Bussell last Saturday morning with the result that the teacher was acquitted and Mrs. Hankins was forced to pay the costs, which totalled $22.40.

A term in tife state prison seems to be the next draw for Joe Trapp. He was arrested this week .at Marion where he had been working in a tile factory, and will be returned to the state penal ’ farm, from which he escaped last May. The penalty for such escape is two to five years in the state prison. The sentence is usually passed by the judge , at Greencastle, in the same county as the penal farm. This week’s arrest was the third one that has come "to Joe since he knifed Chauncey Felker here in November of 1914. He left immediately after that affair, but was arrested in Newton county the following March. Ih May of that year a jttry found him guilty of assault and battery and assessed his fine at SSOO. He stayed the fine until fall, but skipped out again bn the day he was to be taken to the penal farm to begin his sentence. Four ’months later, in January of last year, he was picked up again at Logansport and taken direct to the penal farm. Another four months later he escaped from that institution, and has been at large until taken at Marion.—-Pu-laski Democrat. • ( ,
