Jury llacl Keen 4 hit All INi^hl Hertford, Nov. G.- ? (iiiilly, after a nijrht of deliberation, was the verdict of the Perqui mans County jury which held in its hands the liberty of Mary Howard, so-called bob hailvd bandit, and Krnest Wade llartsell, two of :t ?|imr tel cluir^od with an attempt ed robbery on the ni^ht of July 20 of the home of Town scud Chappcll. blind country merchant of the Piney drove section of l'er?|uimans Coun ty. The other two mcmlxU's of the (|uartet, Sam Lou^ee and Lewis I'owell, pleaded guilty. Sentence had not boeii passed upon any oik- of the defendant* when tills newspaper Weill lit press.

Ernest Hart sell and Mary Howard won the sympathy of the crowd early in the trial and the general expectation when the judge had completed hi* chaise was that (tie Jury would net them free. The taking of testimony was concluded at 12:1.1. shortly before court adjourned yesterday for the noon recess. From 1:45 in the afternoon until f>:20 was taken up with argument by counsel, fol lowing which came Judge Cal vert's charge, which was conclud <d in leas than :?0 minutes. ( Virions Crowd Watts The case went to the jury yes terday afternoon at .r> : 4 fi o'clock, and until latr in the night a crowd of curious ones remained in the vicinity of the courthouse, await ing the verdict. There was much speculation as to what the out come would be. and more as to what would become of Mary How ard In either event. The girl is absolutely without money, and apparently has no friend* she can call upon for aid in her dintress. Hartsell. her com panion and driver of the ear on the night Townsend Chapped'* safe was unceremoniously yanked through his bedroom window, and dropped on the ground, ohviounly was in no position to nid her. bound or free. "What will become of Mary Howard if she Is acquitted?" This was a question that was often asked while the crowd awaited the verdict and there was none to an swer. Much sympathy for the girl had sprung Into being in the hours since Solicitor Small had wrung from her a weeping admis sion of her shame ? an admission that, apparently, had little l?ear ing on the case on trial. The solicitor's question, "Have you a child?" In the course of his cross examination yesterday plain ly came as a thunderbolt to Mary Howard. She caught her breath, then hurst Into a paroxysm of tears. For ten minutes the crowd In th< courtroom waited while sin strove to regain her composure. Then, through her tears, she ad mitted sin- had. Tells Wilful Story "Hasn't your child he. n taken from you Infnune of your cruelty to i:. and placed In a home in Norfolk?" llii- solicitor persisted. "No! No!" the girl answered In dlgnanfly. "I've taken care of iny hoy myself. I kept him In a pri vate home lu Norfolk, and paid Ills hoard until I got lu this mess." Obviously, she wasn't play-act ing. Months or years on the stage were forgotten In a mother's In stinctive Impulse lo shield her own. Then, bit by bit. she told the pitiful utory of her downfall, and _a great wave of sympathy surged over the courtroom. Argument* In the case began at the re-openlng of court yesterday afternoon. Carl Wlegand of Dur ham, young attorney who had come many mile* to defend Krn est Wade Harfaell and Mary Howard, made the first addrem for the defense. In clear, concise fashion he reviewed the testi mony. concluding with a forceful anpeal for the acquittal of his events. 1'. W.

In the three years. 1916 to 1Q18. number of births had do clined from 7G.6SS to 76.175, and In 1919 the number dropped to G9.791. . The next year. 1920 saw a big upward turn In the diagram, the total number of births In the state during 1920 being 8 ' ? 4 "J crease of nearly 12.00"- And 19.1 showed an Increase over the pre ceding year of more than <1.000. jlhe total number In 1921 being Blrfha In 1922 dropped hack to Ihe *1 thousand mark, but In 19 23 the number Jumped up to 84.190. and In 1924 to 87.0-3.

Caliph -elect of New York by virtue of the Tammany K'*nl * niQKlr, walks the streets of his own Jazzy little Bagdad today wi'!. more nice plums to distribute than Aladdin picked from the dwelled trees of the lamp iluv's cave. \ From the "dead rat" cafe or Geenwlch Village? around where the new mayor first saw the light of day forty-four years ago-- to the cabarets of the ilialto dis trict. the boys who knew, or claimed to have known Jimmy like a bosom pal in the old days when he was writing song lyrics, were sending In bids, directly or indirectly, for some of the Tam many Tiger's nice soft jobs. A lot of them cheered Tuesday night, when a radio announcer broadcast the announcement that "Vincent Lopez's orchestra will fnow play the soiik written by the ! new mayor of New York. "Will | You Love M?? in December as You , Do In May?". 1 Some of them wondered If ! Walker would, for May was a long time ago. twelve or thirteen years, to be exact. t Walker, victor over Prank D. I Waterman in Tuesday's election by a majority of something like 400.00U. Is. of course. Tammany's cub. and has run with the Tiger 'ill local ward politics and the state | Senate ever since his fangs be gan to show. Hut. although the Tammany Democratic organiza tion and the borough leaders of ten suggest or dictate appoint ments. it has recently been the custom to give the mayor a free hand lu the selection of his per sonal staff. He will be able to make at once at least a score of Important appointments, with sal aries ranging from $7,60(1 to $15,000 a year, and each of these appointees will be entitled to name from one to four deputies at salaries between $4,500 and % 10,000. Besides these, there are a host of small jobs to dish out. running the patronage list well lUp into six figures. ' Mayor Dylan ? a thorn in the Tammany orgauizatlon's pelt for a long, long time ? can do noth ing now. political wiseacres say, to save police Commissioner En right from the axe. Bright's job ? paying $10,000 a year now and probably to be even more profit able lu the future ? Is one of the most luscious plums on the pa tronage tree, but with a "crime wave" sweeping New York, it is likely to go to a man of proven ability as a thief catcher, rather than to a political favorite. Convicts up at Sing Sing who now are allowed to set up radio receivers in their cells and get their election news from the other Tuesday night will be tuning' for word of this appointment nightly.

The progrsm was put on by the fellowship commit tee of the club and both speak ers struck a responsive chord in the hearts Of their hearers, as was evidenced by the rising vote of thanks given them and by the large number who pressed for ward after the luncheon to shake ! their hands. Hotarlans are a busy lot, and most of them are In a hurry after euch luncheon to get back to busi ness. but. despite the general rls ; Ing vote of thanks. It seemed Fri day that no member of the club wanted to leave without express ing his appreciation personally to each of the s|?eakers. CHOWAN CHECK AKTIST ! GIVEN TERM ON KOADS Hertford. Nov. 6. ?
