FRANK v. DUPONT SELLS
COOK POINT ESTATE

Frank V. dupont, of Wilmington.
has sold his Cooks Point estate to
w. w. Groves, of Hills Point, Md.
The transfer involves over 1000 acres
OF farm and marshland bordering on
the Choptank river and the Chesa-
peake Bay.
Cooks Point was originally di-
vided into six farms, known for
their fertility and their splendid To-
cation in one of the largest seafOOd
sections of Maryland. The best
known of these places was THE
MOors." Other tracts were owned
by NJ. E. Sturgeon, William Frazier,
william H. Spedden. John E. Graves
and L. N. Graves. Wild ducks and
geese, muskrats and all kinds Of
native wild life are found in this
section. The new owner being an
ardent sportsman, expects to set
aside part of it for game preserve.
In the waters. which border its
shores are fish, oysters and crabs.
Mr.. Groves home adjoins the new
ly acquired land. Here he has a
large flying field and large plane
which he uses for business purposes
flying frequently to Pittsburgh and
New York.
When asked his plans for the
coming season, he replied that he
hoped to raise corn and tomatoes
on part of Cooks Point and stock
the remainder with wild fowl. The
consideration in detail was not dis
closed.

who braved the driving rain storm
to be present. The news reel, the
travel talk and a specially picture
shown In colors, with the feature
Life Begins at Forty" starring

with his subject, having recently
visited Palestine. He has given this
talk before in town, but those who
have heard him, expresse their de-
sire to do so again, which is

the fine imposed by the court.
Should any defect be disclosed in
the new State act. as drawn in the
courts and it be found to be prac-
tically imperative, the State Liquor
Commission will revert to the prac-
tiee Of turning seized cars, evidence
and liquor and prisoners over to the
Federal government for prOsecu-
tiOn, as the revenue act on automO-
bile forfeiture is very strict and the
loss Of the automobile makes a very
severe penalty.
The intent of the law is to pro-

biles found being used in the boot
Logging business, regardless of the
presence of a lien on the car or re-
gardless Of the fact that the owner
is not operating the automobile
The cars so seized would be turned
over to the court and disposed at the
discretion of the court. The courts
would probably order the sale of the
machines to the highest bidder and
the funds turned into the State.

ture of 22-months-Old Joan Beck
Hall, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
of Second and Walnut streets, North

pose is so natural for a healthy, rO-
bust child and the winning smile,
brings thrill to parents, both
young and old who look at the pic
ture which is framed and under
glass. It hangs on the outside wall
of the south window of the store and
is worthy of inspection. A beautiful

MORGAN TOPAY
PENALTY TODAY
rContiAned from FirA Paael

LCOHfiHned from F1Sf Pd0el
The convicted man Is married and
has two sons. his family living in a
small town on Long Island and he
has written to them on several Oc-
easiOns. It is not known whether
they will claim his body. If not, he
will be buried in POtters field at the
old Kent County AlmshOuse.
Morgan is in a very repentant
mood and spends most of his time
reading the Bible and singing
hymns. He has been visited daily by
the Rev. G. A. Burslem of the Dover
Presbyterian Church. He has re-
quested that friends sing three fa-
vorite hymns for him on the day Of
the execution.
The prisoner has not been allow
ed to have visitors, although several
interested IN him and in the case
have tried to see him.
Morgan, who feels that he deser-
we'd the penalty for the crimes he
has committed. has gained strength
in the belief that he is forgiven in
the eyes of God and hopes that
others who would follow in his
footsteps will be warned by the
penalty he is paying for his crimes.
This will be the first hanging in
Kent county since 1891, when Sher-
in Amos Cole executed three ne
groes during that year in the old
Kent county Jail yard. The last man
from Kent county to be sentenced
tO death was Theodore Rust, ne
gro who was charged with commit
ting rape on a white woman near
Woodside. The execution. after sew
erai attempts to commute the SEN
tence to life Imprisonment, took
