The Strange Case Of The Marshalls

If one is seeking material for great novel in
which mystery, perhaps nsouble, would figure, he
might take the case OF the Marshafs. He would not
have to draw much upon his imagination for material
The facts would be largely around him. He would
need only to arrange them, but that would require
conjecture The case is the rangest one ever brought
to light in this part OF the world Indeed we can re-
call no other resembling it.
Mrs Marshall aged 72, is on trial for the muir
der of her husband, Thomas K. Marshall, somewhat
more than 10 years her junior. Mrs. Marshall, then
widow, came to Tucson nearly Is years ago. She was
a woman of wealth. education and refinement. She
became member of the faculty. of the University of
Arizona 1t in that position that she met her hus
band, who at mature period of his life had deter
mined to secure university education Marshall had
been laborer at first unskllled laborer He was
from the beginning of his acquaintance at Tucson
man of high character He commanded the respect of
all who knew him He took deep interest in public
affairs. He was of strong convictions and his
cOnscientiousness was unchallenged
The relations of teacher and pupil were gradual
ly shifted until Mr. and Mrs Marshall were married.
Notwithstanding their disparity Of years, the mar
riage was regarded by those who knew them en-
tirely suitable cne and was believed to be happy
one. Marshall gave himself up to the management of
his wifes estate which under his stewardship stead
lily increased in value.
Then, unobserved by their friends and perhaps
unconscously to themselves went on the setting of
the stage for the remarkable tragedy which took
place last April when the wife poured stream of
bullets into her husband as he awoke from sleep.
There was the usually assigned motive of jealousy.
But the whole affair in all that is known of the
details Of it, is utterly Inconsistent with the charac
ter Of both Mr.. and Mrs. Marshal, and here we
not using Character" and Reputation" interchange
ably. 1t would be the task of the novelist to trace
back to its beginning this shift of their lives which
sent them straight to the tragedy He may not be
able to do it and in his despair he may exclaim with
the Prisoner of Reading Gaol:
''For none can tell to what red hell
His signtless soul may stray

Aiding The Farmer

Among the many schemes which have been pro
ected in the past few years by politicians and others
country very few have been of any practical benefit
In fact some of them have been productive of more
harm than good.
But there is one species of government aid, at
least, which has the whole been really helpful It
is the agricultural extension service, whereby farm
and home demonstration agents. trained for their i'm
portant duties, have gone among the farmers, their
wives and daughters, and taught them how to help
themselves.
The various field and home projects and dem
onstratons carried by these faithful workers, Of
ten under the most discouraging circumstances have
materially raised the efficiency of farming and rural
home making
Especially effective work has been done with the
boys and girls clubs; work which will exert ire
mendous influence upon the rural life Of the future
This training of farm boys and girls for community
leadership perhaps the most important activity for
the betterment of agriculture today
