"Now. nfter seven year of prosecu tiou of me and my wife, you are going to sentence me to death. “I've never been guilty, never.

He spoke in somewhat I better English than Sacco, 'but oe-1 ensionnlly broke into Itnlinn. He had ! a pile of notes, but for most part j disregarded them. “In all my. life,” he said, “I have J never stolen and never killed. I have i struggled all my life to eliminate the ! crime on earth. Everyone that knows. these two hands knows I have never j had to go out and steal and kill to get money. 1 can earn my living with these two hands.

Columbus, Ky., April o.—UP)—Flar ing torches beneath a sullen gray sky early today illuminated the lap ping waters of the Mississippi River, slowly seaping over a broken ICvee here. Every able-bodied man avail able toiled to the point of exhaustion to hold back the flood which had reached a level with the top of the levee’s lowest (mint. A part of the dyke broke away last night, sloughing into the turbid river directly in front of the town so that eaeh wave lapping against the bul wark drove a slow trickle across its barrier. Should a moderate wind spring up before hundreds of saml filled sacks are thrown into place, it is feared thnt the water will crash through to submerge the town to a depth of six feet. Early reports from other levee towns along the twisting length of the Mississippi indicated no immedi ate danger from the tremendous weight of rising waters. Families, however, were steadily moving their possessions to higher grounds, while engineers supervised the position of thousands of emergency sand bags to strengthen the threatened weaknesses. Any woman who is completely wrap ped up in herself is a bundle of con ceit. . THE STOCK MARKET Reported by Fera»*r & Beane. Closing Quotations.

The forgetfulness of drivers of in sured cars, who park their cars un locked and walk away with the feeling that the insurance company “can do the worrying,” has induced the Na tional Automobile Underwriters' Cons ferenee to withdraw recognition of locking devices in the writing of in surance. To meet the situation a new lock is being developed. ' The new lock is so designed Hint wheu the driver switches -off the igni tion to stop his engine be automatical ly locks the ear. Few drivers, insur ance companies find, are in the habit of forgetting that an engine needs gasoline to keep running. The break ing of the ignition circuit is almost a sub-conscious operation witli the average driver. The laboratories have recognized a number of locks so made that Hie . mechanism which breaks the circuit also locks the ear, but this lock is the first that performs both operations at the same time.

Tribune Bureau Sir YValter Hotel. Raleigh, April 9. —One hundred and forty-five automobiles were stolen in the state in March, and 100 stolen cars were recovered, 79 of the num ber being those stolen in March, ac cording to L. S. Harris, director of the motor theft bureau of the depart ment of revenue. YVbile the number of thefts has de creased some in the last few months, the number of cars stolen is still much too large, according to Harris. As a result of intensive work by the bureau in western North Carolina, in the. vicinity of Hendersonville and Asheville, there has been a decided decrease in the number of automobile thefts in that area. However, as long as Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina continue to have such lax registration laws, more thefts will continue in those sections of North Carolina nearest these other states, said r.
