ruary 20, 1920, or over vwv
months after Todd knew OF BY
ron's criminal record, and asked
to have his money returned. Todd
Is said to have told Park he was
very foolish to want his money
back and to have convinced him
to retain his contract. Park also
charged Todd with telling him
that if the scheme looked 'shaky"
he would let him know in plenty
of time to get his money out. A
month later Park said he met
Todd In the Methodist church and
asked him how things were.
Alright" Todd is said to have
answered and to have turned on
his heel and walked away before
any further conversation could be
had. Park said he borrowed the
$500 he invested and lost.
Byron's Record Told.
G. H. March, clerk OF the court,
was called to officially inform the
jury of Byron's criminal record.
He brought the official record Of
Byron's conviction into court.
Charles McCarter and Fred F.
Prince, both $500 victims, said
they were persuaded by Todd to
invest their savings in the fraud
ulent scheme on December 20,
1919, and January 20, 1920, e.
spectively, or after Todd has ad-
mitted he knew Byron's criminal
record and positively assured him
them was no chance to loose in
the deal. Prince said Todd told
him that while Byron had been
indicted several times he had al
ways been freed of all charges.
! A. e. Cummings, who obtained
a $500 contract December %, had
a similar story, and added that
Todd told him that his brother, Ed
Todd, had been in the timber busi-
ness with Byron many years ago.
: f. e. Evans said he lost $500
in the scheme because he relied
solely on the representations rlade
by Todd.
4, Jury Is Serious.
| The jury trying this case is far
different from the jury selected
for the first trial. The first jury
appeared to take the trial as some-
what of a joke, and continued to
smile as the witnesses one by one
told how they had been lured into
purchasing nothing for something
In their ambition to obtain some-
thing for nothing.
The present jury seems to view
the case in entirely different
light. Hardly ever does any mem-
ber Of the body crack a smile.
They are listening to every word
of the witnesses, and even when
the remainder OF the court room
smiles over the pert remark Of a
witness or attorney, their faces re-
main as sombre as that OF the
court.
Mrs. Todd has also attended all
the sessions of the present trial
except the first half day. She
wears the same forlorn look, nnd
seldom smiles. She Is dressed In
the same coat. same green dress
and same faded blue hat which
she wore every day during the
last trial.

school boards. Ausman said 1t
was his experience that school
teachers were better business peo-
pie than many other persons, and
said this was especially true IN
the case of his wife. The defense
had been attempting to show that
school teachers were not good
business people. and thus win a
point in Todd's favor.
Humphreys returned the COM
pliment when Judge Miller finish
ed with the witness and asked
Ausman il he had noticed that
school teachers had any more dit-
ficulty in telling the truth than
other people. This question
brought forth a storm of protest
from the defense, but to no avail.
The court instructed the witness
to answer the question. Ausman
said 1t was his opinion that school
teachers told the truth. The prose-
cutor intended this question to af-
feet the statements OF the teach
ers who had testified against
Todd, and not for the benefit OF
the defendant.
Defense Objects.
Ausman's testimony was the
source of much objection on the
part of the defense, as his con
tract and check make up one OF
the indictments. Ausman's check
was drawn on an Albany bank
and went through the mails fol
collection.

cd unless the security offered by the

rover was sufficient for the grant
ing OF the loan; fourth, that the

ing AID home owning, and not In
speculation of real estate.

White Chapel" which for years

most lawless spot in Wilmlnrton's
underworld, will soon be no more.

two structures that formed a part
and parcel OF this trouble-breeding
