A man from Boston Is swinging around the circle
In wool and mohair regions His name? J. NJ Lea.
He is a buyer for Boston wool merchants. While
swinging around he purchased four and a quarter
million pounds Of Texas four and five month fall wool
at around zoe q pound.
There isn't a wooden mill In Texas. Thcre isn't q
mohair mill. Boston buyers get the Texas crops Of
wool and mohair. New England manufacturers make
the finished goods. These goods are shipped TO Texas
and sold to the natives.
New England gets the velvet; Texas sheep and goat
men, In the sale Of the raw materials, receive that
which the eastern buyers are willing 10 pay.
There Is a reason why the manufacturing states
are the wealthy states Of the union.

CHAPTER 40

Resale sat In her cell the next
morning like q statue. When she
as much as lifted her hand 1t was
an effort that made her feel weak
and listless.
Duly she stared at the bars that
confined her and wondered how
long 1t would be before something
would happen. 1t seemed like years
since anyone had talked with her.
Was 1t only yesterday that the
newspaper ma had been to see her?
Would he be back again2
He had promised TO help her. But,
could anyone possibly help herr She
remembered an old expression Of
her mothers - something about
making her bed and having TO lie
on H." That's what she had done.
And she was q thief and had killed
a man.
Resale raised her hand and
pressed her aching head. III only
she could think. Remember. Mar
tino-he had rushed ut her-and
she had opened her eyes. and there
was Mother Murphy and oil those
people.
There was nothing 10 do but adj
nit she had killed him. But she
didn't remember. She had heard
that people killed in n blind rage.
Insane passion. That was what she
had done. She had been insane with
fear-and she had fired 20 protect

And yet-no one would under

electric chair, no doubt. The suit
cases? She wishe~ ne newspaper
man who looked like Tim would
hurry back and tell II they were
still there.
She shuddered and reached in
her waist and took out the crump-
led note that she had found in her
cell the evening before. Right at
her feet. Where had II come from?
She had zen no one except the
matron and a guard.
On dirty. cheap paper, read:
Your friend is not dead. Keep
your trap shut and we viii not do
nothing to him. Tell and he viii

The writing was in a -amped,
childish hand and nc the bottom
there was n small black hand

mered painfully with forebodlng.

newspaper man. But she colldlt
now. They would kill Roy II they
were really telling her the truth

more time before she told lie would

Hold FINAL
HERRICK RITES
Thousands of Government
Officials and Townsmen
Mourn Ambassador

CLEVELAND, April 15.-(P)-The
grief of thousands Shrouded the
funeral bier of Ambassador Myron
T. Herrick today.
Two weeks after his death in Paris
his mourners paid them their last
respects to his memory. Joined
with representatives of the French
and American governments in ex-
pressing their grief were city and
state officials and hosts of his fell
low townsmen.
Mourning throngs numbering
nearly 100000 yesterday paid trib-
ute as the body was taken from a
special train from New York and
placed in Trinity Episcopal cathe-
dral for the funeral. The caSket
was accompanied by the ambassa-
doris son and daughter-in-law, Mr..
and Mrs. Parmely Herrick, their
son, Paremly, Jr., Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and intimate friends of
the family Wishes of the ambassa-
dor today separated the last rites
from any observance but that ac-
corded a plain citizen except for
the simplest recognitions from the
governments he served.
President Hoover chose PostmaS-
ter Walter F. Brown of Toledo as
his personal representative at the
funeral. William r. Castle, Jr., of
the department of state, and Brig.
Gen. D. r. Nolan of the war depart
ment were the others to receive
commissions to represent the gov
ernment. Count de Sartiges, coun-
seller to the French embassy, was
assigned to bear the respects of the
country where the diplomat was
loved so well.
