of S45920. dated December %, 1923,
He pleaded not guilty and was rep
resented by Attorney A. j. Crafty.
T. T.. Peacock handled the case for
the State and the judge found prob

dnce'S checking account at that
time. Mr.. Peacock testified that he

action had been taken or no notice
taken by the defendant.
In the defense Severance admitted
that he knew OF the small amount of
cash on his checking account at the
time which he gave the check. but
that he had planned on some money

sister came to the house and claim
ed the copper boiler. saying that she
had beens using il for washing and
that Mrs. LeSsard also had it for
that purpose. Attorney Dubord ex-
amined the boilers and found that

ment would only fit the copper boil
er. The other one had been SOL

would not call the attic a hide. The
place was about 16 feet square. He
also testified to hearing the CONVEX

Delightful Musical
Concert by Miss Cyr
At Opera House.

One Of the most delightful must
cal concerts ever given in this city
was presented last evening at the
City opera house by Miss Gladys
Cyr of New York, assisted by Tom
Williams, baritone, and Justin Will
,iams, pianist. The concert was Civ
en- under the auspices Of the Water
vile community service for the bene-
fit of the summer Fairgrounds. Fully
seven hundred people from Water
vile and other parts of the state
attended.
Miss Cyr, who is a former Water
willie girl. the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. F. Cyr of this city, Is a SOLO
and rich mezZo soprano voice. Her
program of songs included some very
difficult selections, some of them in
foreign tongue, but she executed each
one with grace and a remarkable
trueneSS of tone. She was received
with applause each time and after
singing a group of songs the audi
ence refused to allow her to leave
the stage until she had given at
least one encore.
The program was varied including
classical and semiclassical selections.
One of Miss Cyr's solos receiv-
ing the most applause was an en-
core, "Lindy LOU"
Tom Williams sang several BARI
tone solos and Miss Cyr and Mr..
Williams sang several duets. When
MIR. Williams appeared for his Sec
ond group the audience would not
allow him to stop until he had sung
two encores and he received a pro-
ionged round of applause after his
rendition of Kipling's "On the Road
TO Mandalay"
Both as an accompanist and a
soloist Mr.. Justin Williams proved
himself to be an artist of q quality
seldom seen on the stage in Water
vile. Following his rendering of a
group of piano solos he was called
back twice and even then his lis
teners were reluctant to allow him to
go.
Miss Cyr received n host of flowers
curing the evening among which
were a huge basket of American
Beauty roses and jonquils with or
chids at the top from her father and
mother; a bouquet of Laddie pinks
and Premier roses from the Oriental
tloWcr shop; bouquet of American
Beauties from the committee on ar
langements; a bouquet of Ophelia
rosebuds from Mrs. Justin Williams:
bouquet of pink Premier roses from

Rev. Mower Gives
Interesting Lecture
To Baptist Folks

Rev. /. Il. Mower. d. D., gave an
interesting lecture last evening at the
Getchell street United Baptist
church before good number of peo-
pie. His address was illustrated by
fine group of colored stereoptican
views which have recently been fin
shed and sent out at the United Bap-
list headquarters in New York City.
The lecture was given in conjunc-
ton with the Denominational mis-
sionary work which is being carried
OH by the Baptists all over the
world. and the views were presented
with the intent to set forth the diff
fcrent phases of the work.
The Baptists are just completing
the New World Movement which be-
gan about five years ago and during
this time missionary achievements
have been greatly increased.
Pictures were shown of many of
the churches in the United States
which have been built for foreign
speaking peoples such as the Slovak
church in Minneapolis. One could
hardly refrain from being in SYM
pathy with the great work. at seeing
these foreign people earning to live
as good Americans. becoming skilled
in different work and gaining an edu-
cation to enable them to break away
from the tolls of igo-ance and be-
come leaders amongst their own peo-
pie.
The work among the Indians at Ba-
cone College. Oklahoma has been
very efficient, and missions with cap
able workers have been built for the
negroes in Central and South Ameri-
ca.
The entire lecture and illustrations
showed the remarkable progress of
missionary enterprise at home and
abroad and was enjoyed very much
by the audience. AS the usual Thurs
day night service was taken up by
DIR. Mowers address, it was proceed
ed with a hymn the words of which
were thrown upon the screen and the
song sang by those present. At the
close another hymn was also sang.
