NO. 2 DARROW SCORES IN SWEET TRIAL JUDGE MURPHY SEES NO CONSPIRACY TO MURDER (Preston News Service) DETROIT, MICH. Nov. 19—After a shot from a gun in unknown hands had killed Leon Breiner, neighbors, who had once before met to discuss the undesirability of a Negro neighbor, held a second meeting the night after the shooting it was revealed Thursday. It was Darrow's first time to get an admission that the whites of the neighborhood had held a meeting. The admission came from Mrs. Florence Ware. She said that she went into the street. "The crowd," she began, but changed and said the policemen on the corner and the people who were there. After Darrow had gotten her to admit that meetings had been held and that there was a crowd she said that she did not see any stones thrown. NO CONSPIRACY SEEN BY COURT Though the State produced considerab'e evidence that Breiner was killed by shots fired from the Sweet house and that little or no disturbance preceded the riot. Judge Frank Murphy said Friday that he did not consider sufficient testimony had been adduced to justify a charge of conspiracy to murder. The Judge's statement seemed to complete surprise Prosecutor Toms DISMISSAL IS PREDICTED So far the State's testimony tends to show Sweet moved into his house after a period of race troubles in other sections of the city and that all the defendants were found there in the midst of a plant's supply of arms, ammunition and food. The defense to be presented by Darrow is that they fired after the house had been stoned. Judge Murphy's statement came during examination of Inspector McPherson, head of the police black-hand squad, when he testified he had offered Dr. Sweet protection and instructed Sweet to let him know whenever anything looked suspicious. Darrow objected that the testimony of the Inspector could be held binding only as to the defendants who actually heard the conversation and the prosecution contended under the conspiracy count it would be binding on all the defendants. "That may be true." Judge Murphy said, "gut at this time I do not believe there has been proof of conspiracy. The testimony of this witness will be admissible only against Dr Sweet and the others who heard his conversation with the inspectors." It is thought that Darrow will ask for dismissal as soon as the State rests its case. Indications are that the State will be unable to sustain its conspiracy charge. COVERNOR OF ARKANSAS SETS ASIDE NINE PARDONS. LITTLE ROCK, ARK. — Governor Tom L. Terral issued an order setting aside the nine pardons issued by Acting Governor S. B. (Pete) McCall last week and directed Dee Horton, superintendent of State prison, to retake the eight men and one woman and return them to the prison. The action was taken under a provision of the law requiring publication of the fact that application is to be made. Mr McCall issued the pardons while Governor Terral was attending a conference of Southern State executives in Birmingham. Governor Terral has gone on record as being opposed to the granting of pardons unless evidence showed convicts had been illegally sentenced or were innocent, of crimes charged to them.

Y., Nov. 19—Opposition of the South will prevent the reunion of the Methodist Episcopal Churches, North and South it was announced by Bishop William F. McDowell, of Washington after the forno session of the Board of B.shop of the Northern Church in session here last week. B.shop McDowell said that apparently the church of the South objected to the admission of Negroes to the church and so felt that it should preserve its historic identity as a separate and distinct religious jurisdiction. Although the referendum on the question of union has not been completed in the Southern Church, the vote so far registered has decided against union. Both the Northern $^n$ Church at its general conference in Springfield, Mass., and the Southern Church at its meeting in Chattanooga, Teum., in 1924, the latter by a small majority, voted in favor of the union but the question had to be submitted to the various distract conferences. HOUSTON MARTYR OUT ONLY 22 OF THE ORIGINAL 67 SOLDIERS NOW IN JAIL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been informed by Major Edgar King Acting Parole Officer at Fort Leavenworth Descriptive Barracks, of the release on home parole, November 1, of James Gaffney, former 24th Infantryman, who will go to Charlotte, N. C. This reduces the number of Houss Martyrs, imprisoned for alleged participation in the Houston riot to 32 out of the original 67 sentenced to life and long terms. The N. A. A. C. P. has fourh in behalf of these men from the day of the riot and expects that every one of them will have been paroled in 1928 Since the N. A. A. C. P. and cooperating bodies presented a petition in their behalf, signed with 125,000 names, to President Coolidge, when there were 55 still in prison, 33 men have been paroled. A Grand Organ Reestal, given by Mr. George Howell, accompanied by some of the best talent of the city will be rendered at the Sharon Baptist Church, Sunday, December 6, 1928 at 8 P.

RHINELANDER UNDER CROSS-EXAMINATION. WHITE PLAINS. N. Y., Nov. 11. —Leonard Kip Rhinelander, who his attorneys say, was pursued and duped into marriage by Alice Jones of New Rochelle, the daughter of a Negro tax-cab driver, took the stance today so that former Justice Isaac N. Mills might exhibit the; young man's bashfulness and his physical defect of stammering to the jury. Rhinelander identified sx of the scores of letters he received from the girl and they were read by Justice Mills, but none of them were of the lurd sort which the spectators had anticipated. They were illiterate and crude but in only one was there anything which might be construed as sensational. "They were offered to show that Leonard was invited to the Jones home by Alice and that most of the wooing was on her part. But the defense has bundles of letters also, written by Leonard, which they will offer to show that the love affair was anything but one sided. Rhinelander was not a prepossessing figure on the stand. There was an expression of bewilderment in his eyes, which peered through heavy glasses, and an intense effort at concentration. When he attempted to speak it was usually with a violent physical effort, which showed in his tense muscles. His hands clasped and unclasped over his knees, and then the words would shoot forth, spas- (Continued on page 4.) --- You may talk all you want out those Ed.

