Abram Walker, who resides at 713 N. 4th Street testified that on the Sunday in question he was standing on Second St., just across the street from the Richmond Athletic Club, when Charles Smith came up to him and asked him to loan him a knife. He asked another man to loan him one, but he did not get it from either party. He then walked across the street and drew a bottle from his right hand pocket. BRANCH WAS TALKING. Branch was standing on the corner talking. When he was within two or three feet of Branch, he threw the bottle and ran east on Jackson Street. Branch was standing in the center of the sidewalk on Second Street. Other men were standing in the doorway and around on Jackson Street. Branch was talking to Norman Robinson. He heard Branch ask, "Who hit me?" He did not tell of the happening to any one that he told him before Walker the next Monday. He told two fellows at the garage one of whom was named Taylor.

He said he would not have come there if you had not sent for me. Smith came out of the room after Branch left and said he would get Branch, if it was the last thing he did. Irene Mitchell said that Abraham Walker married her mother. She had been to Irene Hebron's apartment once before to have her hair dressed. Dorothy Mitchell said, "I came by Irene's to use the telephone to call a fellow to come for me. It was between half past six and seven o'clock. This fellow Charley was in there. Branch was not in there at first, but he came in afterwards. Irene and Branch got to fussing." IRENE CURSED BRANCH. "Irene cursed him and he started to smack her.

Organ arrested Smith on the testimony of ewitnesses. He was arrested at 904 7 N. Sixth Street, April 9, 1927 at about 2 A. M.

Fourth Street testified: "I saw the man, who struck Branch. I was coming down Second Street between 7 and 7:30 o'clock April 3rd. As I got there some one hit Branch over the head with a bottle. A part of the class fell on my shoulder. A TALL MAN. "The man who hit him was tailed and wore a light cap. I was on my way home. I had an engagement to get to the church at 8 o'clock. It was not Charles Smith. I have known Smith about 5 years. When Branch asked who hit him, I told him it was a tall man with a light cap. Mr. Bullock and John Price were standing in the vestibule of the Richmond Athletic Club Irene Hebron who lives at 306 A. E. Clay Street testified: "The girls were in my house that Sunday afternoon. They used the telephone and called up a gentleman to come after them." CAME TO SEE SON. While they were waiting, Mr. Branch came in. Branch came by to see my son. My son was working for him. When he was going out the man came in. Branch had no fuss with me. There was no man in there. I do not know Charles Smith. I have never seen him be fore in my life to know him. Then Attorney Dave Satterfield proceeded to cross examine the witness. He brought out the information that she was separated from her husband and had been shot as a result of trouble with him. THAT WOUNDED HAND. He requested her to show one of her hands to the jury and one half of her little finger had been shot off. Her husband was arrested.

A Dr. Mota Lewis deliver a fine address on Health at the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday. It was rich and rare. General Secretary Scott C. Burrell carried the baseball nine of Virginia Union University over to the Penitentiary to cross bats with the crack team of inmates. The Unionites made the Inmates know what a goose egg tags like—shutting them out for nine innings; a hard thing for any team to do over there, as there is counterfeit money. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1927 The funeral services of Dabney Hardy were held at Wainwright and Company, establishments, Saturday May 14 1927, New York, N. Y.

