Jessie Costello, who was tried for
the murder of her husband and
acquitted by a jury, now tells for
the first time her own true story of
the events leading up to that trial.
In this strange true story, Jessie
Costello denies her guilt, but i'm

stranger human document has
ever come to our editorial desks.
She says she is not guilty. Thejury

she was not guilty. And yet.
All of a sudden, the impression
sweeps over you that the most
trivial, insignificant acts of your
life can be magnified into terrible
importance when some major
tragedy occurs.
This is great true story to get
hold of. You may have read this

Story Written by Herself

Costello, herself, is writing this
story. She is telling the whole
dramatic story for the first time,
and these are the inside facts.
Newspapers would call it a scoop.
For Jessie Costello, a totally un-
importantwoman, tried in a little
town in Massachusetts,, made the

in America.
But even that is not the reason
why True Story Magazine has
selected this manuscript.
The true reason is that there
are thirty million married women
in America who might have COM
mitted the same trivial follies or
been moved to the same little
kindnesses. And any one of whom
on this basis alone mightverywell

ment activities.
President Roosevelt's gold program
was not mentioned. but in discussing
banking trends Of recent weeks, the
board time and again found the ex-
PLANTATION in Federal actions. Also, it
reported an increase in currency cir
culation during the last three months.
The Reserve boards survey became
public Just as the gold buying policy
was under discussion at the White
House yesterday between President
Roosevelt and Senator Glass, Democrat
of Virginia.
S34O6 Price Is Continued.
Glass, the Senate's chief banking
authority, has been a vehement golo
standard advocate. He is regarded as
a foe of Mr.. Roosevelt's monetary plan,
but the results of the White House dis
cussion could not be ascertained.
Today the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation's offer for newly-mined
domestic gold was repeated at s34.o6 ar
ounce. ,,
This quotation represented the fourth
repetition of this peak figure, which
was reached Monday.

With Christmas business now reach

meanwhile, as hopeful the various
measures of the recovery campaign
might cushion the usual swooping post
holiday slump.
They looked upon the Civil Works
Administration with its Unemployment

possibilities in this connection.

Schall will be permitted to character

These will be considered purely per-

The general basic policy of the
nominal Republican leaders in Con-
gress will be to go along with the ad-
ministration whenever they can.
How much the decision means will
depend on how it works out in practice
on the floor of each house.

about presidential candidates. for 1896.
To talk about or 1Uork for

be foolish. The only immediate
political problem from their
standpoint is the congressional
election merit November. They de-
cided to concentrate on that in

These decisions apply merely little
common sense to the situation. After
all. that is the best politics.
Republicans do not have to go out
and seek issues or candidates. They
will have plenty of both when the time

out:
You will note that, in naany in

McCann, whose attitude was much
the same, quoted bonded liquor prices
from the Frankfort Distillery. His prices,
