EIGHTEEN ARE GIVEN SENTENCE IN UQUOR CASE Father, Mother and Young Son Among Those Who Plead Guilty.

Stern Justice wept and smiled in Federal Court Friday afternoon as eighteen members of the Pope liquor conspiracy were sentenced by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. Fourteen pleaded guilty and four were convicted by a jury. “You don’t see many more pitiful scenes than this—a 17-year-old boy standing between his mother and father for violating the Constitution of the United States,” Judge Ealtzell said, as John Stella and his wife, Kate, of Chicago, alleged important cogs in the Pope conspiracy, stood and admitted their guilt to the court with their son, John Jr., between them, also pleading guilty. There were eight other children at home, the court was told. Dad, Son Sentenced % The father was sentenced to fifteen months at Leavenworth and fined $500; the mother was fined S3OO and the boy given a jail sentence of one day, Horace .Webster, Montmorency, garage owner, charged with helping the Chicago-to-Indianapolis rum runners on their way by doing their garage work was fined S2OO and sentenced to ninety days. Harry Leslie, Indiana House of Representatives speaker, appeared on Webster’s behalf and testified to his good character. Harry N. Styner, chief Inspector, State fire marshal’s office, also was a character witness for Webster. Mrs. Carrie Costello, 9330 Chauncey Ave., Chicago, listened while William Green, now a prohibition investigator In the pay of the Government, but formdHy a member of the Pope ring by his own confession, told how she sold him liquor in Chicago which he brought to Indianapolis. Holds Up Sentence The jury found her guilty, but Judge Baltzell withheld sentence until her husband, also indicted, could be apprehended. Martin Van Shapen, former driver of the Montmorency school hack, changed his plea to guilty and got thirty days. When arraigned he said he had been promised immunity by prohibition officers if he would tell “what he knew.” Others sentenced: Pierre Schleuter, 1504 E. Maryland St., sixty j Frank Hosner and Frank Shearers, garage proprietors, 750 Virginia Ave., seventy-five days and one day, respectively; Walter F. and Charles H. Schreiber of Brunswick, S2OO each, and S. R. Stafford, 1114 Atwood St., one day. Tony Ferrari of Chicago and Albert Tyree, 370 Holmes St., also pleaded guilty and will be sentenced Monday.

