Demented Slayer of Sweet heart and Husband Trans
 ferred From City Prison

Edward Crenshaw. alleged slayer of his former sweetheart. Mrs, Re- becca Weston and her husband, Harry Weston. at Ensley in June, 1921. was yesterday transferred to the county jail pending hls removal back to the state insane asylum at Tus- caloosa, which will likely take place today

He cursed considerably and made strange statements He stated to Warden Harris that he was going to Ensley today to see his wife and children. He also remarked that the officers had hls brother in jail. Everybody was crazy, he said, at the Bryce hospital. No effort was made by him to destroy his bed clothing as he did at the city jail before he was transferred
 Crenshaw was committed to the asylum following a long battle in courts as to his mental condition. Drs. B. l.. Wyman and H. s. Ward. mental experts, declared him insane. Attaches of the county jail gave their opinion that he was only feign- Ing. A jury was empannelled before Judge w. E. Fort and 1t was ordered that he be sent to the asylum with the stipulation that in case of re- covery he should be turned over for trial on the murder charges.
 As no notice has been given by the hospital authorities of any change course left for the sheriff is to re- turn Crenshaw to the asylum to be held under the same conditions as when he was originally sent there.
 County officials state that for the several months he was In the jail be- fore his commitment to the asylum he refused to say word. Now he talks freely. He ia said to have be- come a domino expert while at tho Bryce hospital. Crenshaw is of mid dle age and of Syrian extraction.

The progressive conference at Was
hington bids fair to be productive Of
much real to regular party
leaders. No amount Of sophistry will
quiet the feeling that they have org
anized a compact, militant bloc that
will prove a thorn in the flesh of
partisans from this time on The alb
sence Of Senator johnson from Cali
fornia and his refusal to state whe-
Their he will cooperate with the pro-
gressives in their latest program of
congressional action would seem to
indicate that he does not desire to
ALLEVIATE his fellowship with the G. o.

that he is probably looking forward

SANTA HAS HIS
GREATEST GIFT.

We talked to Santa Claus the other
day, asking him what time he plan
ned to come to our little town, be-
cause all the children were very
much interested to learn. Some of
the little ones, we told him, feared he
might not come at all-that they
might be forgotten. But Santa smil-
ed.
Il will be with you, have no fear"
he said, but just the hour I cannot
say. II I get lots of help, it may be
early, very early. but who knows?
When the mince pie is in the oven,
when the plum pudding is steaming
in the pot, when the big gobbler Is
crisp and brown and nuts and raisins
rest on mothers snowy tablecloth.
when sleepy eyes are opened to be-
hold the tree and the laughter Of all
the children echoes over fields and
down the narrow city streets, when
tender hearts, just everywhere, are
all 'aglow with the Joy Of human bro
therhood, there will not be a child ir
all the land that will not know old
00AC0 . OOOA 0AO0Aus "A LULU 1ulxp
will rise in mothers throat and per-
haps a tear in dear old dads eye will
tell us that the spirit Of the Christ
still lives"
This year Santa said he will have
a gift for everyone, the greatest gift
in all the world. OF course he will
leave the toys, the apples and the
candy sticks, but the candy will be
eaten and one day the tin soldier will
be bent. The big gift is to last for
rel Santa found it in a manager.
We forgot to ask it's name, but as we
look across the years and view the
setting sun, we think that Jesus call
ed It Love, so let us watch for it on
Christmas morn and nourish It thro-
ughout the years, each day. each mo-
ment of our lives.
