the latter sat at his desk in his At
lanta law office. Five shots were
fired into Cobun's body by Fox, who
began shooting Immediately upon en-
tering the lawyers office, without ut
tering word.
The principal character presented
a pathetic figure at the trial. Sitting
at the defense table with his head
sunk on his arms, his face ashen
in color, and his eyes constantly
twitching, he took little interest in
the proceedings. His right foot kept
up a constant tapping on the floor.
From the moment he was brought IN
to court he began that tapping and
kept it up necessarily.
Also a Sad Figure.
Sitting beside the accused the wife
presented figure equally pathetic.
She kept the fur collar of her coat
pulled high and her eyes shaded by
her drooping hat. She also showed
little interest in the trial. -,
And not once during the trial ana
they speak. The only emotion tha'
Mrs. Fox showed came when 1t was
animated that Fox had associated
with other women. Then she would
bow her head and her shoulders would
shake as though she were sobb1ng'
The defense introduced several
character witnesses, most OF them
from Dallas, where Fox had workod
as a newspaperman before coming
TO Atlanta. Each of these the sollc-
itor cross examined closely as to his
knowledge of Fox's personal habits
all tending to show free relations
with women. One witness he asked
If he knew about the time Fox had a
foht with the imperial wizard over a
woman. Another he asked if he had
heard that Fox had threatened to
shoot up a popular readhouse near
| Atlanta.
What he attempted to prove by IN
direction. the solicitor declared III

neses when he began his rebuttal IN.

when the chaperons sent one of the
boys home because of his scant at

All the fresh boys and girls were
supposed to dress like children, wear
short trousers, stiffly starched skirts
and rompers and kiddie cars for the
boys.
One of the boys who had no short
+rousers and did not feel like cutting
off the only pair he possessed, solved
the problem by attending the party
attired in his B. V. DIS and succeeded
in dancing two numbers in his airy
costume before the chaperons landed
upon him and thrust him forth into

to Drunken SPrees and Brawls in
Disorderly Houses in Georgia.
ATLANTA, Ga.-The trial of
Philip E. Fox has passed and the
promised sensational disclosures of
the inner workings of the ku klux
khan tailed TO develop. 1t was just
another murder trial
The entire khan issue was buried
beneath a recital of Fox's degrade
ton from q position of prominence
in Dallas, Tex, to associations with
women, fights and brawls in disorder
ly houses, and a series of drunken
sprees which the state indirectly
charged.
Before the trial began it was wide
ly heralded that the testimony would
reveal the inner workings of the khan,
that it would lay bare the lives of the
men who conduct the organization
and that it would disclose an organ
lied plot to kill off several of the
leaders of the William Joseph Sim
mons faction. Capt William S. Co
burn, who was shot and killed by Fox
was a member of the Simmons lac
ton, while Fox belongs to the Hiram
w. Evans faction, which now is in
control of khan affairs.
No Reference to Plot.
But the only testimony concerning
the khan brought out was when the
state showed that Fox had been a
party to a series of whippings in
Texas. No reference to the alleged
plot was made by either side.
After introducing only few wit
neses to prove that Fox had killed
Coburn the state rested Unexpectedly,
and the defense confined itself to an
attempt to prove that Fox was men
tally unbalanced when he fired the
fatal shots.

and understand that children whose parents protest will not

1t would that with the government statistics now
have vaccination that should be compelled have
their children vaccnated unless they wish
parents feel thatther children should be safeguard
