stand, he implicated Scroggins,
Stone and Nelson, as charged by
the state.
During the trial, the state also
introduced written statements
that had been signed by the de-

berry, as previously outlined by
the state. A recording of q con-
fession by Scroggins was also in

However, the attorney for the
defense, Mr.. Turner, made the
plea that the record and written
confession were obtained from his

force, beatings and other intimi-
dations by the police department
at the safety building.
Scroggins and Stone, when put
on the stand by Mr.. Turner, said

Judge Rensch told the jury he
was completely satisfied that
none of the police officers in

to which Stone and Scroggins
said they were subjected.

W.T. AND CONVERSATION

On the whole, a witty person Is
rarely a good talker. The wit is a
gate-crasher, who sits at the edge Of
a conversation and throws small
bombs at II until he blows Il to
blazes. You've got to start talking
about something else altogether
when a wit has passed, for that con-
versation is dead-murdered by him.
The real talker Is witty in lightning
like tangents from his matter; but
the wit has only tangent; he has
nothing whatever TO say on any sub
ject.-James Stephens.
