MURDER CASE

ial couple. Mrs. Mathewson, he
said, was 19 years old. Other wit
nesses, including Charlie Riddle,
cafe employe who had lived with
the Mathewsons for several months,
also said they regarded the Math
ewsons as congenial.
Balby N ow D>ead
It w'as revealed in testimony of
Mrs. Cole Ghormley, of Robbins-
ville, another state witness, that the
Mathewson baby had died some
time after the slaying of its mother.
Witness Jailed
Judge Harding ordered Carter
Riddle, a brother of Charlie Riddle
and also employed by Mathewson
in the cafe, sent to jail when he
refused to answer a question put
by a state’s attorney whether he
had sold liquor in the cafe. Carter,
a defense witness, had previously
testified that in his opinion Math
ewson was insane.
A number of other defense wit-
nes&es also expressed opinions that
Mathewson was mentally unbalanc
ed. Among these was the defend
ant’s father, the Rev. W. B. Math
ewson, 64-year-old Methodist min
ister, who said his sons
father, great-grandfather and a
great-uncle had become insane. e
also said his son, who 'had been
previously married and divorced,
frequently had a wild look in his
eyes and was a heavy drinker.
Dr. W. C. Morrow, of Andrews,
who failed to qualify as a psychi
atrist but who said he had made
a special study of mental diseases
for 27 years, expressed the opin
ion that Mathewson was a paranoiac.
The state introfluccd several wit
nesses at the conclusion of the trial
to refute the defense testimony
regarding insanity.

OF R1 CROSS
(Continued from Page One)
in service for ottiers, in health of
mind and body to fit us for better
service, and worldwide fi'iendship.
For this reason we are joining the
American Junior Red Cross. We
will help make its work successful
in our school and community, and
will work together with Juniors
everywhere in our own and other
lands.”
In an effort to cut down the
amazing total of more than 30,000
fatalities resulting from accidents
in the home each year, the Red
Cross has taken steps lo eliminate
hazards from millions of homes.
Last year 10,000,000 American
homes were self-inspected as a re
sult of this campaign, and a simi
lar program will be pushed this
year. Through education and in
spection, farm work mishaps are
also being minimized.
And so the American Red Cross
N0V,1
brings to America the benefit of its
organized effort to make life saner,
healthier and happier. Red Cross
resources and organization reach
into hundreds of communities meet
ing need where need is greatest.
The need for the Red Cross is
greater than ever' before. Prevent
able accidents of certain types are
increasing; disease and epidemic
spread their blight over new areas;
nature on the rampage haunts fa
miliar places and strikes where she
has not struck before. With justi
fiable pride the Red Cross points
to past accomplishments and urges
new memberships so that its works
of mercy may be geared to the
increasing need. Read«r, if you have
NOT joined, do so NOW.
