THE MAN WHO CAME TO LIFE
Continued from pogs six

Lloyd Just picked up and left town.
That was like Beebe. to leave in the
middle of things. Soon after Lloyd
left, Daphne accepted Jameson's
proposal He had little part-time
farm and was keeping books in her
fathers store - the towns only de-
partment store - and he knew the
responsibility it would put on him to
marry Daphne.
He'd have to make good now. And
he would have done so, but for Beth
Beebe, Lloyd's sister, who worked at
the store, in dry goods. She was slender
and good looking like all the Beebes.
Jameson had gone out with her in
casual way. She was fun on date, but
too impulsive. too apt to dare man
to go swimming on a December mid
rfght or indulge in other whims too
wild for conservative such as he. The
last time he went with her she dared
him to elope, and while he knew she
did it just because she knew he
wouldn't, he didn't feel comfortable
around her, pretty as she was.
The engagement of Jameson and
Evening star., 1941-01-19

Daphne was announced at party at
the big Turner house, and Jameson
was too excited to notice that Beth
didn't come to work for three days.
''I'll run you home" she said to
Jameson, the first afternoon upon re-
turning to work.
"Well, /"
81 mean to the Turner place" Beth
said. 81 want to see Daphne myself
for a minute"
6UT when he was in the car, she
drove straight through town. She had
rattly little coupe, but it was sturdy
and capable of speed. 1t was making
the best speed she could get out of it.
where are you going, Beth?"
"I've got to talk to you," she said.
She made the turn ahead onto the
canyon road, and the back end of the
car made sickening skid, tires squeal
ing. "You can't do this to us. You
can't marry Daphne Turner"
Jameson began to be bit afraid.
He calculated the chances of trying to
stop the car, and thought better of it.

He said, Il don't know what you

Daphne had a quarrel with Lloyd
over his drinking. She's just taking
you on the rebound. She looks down
on you. So does her father. You'll

''Us?" he asked. mystified. There's
nothing between us"
AND then she got hysterical. Jameson
became more afraid She had built up
a fantastic fiction, which would have
been funny except for what he now
saw in her. Watching her Mysteries as
she drove her car wildly along the
twisting canyon road. he remembered
the tales about the Beebes, and he
knew that this girl, pretty as she was,
wasn't normal. The remainder of that
ride was nightmare When the car
failed to make turn and plunged
through the guard rail, Jameson re-
membered an instant when he was
struggling with the door handle. The
car was in space over the bank, and
the river was below. When he woke up
in the hospital they told him Beth's
body had been in the car when it was
dragged from the river.
1t was incredible that he should be
tried in court for the murder of Beth
Beebe, that the case should be one of
those the newspapers call "An Amer
ican Tragedy" The Beebes testified
how Beth was hysterical and beside
herself for three days after the an
nouncement of Jameson's engagement
to Daphne. 1t might be expected that
Horace Turner, Daphne's father, would
be bitter about his daughters name
being dragged into such mess. but it
hurt that Daphne turned against him.
And Jameson was never acquitted.
After the second trial had resulted,
like the first in hung jury, jameson
simply was released. But he could be
taken into custody and tried again at
any time, for there is no statute of
limitations on murder.

WASHINGTON-Funeral services
were held here Saturday, April 26, for
Charles Edward Russell, 80, who was
one of the three persons most active in
organizing the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People.
The other two are William f. Walling
and Miss Mary White Ovington.
From the beginning of the century
to the time of his death Mr. Russell was
mcompromising in his stand that every
right be granted to colored citizens.
In Boston for years before the found
ing of the N.A.AC.P. he supported the
work of the New England Suffrage
League and the GUARDIAN, being an
associate of the Guardians founder and
late editor, William Monroe Trotter.
One of his chief interests was the
correction of false statements appear
ing in text and other books about col
ored Americans; his contributions and
his place in the life of the country. 1t
was chiefly through his influence that
the NAACP worked out technique
for tracing and correcting statements
derogatory to the race.
Mr.. Russell's last published article
"a Call for Real Unity" appeared in
the April Crisis. 1t contained fiery
and stirring appeal for "one-tenth of
the population of all residents of
the country, the most distinguished for
unswerving and unselfsh devotion to
it."

Colonel Dowell's letter of commend

Il desire to express my deep appre-
clatlon to you, and to the members of
your Commander, who so uncomplain-

the forest fires which ragged in this
vicinity earlier in the week.
Had the members of your Com

Broadway hit, of a few seasons past,
"Outward Bound" on May 9th, Friday,

Although the play is religious in ma

"The Passing of The Third Floor

in an unusual interesting way has given
