The warm weather of the last few days was encouraging to everyone after a tough and rough three weeks of frigid winter, spring probably is still quite g” distance off, but it’s nice to have these springlike days after the frigid temperatures. o— —o Do you realize that in just a few weeks, schools of this area Will be having final examinations and then Commencement exercises. We don’t know just where the time goes, but it seems just yesterday that opening of school and the start of the fcgjtball season was here. o o—— Congressional committees have deferred action on pay television until they gather more information on the subject which is probably right. The big danger in having pay television is that within a year there will be so much pressure from manufacturers and broadcasting companies that we will be right back where we are now with lots of advertising and lots less entertainment than we •' hove now. o o One of these days, we’ll be starting our annual spring cleanup around the yard and will start getting our garden seeds together. Remember that regardless of what the catalogs say, you’ll get more satisfaction if you trade at home. These catalog merchants are like the house to house peddlers. They don’t always give you what you expect and by the time* 'you get an adjustment, if you do, the growing season will be over. o o Tickets are on sale for the annual farmers achievement dinner scheduled for the Berne auditorium March 2 with Dr. John W. Hicks, assistant to the president at Purdue University as the principal speaker. Tickets can be purchased from a half dozen ■ places in the including all three banks. Awards will be made and an interesting program is being planned. The tickets will sell for $1.50 each.

As we drive around on both state and county highways we see lots of beer bottles and cans strewn along the berms. This throwing of cans, bottles and other rubbish along the highways is a violation of the state law. Just a few years ago there was quite a drive on to keep our highways clean of rubbish. Apparently the drive has bogged down and wherever you go now you can see these unsightly berms. o o Friday night at midnight is the deadline for 1957 auto license tags in Indiana and there will be no extension. You must have your new plates attached to your car when you drive Saturday or you wil be liable to arrest. If you are a late applicant, remember you must show your tax receipt before you can get a new license This is a state law and cannot be changed at the branch office. ■ -o- — o The Big Ten basketball race is a dandy. Michigan State, Purdue and Indiana all have a chance to cope the title or at least a piece of it. Purdue, by its Monday night win voer Michigan State put the Boilermakers right back in con- ~ tention. Indiana had previously been almost ruled out, and then defeated at Columbus to remain in the thick of the scrap. It is one of the most hectic'in recent years and probably won’t be decided until the final round of games. o o Cigaret manufacturers are hitting numerous snags in their filter tip and other advertising. Many of the manufacturers are advertising the box or the fact you can light either end, rather than the product. As a result the > smoker is confused as to what to buy, because he hasn't any idea what grade of tobacco he is getting. What we need for the protection of the people is a standard price and a standard brand of merchandise. The manufacturers will still make plenty of money and there will be plenty left for the retailer.

r-"— CHAPTER T ~ IT WAS not until the night of October twelfth that Nora Pendleton knew someone wanted her to die. She thought she did not have an enemy in the world. She was young, wealthy, and tar more attractive, in spite of her acute shyness, than she realized. In an unobtrusive way, she had done a great deal of good. If she had done evil she was not conscious of it Only in her dreams was she aware' of a distrust of herself, a curious and corroding sense of guilt But now it Was late afternoon on October twelfth and so far she had never known fear for herself. Any moment now the telephone would ring and it would be over. Finn had promised to call as soon as a verdict was reached. Even if the news should be bad. But it couldn’t be bad. Innocent men are not convicted of murder. "Stuart” she called inher mind, “don’t worry, darling. It’s going to be all right You aren't alone in this. We’re fighting for you. We believe in you.” It wasn’t true. No one had believed in him but Nora herself. And Finley Black, of course. Though in the beginning he, too, had taken Stuart's guilt for granted, had refused to handle the defense, had even implored Nora to forget the man. “You are infatuated, my dear,” he had told her with a bluntness that no one else used in dealing with Nora Pendleton. “You don’t know anything about men. You’ve been brought up in cotton wool and insulated from life. You have too much money and too little knowledge of people. You've lived in a dream.” That, she remembered now, was the first time anyone had called attention to her dream world. It hadn’t seemed important then, either to Nora or to Finn himself who, with her Aunt Olive, had served as joint guardian until she came of age the year before. The year Candy Kendrick was murdered. "You’ve never had a chance to face reality,” Finn had gone on thqt day after Stuart Young had been arrested and taken away. "But the fact remains that the first time you met a man on your own hook you let your judgment become warped: got engaged after knowing him five weeks, changed your will to leave half of your estate to him and away from your own family, and now you want me to defend him on a murder charge.” She shook her head with gentle stubbornness. “He didn’t kill her. There was no reason tor killing her.” “There was every reason,” Finn Md grimly. “He had scraped up © 1957 by Rm Foley. Rcprit

