And Craig leaned forward.
"Maud-Claud said you quarreled.

There was a silence - and again
that look of concentration in
Craig's eyes. And another trooper
came in to say that the knife that
killed Chivery came from the Brent
kitchen; Beevens, he said, was will
ing to swear to it. But no one knew
just when it disappeared.
Maud left and just after that,
Beevens made his not inconsider-
able contribution to the thing.
"It's about the vase, sir" he said
to Nugent. "Or rather about the
noise-the sound of something fall

Mr.. Brent-died."
Craig got up on his elbow to
listen.

had agreed with him, that the
sound had not been an accident.

There was great stir in a local residence recently, when local girls swain, returning from Seattle, brought with him an orchid A real, live orchid.
 In the family group ages from under 6 to over 50 were repres- ented, and to each it was a first, new, and vital experience. None had ever seen an orchid before.
 It was a green orchid, the florist said. but those viewing it agreed it was more of a yellow in color. But it could have been orange with vivid magenta spots and the wonderment would have been the same.
 The awe, in fact, was almost as great as that evinced by new corners to Alaska when they first view our wild flowers.

KODIAK DIARY

Some time ago in this column we ran an item about a rabbit brought to Kodiak as a pet de- spite the rabbit embargo. This week, from an APO far, far to the Westward, we received the following letter..
 "Just received my copy of the Kodiak Mirror dated Nov. 18th. "Read an excellent article, all about a "Wittle Wabbit"- This information may seem strange coming from way out here, but since that article was written, the "Wittle Wabbit" became a fond mother. She gave birth to about 10 "wittle, wit tie wabbits" a few days after she arrived in Kodiak.
 "Sure is fun to sit way out here and read your fine paper. Things like that article, sure bring back memories of l3 won- derful months spent in Kodiak as a member of the armed forces stationed at Ft. Greedy.
 Hoping to be able to return soon, remain a faithful reader, It. Wm. F. Swope.
 If we ever meet It. Swope we must ask him to what grapevine he also subscribes that keeps him informed of rabbit habits in Kodiak. And what he means by "about" 10?

Prosecution Demands
Death Penalty for
Marshal Petain
BY the Associated Press.

ny tHe Associated Press.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE Prosecu-
ton today demanded the death
penalty for 89-year-old Marshal
Petain today as Frances greatest
trial in $50 years neared it's close
Prosecutor Andre Mornet, sum-
ming up states evidence given dur
ing II trial days, told the high court
that the former head of the Vichy
government had:
Accepted a "dishonorable armi-
stice."
Shown "servility to Germans"
and condoned the assassination of
French Patriots"
Worked systematically against
our Allies"
THAT is treason" the red-robed
prosecutor shouted. "It Is a crime
for which no excuse exists. For
four years, Petain was guilty of
treason. I measure my words when
I say that.
Il ask the death penalty for him
who was marshal Of France"
Mornet said last April he would
seek death sentence for Petain
and then ask clemency.
Five Hour Sneech
The silver haired old soldier, who
still is a marshal of France, was
doing comfortably in his chair as
Mornet made his demand at the
climax of five-hour speech.
The decision is expected next
Tuesday night. For the first time
in French history the radio will be
taken into the court to disclose the
outcome Of the case, which Is COM
parable in French trial history to
that of King Louis XVI in 1893.
Louis was beheaded.
Gray-bearded, 79-year-old Hor-
net, famed for his conviction of the
spy Mata Hari during the first
World War, pictured Petain as an
old-line monarchist who hated the
republic, feared Bolshevism and
welcomed "Germanized Europe"
Mornet said Petain was driven by
vanity and a lust for power into
scheming to seize control of France
himself. and even had drawn up a
list of cabinet officers while he still
was Ambassador to Spain, before
the fall of France.
Mornet read a SHEAF of mes
sages which quoted Petain as order
ing various French commanders in
North Africa and Syria to resist Al
lied military operations.
Links Petain to Murder.
He accused Petain of indirect re-
sponsibility for the murder of
former Interior Minister Georges
Mandel, and said Petain had scut-
tied Frances feet at Toulon when
he might have sent it to the Allies.
They tell you the situation would
have been worse without Petain,' u
Mornet said.
How could it have been worse?
There is nothing worse. He almost
succeeded in depriving France of
her honor"
Mornet finished, saying: IT am
going to stop now. I could 60 on for
three days more if I covered all the
points in the accusation"
After the prosecution had finished.
Judge Mongibeaux read a letter just
received from a French official in
Switzerland who had refused to come
to Paris to testify. The letter said
Petain did not order Pierre Laval to
delete from radio speech sentence
quoting Petain as saying Il desire a
German victory"
This was point which took up
considerable time during Petain S
trial, and the letter was contrary to