In loving remembrance of our dear sister, Maria Reed, who died three years ago, November 19, 1922: The month of November once more here. The sadstest to me of all the year. The depths of my sorrow no one can tell. At the death of my dear sister we loved so well; But while she lies in peaceful sleep her sacred memory we shall keep. CARTER—Mrs. Dulcena Carter, the wife of Mr. Leonard Carter of Richmond and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Carter, of Kozbury, Va died November 13, 1925, at the home of her parents. The funeral was held Sunday at the residence of her parents and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. M. M. Fisher and Rev. Joinin Kemp. His six brothers were palebearers and brothers'n-law were the honorary palebearers. The floral designs were numerous and beautiful one was sent by Traffic Bureau of the Police Department of New York City, another by members of the R. F. and P. R. R. and another by the West End Club of this city. The flowers were carved by six girls who had been her classmates and friends during her school days. The funeral was largely attended by friends of both families. The Supreme Court of Appeals of Virgin'a on last Tuesday refused the position for a writ of error from the death sentenced imposed on Rudolph E. Dusse, the young white man, who killed Henry G. Carter, Vivian Tomlin Peers, his mistress, and Officer Harvey E. Burke and wounded Will Is Britt. He is to be executed Nov. 27th unless the Governor re-erves him. I. P. E. A. BOWS TO. ARMSTRONG.

COUNTRY RALLIES $50,000 LEGA TWO N. A. A. C. P. BRANCHES GIVE $1,000 EACH NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—There has been a country-wide response to the appeal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for a $50,000 Legal Defense Fund. Two branches of the N. A. A. C. P. have given $1,000 each. Those branches are Cleveland and Philadelphia, the latter's President, Mr. Isadore Martin bringing a thousand dollar check in person to the National Office. In addition, Julian St. George White Secretary of the Citizens Republic Branch, addressed the Citizens Republic Club of Philadelphia, as a result of which that body has appropriated and sent in through the Philadelphia N. A. A. C. P. a check for $500. Among the first individuals to respond to the appeal for funds was Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri sponsor of the Anti-Lynching Bill, whose check for $50 was accompanied by a note reading: "To help in the fight for justice." The Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has sent in an additional check for $200.65, bringing its total contribution to date up to $880.15 and the Chicago Branch, through its Secretary, Morris Lewis, telegraphs: "Defense Fund now cash $500, goal $5,000 for Chicago. Big Mass Meeting 22nd (of November)". George W. Gross, President of the Denver Branch writes that Denver is sending $200 and V. D. Turner telegraphs that the St. Paul Branch is sending $375. New Haven has sent $50; Toledo. $446.57; Portland, Oregon. $71.90; Princeton, $50; Richmond, Ind., $50; and Connellsville, Pa., $25.

(Preston News Service) BLOOMFIELD, N. J. Nov. 16—It is said that despite protests of her parents Miss Hexen Burns, of 16 Walnut Terrace, this city, married William E. Jackson, of Montclair, who when he obtained a marriage license in New York Wednesday, admitted that he was of Negro blood. It is claimed that he told the clerks in the marriage license office that his mother was part Negro, her father being white and her mother colored. He added, it is said, that he had always passed as white. Ruling that Jackson was a Negro, Assisian Corporation Counsel Tarbox consented to the license grant. When they learned Thursday that Jackson was a Negro, Miss Burns parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Burns, vigorously protested against the marriage, but their daughter was firm in her determination to marry Jackson. The girl's grandmother who lives at the Walnut Terrace address, 's said to have sided with her grand-daughter and spoke of Jackson as a man of high character and declared that she was emphatically in favor of the marriage. SCORES SHEIKS AND CAKE EATERS. Miss Burns is reported to have declared that she was sick and tired of going around with cake-caters and she's. "They are a sly bunch of fools. Mr. Jackson is a fine man, gentlemanly and courteous; he thinks and talks of worthwhile things." She is quoted as saying, "I didn't want my mother to know that Mr. Jackson was a Negro, but now the fact that she does know won't stop me from marrying h'm".

In addition many small contributions ranging from one dollar upward are being mailed from all parts of the country. The status of the N. A. A. C. P. Defense Fund as of Friday morning, November 13, is as follows: Given outright by The Garland Fund $5,000. Offered in addition. $15,000. 00. Required to meet offer, $30. 000.00. Total, $50,000. Raised to date, $6,022.60; Still to go, $23,977.40. Commenting on the results to date James Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. Secretary said: "The country-wide response to the appeal for funds to fight for the Negro's fundamental citizenship rights is most encouraging. With these funds we hope to win the Detroit case. But that case is only the most dramatic of many we have to fight. The Washington Segregation Ones's no less important. Colored people should know that in the Wash ington Case, the eminent counsel associated with the attorneys for the plaintiffs. Messrs. Moorfield Storey, Louis Marshall, Arthur B. Spingarn and Herbert K. Stockton, are giving their services absolutely without compensation, for that reason only the Washington Case will cost less than the very expensive Detroit fight, but the incidental expenses such as printing, will nevertheless be heavy. There is crying need for every con that anyone has to give. The enthusiaspic response to the N. A. A. C. P. anual shows that both white and colored people are aware of the critical moment."

