The case was called Wednesday morning and after consuming one and a half houra, a much shorter time than had been anticipated, a jury was selected. The bill of indictment was read by Solicitor Allsbrooks and the State put Mr. C. B. Hassell up as its first witness. Mr. Hassell stated tliat he and Mr. Godwin were co-partners in buying and selling stocks in rail roads, oil companies and automobiles. That they were equally interested in profits and that each man was to fur nish half of the capital and losses, that their operations begun ni 1019 ar.d run up to August, 1920. He stat ed that they borrowed money at Kin aton, Robersonvillc and Everetts put ting up either joint notes or his notes endorsed by Godwin. That he him self put up $9,()00.0() in cash. Thai when some of the banks which luid accomodated them called for payment Godwin matte him a loan on this ac count at The Peoples Dank of $4,000 That Godwin did not want it knowr. and would not have his name on pa per in the agreement. That in u month of July the prices of their holdings had so declined that they would .lave to be sold unless they put with their broker, J. Leon Wood, $2,000.00 and he asked Godwin if he wanted to continue and go further o: throw it up. Godwin said "Yes, draw a draft and 1 will pay it." The draft was drawn and paid at the Peoples Hunk. That later, in November of 1920, by virtue of further decline he was again called for $C,000.00; that he saw Godwin who instructed him to send check for the $2,000 and h would pay same. That the final loss on the speculation was $21,000.00. Mr. Hassell state dthat he had more t!ian paid hi shalf. On corss examination he said that the $9,000 cash furnish ed belonged to Fowilen and Hassell, of which he was bookkeeper and that he handled the Company's money at will. He i tated that they bought pea nuts and dealt in fertilirers and that he did not tell Fowden he was trad ing with Godwin until the money wn lost. Roy T. Griffin testified that he drew a check for Ed' Walston in the sum of $844.00 to pay a series of notet held by the Farmers and Merchant.- Bank which was executed and secured by deed of trust on land sold by Wal eton to Ben Biggs and that the check was delievered to C. H. Godwin t« 1 handed over to The Farmers and Mer chants Bank. Ben Biggs on cross examination. stated that he bought land from Ed Walston and that Walston gave a check to pay the notes held by the Farmers and Merchants Bank. But be found that thi check had been charged to Walston and the Peo ples Bank and the noixs had not been taken up. He saw Godwin with Dr. Biggs and Godwin told Dr. Biggs he would look the matter up and attend to it in a few days. Mr. Godwin did pay to Dr. Biggs the sum of $299.00 leaving a balance of $600.00 still due on his land.

L Little of Grimesland paid SBOO.OO on certain notes called Talley notes on May 6th, lIJ2Ol I J2O and thei same went to Godwin's credit and not to Mr. Little's account until February 1921, after Godwin had left, which meant that the bank lost the money.

He further stated that Godwin tried (o get him to help make some arrange ments whereby to get the papers out, in order to help him.

When justice is delayed* it invitefs evasion and losses, even when it finally arrives, most of its moral effect aa a deterrent. , The system in moet states makes] crime a fair (ramble for any malefac tor.. The chances of getting away with the worst cmiles are indefinite ly multiplied during the long period between the offense and the final de rision of the courts.

FORI) DEALERS OF DETROIT" STAGE BIG PARADE Detroit's 27 Ford dealers hit upon a unique method of demonstrating in a practice Iway to Detroit's public the versatility and many City uses of the Fordson tractor by staging a parade Thursday noon. The parade which was led by Miss Mary I'ercola, a Ford employe*, driv ing a pare white Fordson, ailing a trailer containing the Ford band; start ed from the Ford Motor Company's plant in Highland Park and proceed ed south the entire length of Wood ward Avenue to Jeflerson, then to Gratiot, Second avenue and Fort St., and was witnessed by thousands of interested spectators. All along the route the parade presented the aspect of an industrial tractor show on wheels, wtih the added advantage of displaying the tractor and equipment in- actual operation. One interesting feature of the pa rade was the fact that Miss Percola, until within an hour or so of the time of starting the parade, had never at tempted to drive a Ford Hon tractor and knew nothing whatever of the mechanism. This was pointed out by 'Ford dealers as demonstrating the ease with which the Fordson can be handled. And the fact that the pave ments were wet from Thursday morn ing's continuous drlzxle did not hin der the Fordsons in pulling their weighted-down trailers. Kach of the forty-two Fordson true tors making up the parade was equip ped with rubher tired wheels showing thei radaptabllity to city uses, and each was equipped with a heavily load ed trailer or other equipment showinjc a specific use of the tractor In the city. Neatly painted banners announc ed the tonnage of each load or named the operation performed by the equip ment. Although the Fordson weighs less than 8,000 pounds, one of them pull ed behind It two trailers carrying a net load of 28,000 pounds of gravel; another hauled two trailers piled high with lumber; and coupled to one Ford son was a 10,000 popnd load of coal. Although the Fordson comes from the River Rouge Plant equipped for farm duty, the subtsltutlon of rubber treaded wheels converts it into an laconomical power plant for either traction or belt power. The contrac tor may hal his various machinery and equipment to the scene of operations with the Fordson, unhitch and start running his concrete mixer, hoist li.nd leveler or other equipment with the same power. At the present time, the River Rouge plant is operating on a sche dule of 200 Fordson tractors a day, which is not sufficient to supply the demand. The recent price cut of the Fordson from |626 to 8396 brought in a flood of orders resulting in speed inf up ef production. Luke Rielly Says, "The Rat Died Be fore Reaching the River "Since moving near the river two] years ago, we've always used RAT SNAP«, Watched a vfclWs wsttr flat, nibbling at RAT-SNAP outside The house.
