 Echoes of the locally well known Neil Heard criminal libel case were heard this afternoon when MT. Cros- on attempted to have admitted as evidence in the case the judgment against Heard after his conviction in the suit brought against him by Mayor I. Goldstein. The Examiner allowed the judgment to be admit ted for Identification and informa- tion of the Board but rejected it as evidence in the case, upholding the objection of Government Attorney F. A. Eagen that it was not material Croson held it had bearing because Heard was Secretary of the miners union at the time and as such print ed the Alaska Labor Dispatch in which the article which resulted in the conviction appeared. Eagen and Senator Henry Roden both con- tended the paper was Heard's pri- vate enterprise and had nothing to do with the Union.

Child Prodigies Grow
Duller With Age

Evanston, Ill.-(ACPs-Child
prodigies grow duller as they grow
older. E
That is the conclusion of Prof.
Paul A. Witty of the Northwestern
University department of psycholo-
gy, who has just completed a study
of the personal Histories of fifty
child geniuses of ten years ago.
In most cases prodigies grew up
into a conventional pattern with no
qualifications or desire for leader
ship, Prof. Witty reported. Each Of
the fifty subjects of the survey
rated intelligence quotients Of 140
plus in 1924-25. Since then their
life histories have been carefully
observed.
Points in their favor were: their
educational attainments continued
higher than of their fellows. Their
physical growth and vigor was
superior. They rated a little higher
in character tests. "
Despite these facts, Prof. Witty
told a convention of psychologists,
there appears to be little evidence
that creative intelligence is being
developed or displayed in extraor-
binary degree"
Homes and schools that are too
standardized are at fault. he said:

GASTONIA MAN is GUILTY
OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER

A CASTOR county jury last week
convicted Raymond Edwards, 90
year-old textile worker, of first de-
gree murder for the axe-killing of
his young wife, Mrs. Fannie Burrell
Edwards.
The jury deliberated three hours.
Although directed by Judge T. B.
Finley to return their verdict at
once. The verdict carried a manda-
tory death sentence.
The defense did not offer any tes-
timony, but Edwards attorney, Ern-
est R. Warren, commended in his ar
gument to the jury that Edwards
was drunk when he committed the
crime, and therefore could not have
premeditated the murder. He asked
for second degree verdict.
The State; on the other hand, Of
fered several witnesses who testified
that they saw the defendant a short
while before the crime and that he
was not drunk Solicitor John c..
Carpenter pressed for a first degree
murder conviction.
A confession which officers said
Edwards made a few days after his
arrest was read to the jury. In the
confession Edwards said he killed
his wife after she: struck him with a
coal shovel in a violet domestic ar
gument He said he was drunk and
did not know what he was doing.

He looked for the constable's car
bine. It was nowhere in sight. The
low drift behind which Dillon had
fallen gave Garth enough cover to
crawl out beside the body. But the
carbine was not under its owner.
Garth pulled the snowshoes from
the feet of the dead man. On the heel
of one web he perched the consta-
ble's cap. He reached out sideways
and lifted the cap so that it peeped
above the top of the drift. The cap
Tipped back off the snowshoe, pierre
ed through by a bullet from the
scrub beside the fire.
At the roar of the shot, Garth
bobed up, three feet to the left, to
look for the missing carbine. It lay
half buried in the snow, a long 10
feet away. When shot, Dillon must
have flung out his hands as he pitch
ed over backwards In the midst of
the convulsive jerk, death had loos-
ened his grip on the carbine.
Huxby had proved he could shoot
a rifle with deadly accuracy, and his
men were nearly as expert. To make
a dash for the carbine would be
equivalent to committing suicide. To
lie quiet would give the killers time
to realize there was no rifle waiting
to meet their attack. The fourth man
might already be circling to creep in
from the rear.

Garth gripped hands with him.

He went into a bunkroom to put

towards him. The girl turned quick