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Drys Look to Next Generation for Victory in Fight for Prohibition CONSENSUS of opinion gleaned by the seeker after truth from the country's leading dry leaders, who attended the national convention of the Anti-Saloon League of America, at Chicago, evinces these interesting and new slants upon the question of prohibition: That drys are becoming "alarmed" or "aware" of growing strength and influence among the wets. That drys intend redoubling their energies in enforcement of the Volstead law to prevent the possibility of modification. That dry leaders seemingly are content to tolerate illicit booze during this generation in hope and expectation that the people will ever know what booze tastes like. That local and state governments are to be greater pressed to take some of the load of enforcement of the dry act off federal hands. These sentiments were reflected in more or less universal manner by all dry chiefs who came here for the week of meditation and laying of battle plans for a renewed and increased army, and in these heights," scheduled for 1926. By "these heights," an impassioned dry leader pointed out that he meant that no dalliance or neglect should let the cause of prohi- FRANCIS SCOTT McBRIDE bition lose its victory already attained to foreign "liquor propa ganda." Conditions Better According to Francis Scott McBride, general superintendent of the league, dry enforcement has improved generally throughout the country. He cited the instance of New York city during 1925 where, he said, major crimes had shown a decrease of one-third under the level of 14,000 recorded during 1907. McBride predicted there is no chance that the Volstead law will ever be modified or repealed. "The only way in which it will be changed is by legislation that will make it even more strict," he said. In five years both observance and enforcement of tits law will be greatly improved because of better public co-operation and more first-rate educational programs teaching the harmful effects of liquor. Looks to Next Generation "It is not likely, however, that liquor will ever be totally suppressed in this generation, but in the next, the liquor problem will be no greater in this country than it is in the pioneer dry states where it is as dry as the desert and where it is accepted as one of the blessings of civilization. "Very truthfully, the opposition represented by the outlawed liquor traffic is much stronger than we anticipated. But we are infinitely more powerful than the wets who have been more intensively aggressive than the rank and file of the wets have been. "Our fight has just started and will continue until the next generation, when the victory shall have been completely won." --- 'Leggers Win U.S. NAVY Commander J. H.

THIS LIFE is a mystery and every day other puzzles are being presented to the person who takes the time to think. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE at Washington issues a summary showing that there are 692 farms in Charles City County, of which 508 are operated by colored farmers. The value of the land and buildings is $1,762,136. The farm acreage is 58 143. COLORED FOLKS should take courage and be happy. A North Carolina judge and a North Carolina jury have succeeded in punishing a North Carolina mob with fine, jailed and the penitentiary. This world is surely moving and everybody should know it OUR FRIENDS have been good to us and we have been about three years enjoying their hospitality. As for our enemies, well, they have been "giving us the devil". We are still in God's keeping and are marching in the direction of where we hear the sounds of success. THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE under the presidency of William A. Sinclair'r of Philadelphia and the secretaryship of Will'am Monroe Trotter is attempting to keep President Calvin Coolidge awake at night until the fundamental rights now denied the colored folks are accorded. THE DIVISION OF NEGRO WELFARE and Statistics of the Michigan Department of Labor and Industry, through Director Charles A. Campbell, the George W. Swigart Land Company of Chicago has been forced to withdraw from the State of Michigan on account of sharp practices in portions of Lake, Mason Bezie and Mamista counties, where colored people were induced to purchase at exorbitant prices worthless land. Much money was refunded by the company on account of the activities of this Department. WE CANNOT understand why the colored over-seas veterans do not perfect an organization here, which will enable them to take advantage of Armistice Day and its accompanying benefits of state-wide and nation-wide advertisement. A fine parade took place here Wednesday November 11th and it was noted for the absence from its ranks of colored men. Contrary to the usual custom, the colored bucket carrier and sealtion were not in evidence. From a personal viewpoint colored folks were not in France from Richmond and took no part in the World War over there. We hope that the leaders nere, many of whom wear decorations conferred by the French Government will see to it that they have a parade of their own next time. They have the men, the unforms, the bands, the patrolle women and the money. Let us wake up and stage our own Armistice parade. QUESTIONS OF LAW. INTERESTING QUESTIONS of law are presented in two interesting cases. During the absence of the Governor of Arkansas from the State the acting Governor proceeded to pardon certain convicts. Some of them had been refused pardons by the Governor. The latter was aroused and expressed his disapproval of the act of his acting representative. Finally a provision of the statute providing that the names of applicants for pardons should be published beforehand, was invoked and the re-incarceration of the pardoned men was ordered. Finally it was agreed that a test case should be made and one of the pardoned men was arrested and promptly released upon a writ of habeus corpus, pending the final decision by the Supreme Court. On first brush, it would seem that a pardon granted, issued and put into operation cannot be revoked. What has been done in this particular can not be undone. We doubt if during the whole history of this Republic that an attempt has ever been made to revoke a pardon. It would be a dangerous precedent for the reason that a pardon granted by one Governor, could be revoked by his successor and a most embarrassing situation would present itself for solution. Another case comes from Hartford Conn. Gerald Chapman, a notorious bandit and murderer was released from the Atlanta penitentiary temporarily in order that he might be tried in Hartford for the slaying of a policeman. The jury found him guilty of first degree murder and he is awaiting execution for the crime. The question raised is interesting. Can a prisoner in a penal institution be taken out, and executed for a subsequent crime, before he is discharged from the former institution either on a pardon or by the expiration of the time for which he was incarcerated? It seems to us that the question answers itself. Gerald Chapman can only be executed after he has been discharged from the Atlanta Prison. As his term is 25 years, it is probable that he will die by natural processes before the death penalty is inflicted. Unless it is to be ruled that being an outlaw, he is estitled to no protection of the laws and may be executed and dealt with regardless of the statutes, a most embarrassing situation is presented. Were he an honest man, he would not be able to supply the money to test the anom alous situation as is now being presented. RHINELANDER (Continued From Page 1) modically, brokenly, sometimes only in a rapid mumble in which