an acquaintance with you, got engaged to you. And this girl was out to get him. If yoy found out about her, that would end his chance of getting the Pendleton money.” Nora had smiled’at him. "Don’t be angry, Finn. You can’t shake my faith *in Stuart. No one could.” The lawyer had turned on his heel and left the room. But in the end Finley Black had agreed to defend the man she loved, had even come to like him and believe in him. Surely the jury not take much longer to reach their verdict How could they have watched Stuart all these days and doubted him? How could they fail to realize that Cousin Charles had lied about seeing Stuart and Candy together shortly before the time, according to the medical reports, she was murdered? -JlThere had been other damning evidence too: a handkerchief with Stuart’s initials in the pocket of Candy’s slacks; an anonymous letter identifying tier murderer as Stuart Young. -Nora shivered and buttoned her cardigan with fingers that had grown thin during the months since Stuart's arrest. Shock and a chill had brought on pneumonia and since then she had never been well. Her physician had not allowed her to visit Stuart in jail or even to read the newspaper accounts of the case. It was Finn, at last, who had come a week ago to say that she was Stuart's only hope, and she had made her appearance in court to swear that he had been with her when Candy Kendrick’s body had been put in the lake. Slim, pale, eyes shadowed, face fined down by illness until she seemed more spirit than woman, she had taken the witness stand, met unflinchingly a battery of cameras and the crowd of morbidly curious spectators who filled the courtroom. She had answered Finn's deferential questions in a. clear voice, like a good child repeating a well-learned lesson. On the day of the murder she and Stuart Young had gone to the woods, taking a picnic lunch. They had built a fire, cooked the lunch and talked, planning for the future. AU afternoon Stuart had been out of her sight only for brief intervals while He gathered wood for the fire. “Had there been any publicity about your engagement?” Finn asked. “We had decided only the day before,” Nora explained. “No one knew except the people at the Inn: my mother's sister, Mrs. Olive Riddle: my father’s cousin, Mr. Charles Deming; his son. Frank; and the Hugers, distant ited by permission of Dodd, it cad & Ct

cousins of mine who run the inn.”, She thought then of Bert Huger. Only he, of all of them, admitted knowing the girl. “There was no one else at the inn ?” For, from the beginning, the inn at Stanleyville, Connecticut, had been important, the only place with which Candy Kendrick, a commercial artist, had had any contact during the few months she had lived in the village. She had given up her New York apartment and moved to the cottage late in May to escape the heat of the city. The inn telephone number was the only one found in her little cottage; it was in a box outside the riding stables that her letter had been discovered ; it was the inn’s private lake into which someone had dragged her body. “There was a Howard Ives,” Nora testified, “the local druggist who was spending a week there on his vacation. But he was the only outsider. Oh, and the two maids.” , “Have you terminated your engagement to the defendant?” Finn had asked. Before the prosecution could raise an objection Nora answered quickly, “Os course not. I will marry him as soon as he is free. You see, I know he is innocent.” Finn had been wise enough to ask no more questions. The prosecutor, although she was riot aware of it. handled her" Cautiously. Nora Pendleton, only child of the late Dan Pendleton, was not a witness to be browbeaten. He had simply stressed the fact that she was heiress to four million dollars, that she had known the defendant only a few weeks, that he, a former m’edical student, was not gainfully employed. And that he had everything to lose if Nora learned he had another girl on the string during their courtship. "You are trying|to" imply that Stuart is a fortune hunter," Nora had said. "It’s true Id known him onlj* a short time. He pulled me out of the lake when I wee drowning. He saved my life and he didn't even know who I was then.’’ She had turned her head for the first time, deliberately sought out Stuart where he sat beside Finn and his assistants. S'ie bad met his eyes and smiled, a snqile so radiant, so loving, so confident, that the prosecutor, with the gesture of a man who ccknowlcdges defeat, let her step down from the witness stand. Since then she had waited for the trial to wind v.p, waited for the jury to come back from their agonizingly long sc elusion. VZbr * was keeping them? J (To Be Qcmtiwxc J ) >.
