Leper who Appeared1
Before Congress Dies
Mountaineer John Karly. 64-year-old
leper whose excursions Into the outside
world before his case was pro (
bounced arrested created several furores,
died Monday at the United
.States Public Health Service hospital
lu Carrvllle, I-*., of a recurrence of
leprosy.
The tall North Carolinian, a. veteran
of the Spanish-American war, during
one of his unheralded departures
front the leprosarium^ visited Washington
and prevailed on Congress to
place the Carrvllle Institution under
Federal operation.
Early said he also visited Chattanooga.
Tenn , Ashevllle, N. C., Chicago
and Milwaukee and made on? trip
to his 60 acre-farm near Tryon, N. C..
"Just to see what the old place looked
like."
His trips wore financed from his
war pension of $72 a month. Early
would remain In seclusion and voluntarily
return after he hud satisfied
his passion for travel.
The Illness developed while Karly
was on his farm shortly after the
Spanish American war. He shouldered
? a shotgun Hnd swore he would never
leave. I3ut finally he was persuaded
that the Institution would be the best
place for him and came peacefully.
Karly's most dramatic appearance
was before a congressional cotnmlttoe
considering the bill to authorlzo the
Federal government to take over Carrvllle.
Members were frightened by the
leper's announcement of his Identity.
It was reported that Karly remained
In the room until the committee had
reported the bill out and then submitted
to custody. Congress passed
the law.
Early made a later visit to \N ashlngton
In the interest of the patients
and startled congressmen, by registering
at a hotel which they frequentod.

nouncod "cured" by taking the Chalmoogra
oil treatment and told questloners
he was going to hide himself
away on his North Carolina farm.
He boarded a train for Tryon Littie
more was hoard of him until he
returned to Carrvllle.

dormant and overgrown with
weeds, the hangar In a run down condition
because of disuse, experienced
the first steps in a revival of uctlvlty
uifder efficient management.
The Woodward airport is now u

A year ago the airport was a waste
of weeds. An occasional plane came
out of the sky to drop In, but the
hangar was closed, no servicing crew
at hand, and airmen who knew of tho
field had only expressions of regret
over tho neglected condition of one
of the most potential assets the community
has.
Today the weeds have been removed.
the hangar renovated and repaired

'Under-Dog' Lawyer
Dies in 'Windy City'
Chicago, March 14?Clarence Barrow,
who rose from a $30 a month
country school teacher to the nation b
moHt famous "attorney for the defense,"
was dead today.
The noted lawyer-philosopher died
at his home hero yesterday after a
long illness with a heart ailment. He
was 80 years old. With him at the
end were his wife, Ruby, his sou,
Paul, and a sister, Mrs. Jennie Barrow
Moore.
During his half century in courts
from one side of the country to the
other, I>arrow was always the tiefender,
tho pleader. He fought for
the poor, the oppressed, the captive
and the weak because, as he once
said, "those found in prisons are practically
always poor; It is a game
where the dice are loaded and the
victim Is almost sure to lose."
His outstanding legal cases were in
defense of Kugone V. Bebs, many
times Socialist candidate for president;
"Hig Bill" Haywood and other
officers of the Western Federation of
Miners, charged with the slaying of
J former governor Frank Steunenberg.
I of Idaho; Richard Ixmb and Nathan
Leopold, "thrill slayers" of little Bobby
Franks; John T. Scopes In tho
Tennessee "monkey trial," and Mrs
Granville Fortescue and Lieut Thomas
Massie. F. S. N., tried for the
slaying of a native in Honolulu.
The I>oeb-Leopold case was one of
the most celebrated Barrow ever
fought. It was in the summer of
1924 that Barrow defended the two
sons of wealthy families for the kidnap-murder
of a 14 year old boy.
He once termed the murder "the
most foolish, most motiveless act
ever conceived by a diseased brain.

WE TURNED RITZY FOR AN
EVENING
..The wife and I were invited out u
few evening (nights) ago to one of
those so-called forma) parties. We hud
to dress up for the occasion. Dress
Ing up to me is a uightmare, but they
tell mo that 1 look fairly woll (in, the
dark) dressed up.
..Fortunately 1 own a tuxedo, bettor
kuown as a tux, so they say. But bofore
pulling it out of the chlffer robe
closet from amongst the moth-balls
and other smelling things, 1 took a
shower, oiled my bald-head, trimmed
the dirt from under my finger-nails,
cut all 6 of my whiskers off, powdered
my chin, brushed my teeth and put
drops in my eyes.
| . Then came the dressing feature of
the ordeal. I got my shirt on; it has
a wash-board front and a band-saw
collar. The-former would not bend
while the latter kept me looking right
straight up all of the time. 1 wore
two "a la Woolworth" shiny studs in
the front of the washboard, and a pair
of "a la Kress" cuff links, but I suspect
others at the party likewise were
sporting expensive jewelry and bo
forth.
..Tho little black bow tie was snapped
around my collar. Every time 1
would got my breath, It would hop
up to the top of the collar while the
bow-part would point north and south
Instead of east and west, as nice lit
tie bow ties ought always do. My
goozler took the worBt punishment it
ever experienced before; 1 can sympathize
with those Henry VII prisoners
who were glrotted before and after
each and every meal.
T.1 tried to bend over and lace my
shoes, but there wasn't a chance in
thousand to do a stunt like that. ? I
called a neighbor In. bless her sou),,
and she helped me with my accoutrements
. . . with a smile. She had
never seen me in distress before. My
vest had 2 buttons on it; in fact,
that'B all it ever had, it being made
that-a-way. It was cut very low,
plumb down to the top of my britches.
..I finally got everything on, I
thought, but had left off my BVD's;
sb 1 could not stand the rub, I had
to dp everything over again. We tinally
got to the party. I saw many
other persons there that were suffering
just as I was; aome necks and
chins were bleeding where the collars
had nipped them, but everyboddyrs
Bhoulders were straight, hnd hufiipbacks
of 15 years standing, were as
erect as a telegraph pole. Yep, we
had a mighty fine time, that is?with
the exception of what those evening
clothes did to us. My old lady wore
almost nothing in the back and so
forth; she suffered also.
