NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Comment
from Washington has injected q
little more confidence into the i'm
mediate credit situation, suggest
ing that any discussion of an in
crease in the rediscount rate is de-
cidedly premature. This, together
with the announcement that Secre-
tary Mellon will probably continue
in Office will be regarded as con-
structive. On the other hand high
money is still with us and will act
as a check to over-enthuSiasm.

Sympathy by Veniremen
Selection of jury proceeded
with difficulty because many of the
veniremen admitted they were in
clined to free her without further
ado.
Evans was taken to Denver gen.
eral hospital three months ago suf-
fering from gunshot wounds in
fiicted by bandit he had attempt
ed to arrest.
He was placed in the ward over
which Miss King had charge. She
recognized him as John G.. Bobzine,
who had married another woman
while pressing his suit with fier.
Miss King bought a revolver, and
that night while Evans slept on a
hospital cot she shot one bullet
through his head and another
through his heart. She then at
tempted suicide, but recovered.
"I shot him because I loved him, -
she said.
| Love Precious to Me"
Physicians despaired of Miss
Kings life for a time. She said she
wanted to die. She recovered slow
/ ly, however, and was placed in the
county Jail. She took scant interest
in the life about her.
"I do not want to live without
him." she said.
Before court opened Miss King
was on the verge of collapse. She
knelt in her cell, matrons said, and
prayed for just verdict.
Next, she said a prayer for the
soul of Evans.
Then, according to the matrons
she rose unsteadily and sobbed:
Love is precious to me-"

the town, it completely destroyed
communication facilities and left the
townspeople to gather their dead
and injured in isolation and confu-
sion.

the town of Alligator, killing two
Negroes and injuring an unknown
number. Reports from the rural
section between Duncan and Alliga-
