STUFFED TOYS

When making an Easter
bunny or any other toy that is
meant for squeezing, stuff it
well with soft materials. Cot
ton batting and Kapok are
good stuffings that are readily
available. Scraps of foam rub
Der, if you can get them, also
make excellent stuffings. Toys
padded with foam rubber are
mothers pets, because they can
be thrown right in the washing
machine. Or have you thought
OF stutfing toys with nylon
stockings? Save all your old,
unwearable stockings and use
them for making soft and
washable toys. 1t is easiest to
stuff as you sew, no matter
what kind of padding you're
using. AS you stitch up every
few inches of the outer fabric,
insert the stuffing, a little at
time, and pack well with a
pencil.

According to the acting solicit
or, Cannon, the dead woman's
Ison-in-law, and johnson, hao
gone to Mrs. Mishoe's home ear
ly Sunday evening. Both mer
had been drinking, he said.
According to the story unfold
ed at the inquest, johnson went
into another SOON in the Mishoe
house and went to sleep.
Cannon stayed with Mrs. Mi
shoe. A son and a daughter oil
Mrs. Mishoe, who lived with her
were sent repeatedly to a nearby
store, Long said, and it was dur
ing one of these absences that
Mrs. Mishoe caught fire.
The great part of the evidence
against the two men was the dis
covery that Cannon had stopped
at a ncighborhood service station
earlier in the day and bought a
jar of gasoline.
He told the jory that he bought
the gas to clean a fan, but could
offer no explanation as to where
the gas went.
INSURANCE POLICIES
Part of the states evidence
rests on two recently taken in
surance policies drawn on Mrs.
MiShoe by Cannon. Long said
that one posicy was for $4,000 in
case of accidental death; the
other was for $1,000 for natural
death and had a double indemni-
~ clause.
All witnesses who came in
contact with the burned woman
shortly after her death told the
jury they had smelled gasoline
fumes.
Johnson told the jury he was
innocent of everything except
being drunk and passed out
When l woke up" he toll dthc

lSmoke."
HELD FOR INVESTIGATION
Johnson told how he got tc
Mrs. Mishoe and got her off the
cot where she was lying uncon-
