Of Geesman today, expressed the
opinion that the bullet that killed
him was fired from a gun placed
against Geesman's head immediate
ly between the eyes. 1t is the con-
dition of the dead mans head which
leads to this conclusion, said Sharp.
The inside of Geesman's head was
torn and Jared as if an explosion
had occurred inside the skull. This
could have been possible II the gun
was pressed against the mans head
so tightly that no powder burns
could be seen. said Sharp. One OF
Geesman's companions may have
fired the gun because the youth did
not carry out instructions in the hi
jacking raid, he said.
Sharp also said, however. that the
bullet may have been fired from in
side the house. A bullet hole in
the screen door was exactly in line
with the position of the dead man,
according to the investigator.
He expressed the opinion that
Geesman was shot on the spot where
his body was found. He could not
have been placed there after being
killed without leaving some trace,
and no such trace was found.
Another outgrowIn of the hijack-
ing raid and shooting was the raid
night by Rodney Clarke
and Harold Gillett on an alleged
establishment in inland.
when Joe Okeith, 35, and Jay War

Of possession of liquor. About 10

she was Garrison'S companion.
Garrison was slightly intoxicated,
he said, and carried a package
which resembled a bottle.
Not far from Miss Bradshaw's bo-

Garrison's companion, Collins
added, at first refused to leave the

stick around a couple of hours"
Police then were informed by Gar

A FORGOTTEN DUEL

Every American schoolboy has been
taught that George Washington, dur
ing the eight years of the Revolution,
had other enemies than the English to
fight. More than once jealous gener-
ais sought to GUST him and take his
place. One of these attempts, the
Conway conspiracy, is referred to in
all American history books; but his
torians have passed over the story of
the duel it caused between Generals
John Cadwalader and Thomas Con-
way. Now, as we near the celebration
next year of the two hundredth ami
versary of George Washington's birth,
all these personal issues pertaining
to his life take on new interest, and
this incident of Conway's duel needs
to be recalled.
We are informed by the United
States George Washington Bicenten-
NAL Commission that General Cad
walader so holly resented General
Conway's surreptitious move against
the COMMANDMENTS Chief that he chal-
lenged Conway to a duel. Probably
the only record of what actually took
place between the two generals was
set down many years after the event
by Alexander Garden, an officer in the
Continental Army and aid-de-camp to
General Nathaniel Greene.
AS described by Garden, General
Cadwalader arrived at the appointed
rendezvous accompanied by General
Dickinson as his second, while Con-
ways attendant was Colonel Morgan.
1t was agreed by the seconds that on
the word being given, the principals
might fire at their own time, either
off hand or with deliberate aim.
The parties having taken their po-
sitions and the word being given, Con-
way Immediately raised his pistol,
fired-and missed. General Cadwal-
ader was about to fire when a strong
gust of wind disturbed his aim, and
he lowered his weapon.
"Why not fire, General Cadwala-
der?" Conway tainted him.
eve came here not to trifle," Gen.
eral Cadwalader retorted, "When the
wind has passed, you will find me act
ing my part"
"You shall have every chance of
performing, it WE'LL" Conway jeered,
and at once turned himself full face
to his adversary.
General Cadwalader fired, and Con-
way fell forward on his face, the bull

The object of this suit is to procureS

or reason, abandoned and deserted
her, and has declared his intention to
live with her no longer, and such
abandonment has continued uninter-
ruptedly for at least three years and
is deliberate and final, and the sepa-
ration of the parties beyond any reas-
enable expectation of reconciliation.
8, That on the Bird day of Decem-
Der, 1929, a decree of divorce a mensa
ct thoro was granted to your oratrix
by this Honorable Court as against
the said Charles W. Alderman, the

Court, since which time your oratrlx
has neither seen nor heard directly

Experts Lay Down Rules
for Correct Breathing

If you are curious as to whether or
not you breathe correctly. unbuckle
your belt and slip it up "a few inches,
halfway between waistline and bust
line. Exhale and pull your belt in as
tight as you can until you're empty
as a pricked balloon. Now, take a
whopper Of breath and see how
many notches you can expand. 1t is
here that chest expansion should be
measured, instead of under the arm
pits. as your old gym teacher believed.
Ordinarily breathing should be I'M
conscious" says DR.. Eugene Lyman
Fisk, in Golfers Weekly, but every
day deep-breathing exercises should be
employed. People who are shut in all
day may partly compensate for the
evils of indoor living by stepping out
Of doors and taking dozen deep
breaths whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself"
"Do your heavy breathing in the
morning when you first wake up" says
Helen Hayes. "Repeat it whenever
you feel fatigue or nervousness creep
ing over you. 1t will also cure the
insomnia that may attack you at
night"
Men as rule breathe more deeply
than women. A mans diaphragm is
placed lower than woman's, which
gives his chest more room; and his
more active habits of life have made
this muscle stronger. Women, with a
few glowing exceptions such as ath-
letes, actresses and singers, are shall
low breathers. In the hustle and bus
tie of life in general, they are apt to
neglect their diaphragmS
