CONVICT AIDED
BY LEGAL FLAW
Twist In Divorce Law Gives
LITER Chance For
Freedom

LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 8.-P,-
Fate turned a flip-flop for Robert
r. Garrett, convicted and sentenced
to life Imprisonment for brutal STAY
ing in the rugged Nebraska sand
hills region.
Through a queer twist in a Is
year-old divorce law his sentence
has been lifted by a one-day mar
gin and he has a good chance 10
win freedom.
CARROTS estranged and presum-
ably divorced wife convicted him
with her testimony. She was the
only witness of the killing Of Will
liam Kinsley. the ranchman for
whom she was acting as house
keeper.
The packed courtroom was tense
as she took the witness stand and
told her dramatic story, accusing
Garrett.
She told how Kinsley was shot
down as he passed the living
room window at the ranch - the
roar Of the gun-his fall. Then she
ran to the window. peered out. and
saw a figure crouching in the gloom,
smoking gun in hand. The figure
was Garrett. she testified.
Levelling the gun at her he took
her many miles into the country
before releasing her, she said.
Garrett denied that story. denied
the Staying. and as the trial pro-
crossed produced an abb to show
he vas many miles from the scene
of the Staying. But the jury be-
lieved the woman.
Just as he had grown accustomed
to his prison life. after two years.
the supreme court sustained his ap-
peal and sent the case back.
Nebraska laws require that a wife
must wait six months after asking
a divorce before the writ can be
granted. II was designed TO pro-
mote cancellations. Mrs. CARROTS
writ had been obtained one day be-
fore the six months expired and OF
the time of the Staying and the tris!
she was still his wife. and there
fore could not testify against him.
Now it is the states turn TO seek
loopholes and technicalities III the
law. In the meantime Garrett is
held in prison. awaiting retrial.
The law, the supreme court ruled.
Is constitutional. and when Ca
rett again faces the bar the states
chief witness-his wife-cannot
point at him in accusation.

.INFORMERS ON
SMUCGLERS Get
LIBERAL BONUS
Uncle Sam Paid Out Total
of $3.50, 900 Last Year
for Tips.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service and Times Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.--If you
happen to know OF any one who is
trying to Smuggle something valu-
able into the United States in viola
ton of the customs laws. you can
make tidy little sum for yourself
by tipping of your Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam, being on his toes to
stop smuggling, always is ready to
pay literally for information Of that
kind.
The Customs Service paid out
$250,00 last year to informers who
tipped off its officers about people
who were trying to smuggle things
into the country, and one man made
$4,000 simply by passing the word
along that somebody was taking
some jewels to America and might
try to smuggle them in.
You Get Percentage
Under the 1922 tariff act, any one
except federal officer who provides
original information leading to
smuggling seizure or recovery OF
duties and penalties is entitled 70
Is per cent of the net proceeds,
payments being limited to $50, GOO.
This provision is very valuable to
the customs service in its business.
Attention has been called to the
practice by revelation that $500
awaits the woman who is supposed
to have told the Detroit officials
about forty cases of liquor seized on
a Detroit capitalists yacht a few
weeks ago.
The government, under the Law,
was entitled to seize the yacht. but
it called things square for $4,000
and rs per cent of that amount is
$500. The informer has not yet
applied for the money.
officials Secretive
The number of informerS re-
warded in single year runs some
where in the lower hundreds, but
the customs officials are secretive
about the whole business because
of its anxiety to guard the identity
Of informers.
One time an American followed
a celebrated movie star into Paris
store from mere curiosity. He saw
her buy some expensive jewelry and
reported the purchase on an on
chance that she might not declare
it on her return to New York. She
didn't and the curious American
made some easy money.
From the size of collections made
by some informers, 1t would appear
that they need have no other occu-
patton. incidentally, no govern
inent bureau besides the customs
service appears to offer such re-
wards for information Of lawbreak-
ing.

we see the Magister attempt his
experiment.
Miss Uric is cast as Nina who is
the Magister's chief manikin. The
inventor has to keep his manikins
on ice and so Miss Uric makes her
first appearance from an icebox
under the stage of the theater.
Nina is quite a vamp when the
violet rays of life play on her. She
with other manikins are placed IN
the Red Mill, the strange inven-
ton, in which the Devil is inter
ested.
Nina is modern when she exer-
ciSes her charms. And Nina gen.
orally gets what she wants from
her victims, but of course she fails
to land JanoS, a forester and a good
man.
Nina nearly makes a wreck OF
Janos in an hour, but he remen-
bers God and the ten command
ments and this causes the machine
to explode.
We last see Nina climbing over
the terrible wreck, crying out for
her human lover. Then the Magis-
ter takes her in his arms and Nina
is ready to be taken back to the
ice box for months to come.
That is Nina" the most costly
staged show in New York. I am
told that it must run at SIS a seat
