It will be warmer July 4 and maybe then we'll appreciate chillier weather. 0 O— Decatur had a touch of vandalism last week and some ruffians broke into the Decatur high school building. There was considerable damage to the building and three Vindows were broken out. Apparently it was amateurs because a poor job was done and the thieves left without gaining access to the safe. School officials have some good clues and it is believed the culprits will be caught. ——o o One more week-end of basketball and the state champion will be crowned. Then Hoosiers will settle down and maybe think a little about the coming primary election. So for there has been a decided lack of interest and few candidates. Those who plan to seek office have ten days yet tS file their intentions and there is some indication that a few more ___ aspirants will file declarations. ——o o The state oratorical contest of the American Legion is scheduled for Decatur high school on the afternoon of March 21, it has been announced and the affair will be open to the public. There will be four entries in the state finals, according to Hugh Andrews, principal of Decatur high school and chairman for the state event. Winner will represent Indiana in the annual national contest. You will hear four of Indiana’s finest young orators and attendance will be well worth while. It’s open to the public and no admission charge will be made. o— — 0 " We can’t see that the Senate is making any friends by holding up measures which might ease away the depression. It is generally agreed that by now the depression or recession or whatever you want to call it needs some artificial help to bring our economy back and we certainly need an improved economy soon or we’ll be headed into a Hoover depression and that's not good.

Dale Morrissey and Dr. Ralph Allison, co-chairmen of the membership drive of the Chamber of Commerce, are doing a great job and certainly deserve everybody’s support. We will have the strongest Chamber that we've had in years and of course the first requisite for a good business group is a near 100 per cent membership. Next is to have every member working in some phase of the work.. We believe that this year will be one of our finest and by the end of the year we should have a program mapped out and started which will mean added growth to our city. ——o~—o— — Three prominent Decatur professional men, Dr. Harold Zwick, Dr. William Freeby and Dr. John Spaulding, the latter a dentist, have started work on Decatur’s first clinic. The building is being constructed on South Second street and will be completed in about two months. It will be modern in every respect, with a large general lobby, and each doctor will have his own suite o( offices. The new struction has been started on the vacant lot, just south of the Ideal restaurant, formerly used as a city parking lot. We are glad to see this fine improvement in Decatur and we wish each of the participants continued success which we are sure they will have. s 0 O In another two or three weeks work will start on “cleaning up Decatur, especially on the outside. There will be painting, yard improvements, street improvements and the like. We’d like to call attention to an unsightly condition on U. S. 27 where the state highway department dumps its gravel and also keeps some machinery. Certainly it wouldn’t tee asking too much to have the state get another spot for this operation. We know it takes, stone and gravel for the highways, but couldn’t it be placed out of sight? It seems that the state department is looking for the easiest way out. *

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Nora Pendleton knew someone wanted her to die! Until the night of October L2th. she had never known fear tor herself. She had never had a care In the world until she met Stuart Toung. an unemployed former medical student. Within five weeks they were engaged. Then Stuart was arrested tor tire murder of a young girl Candy” Kendrick. Nora's friends and kin believed Stuart to be guilty. But they had also thought him to be a fortune hunter, interested in Nora because of her wealth. Nora had testified at Stuart's trial that he had been with tier on a picnic at the time Candy was killed. But Nora s cousin, Charles Deming, swore that he had seen Stuart and Candy together fust before the supposed time of the crime. The murder happened near the Connecticut inn run by Bert and Hazel Huger, distant cousins of Nora's. Charles' young son. Frank, was there: and the local druggist, Howard Ives; and Nora’s aunt Olive Riddle, who had served with Lawyer "Finn" Biack as Nora’s guardian. As the story continues. Stuart has heen acquitted and police have reopened the case. Nora was sent a disturbing reminder ot the crime—a photograph of a laughing girl signed 'Love from Candy.” That night, it disappeared from tier hiding place for it. and someone tried to smother her while she slept She secretly phoned an old. trusted friend, Hiram Potter, for help. He arranged a meeting with Captain Foote of the Connecticut State Police, who has filled in Mr. Potter on the details. They are reviewing the crime now. . . . CHAPTER 12 “'T’HE day after the murder, the 1 case became more than a local crime,” Captain Foote explained to Mr. Potter, "and city reporters began flocking into Stanleyville. For that was the day when an anonymous letter reached the State Police, identifying Candy’s lover as Stuart Young, the fiance of Nora Pendleton. The. . Pendletons were news and from then on the thing was a three-ring circus.” He pulled out his papers, selected one and handed it to Mr. Potter. It was a photbstat of a sheet from a scratch pad on which printed letters had been pasted. It read: "The Initials S. Y. stand for Stuart Young. He was Candy Kendrick’s lover. He murdered her.” s "We still don't know who sent that letter." Foote said. Young had been brought in for questioning and had denied knowing the girl. But, in view of the anonymous letter, he declared someone was framing him. He could not have killed the girl. He had been on a picnic with his fiancee at the time of the murder. It sounded good. Young sounded good, straightforward and more puzzled than scared. But then Charles Deming’s testimony put the lid on it and Young was charged with murder. When she was told of what had happened. Nora Pendleton had got Finley Black to represent him and had, Foote understood, paid for the defense. Unfortunately,

■ .-.1. , I port was filed, examined, and approved. A verified petition to pay expenses was filed. The order on the petition to pay expenses was filed.