Rev. John L. Slaughter, pastor of Leigh Street Baptist Church (white) will preach a special sermon Sunday 3:30 P. M. at the Fourth Baptist Church, 28th and P Streets. His choir and congregation have been invited. THE STORY OF JACOB Rev. Junius L. Taylor Delivers Sermon--St. Philip's P. E. Church Progressing. Rev. Junius L. Taylor, Rector of St. Philips P. E. Church delivered an impressive sermon Sunday morning. Arrowing at the churca edifice at 11 o'clock, the preliminary exercises were soon under way and then this popular divine spoke from Genesis, 32nd chapter. It was the story of Jacob and his covenant with God. He dealt also with Esau, placing him in a most favorable light and in bringing the subject matter home impressed upon all the necessity of the believer renewing his covenant with God. A COMPARISON He spoke of Esau being strong physically, and used the biblical expression, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." Jacob was the robber of his brother's birth-right. Great visions come, but we are not willing to make the sacrifice. There is a steady growth of young people in this Church. PLANS FOR TEMPLE. He described the finding of a location to build the temple. This Church is unique and attractive in many respects, being composed of many of the brightest minds in the city. The strictest observance of Episcopal customs and usages is observable and the order is perfect. The choir is one of the best in the city. The collections keep up to the standard. MUCH MONEY RAISED. In the preliminary exercises, Rev. Taylor had announced the notices. Dr. D. A. Ferguson, who is instructor of one of the largest classes in the Church announced that through the efforts of members of that body $400.00 had been raised directly and indirectly and this amount had been sent to the Mississippi flood sufferers. To my surprise Rev. Taylor paid a glowing tribute to our past labors and invited me to say a word to the communicants. As this was the first time in my life that I had ever spoken in an Episcopal Church during the services, I spoke. THAT FUNERAL DISCOURSE. Later, Rev. Junius L. Taylor delivered an extended funeral discourse at the First Presbyterian Church over the remains of David R. Dawson, at 1 P. M. Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr. had charge of the remains. FISK MUSICAL AND EDUCATION AL PROGRAM AT FENEZER CHURCH, MAY 30. The citizens of Richmond, Virginia will have an unusual opportunity to hear the Fisk University quartette and Rev. C. W. Kelly, Field Representative of the University at Ebenezer Baptist Church on May 30, 1927. The quartette, besides filling several concert engagement's successfully this season, is one of the most demanded performers of Nashville Radio programs and the reputation of being one of the best musical clubs sponsored by Fisk in many years. Rev. C. W. Kelly, an alumnus of Fisk and a teacher in the Phelps Hall Bible Training School of Tuskegee, Alabama, will be with the quartette and will give an address on "The New Fisk." Mr. Kelly has been on two extensive tours, with the new President, Thomas E. Jones this winter and is well informed in regard to the dreams, plans and policies of Dr. Jones. He will set forth, in a most forceful way, the program now being worked out to develop Fisk into a graduate institution for the training of the co-ored youth of America. Those closest to Fisk feel that this College is on the eve of a vast expansion and an abundant new life. Already applications for enrollment for next year exceed by several hundred the available accommodations. A national interest in the new program at Fisk is being manifested and everywhere that President Jones has been, in the busy months since he assumed charge of Fisk, he has been greeted by large and sympathetic audiences who hall him as the leader of a new, more thorough and more progressive educational program. Undoubtedly the Quartette and Mr. Kelly will be greeted by a large audience in this city, anxious to evidence their interest in the "New Fisk". IMPRESSIVE SERMON AT MOORE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. Can the dead be indicted? Surely those who heard Rev. Gordon B. Hancock on Sunday morning will agree that the dead together with the living are indicted. After having listened to such an impressive sermon as the one preached by our pastor, on duty-dodgers, and tight-wads, without a doubt the community will have a different attitude toward the Union Harshorn Campaign and the Community Hospital Campaign, which have just begun. Both of these institutions are worthy of help but unless the community does its duty they will go lacking. In other words they cannot exist without finance. Here the duty-dodgers find ample work to do to help make these campaigns a success. Tight-wads, as styled by our pastor, are the stingy loathsome animals who hang on to any good work and give excuses for their negligence. The plan goes out to these in the name of the Lord, asking them to leosen up. May these tight-wads feel it their indispensable duty to help not only their families and church, to but give liberally to the above named institutions for the sake of generations to come.

ELAM BAPTIST CHURCH RAISES $1726.11—GREAT COOPERATION BETWEEN PASTOR FISHER AND CONGREGATION. On Sunday, May 22, $1726.11 was laid on the collection table at Elam Baptist Church Ruthville, Va., thus making the greatest single financial effort in the one hundred twenty seven years history of that church and probably in any rural church in the State of Virginia. The occasion drew together a course of people from many surrounding counties as well as prominent citizens from Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk and Newport News. Music was furnished by Miss Id Williams, Mrs. Mattie Harris, Charles Price and the choir of the Fourth Baptist Church. Mr. A. W. Dandridge gave two choice readings. Dr. Samuel Brown grandson of one of the founders of Elam Church and pastor of the Gliffield Baptist Church Petersburg, preached an excellent sermon on "Faith." Elam Baptist Church, itself a producer of men and women of distinction scattered throughout Virginia and from California to Massachusetts, has now a membership of less than one hundred families, but all of them cooperated in this their greatest effort. Those persons who led in the Rally as Captains, include Misses Mamie Cotman and Cordella Franklin; Mames dames Leniora B. Bowman, Anna B. Brown, E. Brown, Marha D. Brown, Estella C.

