CHAPTER XIII
THE BOMBSHELL
None of us was prepared, when
we took our places in Judge Saw
yer's court the next morning, Tor
the astounding climax Of the trial
of Janice Fowler. But hardly had
we sat down when the County
Prosecutor and the defense courl'
sci entered together, a most I'M
usual procedure. And John Cropsy
was with them.
Something's up" whispered
Grady Williamson, and sat up
straight in his chair.
Evans, as he marched in, was
unsmiling, but in his eyes there
glowed a light of triumph.
The crowd, sensing something
out of the ordinary in the at
mosphere, craned intently forward.
I turned to the Express office
boy and ordered him to grab the
nearest telephone and get the Of
flee on the line. and don't let
'em get off. Tell Calhoun to send
over a couple of men to stand by
for a verdict. And don't let go
of the phone till you're relieved
by someone from the office. Tell
Calhoun something's gonna crack. "
The boy darted off. Terrell and
Sewer conferred in a low tone,
and Grady Williamson, smelling a
big story about to break for
the opposition, cursed softly and
waited.
Janice Fowler"
Stanley Evans again bent over
her, helped her to rise. whispered
something that brought a flash
ing smile to her face. When she
was seated in the witness chair he
turned to face Judge Sawyer.
IF the court please, I should like
the privilege of interrupting the
testimony of the defendant at a
certain point to call Lieutenant
Cropsy to the stand. Lieutenant
Cropsy has been Subpoenaed by
the defense, the state having fin.
ished with him. We may find 1t
necessary to recall Miss Fowler to
the stand afterward. and we
may not"
And now. having cleared the
stage for the final act, Evans
started.

before adjournment, I believe, was

The office boys who were run

already had flashed the offices by

presses would be rolling out the
headlines: Janice Fowler Takes

papers to read the stereotyped
phrases Of a head and bulletin
kept standing for this very emery
ency.
There wouldn't be time for
much more testimony today, I
noted with a glance at the clock,
and took some satisfaction in re-
minding Grady Williamson.
Nothing hot for the P. o. In
the morning, Grady, unless Evans
pulls a quick surprise"
But Evans didn't. He took his
time and measured each question
carefully and encouraged slow, de-
liberate replies, so that the effect
of Janice Fowler'S clear pleasant
voice would not be lost on the
jury. Her name occupation

Miss Fowler, will you tell the jury

Sawyer, a stickler for promptness,
frowned at the clock and ordered
adjournment.
On the way out I fingered in
the doorway until Miles and his
assistants filed out. The prosecu-
tors nod, when confronted him,
was curt.
"How do you feel, Francis?" I
asked.
He did not answer at once but
strobe along in moody silence.

@. Don't you have trouble with peo-
pie who have just settled in New York
when you quote them your prices for
moving on October First? Don't some
of them faint?
A. You see, we have painless way
of doing it. We tell them it will cost
two or three or four cents a cubic
foot. That sounds reasonable. Not
many in a thousand can figure cubic
feet and no woman will bother. BY
the time they discover it is going to

A. Those bohemians in the Village.
They move and if they lose couple

ever complain?
A. What can they do? All New York
moves the last week in September.
That's what sends the prices ur The
rest of the year things are slow: we
have to make ours while the making

@. Why does the town move in a
vast rush on October first? I've often
wondered by leases weren't staggered
so that some would move one month,
some another.
A. New Workers are like that Any
one can sit down and do a little fig
uring and see that if he puts his fur
niture in storage and takes it out
again about the middle of Novem. er,
say, he can save enough on his new
apartment lease to pay for the stor-
age, the extra moving, his hotel bill

Sept. 10, 1866. He was Samuel Will
son, of Troy. N Y. During the war of
1912, which he was inspector of meats
for the Army, meat barrels he approx
ed and stamped U. S., were jocularly re
ferred to as Uncle Sans. Large pur-
chases passed through his hands, and
he was kidded locally about the ex-
tent of his possessions. Jokes about
him got into the Troy newspapers,
were clipped and printed by other edi-
tors, and Uncle Sam Wilson acquired
a national reputation. Cartoonists,
notably Thomas Mast, made Uncle
Sam a national symbol, patterning his
tall figure after the Uncle Jonathan

Ironically, Key, who was not mu-

EXPLAINS TROUBLE

Marshall, Sept. 13.-Have you ever
tried to smoke a cigar that wouldn't
stay lit unless you kept putting furi-
ously? as
And as you continually struck mat
ches to relight it, have you wondered
whether you were smoking tobacco
or matches?
If so, that was probably because
the tobacco didn't receive the right
kind of fertilizer when it was grow
ing, said K. A. Haney, assistant farm
agent of the State College extension
service.
When muriate of potash is applied
to the soil, he said, it supplies the to-
bacco plants with chlorine that tends
to hinder the burning of the leaves
when they are smoked.
Farmers here are urged to use sui
phate of potash, as this plant food in
the fertilizer mixture helps produce
rich, full, fine-textured leaves with
good smoking qualities.

in Madison County this year has man.

potash hunger" or "dogearning,
Haney pointed out.
In the future, he believes, farmers
of the Burley tobacco section should
add enough sulphate of potash to
their fertilizer to run the percentage
of potash up to Is to 20 instead of the
3 to 5 per cent that has been used in
most cases heretofore.
