Points i'm the Case.

Apparently conviction or acquittal
hung upon three points. One Was
whether or not Basford had felonious
intent when he entered the bank and
took the money. Another was wheth-
err or not while he had the money he
CONVEX ted any Of it to his own pur-
poses. lie third-why, if c. H. Bas-
ford was guilty of larceny and en-
bezzlenent, did the state fail to bring
action against. him at the time?
Whether or not Mr.. Basford had
felonious intent when he entered and
took the money-no one knows. He
SAYS he didn't. The state by circum-
stantial evidence endeavored to prove
that he did. The onlooker can draw
his conclusions Only the heart Of
Charles H. Basford and Almighty God
know the truth.
The state in failing to fully prove 10
the jury's satisfaction that Mr.. Bas-
ford did not return the original money
failed to hang an important point OF
embezzlement upon him The law
says it is necessary to prove that a
defendant has appropriated the money
for his personal use before an EN-
bezzlement can be proved. That is, If
the money was taken with pure intent
and not misused and eventually re-
turned in entirety an embezzlement
would not have taken place.
Upon the other point also hung pub
lie sympathy for Basford. Guilty or
not, the man on the street concluded,
Basford should have been prosecuted
at the time or the matter dropped for
ever. To bring the charge as Pugh
and Clark did when their own jig
seemed up smacked Of an effort to
draw their aged confrere down with
them Undoubtedly this point played
a large part in forming public opinion
around the case No doubt, also, it in
fiuenced the jury.
One might write along for hours Oh
the Basford case, but apparently
enough has been written to cover it
and present the facts to the reader
unable to attend the trial. One point
remains to be said-C. H. Brown,
Especial bank examiner, said he. had
found no evidence that Mr.. Basford
had any connection with defalcations
in the bank. However, one may feel
or believe about Mr.. Basford's defense
this point stands out in his favor.

BUSINESS EDUCATION ON THE

A farm is a business, and the farm
err needs a business education just as
much as the city business man. For

year. We do not urge the boys and
girls to leave the farm, as there is
nothing finer, but they should get d
business education. 1t makes success
full farmers. If one ever does want TO
take a business position. Business
Education is the only education that
will give you we'll paid work and sure
promotion in two hundred different
lines of business. That's something
to think about.