his meaning was indistinguishable. HE REVIEWS THEIR AFFAIR. His meeting with Alice, her invitation to call on her, his subsequent visits several times a week, her letters, their theatre trip to town which resuited in his spending five days with her at the Marie Antoineot Hotel, and a second stay there of two weeks—all the unpleasant details of the affair with the dark-skinned girl who later became his wife were recounted in the same expressionless, broken manner. When court was adjourned he was still narrat ng events of the time preceding their marriage. He had never been intimate with a woman before he knew her, he told Justice Miis and the jury. On their first visit to the hotel he left only once, on Christmas Eve, when he went to the home of his father, Philip Rhinelander, for dinner, and on the second visit he did not leave at all. On this occasion, however, Alice went home once to spend the night. When he was sent away to Atant'e City with a companion he came back to her because she was "very sick", and when he was sent to Washington he also returned to her. Then he's father sent him on the long journey to Havana and through the Panama Canal, from which he returned to marry her. Rhmeander met his wife through a chance encounter with her sister, Grace, he said. He had been out in his car with Carl Kreitler, an electrician, with whom he had become acquainted when Kroft worked at The Orchard at Shippan Point near Stamford. They had stopped in New Rochelle because of some trouble with the car and Grace halted them from the sidewalk, he said. They took her in and drove to Port Chester and later when they drove back to New Rochelle, Carl took the car and drove away with Grace for an hour, while Rhnelander and a friend of Car's got something to eat. TELLS OF SECOND MEETING. Later he went to New Rochelle to take a message from Carl to Grace. He met her on the road near the spot where she first spoke to them, he said, and while he talked to her Alice walked up. Grace suggested that she get another man, that Rhine lander take Alice, and that they all go for a ride, he said. So they picked up a man on the road. "Did you know the other fellow?" asked Justice Mills. "Hadn't any idea," said Rhine lander. "Who spoke to him?" "Grace did." They drove to Proctor's in Mt. Verron, and later took the girls home. He received a postal card from Alice, he said, and as a result, called on her three days later. This THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA time he met Mrs. Jones, who is white. He stayed two hours, and then took a ride with Alice around Poiham and New Rochelle. "Did she invite you to come again?" "Yes." said Rhinelander "How soon did you go again?" "Next evening." He saw her almost every evening during the next month, he said and then Justice Mu's produced the first letter, written by Alice almost a month after their first meeting on September 10, 1921. It was dated October 27 and read: Dearest Leonard: Received your welcome letter and very glad to hear from you. But unfairly you got home so late dear. Well how are you. Carl cried me up, and he asked me how I were. But listen you come down Thursday Ev. and I shall go to Stam food with you. Well dear, you must of been very busy shopping. I on y wish I had been with you. I bet you had some sport. Well dear I hope you are well and hope to hear from you real soon. Love. ALICE. Another letter on Nov. 4 read: Dearest Leonard: Received your sweet letter and telegram very glad to hear from you dear. I hope Leonard you will have a lovely Eve. at your intended brother-in-law. But please enjoy yourself dear—I was just fooing when I told you dear. I was going to a dance. I am staying home. And being a good girl tonight and staying in so that I shall be out with you Saturday. I miss you terrible tonight, but hope dear you are happy. I was surprised when you came in Friday morning, and you just left after five mutes your telegram came. But do not worry Leonard. I will be true to you and I will stay here I promise you I will not go to Hartford now because you have been lovely to me, just like a sister. But I had to sit down and drop you a few lines dear. I would have loved to have seen Carl son. But probably some day I hope to see him. I am hear at mothers staying home with them, and going to bed early. Well, dear. I will come to a oose and will say night's night, with lots of sova and best wishes till Saturday. Love, ALICE. TELLS OF VISIT TO CAFE In another letter, she wrote, "Well sweetheart, how did you get home after such a wild excitement with me. But I love, Leonard, to be with you day and night, but I feel terrible lonesome for you, when I do not see you." Justice Mills asked him what the "wild excitement" was. "I believe that was an evening that Alice and I and Carl and some one named Fatie Walton went to a cafe." said Rhinelander! "We had several drinks and we began feeling rather frisky and Carl told us we would have to take Alice's friend home. Later he gave her his picture as she asked in one of the letters. He was frequently alone with her, he said, but was never intimate with her until November 23, when they went to New York to go to the theatre. "How did you happen to go to the Marie Antoinette Hotel?" asked Judge Mills. "We were on our way to the theatre, motoring in, and Alice told me she anticipated staying at the Marie Antoinette that night." "Nothing had been said, up to that time about staying at the hotel?" "You were planning to take her back home?" "Yes." "What happened then?" "I asked her if I might accompany her," he said, having considerable difficulty with the word, "accompany." "What did she say to that?" "She refused a4 first, but after some persuasion she agreed to 't.' "How much time was persuaded in persuading her?" asked Judge Mills. REGISTER AS THE SMITHS They went to the hotel and registered as Mr. and Mrs. James Smith of Rye, and then went to the theatre. Then they returned to the hotel. "Was it a room with or without a bath?" "With a bath." "One room?" "Yes." "How long did you remain in that room?" "About a week," said young Rhinelander, unmoved. He then went into detaits of their stay, and said that the only time he left was to go to his father's home for dinner on Christmas evening. The following January they went to the hotel again and this time stayed two weeks, registering under the same name. After this adventure he did not go back to The Orchard where he was undergoing treatment for stammering, because a Mr. Bowers a lawyer and friend of his father came to the Maré Antoinette and took him away. He stayed at the Belmont three days and then went to Atlantic City with a man obtained by Mr. Bowers. "Did you hear from Alice while you were there?" asked Judge Mills. "Yes I got a telegram that she was very ill," he said, and added that he name back to New York and went to see her. Then he went to Washington and later started on the sea trip. That was, as far as he got when Justice Morschauswer adjourned court for the day. SEQUEL TO SEPARATION. It was shown during the examination of Joseph J. Strong, secretary to Supreme Court Justice Fawcett, that Rhine'ander, shortly after his separation from his wife, was taken by Strong to the latter's Summer home at Ballrose L, I. and, kept there for nearly two months Strong said that he had received $1,000 for his services from the Rhinelanders so far, and expected $250 more. He served the summons and complaint on Mrs. Rhine'ander when the suit for annulment was brought and got rather mixed up to how the complaint was signed. He finally s'd it was signed by Rhinelander on Thanks LOOKS LIKE A BIG THANKSGIVING By A B CHAPIN LOOTS TO BE THANKFUL FOR MOST EVERY BODY CHAPIN JUDGE FASTER. dence. 700 Denny Street.

