Race Woman Loses
SIS In Worlds
Oldest Swindle

Thelma Mitchell, 1920, e. 10th
ST., North Little Rock, shelled out
$85 in one of the oldest confidence
game known.
She told Little Rock Police
that she met Negro named Will
liam in line at the postal saw
ings window at the post office.
Soon she was engaged in CONVEX
sation with another Nego when
a woman came on the scene with
an old wallet containing several
large bills totaling about $500.
The woman told the group that
she would divide the money but
needed smaller denominations to
make change. Thelma handed the
$S5 she was carrying to the wo-
man and all vanished.
Thelma is wondering how many
others lost to the trio for them
to have that much money.

Truths For
A New Day
FAITH)

It is clear that the reality of
mankind is diverse, that opinions
are various and sentiments diff
ferent; and this difference of
opinions, of thoughts, of intelli-
gence, of sentiments among the
human species, arise from essent-
ial necessity; for the differences
in the degrees of existence of
creatures is one of the necessities
of existence, which unfolds itself
in infinite forms. Therefore we
have need of a general power
which may determine the senti-
ments, the opinions, and the
thoughts of all, thanks to which
these diversions may no longer
have effect, and all individuals
may be brought under the influ-
ence of the unity of the world of
humanity. 1t is clear and evident
that this greater power in the hui
man world is the love of God. 1t
brings the different people under
the shadow of the tent of af-
fextion; it gives to the antagon-
istio and hostile nations and fami-
lies the greatest love and union.

Shortly before noon today in Dis

its second-degree murder case

daughter. Annie M. Summers, II,

The defense Immediately called
DR.. Seymour j. Rosenberg, Wash

convince the jury of 2 women and
10 men that Mrs. Summers was of
unsound mind at the time of the
shooting. Justice Alexander Holtz-

Mrs. Summers, wearing black
coat and dress with pink scarf and

had spent a restless night trying to
find a solution.