before the police could question i her, she had been taken to: the , hospital with pneumonia, delirious 1 and unable to testify. "But why didn't she stop the thing before the case went to trial—back up his alibi?" The State Trooper shrugged. "One of the advantages of being rich," he said without bitterness, merely an acceptance of the way things are. "You don’t get pushed around. Even when she began to recuperate, her physician refused to allow her to be questioned. In her shocked conditio- any further strain might well induce a serious mental disturbance. That’s what he said." “Somehow 1 get the feeling that Young was jockeyed into ' this position and Nora ’was kept out deliberately.” Foote nodded thoughtfully. Finley Black, the attorney for the defense, had used delaying tactics to postpone the trial as long as he could. Obviously he was waiting tor Nor, to recuperate. For in the end it was Nora Pendleton who had saved Stuart Young by backing his alibi. “So far as 1 can make out,” : the Captain said. “Black ran himself ragged trying to break down ' Deming’s evidence. But Deming 1 stuck to his guns. About the only point that registered against him was that Nora Pendleton had changed her will, in which he i took fifty percent, aside from small bequests, and now got only < one quarter, with Young getting i half. But Deming has enough to ; live on comfortably: he has re- i tired on what to the jury looks I like luxury, so it didn’t help 1 much.” "If he lied, there must have 1 been a powerful motive. What ' do you know about his son?” i The Trooper shrugged. "Twen- 1 ty-three. The kind you don’t no- i tice. A quiet sort of guy, under papa's thumb.” ' "Did you ever wonder whettier ; the son was the reason Deming was so anxious to get a convic- I tion for Young?” ; "Sure 1 wondered,” Foote retorted. “But we couldn’t turn up ' a scrap of evidence that the boy ever saw Candy. Anyhow, he’d 1 spent the critical time at a beer i joint. We found the owner of the ’ place and he corroborated his alibi.” < "But he could have known | her,” Mr. Petter insisted. “Oh, sure. And that remftids 1 me, there’e a guy who saw quite ' a bit of her. Man named Huger 1 who runs the inn with his wife.” j "What do you know about ' him?” ' “Good, looking and good for < nothing is how rd sum him lip. ,

But he’s out —unfortunately. Had an alibi 1 couldn’t break. He was helping his wife paint garden furniture all afternoon until Ives’ horse came back at five, and then he went looking for him.” His face lighted up. "Here comes the only guy we know for a fact ever dated Candy Kendrick — Howard Ives, the druggist." The man who ' had come into Martha’s Kitchen was about thirty-five, heavy set, with a round smooth face. He glanced at the two men and as he recognized the State Trooper he shied like a nervous horse and then settled himself at a distant table with his back to them. The Captain watched him grimly. "He didn’t like seeing me. Notice? If he’d had the nerve he’d have turned tail and cleared out.” An overweight woman then entered the restaurant, her heavy body squeezed mercilessly into a tight-fitting wool dress of a strident shade of green. Heavy costume jewelry flashed and jingled on her neck, her wrists, her fingers. Her eyes passed over the State Trooper and Mr. Potter, then unerringly sought out the druggist. He looked up and jumped awkwardly to his feet. "Ksther! 1 haven’t seen you in months. Won’t you join me?” She gave a start of exaggerated surprise. "Why, Howard, I never dreamed of running into you here. Like you say, it’s been a long time. Well, thanks, 1 will.” She lowered herself into the chair he held for her. “I tried to call you several times," the druggist said eagerly. "But you were never in. Or they said you were never in. I thought maybe you were sore at me or something." Her eyes opened wide. "Why would you think I was sore at you?" He leaned toward her, lowering his voice. “Oh, 1 can see how you might be sore." "Now, Howard, don’t be silly. I’m not sore." “That’s swell. But,' anyhow, Pd like to explain." His voice sank to a low mumble and the woman bent closer to hear him. "And who," Mr. Potter inquired, "is the lady on the prowl?’’ "Not a focal girl but I’ve seen her around somewhere." The Trooper snapped his fingers. “Oh, , I remember. She was at the hos- ~ = pital for a few months last year. Then she left for private duty. That’s Esther Garrison, Miss Pendleton’s nurse.” I (To Be Continued)

NEIGHBOR CAN PRUNE “One of the nice things about our new place’ 1 said John as he arid his wife surveyed the back yard of their new home, “are the peach trees of our neighbor on the left. Do you notice how much the branches of the trees on his land hang well over our yard? You can make some fine peach pies from the peaces we can pick from these branches." . “John, are you sure we can pick those peaches,” rejoined his wife, Ruth. "Certainly. Every man owns his land clear to the sky,” her proud husband replied. “Well, anyway John, I would much rather cut those horrid branches off so that I could plant some flowers along the border. Those branches will shade them too much.” This snatch of conversation probably reflects most people’s reaction to peaches, or blossoms, or walnuts or any prcxiuct of a tree or bush located an their neighbor’s property but whose branches overhang their property. Such an instinct is now, however, legally sound. Since the tree is located on the neighbor's land, the entire tree including the overhanging branches and the produett thereof all belong to the neighbor. If John had taken the peaches, his neighbor could have sued him for taking the neighbor’s property. However, some courts might hold that John must allow his neighbor to come upon his property and pick 1 up any fruit that falls to the '■ ground. But even though John couldn’t pick the peaches, his instinct concerning his ownership of his land I to the sky was nearly correct. Like most rules of law it has its exceptions; but the rule would allow John to grant his wife Ruth her wish. _ John may cut the branches off back to the boundary line between his neighbor’s and his property. If, when the perspiring John was digging the bed for Ruth : s he ’came upon some roots of the tree which extended into his yard, he could cut them off too. In most cases John couldn't go to court to make his neighbor cut off the overhanging branches and the roots, but if they were causing real damage such as pushing over a power line or breaking the wall of a well on John’s property, John 20 Years Ago 4= Today | •— ■ March IT, 1938 — Lowell Smith, Decatur school teacher, is guest speaker at Decatur business and professional women’s club— First bricks are laid yesterday at Decatur high school.
