Tho State does pot aik for a verdict of second de cree murder, but of first degTee murder against O. O. (Bed) Thomas for tho kill-J ing of Arthur J. Allen; h. V. taidweu otated in iiis speech before tho jury this afternoon. The statement waa nindo in reply to an argument by counsel for the defense this morning that Solicitor Clement, by telling tho jury that if they could not agree on a verdict of first de gree murder to render a verdiet of sec ond degree, meant that flic State saw it was losing its case, and had no grounds for a first degree verdiet. lit. Caldwell and T. D. Maness spoke this afternoon, each consuming mure than two hours. Only two more speeches are to be made, E. T. Cansler for the defense and L. T JTartscll for the Urate. These urgu- ments, together with tho judge's charge to tho jury, will probably consume all of j tomorrow s session of court, and the case: is not expected to bo given to the jury i before tomorrow night.

Jan. 27. Carl Oscar eterson, of Rockford, Ills., today is patient at the Cook county nospiiai fferini from leprosy. For five an he treated himself with patent edicines, thinking he had a skin di- se. "There is nothing remarkable a- out our accepting a leprous pau- nt." said Dr. Robert T. Vaugnan, superintendent of the hospital. "The Biblical reference, in the twelfth chapter of Numbers, has probably had much to do with the forming of the popular conception and fear of leprosy. You recall it reads: ' 'And behold, Myriam became lep rous, white as snow; and Aaron look ed upon Myriam, and behold ohe was leprous.' "Lepers are never 'vhite as snow.' The complexion is not- af fected by the disease. Myriam prob ably was afflicted with psoriasis, a harmless skin ailment." inin INTERRUPTIONS 1ILLY SUNDAY SPECIAL HAD Commerce auditorium, together with an occasional "feed" and social irnvtin OTAWniDH TRAIWIWfi were among the most important matters flllUillU I 11ll'MllU j transacted at an enthusiastic meeting of j J Oaston Post No. .'!, American Legion,!
