'Norman Garfield was on Thursday

robbing his store on the night of
January 20th.
The ,ury retired at 6.10 ani at S.40

they had been called, Peter 'McDonald,
clerk of the court, rose and asked the
jury* if they had agreed on a verdict.
"We have," was the re ponce and Wil-

arose and in a clear voice read the
finding as follows; "The members of

audience and embraced her husband
who was just about to be led away to
the jail. The final dramatic feature
was when, at the conclusion of the
Crown's case, Montalieu Nesbitt put
the prisoner inthe box. Norman told
n remarkable story and although he
was very nervous at the first he soon
settled down and narrated the events
of the fateful night when Ben John-
ston was killed, ;n a cool and collect-
ed manner. Up to this point there
had been very little evidence that was
not heard the day before in the ease
against Dente. The latter himself
on the stand told practically the same
story as he did in the confess.on. He
was .brought into court shortly after
Norman and placed in the dock be-
side his brother. It was the first meet-

Norman looked his brother straight in
the face with a slight smile on his
face, while the younger brother took
his seat with hardly a glance towards
the brother against whom he had
turned King's evidence to save hhn-
self.

in the Upper Silesian plebiscite be-
gan on Thursday in twenty of the
large German cities. Special trains
left Berlin for Breslau carrying ban-
ners with inscriptions urging Germans
to rally to the salvation of Upper
Silesia. Bands played patirotic
music.
Voters have been registered with
military precision in every city .and
small community, and the organized
voters have been formed into squads,
companies and battalions under lead-
ers. Every voter is provided with a
free railway ticket and full instruc-
tions as to train and car and the
place where he will be entertained in
Upper Silesia while awaiting the elec-
tion.
It is estimated that at least 200,-
000 Germans eligible to vote will be
sent to Upper Silesia, and consequent-
ly transportation is taxed and it will
be necessary to send many of the
voters early, although the election is
not until March 20.
Rallies are being held throughout
Germany daily for the purpose of in-
specting

the plebiscite zone.

kept the shop in question, has not ap-

Asked the reason of his move, he re-

A Letter From London
An attempt has been made by a
firm of publishers to induee Queen
Mary to publish extracts from the
diary she keeps. Although it has been
pointed out to Her Majesty that
Queen Victoria, twice during her life-
time, published books of reminis-
cences, Queen Mary has refused to
have anything she has written pub-
lished until long after she had joined
the majority.
The Prince of Wales, who is no-
thing if not practical, has instituted
a regime of common-sense economy
at St. James's Palace. Although he
motors a great deal, a tingle chauf-
feur suffices for his needs, and the
Prince sees to it that this chauffeur
is not overworked. More than once
during the recent festive season he
drove himself home after a dinner or
a dance.

The Duke of Connaught, in the
course of his visit to India, will come
into contact with an interesting per-
sonality in Lord Willingdon, Governor
of Madras. Lord Willingdon has a
happy knack of winning the favor of
Indian rajahs who are none too friend-
ly in their attitude towards British
rule. Oncehe travelled with a certain
Indian rajah who was particularly
disagreeable and surly. They journ-
eyed. together for thirty miles, and
Lord Willingdon, summing up his
man, hardly opened his mouth.
When the journey was completed,
the rajah turned to hint with a smile
of approval.
"The Governor is a real sahib,"
said the rajah. "He does not talk!"
One can imagine what would have
been the feelings of Queen Victoria
,to hear that one of her grandsons
was about to . embark upon a commer-
eial career. Those, however, who en-
joy the personal friendship of the
Marquis of Carisbro+oke are not in the
least surprised to hear that he has
become a director of the :well-known
shipping firm of Lamport & Holt,
since he has long had a desire
to enter- the world . of commerce.

Rhineland Will Yield
Allies 400,000,000 Marks
A d&patch from Paris says: -Fin-
ancial control of the Rhineland will,
it is estimated, bring in about 400,-
000,000 maiks gold a year but only if
the mines, forests and roads are in -
eluded in the control. It is generally
admitted that the management of the
railroads there is badly in need of
revision and that this must bedone
if they are to be made profitable for
the Allies.

It seems but the other day that
Ring Haakon, then Prince Charles
of Denmark, the sailor son of the late
King Frederick VIII., was married in
the private chapel at Buckingham
Palace to his first cousin, Princess.
Maud of Wales, second daughter of
Edward. VII. and of Queen Alexandra,

Nine years later Prince Charles,
greatly to the indignation of the ex -
kaiser, was elected ruler of Norway
under the title of Ring Heiken VII.,
his only boy, until then known as
Prince Alexander, having his Chris-
tian name transformed into the Nor-
wegian name of Olaf, under which he
will eventually reign.
The marriage of King Haakon and
Queen Maud has been one of un-
clouded happiness. After twenty-five
years of union they are still a very
united couple, and have known how
to adapt themselves, with their tact
and diplomacy, to the conditions that
have long prevailed in so democratic
a country as Norway.
