"The" Investment ofat

people's witnesses brought out a longchain of circtiatnstances against Bar-ney, though nothing direct about howthe fire started which caused Mrs.Barney's death from burns and shock.

'The defense was that the fire was anaccident. Barney was placed on thestand in has own behalf .and stolidlymaintained that the fire was caused bythe lamp exploding. The only timetm the whole trial that his demeanorchanged was when he told the cir-cumstances of the fire and his wife'sagonized cries. Then for a momentlie broke" down and wept. In brief,Baraey testified that he filled thelamp, that was customarily left burn-ing in has wife's room on account ofthe baby, at about midnight and light-ed it in the kitchen, took it back to

the evening. At other times they willattend the regular conference sessions.

that he took the clothes his wife hadworn out in the yard and burnedthem. He took the stick <*f wood outthat had been ln.£he kitchen. Barneydenied he had Before the fire throwna hand glass at his wife. He admittedon cross examination having hadtrouble with her previous to movingto Ft. Covington over money mattersand the religious training of the chil-dren. Barney said he was «.t homewith his family on the evening pre-vious to the fire, had played with thechildren, played checkers with hiswife and they had (had no troufole.

the bedroom and placed it on thetrunk near her bed. There was analarm clock/on the trunk, a cup ofmilk for !tfee baby and several o n t iematches. Oa the fatal morning he o n t^e floor between the door and bed,said he arose shortly after adx, shookdown the stove of the living' room,shut the bedroom door to warm theliving room where his wife usuallydressed and went into the kitchen toTight the oil stove.1 Then hejheard a

; noise, .his wife screa:cry. He rushed to the room,

the 4°°^ a-nd found the bedand "his wife's niriu clothes all aflame.His .wife was trying- to get out of bed;he tried to mtt out the fire with atowel; she fill and tried to get up andmn toward tke kitchen. At first sherushed abojtf the bedroom screaming,

"The amount proposed to be raisedis only sufficient to liquidate our debtsand to (make the needed repairs. It i»highly desiratole that if the generouspeople of the community feel able todo so, this fund should be oversub-scribed to provide a balance whichwill forestall our going to the peoplefor assistance again in a few years.

I t is the hope of the Board ofDirectors that as time goes on and astihe people are persuaded that thehospital meets the needs of the com-munity, the endowment fund will besteadily increased by gifts and be-quests, until its endowment income islufficient to meet the deficit incurred

each year through operation. Thepresent endowment consists of $26,-975 in real estate mortgages, $7,000in bonds and .about $50,000 in the C.J. Lawrence estate trust fund, a totalof about $84,000. If this endowmentwere doubled I believe We would neveragain have to ask the public for adollar.

"However, ito pay our debts and make the neces-sary repairs. Surely I do not need topoint out the value of the hospital tothe community. It would mean acalamity and a reflection to halve thehospital closed, and yet we cannotcontinue without help. Jt. is a crucialtime in the life of «he inetltationI ana confident that the people of Ma-lone will rally to our aid."

Prof.Harris, of St. Dawrence Universitytestified for the defense that the lampby tipping over mig'ht have started thefire and that the outing flannel nig iigown woa-n by Mrs. Barney mighihave become ignited.

Later in the case the districtattorney withdrew his objection as apublic duty, inassmush as tihe matterwas one wlien man's life was inJeopardy, and the statement was ad-mitted. In this statement Mrs. Bar-ney said in substance: "My first re-collection was when Ed said 'The room

amateur grown-ups. Mrs. Hoy andthe High School orchestra accompa-nied the production superbly, and theresult was, an entertainment of unua-

schools. No set of grown-ups couldhave beaten the young boys m thobaseball song, emphasized b> th©rythm of their ball clubs. The actingwas so natural that waves_o! laughterswept the audience and the choruseswere greeted with continuous ap-plause.

The principals in the operettawere Helen Murtagh, the mother,Howard Lawrence, the son and leaderof £he gang of boys, Eva Whitney,Treida Uohetr and Bertha Borssuck,All were fine in their parts and as en-thusiastic as veterans. The songs iawhich the last three featured werecharming. Bertha Borssuck, m herdoll song, sang very sweetly, and herparasol dance was graceful. All threehave exquisite voices. The butterflydance between acts, given by Attc«Donovan and Ruth Reynolds, was oriaof th3 prettiest things of the kind ev-er seen on a Malone stage, Befotand after the show the High Schoiorchestra furnished better music thamany of the orchestras brought hei \from away for public social furntions. It consisted of violin, tvtsaxaphones, cornet, banjo, piano anddrums. During the play instru-ments were- shifted and there werefour violins, horn, saxaphone, etc. Th»whole was a program reflecting thautmost credit on our schools.

"Tt is said that the validity of the re-cent election in Brushton, at which it

s voted to incorporate as a villageis being questioned by some, becausesome ballots were provided by thetown clerk and read "For Incorpora-tion" and "Against Incorporation1

with a square rfor voters' cross markin front of each, while ot&er ballotsprovided by interests favoring the pro-ject read simply "For Incorporation,"without the alternative or any square.The law provides a very simple wayof voting on the question of incorpor-•ation and it is possible that both formsmay be all right. At any rate the pa-pers of incorporation have been for-warded to Albany. Some say that thequestion of a water system is involv-ed; others the building of a new$1SO,000 school building. As the lat-ter would !>e purely a school districtmatter we fail to see how incorpora-tion would affect it one way or theother.

Coroner Nickelson held an inquest

The evidence was aM present-ed that day^and. the coroner reserveddecision* till Thursday.

If the coronerfinds that a crime was committed andClickner is held responsible a warrantfor his arrest will be issued- The au-topsy on Hartman's body was madeby Drs. White and Rust, who foundthat the bullet was the cause of Hart-man's death. It is expected thatClickner will be held for some degreeof manslaughter.

At the Mothers* Meeting at theW. C. T. U. rooms Friday afternoonMrs. Herbert H. Reynolds gave a veryinteresting and instructive talk on'"Bringing Up Boys," in which sheemphasized the importance of thor-ough knowledge of parents of theleader or leaders of bands of childrenwith which their boys associate. Theplay life of the child makes a deepimpression on the character. She.referred to a paroled convict who at-trlbuted his downfall to the influe&c*of boy friends, especially the leader ofhis play gang. Good reading in thehome was also emphasized, with booksthat will give constructive ideas tochildren. Just praise is an elementwhich should not be omitted by par-ents in developing character. Thehome of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds is a;real club for boys and young men andthose are fortunate who belong.
