WIFE ADMITS
SLEUTH DEATH;
KILLS HERSELF
Note Exone7ateS Detective
Pal of Husband Held

WILLIMANTIC Conn, Feb. IA.
"A quiet, middle-aged church
worker, who committed suicide
Wednesday has assumed responsible
ity for the murder of her husband,
William E. Jackson. county detec-
tive revealed early today when au-
thorities announced a note had been
found on Mrs. JackSon'S body.
Despite the note, Coroner Arthur
Bill said the case against Trenor
Rice. deputy sheriff now under IN
dictment for the murder, would De
continued. Mrs. Jackson's note
sought to exonerate Rice, the cor
oner said.
While Rice sat stoically IN the
county jail, Mrs. jackson carr "a
to her home a dust-smeared rifle
that already had snuffed out one
life and shot herself.
Men Were Close Friends
Thus the home in which Jackson
was accustomed to sit and ponder
out solutions to petty crimes became
the scene of the second death LII
the most battling case in the mem
orv of this mill towns Oldest resi-
dents.
Mrs. Jackson's action added the
element of suicide to drama that
already contained the essentials OF
the perfect detective story, love, re-
venge. murder and mystery.
Rice and jackson were close
friends. drawn to one another by a
common interest in the solution OF
crime. They Quarreled, allegedly
over Rice's attentions to Jackson's
22-vear-old daughter, Juanita, ana
Rice. who had been a boarder in the
Jackson home, was ordered out OF
the house.
Arrested After Funeral
One evening shortly afterWard a
bullet smashed through the kitchen
window of the county detective S
home and drilled its way into jack
sons forehead as he sat reading a
newspaper.
Soon Rice was at the scene and,
standing over the body Of his former
friend, vowed to devote his life TO
running down the murderer.
Four days later Rice was foremost
among the pallbearers who lowered
Jackson'S body into the grave.
Twenty-four hours more and ne
was under arrest, charged with the
murder.
WilIimantic police said Rice had
confessed: they told how Edward j.
Hickey, county detective, had
brought into play all the ingenuity
which enabled him to hound Gerald
Chapman to the galloWs and had
drawn out from Rice the full details
of the Staying.
Confession Denied
Connecticut settled back to await
the indictment and the trial, but
suddenly Rice announced he had an
alibi and his lawyer denied any con-
fession had been made.
Rice's relatives rallied to his aid;
talked of million dollar defense
funds and costly counsel.

COS, skilfully blended, then toasted to
develop flavor which is delightful alter.

Toasting frees Lucky Strike from i'm.

Vitellius vas so gluttonous that he
would eat the most offensive garbage.
TAis emperor Of the Romans was like
an animal in the presence Of food.
The Emperor Galba gave him an i'm
portant appointment in his younger
days as governor of province in Lower
Germany. This was above his expecta-
lions. But Galbas move was made
contemptuously, apparently to show
that he did not fear Vitellius as q rival
for the throne.
None is to be less feared" said he,
than those who care only for their
bellies. Even the enormous appetite
of Vitellius must be sa tisfied with the
plenty in that province"
The course of events decreed that
eventually after the death Of Galba.
Vitellius should become emperor. He
now embarked upon q career Of the
most vicious luxury.
Contrary to the custom Of his day,
he made three and sometimes four
hearty meals each day.
Each Of his meals was a feast. These
feasts were gained largely at the ex-
pense of his friends. He would engage
to dine with one at a certain hour, with
The extent to which they catered to
the monster Is indicated by the state
ment of Suetonius, the historian. that
no one ever entertained him at cost
of less than 100000 sesterces-that is,
in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
His brother outdid every one else In
winning the good will of Vitellius
through pampering his stomach. He
provided a succession of entertain
ments, during which no less than 1000
fish and 1000 birds were served.
Vitellius, however, outdid his brother.
This was in honor of a dish which had
been made in his honor. having such
unusual size that he called 1t THE
Shield Of Minerva"
In this enormous receptacle a con-
coction of the livers Of char-fish, the
brains Of pheasants and peacocks. the
tongues Of fiamingoes and the entrails
of lampreys was dished UP. Ships Of
war had brought the ingredients from
as far away as the Spanish Straits.
He never could eat enough and he
would eat ut the most unusual times
consuming whatever garbage came his
way. He would even snatch from the
FIRE slightly cooked flesh and cakes

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN Il. GUM.

