Sobs wracked his body. p “Why did Ido it?—l wish site was ’ with me now,” he murmured softly, tears coursing down his cheeks. 1 A formal charge of murder probably 1 will be lodged against Nesbitt today. ' His defense may be “temporary in: unity, super-induced by blinding rage, f L. 11. Shipman, Nesbitt's attorney, iu- : dicated. It \v;is a prolonged quarrel Hjat 3 found its climax in Mr* Nesbitt's doalh. "We hail quarreled for weeks.".de- * dared Nesbitt, who apparently had ' worked ceaselessly to solve tile baff- ’ ling crime “On the morning of Feb. 19, (,the day the murder was committed), we arose from bed. The quarrel' was renewed. She slapped me. I hit '' her with my own hand. She hit me ’ again and then everything went rod.”! 3 1 Nesbitt said he remembered nothing from then until he found himself ini the bathroom, his hands and pajamas *. covered with blood. Mrs. Nesbitt was lying in the half-filled batti tub. The 1 base of her skull was crushed. Tlie pajamas brought about Nesbitt's undoing. He hastened to the p furnace and burned them. On,the Wednesday night preceding the murder, [ Mr. and Mrs. Prentiss Brown, of ( • lumbus Grove, Ohio, had been house guests of the Nesbitts. Mrs. Brown had seen Nesbitt in the pajamas. They were a bright blue. When grilled. Nesbitt insi-ted he had [ slept in his underclothing—that ho had ) not worn pajamas.

Farm Radio Making Rapid Growth In U. S. There ate nearly to 1,096,000 radiu sets on farms in the United States, the Department oi Agriculture estimates in a report on the growth ofi farm radio during the past five years. I In some states, the department s iys, there are radio sets on 25 to 40 per cent of all farms. Estimates made by the department Jn 1923 showed 115,000 sets iu use ou farms at that, time: 365,000 sets in 1924. ami 553.OOOsets early in 1925. ! Increased power and improved broadcasting, together with better receiving sets, the department believes, “will [do much to aid in establishing the i permanency of the use of radio for the [benefit of agriculture. “One station alone in a period of three months broadcasting of market [and weather reports received more [than 3,000 letters of commendation from farmer'*, country banks, shippers of livestock, and small merchants in the towns in 12 agricultural states surrounding the station." Interference among stations may gradually he eliminated, the department believes, as many of the less active stations are beirfS: discontinued, and technical improvements are being I made in ltolh broadcasting and receiving equipment. Os 1.458 radio stations jot ail sizes licensed lo broadcast since broad asting began, only 530 were actrive ou January 1, tills year. [ The department lias mad arrangements with more than 100 stations for broadcasting ofifeial market news gathered by department representatives in leading shipping and consuming areas. Since the first of the year , the department lias made arrangements with about 60 stations to broadcast on a regular schedule four addu ■tioual services dealing with general agricultural information. Literally hundreds of stations have requested the privilege of handling the Government reports, but many of the requests have had to be refused, the [department says, because the stations are remote from the department’s market news branch offices.
