He was accused of the wilful murder of Abner Cook, his uncle, whose for- tune he had now inherited thioag the last will and testament of the deceased. From the first the jury held to their conviction that the prisoner was guilty. The night of the murder was one not readily forgotten. Upon that evening from six o'clock until ten there prevailed the most terrific wind and rainstorm that ever ited the district. Winton claimed that he had been to the city, that when the storm struck Lisle he left the electric car he was in and he resolved to start across country for home on foot. One mile from town, he narrated, the fury of the tempest drove him to take shelter about six o'clock tn an old deserted factory, a mile out of Lisle. Seeking its shelter, he found a companion, ‘hound storm-| like himself, He had never known this person before, who totd him that he was a traveling artist, his name Arthur Vaille. They had chatted and smoked until after ten o'clock. The stranger had gone on to Lisle, and Winton proceeded home. ‘ His wife was forced to testify that he did not arrive there until after midnight, which doomed the prisoner from the start with elght of the stern-faced, hard-hearted, biased members of the jury. There was one young man on the jury, however, Elmer Whitcomb, from a distant town, who from the first had settled in his o' mind that Winton was a victim’ of cir cumstantial evidence.

R. A. Nestos and Supt. W. F. McClelland of the state training school. Rev. C. J. Fylling conducted serv- ices at 11 o’clock following which a picnic ‘dinner was served. At two o'clock the children of the parochial school which concluded its months session yesterday under the tutelege of Miss Nora Hendrickson, gave a program, after which Rev. Fylling introduced Supt.

The marriage took place on Thursday, July 10th, in Spokane, Wash. Miss Bergen left about a month ago for Portland, Ore., and not even her closest friends knew of her plans to wed. 3 The bride is a daughter of Mrs. Mary Bergen of Glen Ullin, N. D. For the past seven or eight years she has been employed in the Hint- gen department store. Mr. Hall was a resident of Glen Ullin a number of years ago, but has resided in Potlatch, Idaho, for some time. WOODWORTH—THORBERG A wedding of interest to many local friends occurred Monday, July 7 at Sioux Falls, 8, D4, when Miss Clara Woodworth of that city was united in marriage to George Thor- berg, son of Mrs. E. A. Thorberg of this city. The ceremony was read by Dean Woodruff in the Calvary Epis- sweet girl had read his soul, that there was a bond between them, and his duty arose more compelling- ly than ever before him. * The jury were taken to thelr he- ‘tel. After supper, in charge of a court deputy, they began the usual evening walk for exercise. It had grown dusk. As they passed down an unlighted street Elmer White comb carried out a plan he had formed in his mind. He straggled behind, slipped down a dark alley and, unobserved, disappeared. There was a great commotion in Fairfield the next day. Such a thing as a deserting juryman had never been heard of before. They searched for Whitcomb, but did not find him. Verona Winton received a note, brief, unsigned, but she guessed who had sent it and kissed the single word {t contained: “Hope!” Of course, a verdict could not be legal with only eleven jurymen. It would take a month before the slow machinery of the law could bring up the case anew. It was a grate- ful respite for the prisoner. Five weeks later, just as the new jury had convened, Elmer Whitcomb walked quietly into the courtroom and approached the bar of justice. “I am here to receive my punish- ment,” he said simply. ‘There was bewilderment, excite {ment In the courtroom, Then Whit- ; comb turned and nodded to a man ;who had accompanied him as far as the door, “Your honor,” he explained, “I have been thousands of miles away on a hint I got from a friend in the city to find this gentleman. He is Arthur Vaille, the witne@s who can prove the innocence of the prisoner at the bar. Then Elmer Whitcomb sat down. His glance swept the room. It was ‘to find a sought-for face—that of a beautiful girl, whose glowing eyes seemed to send him a soul message that repaid him for all his efforte— Verona. Harold Winton was a free man before the sun had set. Elmer Whitcomb, a hero now in the est!- mation. of the people, received the seatence of the court with a satis- {fied smile—-“orie day in jail and a fine of $100.” “The law requires me to take this action,” sald the judge, “I remit the fine. and your 24 ‘hours’ im- prisonment should give you time to realize wat a noble man you have been.” : : ‘Theré-came to that prison‘cell the pbeautifol girl who had inspired El- mer Whitcomb to fils unselfish deed, ‘When ‘he left the prison the next day she was waiting for him, nd anjid:her fervently expressed grat!- tote there was no shadow of unre- quitted love: (@, 1984, Woetorn Newspaper,t/nion.)