They had come over from the Robert Treat Hotel to sign M., and then had gone back to Newark, where Strong said he signed it as notary. The unusual circumstances of a Kings County notary going to Newark then obtaining a signature $^a$ in a tube station in Manhattan, and later going back to Newark to get his stamp so he could sgn it himself, caused some caustic comment by Lee Parsons Davis, attorney for Mrs. Roelander. The next day he took Rhneander to his Summer hole at Berose, which had been closed for the Winter, opened the place and instaled Rhineander there with a Miss McQuade as housekeeper. Strong said he spent about eight hours a day there n itself until Rhinelander left on January 19. Mrs. Julie Despres of 105 E.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Nov. 16. The last of Alice Jones Rhinelander's letters to her husband were read into the record yesterday before Justice Morschauer; letters pleading, caoling, threatening, suggesting; letters that aroused pity and anger and disgust, and then the elderly Judge Isaac N. Mills said, "That's all" and turned Leonard Kip Rhinelander over the Lee Parsons Davis, the attorney for Mrs. Rhinelander. Rhinelander twitched a little in his seat, sat up straighter and elapsed his hands tightly around his crossed knees. Before the merciless prodding of Davis had gone on for half an hour, a bland, satiric questioning broken now and then by Mr. Davis's ronic remark that he wished to be kind to "one so afflicted," young Rhinelander had made contradictory statements; had said he didn't know whether he was a man, or that he had obeyed orders from his attorney, permitted them to (continued on page 5) CHURCH DIRECTORY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

The resumption of personal examination was a relief from the four days of continual letter reading. Even the jury, desirous of doing their duty, had nodded and pawned as the day passed slowly on and Judge Mills read and read. The letterst were the most diverse of all those which had yet been put into the record. They were the unrestrained, primitive letters of an illiterate woman deeply moved by conflicting emotions and desires; they contained the inevitable poems; they contained her hopes for automobiles and money and an apartment of her own; they rang with cues of hope and fear an denvy. Thoughts of Love and Money Mixed. Her thoughts of love and money were so mixed up that in one letter she said: "I dreamed of you last night * * * and how you loved me, and you gave me piles and piles brand new ten dollar bills. But you could not give me enough of them, and every one of them were brand new." It was only a few minutes after this was read that Judge Mills turned Rhinelander over to Davis, and the determined looking counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander, who used to be a District Attorney, rose to his full heights and looked at Rhinelander as if welcoming the opportunity which had been so long in arriving. His voice is deep and impressive in its intonations; he uses it with dramatic effect. Rhinelander turned to him the same impassive, mask-like countenance which he has shown through all the trial. Only the gleaming intensity of his eyes indicates the great effort he makes at concentration in order to overcome the impediment in his speech. Occasionally his eyelids open and close rapidly, and his mouth strains till his lips are a thin straight line before he is able to open them. "Because of the impediment in your speech I want to be as kindly as I can," said Mr. Davis slowly. "If you do not understand what I say tell me and I will repeat it gladly. "Now tell me, my mind is all right now, isn't it?" "I think it is," said Rhinelander, curtly. "You don't want Judge Mills and the jury to get the impression that you are an imbecile?" Rhinelander folded his arms with an effort as if to get control of his nerves, and said, "No." "Back in 1923 your mind was all right, wasn't it?" "Yes." "Said He Knew What He Was Doing." "You know what you were doing?" "Yes." "Back in 1922 and in 1921 your mind was all right?" "Yes," said Rhinelander, fastening his eyes steadily upon his questioner. his eyes steadily upon his questioner. “You don’t want the jury to get the impression that you didn’t know what you were doing?” “No.” “You didn’t stutter quite so much when you talked to your wife, Alice?” “No,” h ereplied, still in monosyllables. “This is your wife sitingt in, isn’t she,” said Davis, moving back to where Mrs. Rhimlander sat with her head bowed, as it has been for the last three days in court. She hardly looked at her husband as he talked, and his eyes never for a moment strayed in her direction. He kept them fastened on the tail figure of her counsel. And when the youth said that she was his wife it was the first time that either he or Judge Mills had referred to the fact or admitted it. Dr. Davis then turned to the day when he was taken away from his wife by Mr. Jacobs, a lawyer employed in his father’s office. "He hurried you into the automobile?" said Mr. Davis. "I harried," corrected Rhinelander. "Ah," said Davis with satisfaction, "you are able to make that distinction." Jacobs took him to a boarding house in Jamaica that night and then took him to Washington, said Rhinelander, and after staying in the capital four days they went back to Jamaica. A moment later he remembered that he had not gone straight there, but had stopped at Newark at the Robert Treat Hotel, and after stopping in a Manhattan tube station, had gone to Bellrose, L. I. "You just thought of Strong's testimony, didn't you?" said Davis, referring to the notary who certified Rhinelander's signature to the complaint in the case, which he had said was signed in the Ninth Street tube station. "You changed because of Strong's testimony?" Signed Complaint in a Booth. TOBEY AND TYKE "Yes," he said, clamily. But he could not possibly remember what tube station it was, although he remembered that he did not learn against a billboard as Strong had said, but had signed on a shelf of a telephone booth. