Slight, fair and attractive, Rather-
Ine A. Fleming, of Avon, Ind., cousin
of State Senator Stephen B. Fl/rn
ing. the alleged sweetheart of Dr.
William B. Craig, and the woman
over whom the State charges the al
leged murder of Dr. Helen Knabe oc
curred, took the stand in the Knabe
murder trial to-day.
Miss Fleming frankly admitted co
the hundreds of curious and wide-
open ears in the crowded courtroom
that Dr. Craig has been keeping reg
ular company with her for nearly
three years, and that he has been a
regular caller at her home near Avon
during that time.
She also said Dr. Craig called on
her last Sunday afternoon. Teat
Craig had discussed marriage wth
her was admitted by Miss Fleming,
but she scoffed at the idea of an en •
gagement. She said she had J^nown
Craig for seventeen years.
"You’ll pardon me, but what is your
age?” tactfully asked the examining
attorney.
"I’m in my forty-second year,"
shvlv replied Miss Fleming.
Miss Fleming reluctantly admitted
she has had several conversations
with Dr. Craig since *the trial began.
Site said she had been to Fort Wayne,
recently, but denied she asked her
cousin. Stephen B. Fleming, to write
a letter to Attorney intnan.
Miss Fleming breathed a deep sigh
of relief as she was excused from the
witness stand.

Hundreds of Waists in a Huge Sale
We have not printed better waist news
since—well, we do not know when! But let’s
get to the gist of it instead of letting our
enthusiasm lead us.
It is what might be called a “composite”sale.
It is made up of waists we have just
captured at fine savings and of waists from
our own stocks.
It is at once a Chamberlin-Johnson-Du-
Bose Company Outclearing and a passing of
a fortunate “buy” on to our customers.
And here it is gift-buying time!
Any wonder at our enthusiasm?
The crowds will be large, do not dcubt
that, so early, please.

i he had become familiar with all sorts
of handwriting while soliciting sub
