was because the rock in David's
sling was that invincible weapon We
call the truth.
Just before Willie went upon the
stand Mrs. Hall and all of the Stevens
and Carpenter families moved their
seats where they would have a better
view. and they watched him with un-
concealed eagerness, but with no
anxiety that one could detect. Mrs.
Halls face always softens into Ma
donna expression when she looks at
this brother who is like q child to her
and for whom she has cared with un-
wearied tenderness all Of her life. AS
the examination wore on and he stood
up so calamity under II, ] fancied
that she was saying to herself again
what she had written to her brother
Henry when Willie was first arrested
II was proud Of Willie" He bore
himself like a very fine gentleman.
Tomorrow Senator Simpson will re-
turn to Willie's examination with
fresh energy and determination to
break him down. but the family de-
clare they have no apprehension, for
they say that Willie never lies.
The balance Of the day was mostly
taken up with the finferprint experts,
who declared. and brought large dia-
grams TO prove it. that the finger print
found on the card at DR.. Halls foot

The witness told of the occasion
when detectives took two Of his suits
and his hat from the Hall home after
the double Staying. Then Simpson
questioned him about his sending two
suits to a tailor, about which the
tailor's errand boy had testified fol
the State, saying Willie made him
take the clothes from the house by
back route, and that when he reached
the tailor shop he noticed dark
spots" on one of Willie's vests.

On further questioning, Willie said
he went nowhere on Friday. the day
after the double Staying, to try and
locate the Rev. Mr.. Hall.

"At the opposite end Of the hall"

COUNTY CASH IS USED
FOR VOTES, IS CHARGE
Pinchot Appointee Makes Claim of
Discovery of Secret Pay Roll
and Wants $4,000 Audit.
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH. November "a
Charging that county funds had been
used as secret payroll" for efpotion
purposes. Charles G.. McGovern,
named county controller six months
ago by Gov. Clifford Pinchot. yester-
day asked the Allegheny County com
missioners to appropriate $4,000 for
an independent audit of the hooks Of
his office. The commissioners asked
the law department for an opinion on
the legality of such an audit.
Controller McGovern said $21. 900
was paid out this year through "the
secret payroll" This money, he
added. was used to beat fellows like
Pinchot." McGovern claimed book
keeping methods in the controllers
offices were at fault I'm that "one set
of books showed apparent expendi-
lures, and then papers and other
things underneath showed something
else"
Gov. Pinchot. at odds with the polit
ical factions in this county, was called
upon to name a controller here to fill
a vacancy caused by death.

Contact With World Is
 Costly to Wieringers

Wieringen, Holland. Feb. 5 A4- The honest folk of this island, vide ly known as the former place of exile of the former German Crown Prince, have not spent an hours quiet rest of nights since the island was joined to the mainland by & dam as part of the great Zuydefzes drainage scheme.
 Wieringen was an Arcadia where all the rugged and pristine virtues reigned. Burglaries or robberies were unknown. Since the dam was laid, however, the islanders have been suffering from a vetitsbls plague of thieves and other unde- sirables who have descended upon them from the mainland.
 Wieringers now are asking them selves whether it was worth while to come into closer contact with civilization.
