Gated with Thurston in the robbery Of
the Vollmen Bank at Craigmont on
Oct. 2I and in the killing of Traffic
Officer Gordon Harris in the Lewis
ton orchards few hours later.
The three other members of the rob-
Der gang are serving life sentences in
the Idaho penitentiary, and though
Myers had been brought back to Lew
iston as witness for Thurston, Meth
err he nor the defendant were put on
the stand. The case was practically
allowed to rest on the state 3 presen-
tation.
the incident. of the finding of
dangerous looking hunting knife on
Thurston g person when Officers
searched him just prior to taking him
from Jail to the court room, was made
a strong point in the evidence, and
this had a tendency to Danish any
leniency that might have been shown
him.
Prosecuting Attorney Pencil of
Lewis county assisted Prosecuting At
torney Phillips of Nez Perez county in
handling the state s side of the case.

FOLLOWS HUSBAND
TO GREAT BEYOND
Widow of Late President Harding
Passes Peacefully After
Most Useful Life.

Marion, O., Nov. 21.-Mrs. Florence
King Harding, widow of the late pres
ident, died today.
Weakened by the shock of her hus.
public funeral year and half ago,
Mrs, Harding was unable to throw off
the recurrence Of the malady which
had brought her to the very gates of
death in 1922 at the White House.
She became severely i'll late in Oc-
tober Save for brief intervals of inn
provement, her strength ebbed grad
ually away until the end.
Mrs. Harding was i'll two weeks be-
fore the gravity of her condition be-
came known outside White Oaks, the
sanitarium and country estate of the
Sawyers.
Then on the morning of Nov. 8, DR..
Carl w. Sawyer, after a consultation
with DR.. J. @. Wood, Cleveland abdom-
inal specialist, issued bulletin de-
scribing her condition as alarming. -
The nation which SO admired the
fortitude with which Mrs. Harding
bore up under the many dramatic
chapters in her career as first lady of
the land was quick to send words of
good cheer to her bedside.
Probably no other woman in the his
tory of America national life over
held SO securely the admiration of the
country as did Mrs. Harding.
Marion, Ohio, Nov. 24.-Under a
leaden sky, Florence King Harding
was laid to rest in Marion cemetary
today beside the mortal remains of her
husband whom she helped rise from
country editor to the presidency of
the United States.
Grouped around the gray vault with
heads barred to the chill wind that car
ied fury of snowflakes, hundreds
paid a last tribute to the widow Of
Warren G. Harding, twenty7ninth
chief executive of the nation.
The funeral services which were
held at Epworth church were simple.
Ehere the Rev. Mr.. Swank delivered
short sermon and prayer was said
by DIR. Lands.
1t was Mrs. Harding's wish that
sThe End of Perfect Day" be sung
it her funeral The Columbus RE
publican Glee Club, numbering more
han forty voices, furnished all the
music at the services.
Immediately at the coclusion of
he services the guard of soldiers that
aas maintained vigil at the Harding
tomb since August, 1923, resumed its
place.

By reason of her fathers determin
alton to train her thoroughly in the
details Of his business, she was hil
constant companion as girl, She
worked in his bank, and drove about
the country with him when he went te
various farms he owned, or on business
connected with the bank.
She early became an ardent horse
woman. She kept her love for horses
all her life. She reluctantly took to
the automobile in later years.
Late in the seventies, Florence
King met Henry De Wolfe, whom she
married in Marion. Soon after the
birth Of her only son Marshall Eugene
De Wolfe, in Prospect, O., in 1880, sh
obtained a divorce Her divorced hus-
band died some time prior to her mar
riage with Warren Harding.
Her son, Marshall Eugene De Wolfe,
died in 1915 of tuberculosis in Denver,
Colo, leaving 70 survive him two chill
dren and his wife, who subsequently
remarked.
Florence King first met Warren
Harding at dance in the eighties.
Despite the strenuous objections of
her father, Harding began nm ardent
court ship. King told his daughter
that the struggling young publisher OF
the Marion Star" had no future and
would "never amount to anything =
Florence, however, defied parental
wrath and married Harding in Marion
on July 8, 1891. Amos King dis
owned her and for years would not
speak to his son-in-law, though they
became reconciled eventually.
The early days of the Hardings were
a struggle to put the paper on its feet
Harding had built "a home for his wife
but the paper was anything but pros
porous. Harding was his own editor,
reporter, advertising manager and at
times his own compositor and makeup
man.
The outstanding feature of the life
of Warren Harding and his wife, was
an idyllic partnership which first as
serted itself when Florence Harding
insisted that she be given charge Of
the circulation department of the
Marion Star"
Mrs. Harding took complete charge
of circulation. For IA years she
worked in the "Star" office, mapping
squads of "newsies She ruled them
with firm hand. No reunion on the
Front Porchn during the campaign
when score or more of Mrs. Hard
ing's former charges, now prosperous
business men, returned to pay hom-
age to her and her husband.
From the time Mr.. Harding became
interested in politics, she made study
of things political just as she had fam
iliarized herself previously with the
Marion Star printing plant, and when
the results of the 1920 elections had
been written into political history,
in Marion nodded their
heads and related how the young ed
itor's wife had promised her intimates
on her wedding day that "some day
will make him president.
But with all her interest in public
she had true woman Is love
for a well-ordered home and was
known to White House attendants as
an unusually painstaking housekeeper.

1t was rather interesting to hear
