viction for grand larceny of Philip S.
Saitta, a lawyer, Judge bwann ana
the jury listened, fascinated, today by
the evidence which revealed an extra
ordinary psychological study of the
subjection of one man to the domina
tion of another; of a man named Sal
vator E. Gatto, who blindly followed
Saitta's dictation. So convincingly
was the story that Gatto told of his
career as iSaitta's slave that after the
jury had rendered its verdict Judge
Swann said: - '-
"Gatto palpably had become an au
tomaton under the influence of a mas
ter mind. Unquestionably he -has felt
the irresistible compulsion toj3Jerform
whatever -act he waB bidden to per

SOLDIERS' HOME NOT BLAMED.
Robeson Veteran Struck Comrade and
- Fel l Over, Death Following.
Raleigh, N. C, March 31. Investi
gation - by Coroner Separk following
the unusual death of John P.' McLen
don. Robeson county veteran, at the
Soldiers' Home, here Sunday, has re
vealed nothing to be charged against
tne management of the fnstitutioh
The evidence overwhelmingly estab
lishes the fact that McLendon, who
was a cripnieu inmate 01 tne nome
occupying a wheel chair, rolled up be
hind his' comrade, .James liay, struct
the latter with his cane and fell over,
death following in less than two hours.
Mr. Ray says McLendon struck him
twice but it appears that he did not
retaliate. It seems that McLendon
was given to fits of anger, and it is
believed that it was one of these that
caused the rupture of a blood vessel,
bringing death.

things about it is that most

the real meaning of this great

Time was when the ladies did
most of this sort of celebration of
the day; but now-a-days men are
making Easter their time for newr
clothes; and tt's a good idea, too.
Every man in this town who pre
tends to be well dressed, or to care
about his looks, should be dressed