TeAb: "All things whatsoever ye would
that men should do you. DO We even
SO to them."-Matt. viil2.
Suppose we change the text bit
Suppose We read it this way: All
things whatsoever ye would that mon
should say about you, even so do ye
also say about them" We call this the
golden rule. II we applied it 70 cur
discussions Of one another. the differ
ence in much Of what We say about
one another would be as great as the
difference between gold and pig iron.
I am not thinking of malicious SIAN
derers, nor of vicious gossipers. To
talk the golden rule to them would Go
little good. Nothing would be likely 20
stop them save the iron rule of the
law. What I am thinking about is
those little discussions of other people
in which we all often indulge, and in
which we say things not intended to
be hurtful, but which nevertheless put
the people we discuss in an unfavorab!e
light. Not that We say anything mean
or vile about them but we simply dis
cuss them in a negative way. And
what we say is said thoughtleSsly,
rather than with any vicious or ma
licious intent. In such circumstances
I think most Of us would be inclined to
follow the golden rule, II only We would
remember to do so.
Make it a personal matter. When you
discuss another. to say nothing of the
damage you may do him. remember
that he has a tongue, and that he cen
discuss you. He may have some short
comings. Have you none? Try to
imagine how you would feel to have
him say of you what you say of him.
Think this through. Then remember
always the golden rule when dis
cussing others.

Luck.

Luck.
There are many ways in which We
try to predict the future for ourselves
or pay gypsy to do it. We talk about
luck, and in spite of our progress since
the days Of superstition, we are worried
If a black cat crosses our path, or II we
walk under a ladder.
We are always on the lookout fol
lucky pennies to collect as well a
| charms Of various kinds, and we wonder
about our horoscopes. The evening q
new moon appears, one must catch the
first glimpse of 1t over the right shoul-
der and make three bows and three
! wishes.
Sometimes we try to find shapes in
the clouds or In the flames of a hot
roaring, open fire. And then we build
all sorts of castles In the air from what
We think we see.
Hunting through the grass for four
leaf clovers Is a favorite pastime Of the
luck seekers. But the five-leaf clover
isn't to be mentioned. It must be given
away at once, or else it will bring bad
luck to the finder.
Do you know the legend Of the four
leaf clover? An old song tells us that
one leaf is for hope, and one is for
faith, and one is for love. And the
fourth leaf was put in for luck.
And if we have hope and faith In our
own hearts, if we love and are strong
we will be- sure to find the place where
the four-leaf clovers grow.
Halloween Is the time for an increase
In lucky signs. Then, apple peelings
thrown over the shoulder often twist
themselves into the initials Of one IS
future husband. And isn't it odd how
often they make the initials Of some
one you know?
The Indians are great believers In
charms and lucky signs of various kinds.
Often each tribe has a separate charm
to ward off sickness. And there are
valuable stones which are possessed by
the medicine men of the tribes which
keep them from sudden death, and
which they pass on to those whom they
especially favor.
We endeavor to account for all our
good and bad fortune by signs and
charms like these. Bug if there is any,
thing to this luck business, the best
kind Of luck We make for ourselves
BY working faithfully day by day and
doing cur level best. We determine our
own successes and failures. No gypsy
reading our palms, or crystal-gazing can
change these.
Telling fortunes with cards and trying
to read our futures in the stars aren't
necessarily crimes. and such fancies at
times offer Us harmless amusement.
But We should not kid ourselves into
thinking That these things have any
real effect @on our lives.