CHAPTER LVII The Meeting ‘‘l’m going with you,” Gladys said, breaking the silence of their wait while long distance got Judge Perkins on the wire. Joyce looked at her unseeingly. “I was going anyway next week,” Gladys said a little defiantly, as though she feared Joyce might refuse. "Help me pack,” this last to Mrs. Daring, who stood holding one of Joy’s hands and wishing desperately that she might help in some way. She followed Gladys into the bedroom and put Joy’s things back in her bag. Gladys threw clothing from a deep closet. “I’ll take what I can now,” she said, “and you pack my trunk here for me tonight and send it after me. “I’ll give you the keys and you and Mr. Daring can stay here tonight. I’ll look alter Joyce and let you know how things come out.” Mrs. Daring nodded assent and began to help Gladys assemble what she needed for her trip on the train. They heard the telephone give a long ring. Then Joy’s voice, agitated and disappointed. “Miss Daring? This is the long-dis-tance operator. We cannot locate Judge Perkins at the address you gave us. Shall we try again?” “Yes, please. Try him anywhere in Cleveland that the local operator thinks he might be. And report back please, just as often as you can.” Then she sat down, watching the telephone as though she thought Deke himself might appear in it momentarily. Train time approached. The three women sat silent and nervous. Presently Mr. Daring came in. He saw at once that there was trouble in the air. “What is It?” he asked anxiously, going to Joyce and taking her in his arms. Mrs. Daring handed him the pa- 1 per. He read the story of Deke’s injury and then asked Joyce, “Are you going to him, daughter?” Joyce nodded. Her father understood. “We’ll be praying for you” he said. “For you and for the lad to recover his sight.” Joyce could not help thinking for a moment of how oddly her father a words fitted his spruce appearance. “It’s time to start,” she said, looking at her watch. A messenger came up as they were leaving the house. Joyce tore open the yellow envelope. “Story true. Why aren’t you here? Franky.” - She scribbled an answer and gave it to the boy. “Leaving on 6:20. Arrive in morning. Meet us. Joyce.” To Joyce that was the longest night she had ever spent. She knew that each turn of the wheels car-> ried her nearer to Deke. But it seemed, too, that some mighty hand held them back and sent them back and sent them crawling instead of speeding through the night. Morning found her staring out of the window as they ran through the level fields of Northern Ohio, Painesville, Wiloughby, the station at 105th street, and then the bustle to leave the train. Followed by Gladys, to whom she had scarcely said a word on the entire trip, she hastened to the gates. Yes, there was Franky, waiting for her, waving a frantic hand to attract her attention. Tears rushed to Joy’s eyes. Good old Franky, always loyal. Then they were In-* each other’s arms and Joyce was saying, “How is he? Tell me, Franky.” “He’s pretty bad,” Franky said. “His mother and father got here last night. He’s been delirious part of the time and keeps asking for you when he's out of his mind. I told his mother you were coming. Your letter' never reached him. Judge Perkins found it at the factory the day that Deke was hurt. I ■ wanted him to let me read it to Deke, but ho thought it was better not to. Deke keeps talking about some letter, but no one knows what it is.” “I know,” Joyce said, turning to include Gladys in the party and making toward the entrance to the station. “It’s a letter Catherine Sherwin sent him, telling him a mixed-up story about what happened here last month. She sent me a copy and I thought that was why Deke hadn’t written to me.” Franky shook hands with Gladys. “I’ve got my car here,” she said. “Where shall I take you! I’d be glad to have you both at my house.” “You can drop me at the Statler,” said Gladys. “I’m going to scare my best beau into fits there. I was so excited over Joy’s coming this way that I didn’t even send him a telegram.”

They left Gladys at the Statler and drove on out to the hospital. “I think you’d better see Mrs. Deacon first,” Frank said. “She’s nearly wild with worry, of course. But she’s awfully anxious for you to come.” “Does she know ” “I told her everything,” Franky answered, “even about seeing you and making you write to Deke.” “You think she doesn’t blame me?” “Not a bit of it. Her one thought is to make Deke happy. I think she’d hold a gun at your head to make you come to him if she thought it was necessary. Judge Perkins talked to her too. He and old Mr. Deacon have been buried over at the factory. It seems that the judge wants him to borrow some money to see the plant through the summer and he won’t do it. Says that he is ready to accept Deke’s judgment that it’s better to shut down and close up the busi-

ness than to try to limp along.” Joyce said nothing, but her heart began to sing of a hope that perhaps now she could really help Deke. Perhaps he would take some of her money. , They were met in the hospital lobby by a wan Mrs. Deacon. “Joyce,” she said, taking the girl

of th? State, together with many members of the Lincoln League from Indiana and other States met at the grave of Abraham Lincoln’s mother this morning to pay fitting tribute to the “great mother of a great son.” The ceremonies appropriately took place on Mother’s day and a feature of the program was the placing of a wreath on the grave in the name of mothers of Indiana by Anne Studebaker Carlisle, president of the Indiana Lincoln Union. An inscription on the wreath read. “This wreath is dedicated to the deathless, because divine, force of the mother whose ashes lie buried here. It is a pledge that this ground ever shall be sacred to the memory of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of an immortal son.” Dedicatory Address In a dedicatory address President Carlisle said: “Here at your altar on this peaceful knoll, Mother of Lincoln, we pause today to meditate upon the thought that from this humble environment your influence, through your ( immortal son, has radiated around the world—a challenger to motherhood. “In the name of Indiana mothers, this wreath is placed upon your grave as an acknowledgement of our debt of gratitude to you and as a pledge this hallowed ground shall be dedicated as a fitting shrine In recognition of your contribution to the world, where all may come to pay homage to you and drink at the fountain of your inspiration.” Confer With Architect After the ceremonies the executive committee, headed by Governor Ed Jackson, Mrs. Carlisle of South Bend and Richard Lieber, chairman, conferred with Frederick Law Olmsted, the nothed landscape architect, on plans for developing the grounds surrounding the grave and the cabin site where Abraham Lincoln lived for fourteen years into a significant expression of appreciation by the Nation for the life and influence of ’ Lincoln and his mother.

