INCENSE JUDGE
AT PRINCETON
Reminds Wounded Bandit
of Light Sentence
Given Slayer.
YOUTH GETS IS YEARS
Only 2 to Fl Term Imposed
on Murderer of
Policeman.
Rg Times Special


PRINCETON, Ind, Feb. 5.-Judge
Claude Smith OF Gibson circuit
court spoke in an apologize tone
when he sentenced Clarence Hunt.
20, to a fifteen-year term in the
Indiana state prison for highway
robbery, calling attention to the
fact that in his court less than two
weeks before Dreyfus Rhoades, who
killed a Vincennes policeman. re-
ceived term Of only two to twen-
ty-one years.
In gun duel after the holdup
Hunt shot Hugh Wilson, manual
training instructor in the local high
school, in hand, inflicting a wound
which resulted in amputation of a
finger. In turn, the bandit was shot
in thigh by policeman.
Appears on Stretcher
Carried into court on a strstcher.
Hunt entered a plea of guilty. and
was moved to the prison in an am
oulance. He was received in the
prison hospital.
Before passing sentence. JUDGE
Smith said:
Young man, you may be wonder
ing at the severity of the sentence
which the court is about to impose
upon you, and I feel that In a wav
you are justified in thinking that
the court is rather severe in view
OF the verdict which the Jury lately
returned against Dreyfus Rhoades.
ITO say that the citizens of this
county who believe in law enforce
ment we're shocked at the verdict
OF that jury would be in my iuda-
ment expressing the sentiment of
our citizens who do believe in rid
ding this county of its unruly citi-
zens. In view Of the fact that six
or seven men testified that Rhoades
had told them that he had killed
the officer, in view of the fact that
four or five good citizens of Knox
county testified that they saw him
Kill the officer; in view of the fact
that prior to this Rhoades had adj
mittedly held up a bank in Hart
ford, Ark, and stolen some $4,000;
had been convicted of highway rob-
berry in Oklahoma and was serving
a sentence of ten to twenty-five
years when he escaped from that
prison, I am very frank to say to
you that I am at loss to know
how any jury could agree on volun-
tary granddaughter, but you must
remember that there was a Jury in
this county which tried Dreyfus
Rhoades, which was fearless enough
to bring in verdict of murder in
! the first degree.
Mistakes of Juries''
But, young man, this court is
not responsible for the mistakes Of
jury, and I am quite sure that
for the holding up of filling sta
tons and shooting off a part of the
hand Of one Of our high school
teachers the sentence I am about to
impose upon you is not too severe.
Despite his youth, Hunt has a
rather extensive criminal record.
While on parole from the Indiana
boys school, he committed a theft
and was sentenced to the penal
farm. While awaiting transfer to
the farm from the Gibson county
jail here, he escaped. During the
time he was at liberty, numerous
robberies were committed here and
in the vicinity, several victims of
which gave descriptions of the ban
dit tallying with that of Hunt.

Charlie will have none OF the IA
miliar traits of the old.
Chaplin is not disturbed bit by
the overwhelming sweep Of sound
pictures throughout the worlds
cinemas. He even is willing to
praise them, as bringing out num-
bers of splendid actors and actresses
who otherwise might not come be-
fore the movie public. But
spoken play is a spoken play, and
pantomime is pantomime, and
never the twain shall occupy the
same screen as far as he is con-
cerned.
THE comedian balanced nery-
i ously on his restless feet
Chaplin always is nervous-and
ran his hand through the now
grazing waves Of his hair.
When a character speaks" he
said, "the mental processes Of the
nearer stop with the end of his
words. They go no farther. There
fore, the mental reactions to a
spoken play are restricted. With
pantoniime the reaction is wholly
different.
"A pantomime translates thoughts
into action and suggests-and the
audience can draw whatever con-
clusion 1t likes. The conclusion it
draws is the one that will make it
the happiest, which is the purpose
of entertainment
nNE interview with Chaplin re-
~ veals at once that the screen
Chaplin merely is an exaggeration
Of the real man-an exaggeration
of the eternal paradox that puts
serious thoughts on his whimsical
lips, that tops youthful, Timber
body with gray hair, and that can
make a shrug Of the shoulder
either an expression or dark despair
or light abandon, which ever you
elect to consider it.
1t Is to this Chaplin that there
come, while he is bent on his most
ludicrous portrayls, he said, solemn
thoughts OF Napoleon and his
greatness, and what magnificent
work it would be to play the Little
Corporal for the silver screen.
Or, by contrast, it may be that
he is devising music for some
pathetic scene when, with the
perversity of genius, screaming
ly hilarious piece of action will
lntrude.
At any rate, Charlie said, he will
not let the old Charles voice be
heard in the movies, thus to destroy
an illusion each movie goer has
built up, individually, around the
character.
CHAPLIN does not know where
~ his next play is coming from,
although he suggested there might
be something in Spanish bull
tight, or perhaps in the French
gendarmerie, to give a new field
for the derby hat and big shoes.

house of foliage. As an encore, she gave a child's dance in front of a Punch and Judy show.
 Up at the back of the gallery, Allen Steyne had stood from the first moment the curtain went up. He had returned from Paris un- known to everybody.
 To him 1t was a night of wild torture and of wild delight. The artist in him reveled in it. The man loathed it. For the most part, while the program was going on, the artist carried the man away. When the calls could no longer be taken, and the manager had arl- nounced Judy's complete exhaus- tion, Alan ran down the steps like madman. He hung around the stage door. A big car was drawn up there. Alan knew whose 1t was. He was blind and mad with misery but he could not go away.
 Presently a little person came out. He crouched in the shade, and
 breathed with relief. A crowd of men swept around 1.-the boys from the Cafe Turc. Gideon's bulky | figure fought through them to Judy's side.
 Then Alan heard her voice, gay an dhoarse and half delirious. He caught a glimpse of the familiar many -colored shawl in which she was wrapped.

The Nancy Page club members were discussing their Christmas decorations.
 CT plan to use a scheme Of white and silver with just touch of red. I have one of those glistenlng eel lophane Christmas trees in white which I purchased last year. l will trim it with silver stars and balls and tinsel, using white Christmas tree lights and red candles in pew ter or glass holders as further decoration on the table" AS Fran ces finished her plan Jean broke in at once.
 "Ii haven't a cellophane tree, but I am going to have a white. one. We take a real tree, dip 1t in thin white wash, dust 1t with glitter mixed with a small amount of dry paper hangers paste. That dry paste sticks because of the mois- ture in the whitewash and gives the effect of heavy. dense snow flakes. I think we will trim the tree with silver and with tiny blue Christmas tree lights.
 Dolly gave her plan The chil- dren love tree with all sort or bright colors on it. so We are using the real Christmas tree and trim ming it with all the gay ornaments which we have left over from last year. In addition We will use some Of the Kindergarten chains of pa- per and some gilded nuts. or course the Christmas angel will top the tree as it always has"

Next came Lois. We are going to use a green tree. a real one. We plan to trim it with strings of snowy popcorn, with garlands of cranberries strung on thread, with tiny Christmas cakes and with animal cookies. Some of these will be dipped in colored sugar and will be dusted with white grant, lated sugar. We will have the Christmas star at the tip of our tree. But by and large, our tree will be an edible one"
