| Albany, Ga,. Get. 30—The Rev.!

IN. Y., assistant rector of St. i
Theresa’s Roman Catholic church!
here, was found dead in the bath I
room of the rectory Thursday after-[:
noon and today a coroner’s jury re- :
turned a verdict that his death was
I the result of an excessively hot show
er bath. The verdict statead that the I
steami from the hot shower overcame
the priest and that he then was
scalded to death.
Father Bessemer was preparing to
attend a high school football game
and a friend who called for him a
few minutes before game time re- '
ceiving no response to knocks, enter
ed and found the priest dead in the
steam-filled bathroom-
Took Hot Baths.
At the coroner's inquest today
several friends and two physicians
testified that Father Bessemer was
accustomed to taking very hot baths.
The physicians said he had been
overcome by the excessive heaat and
the blood vessels of his body’ ex
panded until the blood rushed from
the brain and caused unconscious
ness. Death ensued then from scald
ing. they said.
Funeral services were held at the
Catholic rectory this afternoon and
the body was sent to Troy. N. Y.. 1
where Father Bessemer's mother

Judge and the Law-
Hit kory I>aTly Heeord.
Judge John Oglesby said the other
I day, “A county gets the kind of
law enforcement the citizenship
wants. That should be
kept constantly before the popula
tion of every county. Law enforce
ment cannot go contrary to public
sentiment. The shining example of
■that is the prohibition law. When
he citizenship of the county, state
or nation decides that it wants the
enforcement of prohibition, that will
mark the end of speculation and
aigumcnt. The law will be enforced.
(1 If we think it is a good law for the
p other fellow and a i>oor one for us.
r y\ve cannot expect enforcement. The
>aiuc rule applies to all other laws.
■" VA ’bounty, g<*ts the kind of law en

There is no do’ibt about that.

A sharp exclamation from Donati

ground. He stood holding his
right hand, which was bleeding.
And Jnan had drawn the cape back
from his face and snatched hie bat
from his head and stood there in

there was no mirth in his smile,
only a bitter humor.
“Pretty speeches sometimes—

Furiously Donati lunged towards
him. In that moment he would
have horn Juan to pieces with his

But torches, borne swiftly down the

with the whiteness of the moon,

in the now famous Hall-Mills <;a»e
when the murdett trial gets underway

Carpender, a cousin of the Halls, will
be tried later.
Suspicion was first directed at Mrs.
Hall shortly, after the bodies of her
husband and Sirs. Mills were found
shot to death underneath erabapple
tree in lie Hussey's lane on the out
skirts of New Brunswick on Thurs
day night. September 14. 1922. She
admitted to the authorities that she
was the woman in a polo coat seen
entering the side door of her home
in New Brunswick about 3 o’clock
in the morning of Friday, September
15, 1922.

Mills. “She said: ‘Did you have
any sickness "at your house last night?'

a ‘Neither did my wife.’ Like a Hash