Asthma So Bad She Was Hopeless Expected to Die. Got well quickly. No sign of asthma now. Readers whose asthma or bronchial cough seems to be getting the best of them, will be glad to know how Mrs. M. Bennett, 128 N. Noble St., Indianapolis, Ind., regained health after she had lost hope. She writes: “I suffered with asthma for several years. Then, three years ago, I caught the flu, and my asthma became so bad I was absolutely hopeless. I coughed and choked so terribly I could hardly get my breath. Friends and neighbors never thought I would get over it, and I thought my time bad come. My daughter read about Nacor in the newspaper, and got a bottle. I didn’t see any use trying it, but I took it, and started improving, almost at once. In all, I took three bottles. _I recovered entirely and have never had a sign of asthma since. I am 63 years old and feeling just fine. I never can thank Nacor enough.” Hundreds of other sufferers who were just as discouraged as Mrs. Bennett have also repotted their complete recovery from asthma and severe bronchial coughs. Their letters, telling how their trouble left and never returned, will gladly be sent free by Nacor Medicine Cos., 413 State Life Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind., together with a booklet full of valuable information about these dread diseases.

tion. It seems that some of the glass has penetrated nearly to the brain, and they are afraid,” her voice faltered, “they are afraid he may not live through the operation.” "O, but he must,” Joyce cried. “You will give him courage, dear,” Mrs. Deacon said. "But I must tell you that he may refuse to see you. He feels that he has nothing to offer you. He is blind and poor. Franky has told you how things are at ’he plant, and Deke knows that you are wealthy now In your own right.” “How silly!” Franky exclaimed. ‘'Joyce-needs Deke Just as much as he needs her.” Mrs. Deacon smiled at the girl.’ “Joyce will have to convince him of that herself,” she said kindly. “You can surely understand Henry’s point of view. It is the only manly way for him to feel.” Joyce listened while Franky and Mrs. Deacon talked of Deke’s condition. Presently a nurse came toward them. “Mr. Deacon is awake,” she said, looking closely at Joyce whom she guessed to be the subject of her patient’s delirium. “I think I’d better not tell him you are here,” Mrs. Deacon said to Joyce. “I’ll Jhst go in as usual and you follow me in a few minutes. Don’t you think that’s best. Miss Fuller?” to the nurse. “This is Miss Daring, my son’s financee, who has come on from New York this morning.” “I hardly know,” Miss Fuller began. "I don't want him excited. Perhaps it will be best for her to come in after I have made him ready for his lunch.” Joyce went softly after Mrs. Deacon and the nurse. While she waited in the hall she clasped her hands together, “Dear God, tell me what to say to him, tell me what to say to him,” she prayed over and over again. Then the door opened and the nurse beckoned. Joyce entered and stood stunned for a moment. That wasted figure with the white bandage over its eyes —could that be Deke? She went forward on leaden feet. Deke turned his head at the sound of a strange step. “Who Is it?" he asked. Joyce leaned over and took his hands in hers. “It’s Joyce, Deke. O Deke, I love you so,” and she bent lower and kissed him. Mrs. Deacon left the room, beckoning the nurse to follow her. (To be continued.) (Copyright, 1927) Famous Features Syndicate. Inc.
