Ables Released In
Trial Held Tuesday
For Hale Killing

Henry Hale, resident of the Pes
Ridge settlement, a section OF lowel
Holmes county, near Tolarville, wa:
shot and killed Saturday night by Mar
vim Ables, son Of Wilda Ables, who lives
in the same vicinity.
According to statement made BY
Wilda Ables, who was in Lexington early
Sunday morning, the shooting occurred
in the public road near the intersec.
tion of the Howard and Tolarville
roads. He stated that Marvin Ables and
his wife had been to neighborhood
party, and had returned home, when the
wife missed small suit case that con-
tanned their baby's milk. Marvin left
to search for it and in returning, met
up with his brother, Will Ables and his
wife, who had been stopped by Henry
Hale, who wanted to give . drink to
Will Ables. He refused to take drink
and his wife expressed the same opinion
and requested that Hale allow them to
proceed. This was resented by Hale,
who began to abuse them, whereupon
Will Ab1es got out of the automobile
and pleaded with Hale to 60 home and
let them alone. At this juncture Hale,
it is said, reached in the car and caught
hold Of Mrs. Ables, which was stopped
by Will Ables. It was then that Marvin
Ables arrived on the scene and made the
same request of Hale that he allow
them to proceed. Hale then directed
his attention to him.
Turning to Marvin Ables, Hale is said
to have reached in his pocket and got
out knife, reaching with his left hand
to grab Marvin Ables, and raising his
right hand to stab, whereupon Ables
stepped back and fired, the bullet en-
tering under his right arm pit and
emerging on the left part of the body.
Death was instantaneous.
Will Ables then left to summon help
from the neighborhood to see what had
transpired and ]. W. Eakin and Howard
Winstead reached the scene and viewed
the details of the affair.
Marvin Ables next left the place and
went home to tell his wife, and also to
notify his father of the shooting. At
rendered, and was lodged in Jail to
await preliminary hearing, which was
held in Lexington Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock, before Judge c. X. Reid and
Judge W. R. Tate, Of Beat 1, and Judge
Claude Taylor, Of Beat 8.
Hon. G. H. McMorrough represented
the defendant at the hearing, and after
examination of witnesses, and the story
above corroborated, the court rendered
a decision of justifiable homicide, and
the defendant discharged without bail

VINEYARDS OF
FRANCE FLOW
LIQUID COLD
Excellent Yield Promises
Drop in Champagne
Prices.
BY RICHARD D. M'MILLAN
United Press staff Correspondent

PARIS, Dec. 6.-Liquid gold has
been flowing from the champagne
vineyards of France this year and
lovers of "the widow" the world
over may reap the benefit in the
form of cheaper prices for their
faVorite blends.
The yield, now that the harvest
is ended, is declared to be excel
lent, both in quality and quantity.
the latter reaching nearly 100000
gallons, which is a vast improve
ment on last year when the Cham
payne harvesters and merchants
bemoaned paltry output of just
less than 100000 gallons.
Growers are recalling the days
before the war when the vintage
amounted to sometimes 100000
and even 100000 gallons, although
that but rarely.
They have a double cause for
congratulation, in which the con-
sumner may join, in that the sugar
content of the grapes has been
greater than for many years.
Champagne is still the rich mans
drink even in France and the
average Frerchman, therefore, is
not greatly interested in the crop,
except in the money it will bring

FOR RENT SIGN PUT
ON LIQUOR DISPENSARY

Former Valparaiso Saloon Keeper
Quits After Federal Court Parole.
Bty Times Special
VALPARAISO, Ind, Dec. 6-John
Schumacher, former local saloon
keeper, has put a For Rent" sign
on his place of business where he
violated the prohibition law.
Recently Schumacher, an old Of
fender against the dry law, was SEN
fenced by Federal Judge Thomas w.
Slick to pay a $1,000 fine and spend
four months in jail. The Jail term
was suspended however, after a
dramatic plea by Attorney John P.
Crumpacker, who announced it
would be his last bootlegger case
and for that reason he wished to
have his client escape a jail term.
The unusual request was granted
by Judge Slick, who paroled Schu-
macher to the attorney, with the
warning that another liquor arrest
would end the suspension.

good news also from the south

In the cheaper cafes of Paris it
is possible to get glass of good
Bordeaux blanc for from fifteen
sous to a franc (about four cents

Partisan finds this dear compared
with the days when he could get
two good bottles for the same price.
Statistics show that consumption
of wine in France is decreasing and
with the continued loss of the reg

be big enough surplus to justify
a drop in price.

U. S. Agents Can Seize
Night Club 'SetupS.'

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Prohibi-
ton Commissioner j. M. Doran
ruled today that dry agents may
proceed against cabarets and night
clubs serving ginger ale and cracked
ice or other "setups" if patrons be-
come intoxicated.
He has told makers of soft drinks
that the Government has no desire
to interfere with their legitimate
business, and that agents seeking to
make cases against such ''setups"
purely to advertise themselves will
be dismissed.
But, simultaneously, he upheld
agents proceedings against night
palaces which charge fancy prices
for "setups," knowing that the set
ups" are being used solely as base
for highballs, rickeys and similar
connections.
1T is a violation of the Volstead
act to serve 'setups' when the oper-
ators of clubs know they are serving
settler water or ginger ale. purely
for mixing drinks of customers" Dr.
