DECLARES INNOCENCE

Muncic. Ind, Nov l9.--(P)-Judgc
Clarence Dc.rlh last night intoncd
solcmHly the words of the verdict of
a jury which found Charles "Onc-
Arm" Wolfe guilty of murder in the
first degree. spelling one Of the
closing chapters in swift mo, ing
drama that has been tragedy for
all who held leading roles.
Despite an alibi set up by the de-
fcnse the jury adiudged Wolfe guilty
OF the mu urder Of Ben Hancc, farm.
er. on August Ia, and fixed his sen.
tence at life imprisonment. Two
companions Of Wolfe's in his halycor
days of spectacular criminal exploits
have already been dealt worse fates.
Chapman and Anderson
Gerald Chapman, daring mail rob
ber and alleged murderer, is await
ing execution Of a death sentence i'm
posed upon him for the murder of ;
New Britain. Conn, policeman. Th'
third member of the trio, George
Dutch" Anderson, met death a
Muskegon. Mich. recently when h,
engaged in a duel with detectiv,
who had caught him after he passe'
counterfeit money.
Hance and his wife were slain las
August when they were beset on
country road near here. Before h.
died Hance identified Wolfe and An
derson as his nssailants. 1t was as
sumed at the time that their motiv
was to retaliate against Hance fo
information he was alleged to hav
given the authorities which led t
the arrest of Chapman in Munci
earlier in the year.
Wolfe Breaks Down
When Judge Dearth slowly spok
: the words that mean life in a six b.
nine cell for Wolfe, the latter brok
! down. His head found his hand
! while his elbow rested on his knc
. and he said to his mother seated be
| side him:
Mother. Pm not guilty"
| The verdict came as surprise t
persons who had followed the cas-
and who had freely predicted ac
! quittal or disagreement, based o
the inability of three witnesses t
! identify Wolfe as one Of Hancc's as
| sailants.
Judge Dearth did not indicate whe
sentence would be pronounced.

Corn Stalk
Fiddle Shown
at Corn Show

A genuine corn stalk fiddle,
made and presented to the man
ayers Of the 1925 state corn
show by G. r. Montaney of Kuhn.
is on exhibition at the show and
is attracting considerable atten-
tiOn, especially among the young
cr people who believed that
corn stalk fiddle was purely
mythical.
MIR. MVntancy has given his
time and support to the three
annual state corn shows and
firmly believes that North Da-
kota can very soon be leading
all states of the northwest in
the production of this crop.
MIR. Montancy grew corn 40 years
ago in Wisconsin. and made the
first real success of growing a
l4.acre field of corn eight miles
northwest Of WatertOwn. s. d..
30 years ago. Corn actually
saved MIR. Montaney from losing
his home near DeSmet. s. D.. %

wheat and because Of drought
followed by rairy sea, Oh nc
harvested only 35 bushels from
the field. he has had % years Of

EVANGELIST
breaches ON
FOOLS CREED
His Subject for Tonight's
Sermon Will Be "Science
and the Bible"

"The Fools Creed" was the subject
of Evangelist James sermon last
night. He said he felt that this mes
sage should precede the one he had
announced, and indicated that he
would speak on Science and the
Bible" tonight. His text was taken
from the l4th Psalm and reads: "Thc
Fool hath said in his heart, there is
no God" He said, that is fools
statement because it is not the pro-
duct Of reasoning. The man who de-
nies fact because he does not want
to believe it, makes IA fool of HIM
self
THE greatest fact Of the universe
is the fact of the existence Of God,
the one who rules and rcigns. Deny
ing fact does not in any way era
dcate or change that fact. The fact
Of the universe is proof of al
mighty and allwise God that put
everything in its place.
There is a power that designs,
there is power that writes in colOrs;
and there is a power that counts even
the very leaves on the trees. Who
can that power be but God? The Lord
God exists, the Lord God lives and
the Lord is behind nature. God AL
mighty it is who hung the sun up
there, 93 million miles from the
earth, not so near as to burn Us nor
so far as to let us freeze. but just
far enough away to put our seasons
here and to give us light. Nature
proves there is Il God.
Instinct Proves There is a God
"In every creature of Gods there
goes out that instinct reaching for
something l>yond, crying out for
blessing. Instinct is the response to
an existing fact. That is the trouble
with the world today. The soul cries
out for God. and you can't satisfy
the cry of that mortal soul that goes
out for Immortality with evolution.
You can't satisfy it with ethical cul-
ture. God put something in there
that says, Il want God" There is
nothing else that will satisfy.
"Since the design is an absolute
proof and witness of designer, it
is also a testimony of the skill Of
the designer. Since God had the
skill to put this great world in its
orbits and keep it there, it only says
to me we have a wonderful God whose
ways arc far past finding out
Skeptics Ridiculed
He ridiculed the skcptics and
atheists who say that the universe
is the result of "chancc," by apply
ing their mode of reasoning to the
construction of locomotive, an au-
tomobile and watch.
Speaking of evolution. he said:
Evolution is the anesthetic the devil
is using to put Christians to sleep
until he has operated on them and
taken practical and Scriptural Chris
tianity out"
A mems trio, "His Grace is Greater
than My Sin," was sung by Rev. p.
S. Wright, Of the Presbyterian
church, Rev. F. Christ Of Wilton, and
Fred Hanson. Rev. Wright led in
the opening prayer.

o'clock.

RETROACTIVE
Committee Votes TO Nullify

troactivc tax reductions. in addition
to cuts in future federal levics, is
provided by the revenue bill now in
preparation by the house ways and
means committee.
The committee yesterday voted ia
nullify the increased inheritance
tax rates carried in the 1924 revenue
law. 1t would make the lower 1921
inheritance rates apply on all in
heritance tax settlements made since
the 1924 act became law and up to the
time the new bill now being written
with modified Inheritance rates be-
comes effective.
The provision in the 1924 law
however, allowing - per cent
credit on the federal inhc rtance tax
for payments made on state inherit
ance levies. was retained. Thus the
inheritance rates from June |, 1924
when the last act became law, actu-
ally would be lower than under the
1921 act.
Would Necessitate Refunds
AS a result the government would
have to make refunds on all settle.
ments of inheritance levies made be-
tween June >, 1924, and the effec-
tive date of the proposed new law
which 1t is estimated would amount
to several million dollars.
The 1921 inheritance tax sched.
ule had maximum of 25 per cent
and the 1924 law carries maximum
rate Of 40 per cent. The committee
proposes in the bill it is drafting tc
cut this to 20 per cent.
Hoping to wind up its work on the
bill by the end Of the week, the COM
mlttee will meet again tomorrow af.
