Evidence prosecutors have shaped up to send Unwrence M. Hight and Mrs. Elsie Sweetin to the gallows for murdering Wilford Sweetin probably will be completed late today or Thursday. Only a few witnesses remain to be heard and they all are witnesses of the secret love meetings between the former pastor and the miner’s wife, which the State contends led up to *l,e murder of Sweetin and also Mrs. Hight. Several appeared on the stand late Tuesday. Thirty for Defense When the State's case is completed the defense has about thirty witnesses to present and this probably will mean a completion of the trial by Saturday night. "Sometimes I wish T couid sit up ; alone all night with poor Mr. Sweetin.” 1 light made this statement to her while Sweetin was ill. Mrs. Jennie Jones, Sweet In’s aunt, testified today. Another witness on the stand today was Stanlon Sweetin. 14 year old son of the no-u.jed woman. He took the stand sobbing and told about Hlght's visit to his home. Son Breaks Down “Most of the time we (the children) were sent out to piny when the pastor called. T do remember, however, that father never was home when the minister called.” the lad said. He broke down completely after

The development of the Cracking Process by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is one of the outstanding achievements in the progress of the petroleum industry. The history of cracking, as a commercial development is written large in the annals of this organization. It is impossible to calculate the good which —directly or indirectly—has come from the development of this scientific process for increasing the world’s supply of gasolina Without it the great automotive industry, which has influenced to so striking a degree the every-day life of the people of this country, never could have attained its present gigantic proportions. In 1913, American refineries produced about 1,000,000,000 gallons of gasoline, which constituted about of the crude oil run in refinery stills. In 1923, American refineries produced about 7,500,000,000 gallons of gasoline, which constituted about 30% of the crude oil run in refinery stills. A substantial part of this increase was made possible by the Cracking Process. The Burton Process, developed in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is acknowledged to. be the first commercial process available and, while others have developed processes to achieve similar results, the greater part of the gasoline made by the Cracking Process comes from Burton stills. While developing the Burton process, for Increasing the production of gasoline from a given quantity of crude oil, is an outstanding service, it is but one of the many services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to keep the supply of gasoline sufficient to meet the demands of the. motoring public.
