For Another's Crime.

CINCINNATI, Feb. FL. "He's

After eight months of untiring and
unwavering devotion, Mrs. Leroy Nc
Kinney, Cincinnati, today sobbed hap

tidings that she had awaited confi'
IDENTIFY while the rest of the world
refused to believe.
Her husband, convicted of the MUIR
der of Patrolman Emory McCreight,
of Wilmington, Ohio, is to leave the
penitentiary at Columbus as soon as
Gov. A. Victor Donahey can sign
pardon. The real slayer of the Off
Ger, Louis Vandervoort, son of a
wealthy Clinton county farmer, has
confessed that he fired the fatal shot
during an attempted hold-up Feb
ruary IA, 1922, rivaling the exploits
Of DeadWood Dick.
Mckinney, twenty-nine years old,
was sentenced in the Clinton COM
mon pleas court at Wilmington to
pass the remainder of his life in the
penitentiary, but his wife, young and
pretty, refused to believe. Her hus-
band was far from the type of young
men from which bandits are re-
cruited.
He was a student of the University
of Chicago for two years, and in
court his appearance was the oppo-
site of the ordinary criminal, and
the young wife displayed a courage
that rivals any in fiction, sustained
by positive knowledge that Roy"
was with her when the shot that
killed the Wilmington patrolman was
fired.
Brushing aside tears, she explained
TO skeptical neighbors that hell be
freed some day."
Last night at the dusk hour, most
fitting for the time, she played on
her photograph the familiar "Song

A knock startled her, for visitors
had been few during her long fight
to free her Roy" A messenger boy
handed her a telegram.
A glance at the message rewarded
her for eight months of answering
allegiance.
"I think I'll have a nice big steak
for supper tonight" she gulped.

PAPER
OPPOSES BAN
ON SPORTS
Editorial in Central Bulletin
Pleads for Continuance Of
Athletic Contests.

Open opposition to the plan OF
Washington public school officials
to suspend athletics for two years.
in favor Of physical training pro-
gram, is voiced in the latest num-
Der of the Bulletin, a weekly pub
lication by the students Of Central
High School.
The editorial in the Bulletin
states that the proposed action of
the authorities is based on the re-
lief that the recent football season
developed incidents which led to
feeling of bitterness in the sporting
relations of the high schools.
The student paper claims that the
suspension of athletics would prove
more of a loss than a gain and
would destroy the friendly rivalry
among local high schools. The edi-
Iorial, commenting on the alleged
bitterness, offers this remedy:
1.-The students must prove to the
authorities that they are bigger
and squarer sportsmen, and able to
rise above and Srample out such
sentiment. No matter what may
happen, they must take things as
they come, and while fighting, fight

FREE BRIDGE WILL
\ SPAN St. MARY'S
At W|LDS LANDING

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Feb 5.--The
much-needed bridge to be erected at
Wilds Landing over the st. Mary's
river will be free and not toll.
This question was definitely set
tied at a meeting held in Brunswick
at the Brunswick Board of Trade
Friday afternoon. There were pres
ent representative from Savannah,
Jacksonville, Kingsland. and also Of
the federal and state highway de-
partments.
It was finally decided that free
bridge would be constructed over the
ST. Marys river at Wild's Landing,
near Kingsland, Comden county,
Georgia, this work to be undertaken
by the states of Georgia and Florida,
assisted by the state and federal
highway departments, provided the
counties of Nassau, Florida, and
Camden, Georgia, and the Chambers
of Commerce of Savannah, Jackson
vile and Brunswick pledge them
selves to raise sufficient funds to re-
imburse the Kingsland Bridge COM
pany the amount of expense already
incurred by that company in buy
ing rights Of way and doing consider
able preliminary work on the bridge
proper.
1t appears that the owners of the
Kingsland bridge have expended to
the present time 1888 on the pro-
iect, but they have finally agreed to
reduce the amount to $6,425. This
was done upon request that they
name the lowest figure they would
consider taking for the bridge as it
now stands.
If this bridge should be constructed
by private corporation and made a
toll bridge. it would completely pre-
clude any aid from federal or state
highway departments, and the high
