Shades of the past rising up to trouble
both Andy Brown and William Gum
mer in the effort being made by the
state to learn who killed Marie Wick,
18-year-old Grygla girl, lowered over
the court room yesterday as Andy
Brown, pal of the accused, under oath
denied damaging testimony which the
state had presented, seeking to expose
him as an accomplish in the grnesome
murder. .:.>.f:z6 /
Marie Wick, the attractive young
girl, whose vacation: ended in q hor-
rible tragedy, was on the mind of Will
der case, during the night after she
checked in, is the evidence Of even
Andy Brown. Although denying firm
~ that their conversation about the
girl had savored Of wild women" and
"another women for Gummer's book, !"
Brown said that when he went: to the
hotel after midnight GUNNER had told
him Of the good looking girl who had
checked in and then had gone out
with a. young man. .s2 ..:: s.:.x ,'.>s
Brown on the stand told, under pro-
tests, of his past. His correct name
is Leslie Locke, Brown having been
assumed about eight or nine: years ago
after arrangement from his father,
who when last heard from lived at
SULPHUR Springs, Oklahoma. He was
in Texas when he took the name, had
been married and had children. He
had moved north gradually from Tex

animation that he had left the hotel
ten minutes to one on the night Marie
was killed, gone to a pool room and
then to his rooming house at the :Ad-
Olson, which he did not leave until
after seven the following morning.
He was proof against all efforts of
the state to trip him up on this declar-
alton. He also denied that he had
ever told or sent messages to GUNNER
urging him to "stand pa" ITO stick"
or mot to squawk" and said if any
one so testified he had not told the
truth. 80 sS:s<'<@-..
The witness yesterday had better
control of himself than at the time
since he was first called by the state.

the witness gave prompt and un-

JOHN STORM CALLS

 And what?" I interrupted quick ly. and even to myself my voice sounded strange.
 And of breaking their hearts"
 "I do not believe it." Even as l said it the saddened face of Maud Samson came up in front of me.
 "Oh I wish you had not told me this MT Storm. Don't you see that my only chance of getting on. the chance I must have because l haven't any money to buy even ward robe is this one which Theodore Stratton has offered me? And to do it well I must believe in him as weld as myselfp
 "Yes, l understand and I do not mean to discourage you. You know. Virginia. that l am your friend and l came here tonight to tell you that almost the last thing Ria said to me as she bade me good-by this morning was: Take care of Virgie. She will not get into any trouble ex- cept through ignorance of worldly ways.
 He smiled little quizzical as he continued telling what Ria had said: Although I do not think that you are so worldly yourself but we are told that two negatives make 8 pos itive. Perhaps two innocents, like yourself and Virgie, might make a wise one.'
 Hello. yIrgie." Jack Thompson peeped his head into the door. "Ge, but l am sorry. l heard about it over at the Chinese restaurant and came over to see if you were vic tim"
 "oh. Jack. I have lost everything I have in the world"
 Here, cheer up, Virginia. We are all for you. Need any money? I'll lend you half my check for today"

 CT. as well as the actor Of the speaking stage, is most generous. He will divide his last dollar with you.
 John storm in punctillous observ- ance of the conventions had left my door open. Jack Thompson mad rushed through it and shut it with bang. That Is just the difference between the two classes. One insists upon telling the whole world that the things he does are all right. The other knows within himself that what he is doing is right, conse- quently he doesn't care what the whole world thinks.
 Jack, this is the minister who married Ria and Herb. Mir. Storm, MT Thompson. Jack is one of the first friends I made when I came here. He really introduced me into atmosphere" I explained to John storm as he was shaking Jacks hand.
 "Virgie, have you made out your list. You won't have much time to take 1t down in the morning. Per haps-- why don't we walk down tonight"
 My car is at the door. I'll take you down. Both of you"
 "Oh. great, I was in hopes you had a car to take us in. I'm tired"
 John Storm looked at Jack with approval. I could see that Jacks frankness, which was his most at-

 Soon We were on our way to the police station and the red tape was cut quickly for John storm. l was taken directly to the chiefs office and made my deposition and left the written account of my loss.

 Why you have been asleep all hour" was John Storms surprising assertion.
 But 1t only takes five minutes to come from the police station to the apartment"
 Yes, but you were asleep before we had hardly gotten into the car would do you good and so We drove around a bit"
 Jack closed the eye toward me slowly. I was mystified. 1 did not understand what he meant until he was taking me upstairs when he d. vulged his reason.
 T was so tired, Virgie. that I knew 1 couldn't sleep. And beside I didn't mind bit holding you with your head on my shoulder. So made that preacher think it was necessary for you to have the air so that you wouldn't look quite like a swelled up puppydog tomorrow. Say, he is all right at that. And it is a good thing that you have got a few friends that you can depend on. There isn't one of us in this game that could help you very much no matter how much we wanted to.

.BOLL WEEV|LS ARE SURVIVING WINTER
 IN LARGE NUMBERS
Auburn Expert Warns Farm CTS to Expect Heavy At- tack on Early Cotton
 This Spring

Auburn, March 10.-( Especially Weather conditions last fall and the Temperatures during the winter of ll92l-22 have been such as to permit ian exceptionally heavy boil weevil survival, indicating heavy Initial attack upon the cotton crop of 1922, is the gist of the answer Dr. W. E. Blinds, entomologist for the experi- |ment station and extension service, is
 making to the numerous inquiries reaching him concerning boil weevil prospects for this year.
 Explaining the reasons for such an answer Dr. Kinds states that in tho

, fall of 1921 after the cotton crop was harvested practically no killing frosts occurred through the month of | October and cotton continued to live and grow. November was the warm ! est November recorded since 1909 KiHing frosts occurred in very few scattering places but was not general in any section of the state Decem- Der was the warmest December re- corded since the establishment of the weather bureau in Alabama. Killing 1 frosts occurred in the northern part of the state in some sections about December 5, but much cotton remain ed green and maintained weevils un- til January 1. 1922. The minimum temperatures of the winter occurred about January 2 and destroyed all green cotton.
 Favorable For WeeviI
 A The fall conditions were, therefore. extremely favorable for the survival of weeyils until 8 very late date, when breeding was stopped and the adult weevils entered Information. This heightened by six weeks or two months the average Information pe- riod.
 The winter has been extremely mild and a large proportion of weevils en- tering Information appear to have survived. Recent examinations made at Auburn showed 16 per cent of liv- ing weevils in the bolls on cotton stalks standing in the field. This survival is five times the average.
 These records confirm observations made by MT. B. R. Coad of Tellu- lah, La, laboratory, showing that in that section the survival Is about five times as heavy as 1t was in 1920-21
 Continuing, Dr. Hinds says: We must, therefore, anticipate an excep- tionally large number of weevils to emerge early in the season of 1922, and make an unusually heavy Initial attack upon the small cotton plants. Close watch should be kept and rec ords made as to the number of weev- ills per acre showing up on young plants before squares begin to form. report to the entomologist at Au- burn al that time will assist greatly in giving us the basis for estimating the probable attack through June, July and August"
 "The rainfall occurring after cotton begins to square governs directly the proportion of eggs producing adult weevils If it is very hot and dry the heavy initial infestation may be overcome and the weevils controlled by the heat and drought, especially where a rainfall of not more than one half inch per week is experienced for five or six weeks after cotton begins to square. On the contrary, if during this period, the rainfall amounts to more than one inch per week very serious loss in the 1922 cotton crop must be expected"
