MOTHERS TELL OF CAMP
BENEFITS IN BROADCAST
Greatest Surprise Was the De-
velopment of Their
Children.

The story Of what two weeks in
camp really mean to children was told
yesterday in talk by two women over
WJSV on the Neighbors, Inc, pro-
gram. The women, each with four
children. enjoyed two weeks at Camp
Good viii, maintained last Summer
on the Chopawamsic Camp site by the
Family Service Association.
1t was the first time either of the
mothers had been to camp and one
OF them had not had a vacation in
IL years. To Hugh Conover they said
their greatest surprise was the devel-
opment of their children in camp life.
physically and in learning new things
that will make the Winter hours
shorter:
William H. Savin, director of the
association, told of the new idea in
camping developed at Chopawamsic.
He pointed out that private CAMPS
during the last few years have been
developing camping to high level of
experience for the children, teaching
them things they might not otherwise
acquire. Now, he said. welfare camps
are pursuing the same program.

NATIONS TOBACCO
GOES TO MARKET
Thousands of Pounds Being
Sold Throughout South.
Prices Little Changed.

By the Associated Press
The Nations tobacco crop is mov-
ing TO market on the loose?leaf auc-
tion floors of the Carolinas to provide
the billions of cigarettes Americans
and others will smoke two years
hence.
Thousands of pounds of the golden
weed" are being sold daily to the tune
Of auctioneers' incoherent mumbling.
The big tobacco companies are buy
ing it to store in hogheads in ware
houses where the brown leaf will
'sweat" for two years, when it will
be ready for manufacture.
Exporters are buying, too TO send
1t abroad
Good Portion Sold.
A good portion of the crop of more
than one billion pounds has been sold.
Flue-cured leaf, a principal cigarette
type goes on sale first in Georgia,
where auction markets opened July
20 and closed August 81.
South Carolina markets opened
August 10 and are near the end of
their selling days, but the big North
Carolina markets have just started
to open, and those in Virginia are
Just getting ready to open.
Only the eastern belt markets in
North Carolina, the principal pro-
ducer of flue-cured leaf, are now
open. but so-called middle belt mar
kets start auctions September Is with
old belt markets opening September
80.
North Carolina, as we'll as Vir-
einia markets, are in the middle and
old belts.
Burley Market Sales.
The big hurley markets of Vir-
einia, Kentucky and Tennessee start
sales December g. This is another
important type leaf in the manufac-
ture of cigarettes, tobacco's principal
product.
These are the principal types sold
at auction, a system long followed in
disposing of tobacco. Buying of to-
bacco for other products made from
the leaf is not on as gigantic scale,
and much of it, especially for cigars,
Is imported.
There are about 140 loose leaf mar
kets in all.
Although this years crop is one of
the largest in years, Charles z. Gage.
Agriculture Department economist,
said there is little difference between
the 1887 and 1886 price.

1T came to me as great surprise, Mr..
Defoe, when you accepted the brief, he men
toned as they ate. Il told our client in fact,
that she was asking for the impossible, when
she wanted your services.
Il wonder why she so particularly wanted
me- Defoe remarked absent mindedly he
was deep mentally in what mattered most.
finding way to secure verdict IN her favor.
We'll, of course, there can only be one
answer to that question, my dear SIT, the
solicitor said Your record in criminal de-
fense is notorious, unsurpassed. People with
out means, like our client, getting legal aid for
nothing expect that to be of the best. One
can't blame them, suppose
ANY more than one can blame our client
very much - | speak, of course, quite apart
from the legal aspect -" Defoe murmured
It if she did murder that Italian. From what
we know, he was pestential beast, wonder
how she came by such life.
Born to it, no doubt. Her police records,
mostly small offences, suggest that. She would
tell me nothing whatever about herself -
nothing to help. She proved just as obstinate
over what happened on the night of the crime.
She was for pleading guilty at first, convinced
there was no help"
Which doesn't necessarily point to real
guilt Defoe pondered. "On the contrary,
he added, she's probably innocent enough.
Perhaps shielding somebody else - lover.
Women of that type have strange impulses
1T would have been better if you had seen
and talked with her yourself, of course" the
solicitor said But it was not possible for you
to get here till this morning. Maybe you d like
me to arrange an interview after the adjourn
ment this afternoon -
mo, no." Defoe intervened, shaking his
head Il don't see how it would help. If she's
so obstinate with you, she'd probably be just

