They brought out in Dr. J. W.

cian’s opinion that the aged man did
not come to his death through poison

body might very easily have been

Dr. Hurt said that he was con

“Uncle Josh" Crawford during his
last illness, and who took the stand
Monday in behalf of Mrs. Mary Belle
Crawford, his widow, who Is charged
with his death.
Miss Townsend
her smile, which was caught un- j
a wares by a Georgian photographer,
is of the kind that must serve as a
| wonderful tonic for her patients.
“But 1 don’t like to go on the wit-
j ness stand; every time 1 do I have
(to go home and have a cry, and it
j upsets me for a day or two." she said
1 when asked how she liked to be a
I witness.
“No one relishes the idea of being
j haled into court. Then the way the
I lawyers look at you and ask you quee-
1 tions is enough to run a body crazy.
; Every time 1 am called as a witness
I have to go home afterwards and
; shut myself up in my room and just
1 give way."
The testimony of Miss Townsend
corroborated that of County Physl-
I clan J. W. Hurt, who attended Mr.
Crawford. She is quite positive that
the wealthy and aged farmer came to
his death through natural causes and
not as the result of poisons, which
his relatives charge were administer-
! ed to him.
| She told of him taking the cough
medicine prescribed to relieve him of
a very painful cough aqd of admin
istering a hypodermic under the doc
tor’s instructions several hours be
fore Mr. Crawford’s death
“He displayed absolutely no symp
toms of poisoning,’’ was her declara
tion.

Colonel J. S. James, attorney for
the heirs, said Tuesday that recent
investigations had revealed to him
more conclusive evidence of a plot
between Mrs. Crawford and Lumb
than he had possessed before.
He declared that he would seek to
j prove that Lumb and Mrs Crawford
j really were engaged to be married
while in St. Augustine, where Mrs.
Crawford, then Mrs. Savage, con
ducted a hotel.

That this marriage was postponed

Crowd Cheers Knife
Duel to the Death by
Glare of Coke Oven
UNIONTOWN, PA., Dec. 2.—With
only the glare from the coke oven
men fought a duel with knives at the
fires to guide their movements, two

A crowd of spectators urging them
on, the men battled until John Jones
went down with a deep thrust through
his abdomen and another through the
right lung. John Bokoff, the other
principal, a few minutes later gave a
queer sob and crumpled up.

called Night Shade,’ ” Miss Dixon
says in her essay, and goes on to
treat the topic with a fine and dis
criminating evidence of study and
real knowledge. To show that the
knowledge was not theoretical mere
ly, she mentions the fact that the net
profit from the tomatoes grown on
her tenth of an acre was $57—at the
rate of $570 an acre, and it was ex
plained by the agent that the profits
had been figured on the government
rating of 80 cents a dozen for the
cans, whereas most of the club mem
bers easily realized 10 cents a can
"straight."
The labels all bear the Fayette
County Club’s brand-mark. the
“4-H“ brand, it is called; the four
H’s standing for “head, hand, heart
and health." And that is so popu
lar a brand down in Fayette County
that the demand was far In excess of
the supply, although many of the
members put up more than 1,000 cans
of vegetables.
Then there were fruits and vegeta
bles, and delectable conceits in pick
les and such things, all in clear glass
jars, and all beautifully preserved—■
any discriminating eye could see that
there was care and devoted attention
packed in every Jar and attached to
every label.