BOB PHILIPS LAID TO REST. The funeral of Mr. Robert (Bob) Phillips was held from the residence of his mother, Mrs. Maria L. Phillips, 810 N. Fifth Street, Tuesday at 3 P. M. Rev. Junius L. Taylor, rector of St. Phillips P. E. Church paid a loving tribute to the life and character of the deceased. Music was furnished by St. Phillips Choir. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers, among them being many designs from Huntington, W. Va., where Bob had been a resident for quite a number of years. He leaves a devoted wife, mother, three sisters and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. His remains were conveyed to Woodland Cemetery with Mr. A. D. Price as undertaker. The casket was borne by former playmates of Bob's during the days of his childhood here in Richmond especially in his old neighborhood on North Third Street, about the time of the turn of the century. Among the out-of-town friends who attended the funeral were Messrs. James Cabell, of Huntington, W. Va. and Mr. Willie (Funky) Crump of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.

Albert T. Reid AUTOCASTER $9888 TICK two PHILADELPHIA—Value of time in the United States has increased 100 percent since 1914, according to Warner S. Hays, secretary of the Clock manufacturers' Association of America, in an address here. "Life is worth twice as much in this country as it was before the 'World War,'" said Mr. Hays. "There are two ways of judging the value of life. One is by what a man produces and the other is by what he receives, according to either measurement, living is twice as desirable now in America as it was thirteen years ago. "In 1913 the average worker's pay, on messenger boy to bank president, was six-centes of a cent a minute. Now the average is one and one-third cents a minute. Every working day is worth $28,199,048. Every clock tick of a working day means $9,884. The value of time has multiplied the number of clocks and the bigger and more important a man or woman to the more timepieces he or she has. How the value of time has speeded up is shown by the fact that in 1915 42,500,000 workers in America produced wealth to the amount of $32,000,000,000. Last year 5 per cent more workers produced nearly $90,000,000,000. "Making the fullest allowance for difference in the value of the dollar there is twice as much wealth in America to be distributed among its fortunate inhabitants as in 1914 in the worker of every class has his seat at the table."

Zybach, 32, farmer of Grand Island, Neb. didn't like the idea of riding all day on a plow so he invented a simple device to automatically guide the tractor—while he sits in the shade. It is fool-proof. The minute the tractor gets out of the furrow a spring shuts off the ignition. Now a Lincoln, Neb. plow manufacturer is backing Mr. Zybach.

The candy has been donated by Otto Y. Schnering, president of the Baby Ruth Candy company of Chicago. "Doc Cook's famous gum-drops," said Commander McMillan, in a letter of thanks to Mr. Schnering, "seem to have developed a pronounced sweet tooth among the Eskimos.

"The great Fort Norman oil field is said to be capable of answering America's total fuel and illumination, requirements for many years," said C. U.

"Added to the already great over-production of fuel oil in the United States, it removes all doubt as to a permanent, low-cost supply of fuel oil for the fast-growing army of builders who are abandoning old-fashioned fuel and heating methods. Dr. T. O.

Trouble was in this world in the beginning and it will be here until the end—of time. Success lies in the direction of doing things that the average person believes cannot be done. Most people believe in seeking a residence on Easy Street. When they get there, they find all of their neighbors made up of failures. The Democratic leaders are having a hard time of it. They have but one available candidate. Al Smith and they are apparently afraid to nominate him. It seems time for Harry Flood Byrd to "shy his caster in the ring." Charles A. Lindbergh's trip from San Diego, Calif., to Paris has won the admiration of the whole civilized world. The first part of the trip was made with two stops, St. Louis and New York and on the last lap he made a continuous journey. President Coolidge is showing wisdom and is doing the best he can. There are some other things he might do—release Marcus Garvey, and admit colored citizens to the training camps of the country. One colored youth in one camp would make no difference. They can get in there—as servants, but not as citizens. O. the pity of it. WORLD'S GOSPEL FEAST PARTY AT FIREHISTORY BAPTISM "We have come to work! We have come to represent God!" was the statement of Dr. G. Wilson Beckon, when our pastor presented "The World's Gospel Feast Party" in the opening of a revival campaign Sunday morning.