in the room where this woman lodged, when
arrested You will have it proved to you that
certain of those notes can definitely be traced
as having earlier been in the man Bartorellis
possession. :.
Defoe became vaguely aware that the
woman in the dock had turned her eyes his
way, and was looking steadily at him. 1t was
really the first time he had seen her full-faced;
and even now it was only with detached,
professional interest. She fulfilled, to nicely.
the mental picture he had made OF her when
he had accepted this brief not for profit but
out of sheer humanity.
She looked exactly what she was in woman
hood. The brazen image of the street-corner,
and perhaps doing we'll enough yit. The hard
and bitter face made up as for dance -
even with Death. The eyes, as those of bird
of prey, with a cold glitter. The glitter OF
them, as they met his, awakened him from
Iethargy. He found himself quickened into
greater and more personal interest by the
wild appeal in them - frantic - hastenng.
Her pompous little solicitor, seated behind
him, plucked at his sleeve to attract his
attention deferentially, while the first of the
witnesses was being called. Defoe, profes-
sionally alert now, thrust himself into Wh1s-
pered discussion on the conduct of cross
examination.
He was as yet undecided about that himself.
The solicitor and he both recognized serious
disadvantage in having practically no evl-
dence in their clients favor
Defoe, who was of quiet-voiced and per
suasively soothing type at Cross-examlnatlon,
seemed to make very few points against the
witnesses against her by the time the lunch
adjournment was reached. He went out of the
court with the pompous little solicitor, whom
he oined in a brief snack. The latter was
frankly impressed by association with Defoe.

as oysterlke with me. think our only hope
is the one | suggested before - scrape as
much mud as we can from my learned friends
very muddy witnesses. So, if you don't mind
we'll 60 back to court. | want to send an
urgent telegram to London I've an idea -
The afternoon was warm, and the anti
Quated court not too we'll ventilated Even
that electric atmosphere prevalent at murder
trial seemed less marked than usual. The aC-
cused woman in the dock sat with fatallstiC
impassiveness But at times, a sudden fearful
palor made the makeup look crude and glar
ing on her hard, bitter face.
Corpulent counsel for the prosecution ex-
tracted all he required from each witness en-
tering the box, speaking pithily and without
the vehemenCe of his earlier address to the
court When Defoe rose to his feet to cross
examine, his voice was Winningly soft, and his
words came with the slowness of careful
choice Yet, each fresh question followed each
fresh answer sharply as if it had been long
prepared and lying in wait.
1t began to be realized by the court, so that
even corpulent counsel for the prosecution
began to appear troubled, that the contra
dictory and evasive answers Defoe was ex-
tracing were rapidly disCrediting his oppo
nent's witnesses, and certainly reducing to
very little the value of their evidence as in
eliminating the prisoner There was definite
pause presently, while prosecuting counsel
and his Junior conferred in whispers.
During that wait Defoe received something
from the pompous little solicitor behind. :
a telegram, which he opened eagerly and read
with a smile, during which time fresh witness
was being sworn.
This witness was small man, with a nose
that spread rather at the nostrlls He had IN
fact been in the box before the luncheon inter
val, and prosecution counsel was now explain
ing to the judge why he had been recalled as
the most vital witness as to the prisoners
guilt There was some slight argument, the
Judge eventually deferring to DefOe, who said
reassuringly:
I've not the slightest objection. my lord.
My learned friend is giving me opportunity to
cross examine, and put to the witness ques-
ton or two which have occurred to me since
he was last in the box"
The murky atmosphere was stirred afresh,
general interest Tightening suddenly. Pros
ecuting counsel, emphasizing afresh the i'm
portance of the witness, in connection with
what had actually happened on the night OF
the murder, now put series of questions to
him, obviously to clear up any doubts left by
his earlier evidence.
His answers, jerky and blunt, were those OF
a man we'll aware that everything IN this case
centered now on him. The same fact was
obviously weighing with the woman in the
dock She was leaning forward; all her earlier
impassveness dropped away from her. She
was staring at him, while her strained hearing
followed his words. The glitter in her eyes had
become burning fire Her face, apart from
the patches of makeup, was CHASTITY IN hue

and far away into the past.
A past of youth, gay with summer sunshine,
healthy with the wine of the winds on southern
Downs, bringing the scents of farmlands to
the nostrils All the warmth and excitement
and ardor of adolescence packed into its days,
whispering through its nights. Like the clols-
tiers of an old and buried religion. those memo
RES
Buried, but still alive Very much. For now,
twenty-odd years later, the grave was about
to be reopened and Mary would appear be-
fore him again presently in the flesh That gay
and adorable Mary, who had belonged to the
Downs and the winds and the farm fragrance
and all the ardor of adolescence.
Defoe plucked with impatient and disturb
ing fingers at the black silk of his robe. Purely
to protect his professional reputation, and
shepherd his straying thoughts sharply back
into their proper fold. Which concerned the
sordid murder case now being laboriously out
lined by corpulent and fiery-faced counsel for
the prosecution.
To concentrate more definitely on his duty,
Defoe lifted his gaze from the scattered
papers before him, and studied the woman
between Warders and wardress in the big dock.
She looked like lost waif in it; and lost she
was, unless Defoe could conjure out of the
darkness of her defense some scintilla of evil
dence on which to sway the jury in her favor.
I'VE hope, by the evidence we shall put
before you" corpulent counsel was on the
point of rounding off his address to the court,
ito convince you without any shadow of
doubt that this woman, known as Spanish Sal
and other aliases notorious member of the
underworld and admitted even by herself, to
have long been in intimate association with
the murdered man, Antonio Bartorelh, was
not only with him on the night the crime was
committed, but herself committed it.
"As for her motive, do not think we can
possibly fail to establish that of robbery. A
