Summer Schools

There are fewer summer schools
being taught in Arkansas than for
merly. An effort is being made to
standardize the terms as it is found
that much better work can be done
during the other seasons Of the year
than in the hot summer months. 1t
is found to be much better for the
the teachers as well as the pupils as
it gives them an opportunity for va
cations and to do institute and normal
work. It is found also that where the
summer school is not emphasized the
district hnds it possible as a rule to
have longer winter terms, WITH bet

STOOL Pigeon MUST
EXPLAIN HIS Stories
CONTINUED from First Page)

| Strolls testified that Sevenski went
into the store while he and Oficer
Stadler remained on the opposite side
Of the street.
He said that Sevenski was in tile
store for about 10 minutes and when
he came out handed the bottle to one
OF the officers.
Tells Different Stories
Sevenski when first called to the
stand stated that he went to his home
before he went to the store, and when
cross examined stated that he did not
60 to his house until after he pur-
chased the liquor.
He said he went into the store,
bought a package Of cigarettes and
then asked for the liquor. paying As
cents for a drink and that which was
put in the bottle for him.
His testimony was conflicting and
Attorney NJ. D. SAKE. who represented
the accused. stated that he was un-
reliable. Judge Mangan said that
even the prosecutor was surprised at
his witness
The interpreter was called to the
stand and when Sevenski had again
been sworn under oath, this time in
Polish, he was allowed to testify as an
entirely new witness.
Again he told the police he pur-
chased the liquor for IS cents but that
the man he bought it from was not
in court. He said that following the
arrest of the Grezenia's he had been
brought to the police station to iden-
tify the man who sold him the liquor.
He said that he thought it was one
of the men.
Where Was He Monday:
When asked why he did not appear
in court last Monday he said that he
was in Massachusetts, visiting sick
brother. It was then learned that he
was at the police station Monday
night and told Lieutenant Bamforth
that he was afraid 70 go home alone
as four or five men wanted to beat
him in a store on Orange street. He
said he did not know why they want
ed to hit him.
It was also learned that when he
was told at police station on Monday
to appear in court Thursday morning
he said he was afraid to be there.
Attorney SAKE said that he believed
there was a personal motive behind
his fear and he was going to attempt
to learn what 1t was.
Judge Criticizes Witness
At this point Judge Mangan stated
that he was satisfied that Sevenski
was an unwilling witness. Attorney
SAKE then questioned whether or not
SeveF,ski had liquor at home.
Sevenski then testified that he went
directly from the police station to the
store. where he purchased the liquor
and direct to his home before giving
it to the police. He said That he went
home to think over what to do and
to talk it over with his wife before he
brought 1t to the police station.
He then said that when he went in
to the store he asked Joseph Grezenia
IL he could purchase some liquor to
