BY ARTHUR NJ. FREE.
S. Representative From CalifOr-
MIA, Eighth District

When was prosecuting attorney
in California, l had occasion to visit
court in neighboring county.
There was man up for horse
stealing who had no lawyer, and the
judge, with smile, appointed me
to defend him. The testimony
against my client was pretty strong
he had been seen to take the horse
and ride away. But one of the wit
nesscs said the thief had worn a
white hat and black shirt. By harp
ing on this discrepancy and pointing
out tnat testimony inaccurate in one
detail might be wrong in every
other way, succeeded, much to my
surprise, in getting verdict of not
guilty.
My client came over and shook me
by the hand,
Thank you Mr.. Free, thank
you," he said. Then, lowering his
voice. "Say, Mr.. Free, if I'm not
guilty, hadn't ought to get the
horse?"

Entomologists to Sic
Colony Of Beetles on
Bugs Running Pecans

QUITMAN, Ca, Jan. 15.-Much
damage has been done to the trees
and shrubs here this fall by a new
insect pest called.the cotton cushiUny
scale, which appears to have been
imported from some source in Flor
ida on nursery stock. 1t is said
that there are only one or two other
places in Georgia where this pest
has appeared. 1t was first noticed
last summer and was thought to be
the mealy bug, but specimen sent
to Washington was pronounced the
cotton cuhiOny scale. 1t has attacked
the evergreen in the parks and also
the trees. A number of fine pecan
trees have had to be cut down be-
cause Of this pest and it is consid-
cred a great menace to the pecan
industry.
DR.. r. l.. jerks and others inter
ested have appealed to the state
board Of entomology for aid and the
state entomologist has promised to
come down within the month an$
release a colony of Australian or
California lady beetles, the only
known enemy Of this nest.

27.7O on Saturday, touched 27.9O;

Tennessean Faces
Trial for Five Deaths
And Burning Home

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. To-
Staying of five people and burning
the home in which they resided is
the charge which Ben BurchfielI
must face at the session of Grim
inal court, which convenes in
Blountville, Tenn, January %.
Announcement has just been
made that the case of Burchfield
has been docketed for Tuesday,
January 80.
Wide interest has been taken IN
the case. 1t is regarded as one of
the most shocking crimes ever COM
mitted in this section of the coun-
try.
Burchfield has denied the allie
cations and it is expected that he
will attempt to prove an alibi.
He is alleged to have killed his
wife, 80 years old; Charles Burch-
field his 12-year-old stepson; Mr..
and Mrs. James w. Smith and their
daughter, Ruby, two years old,
whose bodies were discovered in
the ruins of a small frame combi-
nation store and dwelling, on West
State street, Bristol. The under
taker who handled the bodies said
an examination led him to believe
that the five persons had been slain
by the use of a hammer. Each had,
been struck a crashing blow on the
head.
Officers claimed that they found
blood on Burchfield's clothes when
he was arrested at Johnson City,
after a wide search for him follow
ing discovery of the charred bodies
by firemen. When Burchfield was
taken to Bristol to view the bodies
at the undertaking parlors, he calm
ly cheWed gum through the ordeal
and showed no great concern. He
trembled slightly when viewing the
remains of his wife, but quickly re-
gained his composure.

With all except two of the annual
supply bills already through the
house and senate making such a
record, it is now conceded there will
be no necessity for an extra session
on account of the annual supply
bills. There remains practically no
doubt that both houses will have
passed the appropriation bills before
March 4, and if an extra session is
called it will be because of interna.
