 This boy h~s had the worst breaks in life that hlyo ever h.'n piled upon the shoulders of one man.
 Before you ~an say he ls guilty, and so send him to rHe chair you must be satisfied that there is no reasonable doubt O. h.s guilt.

 Syme, his voice gradually rising until he was almost shouting in the faces Of the jury. continued to say that both the district attorney and the grand jury gave evidence of doubt in the wording Of the iudict- ment The indictment said that tn" young wife met her death in d man ner unknown. although if did men ton blows on the head and towel tide about the head.

 We say it was sullocation, accl- dental. Dr. Squire's report said jt was one or the other. But on the stand he said 1t was strangulation. Why did he change like this? Who told him to? Was 1t because il Was realized that the case had 10 be bolstcred up?"
 Syne next turned to the testimony of Michael SilversteIn, the detective who took Peacox's first verbal con- fession.

Mrs. Ethel Widmyer, of Berkeley
Springs, Morgan county, is ask
Ing damages in the sum Of
$4,000 in a suit filed in circuit
court there, against ex-Sherift
Q. B. Hovermale.
The complaint alleges that
while occupying the official posi-
tion of that office, HoVermale
came to the residence of the
plaintiff, without warrant,
forcibly taking young Widmyer
to Jail and later releasing him
without hearing on any charges.
The affair grew out of the dis
appearance of a Berkeley Springs
resident about a year ago and
Widmyer was the last person to
have seen him. The vanished
resident, Arthur SWope, was later
discovered near Frostburg, Md,
working in the sand mines there.
"A second damage suit has also
been filed against the ex-sheriff,
brought by George Vanorsda!e,
who asks damages in the sum of
$1,000 from Hovermale because
the latter is alleged to have failed
to execute a writ of execution

Easter FrOckS
for Girls Like
Mother Wears

With Easter school holidays not
far distant the attention of modiSts
and merchants is centered on
clothes for young people. The de-
signs are even more interesting than
usual this season, because the modes
are so varied.
Frocks and coats and hats for
girls between the ages of 9 and Is
are in way but reproductions of
the styles for women in line,
material, and color.
Now that the slim figure is con-
sidered to be the ideal, and skirts
for women are short, the small
daughter differs but slightly from
her mamma.
Every type of dress is translated
into models for girls for every occa-
SIGN, from the general wear frock to
the party dress, including several of
the 1n-betWeen outfits for sports,
travel and days at home.
In the early spring collections the
tailored suit, is offered to meet the
chief wardrobe demands. This is
SHOWN in just the two-piece, to be
worn with third item, the jersey,
overolouse, or jumper, as the Selec-

Fur Sca9.fS Are
i'm Good GraceS
of Fashion Again

Fur scarfs once more are being
worn by smart women both in
America and abroad. The new ones
are not confined to animal shapes,
but include many models made up
in designs that allow for individual
draping, according to the whim of
the wearer.
Some are cut in shapes very sim
liar to these usually followed for
silk or wool. Others made in plain
straight bands. which are to be
looped about the throat with the
ends falling over the shoulder or
back.
The Ascot shape is introduced,
made of caracul, galyak. ermine and
kid. The colors are varied and
usually chosen to lend contrast.
Some of these scarfS are silk
lined, while others are finished on
both sides with the same fur
though this style is by no means
the rule.
Separate fur scarfs are TO be-
found made of fox m new lengths
and in sables in comhirations OF
two or more skins.

TUCK-IN SHIRT IS
NATTY FOB GIRLS

The tuck-in shirt is shown in
other smartly tailored suits for girls,
most of them made of light weight
wool goods for the coat and skirt,
and for the shirtwaist, soft silk
such as is used for mems shirts; or
crepe or georgette.
One model of brown wool crepe
quite out of the ordinary has a
jacket with a section which begins
at the shoulders and is carried with
stitching down each front and in a
wide band around the back.
In the curve at each side pocket
is inserted and three buttons fasten
the coat at the bottom. The skirt
of this model is severely plain with
an inverted pleat at each side.
The tuck-in shirt is especially de-
signed for sports dress, though it is
shown in some of the new suits
for young girls to be worn for
general daytime occasions.

DIAGONAL STRIPES IN
NEW WOODEN FABRIC

An interesting wooden fabric seen
in sports ensemble is woven with
narrow diagonal stripes in two COL
ors, beige and brown, or brown and
some other color, combined with
white.
This fabric is used for the coat
and skirt and the design is repeated
in the jersey which is predomi-
nantly white.
A bit of the striped stuff is intro
duced to initiate a bow tie with
loag ends. Sweaters also are knit
ted with two or three colors in per-
oendicular stripes, many with black
in the pattern, to be worn with a
black skirt.
An overblouse CT white crepe is
,nnliqued with bold decorative
design of red and black crepe. It
is to be worn with a coat and skirt
of ed tweed.

now, as we'll as silks in monotone
effects, which are used with and
without borders. Contrasting COL
ors are also INDUCED in, the con-
sentative prints being used.
Solid colors with odd border treat
ments in contrasting Weaves are
also to be seen. For instance a top
of heavy tafeta will be finished with
"a border of satin, or a plain silk
with one of grosgrain. Or, again,
the borders alone may carry the
only establishment.
The handles seem to command
most attention. The new ones are
decided "swagger" and are not at
all confined in any particular type
or material.
The new composition materials,
which now are made to simulate
the semi-precious stones, amber,
tortoise-Shell, bone and colored
glass, give unlimited sway to the
imagination of the designers.
Oddly shaped handles in knobs
and animal figures are especially
attractive when they top the new
printed silks.
They also go well on the umbrel-
las made in the new wide, fiat
shapes, which look more like minia-
ture sun canopies than anything
else. These umbrellas are really
designed for two-fold purpose for
either sun or rain.
1t is expected by many of the
leading designers that more and
more liberty viii be taken in the
use Of colors and odd handles as the
season advances.