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening, he recalled, and he remembered that he had first seen the complaint in the Robert Treat about twenty-four hours before he signed it. "So it wasn't necessary for you to read it in the subway station?" said Davis. "No" replied Rhinelander. "No, replied Rhinelander. Then Davis made Rhinelander leave the witness chair and walk around in front of the stand, so that he might sign his name on a piece of paper in about the same standing position he had taken in the subway. Rhinelander did it very nonchalantly, reaching out his hand for a fountain pen from Davis before the attorney was quite ready to hand it to him. His composure in the most disconcerting situations was remarkable. "You are not very nervous now, are you?" Davis asked him when it was all over. "A little tbit," said Rhinelander. The attorney handed the paper containing the fresh signature and the complaint to the jurors that they might compare the handwriting, but what he had deduced from them he did not make clear in his subsequent examination. After the complaint was signed Strong put it in his pocket and they both went back to Newark, said Rhinelander. Says He "Followed Orders." "Who picked out this subway station in which to sign this paper?" asked Davis. "I don't know; I followed orders," said Rhinelander ingenuously. "Oh, that's what we have been trying to get at—whose orders?" exclaimed Davis. "My lawyer, Mr. Jacobs," was the answer. "When did he give them to you?" "At the Robert Treat." At the Robert Treat. "Then he told you to go with Strong to the subway station, sign the annulment papers and come back?" "He did." "What station did he say to go to?" "Anywhere in New York." "You didn't want to sign that paper," said Davis slowly, his voice falling and a pause between each word, that he might get the utmost emphasis into it to convey his contention that young Rhinelander has had little to do with bringing the suit. But, "I did indeed," was the quick answer he obtained. "What was the date on which you first wished to sign that complaint?" asked Davis. "After —" "Not after anything," interrupted Davis; "what date?" "I don't remember." "How long after you left your wife, or was it before?" "It was after." "How long after?" Rhinelander hesitated a long time and finally said: "Two days." "Where?" "In Washington." "And you had some talks with Mr. Jacobs," said Davis. "You didn't know when you left this little girl that you wanted to sign a complaint?" "I can't answer that yes or no, said Rhinelander with composure. FLORENCE LETTER. FLORENCE, S.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE WAR IN MOROCCO Syrian Uprising Serious==Bombarding Damascus, a Great Blunder==French Troops Unable to Hold Rebellious Druses in Check. DRUSE CHEFTAIN IS GRIM AND DEFIANT, SAYS WRITER. Rumors that the uprising of the Jebel Druses around Damascus is only the beginning of a struggle for the complete independence of Syria from French mandate rule are conceived by a report written for the Vossische Zeltung of Berlin by Dr. Wolfgang Weiss. Dr. Weiss is said to be the only European newspaper man to visit the Druse headquarters after hostilities began last Summer. Dr. Weiss was present at the fateful negotiations for peace between representatives of the French and the Druse chiefs and was in Mejdel when the council of war was held at which it was decided to fight to the limit for independence. His story was sent from Jerusalem, from which city he had made the trip across the stony desert to the Druse territory and back in an automobile driven by a Druse chauffeur. After a detailed description of his journey and an account of his leave taking from a group of Briffsh aviators on the trans-Jordanian border, the Teuton writer tells of his hearty reception by the minor Druse leaders at their headquarters and his efforts to convince them that they could expect no help from Great Britain in their conflict with France. Then he describes his meeting with Soltan Pasha, the real chief of the Atrash tribe. DEFIANT AND TENACOIUS "Soltan Pasha comes up to me and shakes hands," writes Dr. Wes."He motions me to a place in the room next to Emir Hamad, my host of yesterday. On its right he seats the peace emissaries. Then he sits down himself and is silent. "I have time to take a close look at the leader of the insurgents. I am somewhat disappointed. I can read nothing of greatness, of superior intelligence, of understanding for foreign ideals in this lean, bony face. The steely black eyes under heavy black brows know nothing about mildness. The profile of this perhaps forty-year-old man, with its hooked nose, sharp lips under a bushy, wry mustache, and its powerful lower jaw, reminds me of my old gunner in the Vienna Arsenal, not of an Ornental army chief. "The Pasha sits motionless on his cushion. The peace negotiator speaks Soitan Pasha's face becomes constantly more inscrutable. His domain, characteristic becomes more evident from minute to minute. It is endless, defiant and unconcerned tenacity. From this moment I am sure that it makes no difference what the emissaries propose or what the shocks decide. The warrior next to me has already made his decision, and it cannot be changed by any power on earth. Hq will fight whether his cousins follow him or not. "For two hours the subdued, non-committal council continues. New guests arrive salute the Pasha and take their seats. Soitan Pasha's sharp eye sizes up each arrival, his face, his greetings, his weapons. Then he turns to his neighbors, the parliamentarians. The strongest of councils of war, the strangest of headquarters." ONLY THE BEGINNING While strolling through the village during the intermission for luncheon the correspondent encounters a number of delegates from other parts of Syria, including a young Arab who, in faultless French remarks: "What you see here in Jebel Druse is not merely a local revolt, as the French wish to make it appear but the beginning of a general Syrian uprising. Within a short time Damascus will rise and the French will have to evacuate that city and perhaps all of Syria." When Dr. Weisl voiced his skeptism about the possibilities of a revolt in Damascus the Syrian replied: "We are from Damascus and know the situation there very well. I repeat that what you see is only the beginning of the great uprising. The people of Damascus will rise. All Syria will rise. The Druses will not make peace without demanding the independence of all Syria." Answering the respondents' statement that so far he had heard nothing about independence, but only about the recall of Captain Carbillet, the question of surrendering arms, etc. the officer from Damascus said: "But you have not yet talked with Soltan Pasha. As for the others"—He finished with a deprecatory gesture. "Does Soltan Pasna really think he can beat the French?" inquired Dr. Weish. The young Arab replied affirmatively and added: "We know that the French have a strong army in Morocco, that the people in Paris are very dissatisfied with the colonial wars, that it will be difficult to send European