The Flaw in a Perfect Case
W fiBN William Harrison, of Oloo-
cestershire, England, disappeared
and no knowledge could be obtained
of his whereabouts, everybody In that
part of the country came to the con
clusion that he had met with foul
play. *
He had gone away on a rent-collect
ing tour, and It was known that he
was sure to have a large sum of
money in his possession.
A month went by and still there was
no trace of the missing man.
The sole topic of discussion In those
parts revolved around the query:
What hap become of William Har-
rison?
It was during one of these discus
sions that John Perry came to the
front and Pmazed the authorities with
a remarkable story.
He said that bis brother, Richard
Perry, had murdered Harrison for his
money, and that the result of the
crime was his enrichment to the ex
tent of £130.
John and Richard Perry Uvbd with
their mother In a little house on the
outsklr.s of the village.
John* was not mentally strong; in
deed, there were some who regarded
him as half-witted.
Richard .was physically and men
tally strong, but his reputation for In
tegrity was not good.
He had been caught in some ques
tionable transactions, and It was hint
ed that he would not hesitate at mur
der for the sake of money.
The magistrate of the district sent
for John Perry, and the fellow re
peated his story.
Hb was examined at length, but
stuck to his original statement. The
only addition he made to it was that
he and his mother were present when
Richard had assaulted and robbed
Richard Harrison.
He was unable to say what had be
come of the body because he had run
away while the robbery was In prog
ress.
The two men and the woman were
placed on trial and were Inadequately
defended.
Insect Damage Is
Fought in Winter
v
Stored Seed Grain Should Be
Protected From All Bugs;
Treat in Bins.

Carbon disulphide or carbon tetra
chloride may be used effectively to kill
Insecta In stored grain this winter. A
barrel or other container which can
be made air tight will be suitable, then
fasten two thicknesses of heaV'y wrap
ping paper on the barrel top. If the
seed Is heavily Infested, a full cup of
the disulphide or tetrachloride .may be
used. * ‘
After two or three days, examine
the seed. If any Insectrf are still alive,
repeat the process. The aeed should
be kept in air tight containers until
ready to plant or Insects will reinfest
It When ready to plant, spread out
on the floor and the gas will evaporate
In a short time.
Storage bins may be used to treat
seed In large quantitlea If the bins are
fairly air tight Twenty pounds of
the disulphide will be enough for each
1,000 cubic feet of space in the bln.
After pouring It on the seed, cover with
sacks to help hold In the gas. The
treatment should be applied In the mid
dle of the day when the temperature Is
warmest
Air slaked lime may also be used In
treat grains for Insects. In treating
quantities of seed, equal parts of lime
and seed may be used. For small
amounts, the ratio of lime should be
larger than that of the seed.
Drouth Com Not Likely

There Is little danger of poisoning
live.stock by feeding drouth-damaged
cornstalks If samples tested at

Illinois, are typical of corn thronghout
the country, says Dr Robert Graham,
chief In animal pathology and hygiene.
Innumerable Inquiries have been re
ceived by the University of Illinois
pathology laboratory relative to the
possible poisonous properties of drouth
corn, as well as Sudan grass, and ap
parently many stockmen are afraid to
feed either of these roughages.

If they pleaded guilty to robbery their
lives would be spared.
But at the next term of court. Sir
Robert Tyde placed them ol* trial for
murder.
They were at a terrible disadvantage
because by confessing to robbery they
had admitted that they were potential
murderers.
Id addition to this there was a mass
of circumstantial evidence against
John.
There was only one flaw In what
might be regarded as an otherwise
perfect case, and that was the failure
of the authorities to find the body.
F:r Charles Turner, who presided at
the first trial, had refused to accept
tlje indictment for murder because of
this very flaw, and It was that which
had caused a change in' the indictment
to robbery.
But the second Judge was not so
jealous of the old English law.
He took the ground that Harrison's
nonappearance after six months was
proof positive that he had been killed.
So the family was convicted and
executed.
Soon after the execution one of the
residents of Gloucestershire received
an anonymous letter hinting that Wil
liam Harrisou was still alive.
Then came another story that he
was In Turkey. All of these rumors
were treated as mere gossip until three
years later when the door of the local
Inn was opened and William Harrison
entered the room.
He said that after he had collected
the rents, as usual, he was beset by
a gang of thieves, and the cash taken
from him.
But the toughs did not stop at mere
robbery.
They took him to a wayside Inn and
Invited him to take a drink upon the
success of their enterprise.
He took It and In a little while be
came unconscious.

Saxby’s Gals
Saxby’s Gale Is the name given to a
violent storm, which occurred on Oc
tober 4, 1869, on the coast of New
Brunswick, Maine and Nova Scotia.
It was accompanied by a tide of ex-
traordInary height * The storm, which
apparently came up from the West In
dies and caused heavy rains In eastern
. United States, was called Saxby’s Gale
because a Lieutenant Saxby of tho
British navy had announced a year
previously that a great storm and high
tide would occur on October ft. Tho
prediction had been based on tho sup
posed Influence ef the moon, J>nt It was
entirely Indefinite as to the place
where the storm would occur.
Huge Wheat Crop in Canada
The 1934 wheat crop of Canada Is
officially estimated at 277,304,000
bushels. This Is an Increase of shout
7,000.000 bushels over the unrevlsed
estimate for 1933, but Is considerably
lower than the average for recent
years. Previous to 1933 the smallest
Canadian wheat crop in the last ten
years was 304,f)20,000 bushels In 1929;
the highest was over .166.000,000 In
1928. The. low 1934 production Is dua
mainly to unfavorable climatic condi
tions In large areal of the western
provinces where most of Canada's
wheat Is grown. The average wheat
yield an acre for all Canada In 1934 Is
placed at 11.6 bnshels, compared with
a long-time average of 17.1. The esti
mated production of other principal
grains In Canada shows an Increase
over the previous year. Oats are up
about 37,000,000 bushels, barley up |
about 5.440,000 bushels, ryl up shout
2.200.000 bushels, and flaxseed up about
460,000 bushels.

made to thresh as many of the. beans

grown this year was about 50 per cent
larger than was grown last year, the
chances are that on. account of the

overlook the fact that soy bean straw
Is s comparatively nutritions forage-
