Judge s. M. Smyser of Holtville
Harry A. Skinner, county school at

complaint, testifying that Myagi
had been employing Cruz Mesa. IA,

In conjunction with the case, the

Cruz, IA; Josephine, II and Thomas,

Filing of the first cases at this

97.9 per cent. This figure. Skinner
declared, would be an excellent on"

publisher and one of the lead
ers of free thought, laid bare
the illegitimate birth of his

Decision to clear up the mys-

claimed nationwide interest.
A statement by Jacob Wet
tstein, SO year old Swiss miner

prompt the publisher to make
his startling disclosure.
Then to lend strength to his

Since Haldeman-Julius and
his bride came here to be mar

murder against Mrs. Hazel Hull,
self admitted slayer of her daugh-
ter's alleged betrayer.
Although conceding that the YER
diet had practically exonerated the
woman, Chief Deputy District At

to court if warranted.
When the verdict of the jury, re-

PUBLISHER REVEALS FACTS
RELATIVE TO GIRLS BIRTH


Tn explaining the situation
the wealthy publisher said that
almost 20 years ago while he
was engaged in newspaper
work in New York, he met
Marcel Haldeman, who then
was aspiring to become an
actress.
Living in the same apartment
their romance developed and
later a child, Josephine, was
born, according to the publish
er.
Then followed SIX years in
New York during which both
attained a measure of success.
They came to Girard and were
married in 1916, but did not
bring the child.
The mother yearned for
Josephine and the idea was con-
ceived to surreptitiously bring
her to Girard, place her with
a family and later "adopt
her. ="
The Wettstein family was
chosen according to Halde-
man-Julius, to harbor the girl
until she could be "adopted." "
"I have made this state
ment,' Haldeman-Julius said,
"because I would rather have
the world know that the child
was illegitimately born than to
have q ridiculous lie made pub
