persons believe happen, that is the
person on trial becomes an enemy
of the prosecutor. Kinkead became
very friendly with my grandfather.
The diary referred to in the article
in the Herald was given by Kinkead
to my grandfather, and we have it
in our possession today, with it
showing the entry of the $1425 he
is supposed to have found in the
chest, after he had struck down
Sheets. The story of the escape of
Kinkead, his subsequent retiring to
the cave mentioned, his being hunt
ed by the posses, his later escape
down the Ohio river to Kentucky,
and his finally going to western
state and dying there, are all tales
often retold in the knowledge box
and published in the local papers.
AS matter of fact only part of
the published story is correct. AS
l stated, Kinkead became friendly
with my grandfather, during and
after the trial After Kinkead had
escaped and had arrived at the west
ern state where he wanted to stop.
he wrote a letter to my grandfathe;.
in which he told in detail all the
events subsequent to his being taken
back to the Jail to be held for sem
tence After these many years
feel that no harm will be done il
relate what happened. However.
inasmuch as there are yet residing
in our county several persons who
are descendants of those mentioned
in the letter, l shall mention no
names, though l am sure that these
persons will recall the events | men
ton.
Here is what happened, as writ
ten by Kinkead himself. After the
jury brought in its verdict of gull
ty'' and Kinkead knew the sentence
that would have to be imposed by
the Judge, he sent for a certain
friend who was in town, and arrang-
ed with him for his escape from
jail, and his subsequent movements
from town. This friend arranged
for Kinkead to have the two knives,
which Kinkead fixed so as to make
it appear he had used them in saw
ing out Kinkead never sawed out
of our Jail. When night came he
was let out of the Jail and went to
the house of friend here in town,
where arrangements had been made
to secrete him for time. He staid
at this house, which is standing and
occupied today, the remainder OF
that night and the next day. Horses
had been secured and the next
night Kinkead left town, headed up
the river, until he came to where he
could get aboard a train, which he
did, money having been provided
him, and he travelled to the west,

CORRECT STATEMENTS ABOUT

Dear Sir:-I read the article in the
! issue of the McConnelsville Herald
of July 8, by Paul Heron, headed
'Dr. Trout Death Recalls Murder
| Trial of 1866" and feel that the
| time has come to correct some state
ments that have been published
! from time to time ever since the es-
cape of julius KiIkead from our
jail while he was held there pend
| ing sentence.
AS stated in the article mention
ed, my grandfather, E. M. Stanbery,
was the prosecuting attorney for
Morgan county at the time of the
murder, and as such conducted the
case for the state.
A very full detailed account of
the trial was published in the local
papers at the time of the trial, and
since that time, as some event re-
called this murder of Adam Sheets,
parts of the original account of the
trial have been republished in the
county newspapers.
1t is very likely that many per-
sons in the county have in their
scrap books, either the full account
as originally published, or excerpts
from it as they appeared later. NY

Vegetable Cookery .

To retain the fresh full flavor
and color of the vegetables through
the cooking process necessitates3
cooking them only until tender.
The first rule then, for perfect re-
suits is to cook vegetables for as,
short time as possible.
You may shorten the cooking Pc
riod in several ways by preparing
vegetables in the form in which
they will become tender in the
shortest time. Have the water
boiling when the vegetables are
added, and maintain the tempera-
ture throughout the cooking period.
Strong favored vegetables such
as caulif1ower, cabbage, brussels
sprouts, and onions, have the best
flavor when cooked in large guam
tites of water. The water is drain
ed off before serving, and if the
cooking is done quickly, there is
little loss of nutritive value. Guam
titles of water used for cooking
these vegetables prevent the "gray-
ness" or pinkish cast they develop
from prolonged cooking with small
amounts or water.
Cooked vegetables at their best
are tender, but never mushy. They
should retain as much of their or
iginal texture as possible, crispness
being a desirable characteristic.
Long-cooked cabbage, for example,
not only has strong odor and
flavor, but becomes soft and Shiny
in texture. String beans become
limp and lifeless and peas develop
an unpleasant starchy texture un-
der the same conditions.
Much is being done nowadays, to-
promote the use Of low tempera-
ture cooking of vegetables with q
very small quantity of water, or
none at all. Vegetables which cook
most perfectly with little water are
peas, carrots, beets, and green
beans. Spinach is always cooked
without water. The liquid remain
ing on it after washing is enough
to steam the vegetable thoroughly
because spinach, you know, is don$
when it is just wilted. lb
Choose combination having va,
riety in form, color, favor, and texl
ture. For instance, don't have All
boiled vegetables, or all green ones
or don't combine several having the
same shape. :.
Good combinations for --egetaHle.

THE UNICAMERAL LEGISLATURE

If a bill introduced in Congress by Delegate An thony J. Dimond is approved voters of Alaska will have opportunity at years election decide whether they want uncameral, or one house, Leg islature t~ .
 The question of a single house of the Legislature is not new in the Territory. It has been intro duced in the legislative sessions here on numerous occasions and at the recent session measure to that end passed by the House but was killed in the Senate
 Major argument in favor of the proposal was that under the present twohouse system 16 members of the House and eight the Senate the upper house held too strong a whip hand It presented that with but eight votes in the Senate and majority five needed to pass measure Senator could hold the deciding vote all matters of legislation coming up In other words the House might pass bill unani- mousy, all Is members voting for it, but division four and four vote in the Senate could defeat it. House members naturally arg/,d based on several actions where the Senate killed measures which had been passed by top heavy majorities in the House that the House was hamstrung no matter how many of its members might desire piece of legislation.
 They pointed for example to the uncameral bill itself which was given a big vote in the House only to go down to sudden defeat in the Senate
 In the Senate here, as well in the States where similar legislation has been proposed, it has been ar gued that two houses provide the necessary balance guards against faulty perhaps nasty passage important measures
 There is degree of merit to both arguments But they not arguments which should be de- cded by the legislative body should be- as Dele gate Dmonds bill proposes, question for the voters to decide. If Congress agrees, Alaskans may have chance to do just that in 1s38