PMl-On Gloves Popular

Many pull-on gloves are noted,
both with and without adjustable
straps in the case of the daytime
models, while those for evening or
very formal afternoon wear have a
short opening at the wrist and a
few pearl buttons. Some very at
tractive and yet practical gloves for
day wear or for driving a car are
made of pigskin. Both the pull-on
and buttoned-wrist style are to be
seen.

the jacket designed to complete the
costume.
Palm Beach was bit slow in the
beginning of the season to follow
this lead. Sports clothes, and SIM
pie ones at that, were worn to con-
certs and to teas.
But the influences of Paris are
now apparent everywhere. Not only
are afternoon costumes decidedly
more elaborate than earlier in the
season, but the ensemble theme is
pleasantly enlarged upon.
The shops here, and they are OF
course many and varied, report a
steady demand for accessories to
complete costume.

TWO-PIECE SUITS OF
LIGHT WOODEN CLOTH

Most of the juniors who are to
be QUILTED for the Easter holiday
will have some of the sports type
of dress, but many more will be
needing a fresh wardrobe for gen.
eral wear and for the usual round
OF children's parties.
Many of the two-piece suits are
made of new light wooden materials.
One of these is a Scotch mixture of
brown, red and beige with tufted
dots of beige appearing on the sur
face.
The coat is made hip length with
out collar, revers or buttons, but a
narrow scarf -cravat of the goods is
fastened at the back. of the neck
and drawn around to fasten in a
stiff bow over one shoulder.

Last season the introduction of
the afternoon dress brought atten-

VARIETY OF STYLES

Diversified styles in ensembles for
girls are shown in all early spring
collections. These belong to The
IA to 16-year models for both day
and evening wear.
One is a three-piece for the street,
in which the skirt and jacket are
made of beige covert cloth. The
skirt has a box pleat directly in
front with a cluster of three pleatS
on each side, and the back is
straight and plain.
A skirt of crepe in lighter shade

Getting in step with style for tie
Easter parade is the subject upper
most in feminine minds today.
After all, American women do
have the reputation of being the
best dressed in the world. They
just must live up to it,
This does not mean just the mil
lionaires, however. The amazing
thing about the American Easter
show Is the. real democracy Of chic
it parades. The little girl with a
negligible salary often does more
than her full quota to keep the style
title in this country.
This year, the $15-a-Week girl
has more luck than last. Diversity
of styles affords her a wider choice
of Easter outfits. Moreover, manu-
facturers now have perfected the
idea of inexpensive reproductions of
really good styles. Cheapness and
f~unpiness no longer are of neces-
sity synonymous.
Weeks Pay-One Wardrobe
Statistics show that a girl OF this
salary usually has, maximum, but
one weeks pay envelope to purchase
her Easter outfit. The only way
she can clothe herself at all is to
budget.
In budgeting, she should account
for a. costume, hat, shoes and
hosiery. Gloves, bag and other ac-
cesSories are desirable, but not ao-
solutely necessary. The costume,
obviously, should not cost more
than $40.
Since there are thousands Of
stores now catering to this partic-
ular little Miss America, it is posi-
ole that she can get her costume for
less than $40 thus leaving little
more for the rest Of her outfit.
Three types of available Easter
outfits are advisable from both
practical and a style point Of view
this season for the $15-a-week girl.
Ensemble Is First
First, the ensemble Of silk frock
and blue, black or brown unlined
jersey or crepella coat can be worn
with other frocks, thus making sew
eral costumes.
Second, the worsted suit with
three-quarters jacket which, worn
with a pleated silk skirt and differ
ent blouses, can be made to lead a
double life.
Third, the little jacket suit, OBJ
viously the thing that most girls
would like this year, since jackets
are the outstanding style addition
this Easter This enviabIe choice is
suggested last simply because on
p15 a week, the most desirable thing
is not always the most practical.
Tans, grays and medium blues are
excellent choices for the inexpensive
wardrobe this year. One color should
be. decided upon, however, so every
thing can be bought to blend or
match. Reds, vivid yelloWs and
orange are best left for scarfs or
other accessories.
Hat Should Be of Felt
The Easter hat for this wardrobe
should be little felt one, perhaps
in black, SO 1t can be worn with
separate dresses later. The first pair
of shoes should be patent leather,
since this looks well for street and
parties.
Pumps, one-strap or T-Strspped
sandals can be had inexpensively
this year. Beige hosiery, with more
grey than ping, is the best choice.
Fabric gloves should match hosiery.
Envelope bags are bit smarter
than pouches. New ScarfS are longer
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-03-12

ton may be made to fit the type of
suit. This is a practical arrange
ment, since most of the tailored
suits are of plain goods.
In all of the collections more of
these models are shown than any
others in the jumper class.
