QNS) Witnesses traced the
movements of Count Alfred de
Marigny prior to discovery Of the
body of his father-in-law, Sir
Harry Cakes, as the counts hear
ing on a murder charge continued

in appearance" at the central sta
ton on the morning of July 8, the
day the murder was discovered.
Parker, declaring he was struck
by the unusual hour, told the
court that De Marigny had APP
peared at 1880 and asked infor-
nation about procedure and
forms in connection with the
changeoVer of his automobile 10
truck use, Parker said.
WASN'T NERVOUS
Parker said De Marigny was
"wide-eyed' and added that his
lips protruded but showed no
signs Of swelling or bruises. The
officer remembered that DE Ma
rigny spoke as usual and showed
no signs of nervousness.
A dinner party staged by De
Marigny the night before Sir
Harry was found bludgeoned 10
death in his burned bed was de-
scribed by two women who had
been among 10 guests at De Ma
rigny's home.
Dorothy Clarke. wife Of a
RCAF officer, testified that she
and the wife of a British army
captain had been invited by De
Marigny. AT 12:45 a. m, she
said, De Marigny took them both
home in his automobile.

Early Customs OF Today Contain Many
Curious Remnants OF Early Paganism

that to two and finally it became as
it exists now, a single day COM
memorative of the resurrection
CHANGE EASY
It was the invariable policy of the
church to give a Christian slgnifi-
cance to such of the extant pagan
ceremonies as could not be rooted
out. In the case of Easter, the con-
version was easy. Joy at the rising
of the sun and at the awakening of
nature from the death of winter be-
came joy at the rising of the Sun
of Righteousness, at the resurrec-
ton of Christ from the grave.
Some of the pagan observances
which took place about the first OF
May were also shifted to correspond
with the celebration of Easter. Many
new features were added. 1t was a
time of exuberant joy. All labor
ceased; all trade was suspended. 1t
was a favorite time for baptism
the law courts were closed, aims were
given to the poor, slaves were freed
TINE OF Joy
In the reaction from the austerl-
ties of Lent people gave themselves
up to enjoyment, popular sports
dances and farcical entertainments
In some places the clergy to increase
the mirth recited humorous stories
from the pulpit for the purpose OF
exciting the Easter smile.
In many parts of the world people
exchanged the Easter kiss and the
salutation Christ Is Risen" to which
the reply was made, "He is Risen in
deed" a custom practiced in some
parts of the continent even today.
United States today observes the
Easter period as a time for quiet
reflection and meditation rather than
gaiety. Easter Day ends the period
of comparative quiet and the custom
has developed in this country fol

Name of Easter Derived from
Angl0-Sax0n Heather God
deSs Known as Eastre
Button Churches to C0mmem-
crate Resurrection of Christ
On Sunday

Bluffton churches Sunday will OBJ
serve Easter in commemoration Of
the resurrection of Christ with many
of the traditional practices of the
observance marked by remnants that
were once distinctly pagan in char
.acter.
The name, Easter, is used only
among the English and German
speaking people. 1t is derived from
a pagan goddess of the Saxons
known as Eastre. She was the per-
sonifcation of the east, of the morn
ing, of the spring
"EAsTERMoNATH"
The month of April was dedicated
to her and was called "Eastermon-
ath" among the Saxons and Angles
ing, of the spring.
"Ostermonat". Her worship struck
deep root in Northern Germany and
was carried to England by the Sax
ons. Her worship still survives in
some obscure customs in feasts to
celebrate the return of spring.
The Christian Easter was origin
ally a sort of thanksgiving observ-
ance lasting eight days. This con-
formed somewhat to the length of
time devoted by pagans to their
spring festivities and approached
the duration of the Jewish Paschal
observances.
The eight day period was after
wards cut down to three days, after
