SCHLAPS MUST
HANG, DECISION
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS
CONVICTION AND PENALTY
TO SET NEW DATE

Ferdinand Schlaps must hang for
the murder of Ludmilla Geisler ac-
cording to a decision handed down
by the Supreme court Tuesday
which affirmed the conviction and
death sentence imposed by the
district court. The opinion was
written by Justice A. j. Galen
Schlaps, according to his own
testimony at the trial, shot Anton
and Ludmilla Geisler at their farm
home near Biem on May l, 1926.
The crime was particularly
brutal one. He was convicted of
murder in the first degree on July
"a and assessed the death penalty.
The date of execution was set for
Sept. 25 but an indefinite stay of
execution was secured by the APP
peal of the case to the supreme
court. The case was argued be-
fore the Supreme court on Feb.
"a. 1t will now be necessary for
Judge Paul to set a new date of
execution, and il is understood that
this will be done at the next regu-
lar law and motion day which is
April -. This would make the
time of Schlaps' execution come
between May 13 and June II, in
asmuch as it must come not less
than thirty nor more than sixty
days after the date of passing SEN
tence.
The news of the supreme courts
decision spread like wildfire over
town Tuesday afternoon, and Coun-
ty Attorney Marion received num-
erous congratulations on success
fully carrying the case through. 1t
was expected that the supreme
court would uphold the district
court, but it was a relief to have
definite assurance that they had
SO decided.
Schlaps has not yet been told
that the supreme court decision has
gone against him, but when the
subject was discussed with him in
an indirect way Tuesday he dis
played little interest in the outcome
of the appeal and seemed sullen
and taciturn. He said that he did
not know whether OF not his law
yers would appeal to the board of
pardons for Communication of the
sentence.
In appealing the case, counsel
for Schlaps held, among other
things, that the court erred in adj
hitting testimony concerning the
condition of the body of Tony
ieisler, in refusing to admit testi-
nony of Schlaps' mother concern
ng an illness which he had when
six years old, and in not admitting
certain testimony of young
school teacher concerning an in
test which she had given
him at the county jail.
The supreme court held that the
evidence relating to the condition
Of the bodies of both Geislers was
admissible and that it is the uni
gersal rule that when two persons
are killed at the same time and
place, and as a part of the same
,vent, evidence as to the circum-
stances of the killing of one is adj
nissable on the trial of the person
.harged with the killing of the
'ther.

GUNNER without tlOwer-trimmed
- hats? Perish the thought One
has only to view the latest models
from Paris to appreciate the fact that
flowers are decidedly in the millinery
picture but in ways most unique and
distinctive.
The tendency is marked toward
fiat flowers for they lend themselves
so successfully to the idea of being
built into the structure of the hat
without interfering with its original
contour. The method of applying trim
ming SO as to maintain an undisturbed
silhouette must be observed, in order
to secure a proper styling, according
to the modern conception of good de-
signing.
A fiat flower treatment is carried
out adroitly by forming a semi-crown
of roses for the black straw hat shown
at the top to the right in this picture.
The little bonnets in this collection
are quantity flower-trimmed. The one
to the left fiattens a few velvet
daisies against its side crown with
outreaching sprays Of heather. Also
note the fact that two wee ribbon

rutfles becomingly frame the face.
The other cloche adopts an intri-
cate working of flOwerets of every
hue and kind from artificial to those
of metal-ombre ribbon, touches OF
hand painting blending the entire into
an artful color symphony.
With flowery print frocks whose null
titudinous panels and jabots flutter
and sway at the touch of every breeze,
likewise with the picturesque frill-
skirted organizes, which have reap
peared upon fashions screen, gauzy
hats, broad-brimmed and flower
trimmed are the natural accompant-
ment
There is, on the large hat to the
left, the usual chiffon flange, which
so gracefully serves to make this
wide brim look wider. Flat flowers
elaborate the crown with a summary
transparent rose resting on the brim.
The vogue of huge brims has revived
the fashion of posing a single large
flower underneath next the face, as
evidenced in the concluding hat In this
group.

poses to cross them with desirable

obtain hybrids good for planting in

appeal to his fellow-scientists and to

fruits might be worth while in his