troops to Syria to wage a war in which there can be no gains and nothing but losses. And here in Syria the French army of occupation is very weak. Most of it is confined to the unurly cities, and scarcely 6 000 men can be used in the field. What are the French going to do in such a case?" NO FAITH IN FRANCE After the negative ending of the peace negotiations and the departure for Beur of the parliamentary delegates, Soltan Pasha had a long conversation with the correspondent in the course of which he complained that the French aviators had dropped bombs upon undefended Druse villages, killing many women and children. In response to a question about the peace terms offered by the French delegates, he said: "They are unacceptable. We absolutely are not content with the autonomy of the Jebel Druse. We have no confidence in the French and we know that tomorrow they will not live up to what they have promised today while hard pressed. Therefore we must put them where they cannot usure. So we must not fight just for the Jebel Druse alone but must not rest until all Syra is free. We demand the independence of all Syria." "What do you understand by Syria?" inquired Dr. Weisl. After a brief, subdued consultation on the Pasha answered: "Damascus, Aleppo, Jebel Drusie, in short, everything." "And Lebanon, too?" "We don't demand it unless it wishes to join us." "How about the State of the Accounts?" "Naturally, the Alaouites must form part of independent Syria." Answering for Solta $ ^{n} $ Pasha, the officer from Damascus thus defined their dea of freedom: "A free ejected Parliament that will independently adopt $ ^{n} $ Constitution; a national Ministry, responsible to Parliament; a national army; a Chief of State." "Personally I favor a President." interjected Soltan Pasha. "but that is my private view. Perhaps the majority will choose a King for Syria." "And what concessions will the insurgents make to the French?" asked the correspondent. The Drusue answered: "In truth, we are against all foreigners, and would prefer to be alone in our country but if it must be, we are ready to make economic concessions. We will grant to the French the same position that the English occupy in Iraq. We will accept French advisers in the dfferent departments if they really are only advisers." Do you believe, sir, that the French will accept such conditions, that they will really evacuate Syria?" Soltan Pasha shrugged his shoulders and replied: "I cannot read the minds of the French. I know only that we cannot return to the conditions under which we were living before the uprising. Rather d'e honorably than like in slavery." "Is there a possibility of victory at all?" "Yes, for I am not alone. We have no organization in the country, but SHAVE WITHOUT A RAZOR Shaving Powder will give you a clean, healthy shave without using a razor. It will also remove razor bumps and pimples from your face. Get it from your druggist or department store or send us this count in stamps for a half pound can by mail, postpaid, enough for 15 shaves. SHAVING POWDER COMPANY... Sayannah, Georgia. --- many sheiks and emirs who love me will come to me from all Syria if I call them. If the French really get reinforcements and attack me, their invasion of our country will be the signal for an uprising in all Syria.' The $n$ the Syrian from Damascus turned to the newspaper man in triumph and said: 'You see, Soltan Pasha tells you just what I told you. This uprising here is merely the beginning of the great Syrian revolution.' A few minutes later a messenger informed Soltan Pasha that the sheiks had assembled for another council and were awaiting him. The Druse leader accompanied the correspondent to his automobile and spoke these parting words: 'We are fighting for the freedom of all Syria. Now we are gathering our forces. In a few days fresh battles begin. Come again then and be our guest in Damascus.' Two days later the automobile rolled up to the British aviation post in Mefrat. "Well," queried the officers, "is the war over? "It is just beginning," answered Dr. Weisi. ABINGDON LETTER. Mr. H. M. C. Simmons has returned to the city. Mrs. Ermer Wilden is much improved.

He visits Slater, just prior to setting fire to the build- ing, with the intentions of usiig ‘a horse-whip on the captive, but ALF, a friend of Slater and Sla- ter's sweetheart, Kathleen Glenis- ter, also a prisoner in the mill,, breaks into Dudley's plans and rescues the prisoners. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “T'll pin my hat ov,” Said Kathleen briskly. But before she had accomplished the feat Alf, growling lke an angry mastift, sprang to the door and Nor- man uttered a ery of dismay. For @ waft of acrid smoke had Grifted into the room and from below there reached them the crackle of flames. “He's done us!" sald Alf. “My fault foi being soft hearted. 1 ought to have put him right out and not been so bally kind.” “anyhow.” remarked Kathleen calmly, “it will be plain proof that he murdered George. I told Hinkley ‘what he had threatened to do. If he isn't hanged for that murder he will be for this.” ‘A flerce exaltation shone in the girl's face. ‘The two men looked at her with awe, In the hour of her own extremity, while @ furnace raged in the one exit from the mill and death was very near to her, she could only think of the vengeance stie had striven so hard to,win and yet hoped might fall. “I'm glad you feel like that, Mise,” said Alf, with @ note of restrained ad- miration blended with pity. “It make what's coming to you come easter.” ‘Then he ran out on to the Jending and peered over the rotting balus- trade down the well of the stajrease. ‘The pungent fumes nearly choked him. “The only chance,” he coughed, ‘and ran back {nto the room. CHAPTER XXVI ‘The Herolsm of Mr. Colne B parted from Inspector Wrvrcsse ona a stone Colne as they started from Cothbrook ‘Towers to walk through the woods to the clearing, where the statesman had promlied the detective evidence of Sit Dudley's guilt, an¢ it has been ‘shown that these two men; each eminent in his own calling reached thelr destination at the rit! cal moment when Mr. Fablan Wom mersley’s electric apparatus had been turned on. ‘The pedestrians halted at the un expected sight, Wragge casting ¢ sidetong glance at his companion a if to make sure tHat It was a8 great a surpriseto Mr. Colne ag It' was to himeelt. “A queer go.” sala the Inspector thoughtfully. “Is this. what you brought me along. for, slr?” + “Nooo;* was thé Tong-drawa ‘re ply. “What do you make of it?” “Pleture artiats faking 2 film,” salt ‘Wragge, and