This she seriously denied ROOMED THERE. Mrs. Bertania Miller stated that Charles Smith roomed with her and had done so for 5 or 6 years. She had been visiting that afternoon next door until 6 o'clock. Charles Smith came in and went upairs and finished dressing. We went to church and got out at half past nine. We completed supper about a little after e seven o'clock. My husband and this boy washed dishes. I have never seen him with a light cap. He has a light gray hat. She identified the light hat as belonging to him and as being the one he wore that Sunday. THE HUSBAND'S STATEMENT. He had been working right along. He works for Mrs. Allan Tabtow. Samuel Miller said, "I live at 904 A N. Sixth Street and I am the husband of Berania Miller. I am 47 years of age. I work at the St. Luke Hospital, Sunday, about 3.

A large per cent of the members rallied well. We must raise $1000 more by the coming Sunday to pay off all minor obligations and clear the way for the big rally in July when we must raise $9000. Dr. Morris is very anxiously pleading that every member and friend will keep their shoulders to the wheel while we are passing through the most strenuous period we shall ever have to face. Last Sunday night the Independent Beneficial Club held their memorial service. Rev. Dr. Becton used for his subject, Is the Future State of the Soul One of Conscious Existence? It was a great sermon on the immortality of the soul. Don't miss the services of the The World's Gospel Feast Party all the week and all day the coming Sunday.

The people in this community are and Clay Streets and saw Charles Smith there about 20 minutes to 3 o'clock that Sunday afternoon. ATTORNEY ENGLISH ACTIVE. Charles Smith denied all knowledge of the affair and claimed that he had never been to Irene Hebron's house. After he left the stand, an attempt was made to introduce character witnesses, but under the strenuous objections of Commonwealth's Attorney Satterfield the attempt was abandoned. Attorney Edgar B. English ably and skillfully conducted the cross-examination of the witnesses. The question as to the submission of the case to the jury without argument was then considered and Attorneys English and Moss were in a quandary. WOULDN'T TAKE THE CHANCE. They consulted the friends of the accused. It was considered inadvisible to take a chance at the raplier-like thrusts of Attorney Dave E. Satterfield, who has a convincing way of addressing a jury. It was nearly 6 P. M. Wednesday when the jury retired with the able, clear, lucid instructions of His Honor, W. Kirk Mathews. No verdict came and on Thursday morning the jury was discharged, the body standing 10 to 2 for acquittal. Smith was bailed with John H. Braxton as surely. MT.

Record Breaking Achievement--Mrs. Josephine Brown of Newport News, Va., the Beneficiary. When Due, the Money Was There. UNION LIFE INS. CO. Have You Just Insurance, or REAL INSURANCE PROTECTION? NO QUIBBLING on JUST CLAIMS If Not, See Our Agent To-day. The following extract from the Newport News, Va. Star will astound the insuring public and awaken interest everywhere. What is said to be the record for paying sick claims in Virginia has just been brought to light through the death of Mrs. Josephine Brown of 530 Eighteenth Street. Mrs. Brown was a member of five insurance companies, it is stated, one of them being the Union Life Insurance Company, with headquarters in Richmond, Va. The Newport News office is in charge of Mr. I. L. Wormom. After Mrs. Brown had been incapacitated for work for thirteen weeks with paralysis, it is said that four of the companies to which she teleloved ceased to pay her; but the Union Life continued to pay her up to the time of her death last week. In all she received from Union Life $1,542.00 for a total of 257 weeks at the rate of $6.00 per week. This claim was paid every week, at the time it was due, and never once was Mrs. Brown given cause for complaint. She was loud in praise of the treatment accorded her by the company and recommended it to all of her friends who contemplated taking out insurance. Union Life Insurance Comp'y. Home Office, Law Building, 7th Floor, 8th and Main Sts. Richmond, Virginia. Union Life carries an attractive number of policies and has a lucrative business in Newport News and on the peninsula. The company offers the 10-pay life, 10-year endowment, 20-year endowment, ordinary life, and 52-weeks sick benefit policies. Its representatives are polite and courteous, and are ever ready to render the very best service possible to its policy-holders. The record made by Union Life in the case of Mrs. Brown alone is enough to recommend it to the people of this community, and it is predicted that this will go a long way toward causing many others to join the company.
