mother who killei in mad momen1 TAMPA, Fla.. May 13.?Mrs. Irene Sanders, 29, a tragic, but still attractive little figure in a new traveling outfit, walked out of the Circuit Courtroom here Saturday, free to pick up the broken threads of her life and forget if she ican, that night three years ago when her mad mind drove her to kill her three children and attempt to take her own life. Behind her she left three indictments for murder?one for each of her children. The indictments will continue hanging above her head as a sword the law may bring down at any time. Circuit Judge L. L. Parks and Harry N. Sandler took the recommendation of State Attorney Rex Farrior and the reports of physicians here and the Florida State Hospital for the insane and released her without bond at a sepcial session of court. From the courtroom she went straight to the railroad station and took a train, alone, for Oklahoma, City. There she will join her family. 1 It was the first time the slender hazel-eyed woman, estranged wife of \ a grocery clerk, had been free since Jan. 17, 1934. When she recover ! ed from the attempt to kill herself that night, she was taken to the State Hospital for the Insane. Released , there in January, 1937, she was re turned to the county jail here and held until the two judges* ordered j et her free Saturday. They took several minutes to j thumb through reports handed them j by Farrior. The woman to whom their decision meant so much could not hide her nervousness. She dabbed at her eyes with a hankerchicf. Ran a hand over her hair and look ed at the toes of her shiny new pumps The doctor's reports said she cculd not be held responsible for takinsr the i lives of her children. Judge Parks and Sandler asked; her only one question: Whteher she I felt able to make the trip alone. She ! murmured a hardly audible "Yes." In the cold impersonal language of the law, the state attorney's records alleged this to have happened. One night fearing death and illness the young mother?she was married when she was 18?gave her three children sleeping powder. The oldest was seven; the youngest a babe in arm*. She huddled them in her auto, mobile and drove into the country. Placing a blanket on the ground, she laid the sleeping youngsters out on it and shot them one by one, with a pistol. Then she turned the weapon on herself. But a nervous hand faltered, and the shot mis3ed her heart. o Tonsil Clinic A tonsil clinic to be held at the Petrie Hospital on May 23 and 24. Dr. A. C. Duncan, of iForest City, will be here to conduct it. Would like for those who intend to have tonsils removed to call for appointments.

May 13.?Undaunted bv a cold drizzling rain, throngs estimated at nearly 1,000,000 persons ( fought and jammed their way into c the streets between Buckingham i palace and Westminister Abbey I early Sunday morning to watch the i final rehearsal of the coronation pro- 1 cession. It was the show for the masses, i the chance for those who ican not witness Wednesday's brilliant spec- 1 tacle to get an idea of what the pro- < gress of King George VI and Queen t Elizabeth to their coronation will be like. < The outpouring was the largest -rowd in London since the funeral of J King George V 16 months ago, vast assortment of shivering bedraggled but happy human beings who cheered ' wildly at the sight of the empty gilded coach of state and the various mounted military contingents. It provided an excellent preview of the throngs that will swans. i through London on coronation day, three days off. That evening the poice had difficulty clearing a way through the London ; crowds for the King and queen as they returned by automobile from Windsor, where they had been rest- > ing for the arduous week ahead. j At the palace their majesties wel- < corned several royal guests arriving i from abroad for the coronation and t were nosts at an informal dinner at tended by visiting royalty and the king's brothers, the Duke of Gloucester and Kent, and their wives. Outside the palace gates about 30,000 persons gathered. Queen Maud of Norway and Queen Mother Mary, driving to the palace for the dinner, also had difficulty making a way through the throngs. Policemen commandeered a taxi oc- , cupied by three unidentified girls out sightseeing in order to lead a way for the two queens through the crush of traffic. The girls lowered the taxi's hood and stood on the back seat waving hats and handkerchiefs to the crowds evidently getting the thrill of a lifetime out of suich close proximity to two queens. Things Unusual Several hundred decently dressed men in New York City own no shirts but rent them from an ultra-modern laundry company at the rate of 50 cents weekly for the use of three shirts. A small reduction in the rnarge is maae to tnose wno U3e more than three a week. Customers like the serwice, wihich guarantees a clean shirt with all buttons in place when wanted. Recently a news dispatch told of an Ohio professional parachute jumper who had made 2,226 leaps from airplanes without an accident. He got into the news only through being badly hurt when he fell from an automobile trailer. If one is restless and his bed is near an upper story open window it is a good idea to hug a pillow. By doing so Richard Griffith of Baltimore escaped with only minor bruises when he rolled out of a third floor Sunday in At rrhpKH METHODIST W. Arthur Barber Pastor i < Rev. W.