for once his tone lacked the deference he habitually used to- ward tho cabinet minister. And he added with a still more marked ab: sence of respect: “Looks a bit rocky, sir, for this wonderful evidence of yours that’s going to dish the Beech- ‘wood baronet. This show couldn't have been started without his sanc- tlon, and murderers don't squirt electricity on thelr guilty eecrets.” “What had we better do?” sald Mr. Colne feebly. “Why, join the crowd and probe the mystery,” sald Wragge. So it was that they advahced into the béam projected by the Amphi bilan Syndicate’s apparatus, inciden- tally so frightening “Miss Maud Blair” that in her sudden start she ‘catited over the miil-wheel on which she was posed and got herselt, dammed by it against the masonry of the dam. Unconscious of the part they had played in causing the catastrophe, they stood on the bank “HE'S DON US," SAID ALF. “MY FAULT FOR BEING SOFT. HEARTED.” watching Mr, Wommeretey's curious antics. It was only when the tall men mushed out on to the dam thet the tnspector grasped that there had been an accident, and when John Grimes brought his daughter to the bank ‘and Jal her down Wragge stiffened:in all his fibres as he recog: nized the injured actress as Mrs. simon Trickey of Lipscombe Road, Brixton. At the instant of his own recognition he was conscious that ‘Mr. Colne convulaively gripped his ‘arm. Wragge was at pains to con- ‘eal the thrill of excitement that was nearly destroying his composure, You know the woman, sir? jasked, tuning his voice to an incut!- ‘ous note. “L know her? tuerled Mr. Colne as it in defense of his dignity. He laughed a ttle, as.if it was @ case for amusement rather, than resent ment, “Iam afrald that I have neg: lected my opportunities, Wragge, for cultivating cinema professionals—it Tever had any.” ‘The inspector's hand stole gently under bis companton’s arm, at though te guide him nearer the casualty. “It geemed not impossible that you nffat know fer arafor If Tam not mistaken ghe is @ native of these parts,” sald Wragge, "the-daughte ‘of Sir Dudley's keeper—the mam wh fhas just brought her to the bank.” “Miss Maud Blair” had fainted, and John Grimes, clumsily trying to re- store her to consciousness, only recognized her as the cabinet min- ister and the detective drew near. “My God! {t'a our Sally,” broke trom the big man in velveteen. ‘The astonished cry: brought back Mr. Wommersiey's leading lady from shadowland, ‘The long-lashed eyes, which had been such an asset in many @ flm, fluttered open. But it was not upon the rugged face bend- ing over her that they settled. Thelr puzzled gaze passed John Grimes and fixed the right honorable gentleman who was #0 very, very gently being compelled by Inspector Wragge to toe the mark, “Hullo, Steve!” she sighed. “How are you, old boy? It’s nice of you to come and see mo die. Sympathy’s better than money when you've got to take your last call. Ob. my poor aldo!” For the fraction of a second the pressure of Inspector Wragge's hand on Mr. Colne's arm was not quite #0 gentle, but it relaxed immediately. “The Indy ought not to lle out here,” sald the detective with euthor- ity. "How about taking her to that cottage?” : “iSeeing as she's my darter that’s where T'm going to take her.” sald John Grimes through his clenched teeth, and ploking up the limp form as though ft were a feather, he bore it in his strong arms toward the red blind at the other side of the clearing. Mr. Fabian Wommersley end his satelites trailed behind. ‘Wragge appeared to hesitate for moment and then, without referring to the queer ‘words uttered by the injured woman to his illustrious com- panfon, he steered the latter toward the cottage. Mr. Colne's lips were twitehing, but he also ignored the familiar mode of address adopted to- ward him by one with whom he bad Just disavowed ® previous acquain- tance. It may be that he held it be- neath his dignity to notice seriously what might have been only the bab- blo of delirium, ‘Wragge halted on the fringe of the cinema people clustered at the cot- tage door. Again a brief indecision seemed to master him, and it was with an alr of Feluctance that he at last released the statesman's arm. “1¢ you will walt here, sir, X won't keep you a minute,” he sid. “Then we will resume the matter of procur- ing evidence agfinst Sir Dudley Glenlater.” ‘Wragge pushea bis way through ‘Wommersley's men and, passing into the cottage, entered the living room, whore “Mise Blair” had been laid on @ horsehair couch. The great Fe- bian was incoherently trying to ex: plain himself and his doings to the sirl's parents, who were bending over her and paying no heed to him. Her eyes were shining feverishly, but there was a glint of mischief in them as they rested on the inspector. “Hullo, here's the _ tec!” she shrilled. “The ‘tec that came mouch- ing atter-Simon. What have you done with the real villain of the plece, ola son—the blighter you were with outside? Don’t let him slip you, for you'll never eatch him again. tie kmows the game is ip, now that I'm knopked out, and I'm Jolly glad itis.” “I am sorry to” intrude,” said Wragge, addressing the keeper and his wife, “I am a detective officer from Scotland Yara and I want to ask your daughter two questions. I haye nothing whatever against her personally." John and Judith Grimes whispered to each other and stood aside. “Tt'l ease her consclence maybe, 1¢ ‘she's dying,” edld the keeper. ‘Wragge stooped down and put his questions—only-a few words to each. The first was answered at once with fa ‘tod and an {mpudent smile, ‘The second required longer reflection and ‘a painfully whispered sentence or two. : “Thank you, madam,” said the de- tective, rising. “You have greatly alded the cause of justice.” paoree caslioetercpelly 3 Ye Grey PAIS | CRANBERRIES ARE CHEAPER. “THIS YEAR.— MAYBE WE CAN AfFORD ONE / .

There's none to cheer the heart of children like our darling Mothers can.

After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicines and try be fore being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street. Richmond, Va I received your treatment O. K., and I have started to take it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my alliment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the bood. I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it is a great remedy. I do not suffer with my pains as I used to and my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the out-come".

The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimine self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
