeping car the other passengers
blame him for keeping them awake
and wish to see him get choked II
he were to die half the passengers
would be glad Of it and the rest
wouldn't care whoop. II he sleeps
4 with his windows open at home the
neighbors have it in for him and talk
among themselves about it and say
that there ought to be law against
snoring, You know there are a lot
of people in this country who, when
ever there is something that doesn't
suit them, begin to insist that there
ought to be law against it.
"One Of the worst snorers I ever
saw was Lige Smithers. Lige weighed
more than $50 pounds and his vocal
| organs were considerably clogged.
When Lige got sound asleep, espec-
/ tally when he had been working hard,
stranger in the neighborhood would
be sure that there was thunder
storm coming up. One of his near
neighbors told me that for six months

hood he used to get up every night
in his pajamas and go down stairs
and put down the windows to keep
out the rain Then he would SO out
on the front porch and look up in the
sky and there wouldn't be blamed
cloud in sight Said he couldn't un
derstand it at all .untii hnally he got
wise to the fact that it was Lige snor
! ing.
"Afer that he said it was quite
while before he could get over the
notion that Lige was going to die.
There would be a continuous roll like
thunder and then suddenly Lige would
stop dead still, when that happened
this neighbor would wake his wife UP
and tell her that he was going to
dress and go over to Smithers place
as Lige had just passed away. Passed
away nothing his wife would say I'M
patiently, that man has no more
passed away than | have. He just !
rolled over on his side He will be
going again worse than ever in a |
minute. Don't wake me up again or
you will have trouble about getting |
your breakfast
'Lige's snoring worried Mrs. Smith
ers great deal but she was a gen.
ius. She got to studying how she
, could either prevent it or else make
It pleasant sound instead Of nuis- |
ance She worked on that for six
months and finally invented musi
cal instrument shaped like a flute
with contraption that she could fit |
over Lige's mouth and nose. 1t op- !
Grated. however. like one of these /

Winchester, Ky, Dec. IA
More than 10 witnesses will be
examined in the trial Of Scobec,
Hardman charged with the mur-
der of Leon Renaker, before-t11e
state closes its case today.
Attorneys for the defense sai1
it is probable that Hardman will
be placed on the stand before
night, depending upon how long
it took the state to finish its ev-
idence.
The first witnesses for the
state today were John Bentley,
Jesse Schumacher, Ben Martil
and George Warner. who testi-
fled about the alleged attempts
of Hardman to escape jail sew
eral weeks ago by means Of du
rlicate keys. One witness "a d
he saw Hardman making a key
to the Jail doors, one made from
piece of steel and two other,
from case knives.
Courtroom attendants are still
talking today about the testino-
ny of John Schumacher, in j;ii
under life sentence for killing
his father. He said Hardman
told him Renaker was killed
with blackjack and the instru-
ment was thrown into the Ken
tucky river. He said Reese Fox
stood outside the Renaker homc
when Renaker was Stain.

was then asked if he had not
carried the keys. He said he
had at times. in the jailer's pres
ence, opened doors with them.
In regard to the improvised
keys of which Hardlnan was the
locksmitl, Schumacher denied he
had tried to get Mrs. Douglas
to take away keys for him, but
said Mrs. Douglas warned Hard
man that the jail was to be raid
ed and urged him to get rid OF
the keys. He said IIardma
cursed her for being afraid Ct
being searched.
Schumacher also testified tha;
George Wycoff, attorney for the.
defense, had sent word to Hard
man. warning him of the pros
pcctive raid.
Schumacher declared he had
been promised no gain for telling
his story nor any aid by Com
monwealth Attorney and County
Attorney in his own case for tes-
tifying against Hardman.
Tailer Azbill, next witness.
said John Schumacher gave him
one of the keys which was being
made by Hardman. Hardman's
meals. Jailer Azbill said, were
brought 70 him from an outside
restaurant. When the first key
was found, the jailer said, Hard
man was on the second floor. He
said Hardman was sick for d
week and confined to his bed the
greater part of that time. He
said 1ardman asked to be mov-
ed to the third floor on this ac-
count, but this request was re-
fused.
The iailer said he had not let
John Schumacher have the keys
to the jail Lut he had possibly
used them at times when he 0
other prisoners were present.
The jailer said that prior to the
key episode ne did not know of,
any prisoner who had been per
mitted to go outside He de-
clared Ike Miller did not to his
knowledge, have access to his
keys. Mr.. Azbill said that he
had taken Miller out to the doc
tor and to the barber shop and
also that Howard Gilbert had
taken him seven miles in the
county.
After the key incident, Mr..
Azbill said he obtained two let
ters from Scobee Hardman

tence.
