Prison Authorities Return Poole's Wearing Apparel.

The clothes that John W. Poole wore throughout his long trial and in which he was taken to Michigan City penitentiary, are now laying in the Big Four station at Swanington, just a mile from the Pooie farm and have been there for the past ten days. The prison authorities shipped them hack to Poole’s family after ‘Poole began his life sentence, and notified them that the clothes had been sent. So far,i the Pooles have paid no attention to the little box and leave it in the station where it is called to the attention of almost every person who passes through the building.

Emery Poole, the nlneteen-year-old boy, who was instumental in his father’s conviction on the charge of murder in the first degree, is back at the Poole farm and has taken charge. With him are his mother and his younger brother. Miss Grace Poole, who did everything in her power' to save her father from the penitentiary, is teaching school at Wheatfield and does not return to her home. For the past two or three years and during the trial of his father, Emory Poole did not live at "home, but since his father was taken to prison, he returned to take the management of the Poole farm. ~,
