Sentenced To Hang On Christmas Day To be hanged by the neck un- til you are dead." The judge uttered the dread sentence as outside the courtroom the church bells rang out their message of peace and goodwill to all men. It was Christmas morning, and the jury, who reached their ver- dict after only 50 minutes of de- liberation, watched William Burke — the murderer whose crimes aided medical science — being led to his cell. Then they left to join their families on the day of rejoicing. Burke began his . gruesome career of crime through the death of a man at his Edinburgh lodg- ing -house. The dead man owed for his bed and board, and Burke knew how to get it, The body was fresh, and in Surgeons Square he found a ready market. Dr. Knox was pleased to hand over £7, los. to Burke and his accomplice, Hare. "Come again if ye've anything maire to dispose of," called the doctor's assistant, as they hur- ried off into the mist. Inside the surgery the body was swiftly made ready for use by the doctor's students. But the seeds of a foul scheme had been set in the minds of Burke and Hare. "Come again," the man had called after them. Seven pound ten for a corpse, and times were hard. It was a few weeks later before Fate fell in step with their mur- derous designs. One of Burke's lodgers contracted fever, and, with the sop to his conscience that alarm would spread if the presence of fever became known, Burke pulled the pillow from under the stricken man's head and pressed it over his face. Dr. Knox paid £10 for that body. Another sick man followed the same awful route soon after- wards. He was a stranger from England, and he lay in the filth of Burke's attic apartment with jaundice. A band clapped firmly over his mouth,and nostrils gave him release from suffering in death. Again the body found its way via the darkest alleyways to the dissecting rooms of Dr. Knox. An old woman from Gilmer - ton, Abigail Simpson, was the next victim for the duettists of death. Then, like all criminals, they began to be careless. "More bodies," called the stu- dents of Surgeons. Square. There were many of them, for Dr, Knox had become well known as a teacher. But in their quest for the se- crets of life, they never stopped to think of how fresh were the corpses sold by Burke and Hare. Others brought bodies, but most from the desecrated graveyards. The unfortunates delivered by Burke and his partner had never known coffin nor grave. They moved out to kill. Men, women, and even a child were attracted to the lodgings of death. But the long. career of crime was coming to an inevitable end. The last victim was an old woman named Docherty, and her screams were heard echoing from Burke's house at midnight. Stich cries were common in the district, and it was not until the next morning that the deed was discovered. A curious woman uncovered the naked body un- der a pile of straw in Burke's basement. She called the police, but they arrived to discover that the body had been removed. They knew where to go, however, and at Dr. lCnox's surgery they found the remains in a tea-chest, ready for a hurried dissection. Both Hare and Burke were ar- rested and brought to court. Hare turned King's Evidence to save his miserable skin, and af- ter an all-night trial beginning on Christmas Eve, the sentence was passed on Burke to the mu- sic of the bells, HORSE LOVER The incident occurred beside an equestrian statue in a London park. A small boy asked his father what the •statue - was. "Charles I, my son," he replied impressively. The boy gazed in awe, delight- ing his father who was pleased to have his son •interested in an- cient monuments, When it was time to leave, the boy was upset. "Goodbye, King Charles," he sob- bed. "I love you!" The proud father beamed over the obvious outburst of -.patriot- ism. Then, as they turned away, the boy asked suddenly, "Father, who's that man on King Charles?" Mi�ald,He las Organize An association of "Bald -Pates of the tl,$,A." has Men founded In Port Arthur, Texas, The ass0- ciation's purpose Is mainly to en- courage bald -heads who, It says, more often than not tend to suf- for from an inferiority eotnplex. Another of its aims is to .create an international link between bald -p oa in countries all over the world. •The members at this `new association are universally men,' lebou'rerg, ctaerehatts, com- pany directors, chimney sweeps. ,At their first meeting recently, with heads uncovered, the mem- bers of,the club marched through the town, accompanied by maids of hotdur. They carried large banners and transparencies withsuch inserip, tions 88."Girls prefer heads with- out fur," "We are free from the hairdressers' tyranny," "There is no law to cover your brain with " straw," and -'"Don't hide your head under a bushel." While on their • march, a bold hairdresser tried to sell them wigs, and hair -growing remedies. But the man was quickly relieved of his goods, and saw them burn- ed afterwards on a huge pyre by the contemptuous "baldies. Each year the association in- tends to elect the man with the most shining head as their mas- cot. The regulations for this com- petition forbid the use of polish. Mrs. Peggy Jekins, a widow, has been made honorary presid- ent of the association, because in a marriage advertisement she had written: "I am looking for a marriage' 'partner with bald head, as airmen of good charac- ter are •recognisable by their mirror-like skulls." Now, with so many men to choose from, Mrs, Jenkins finds herself on the spot. She Ate The Evidence Brezlllian lawyers are still lattggting at one Of their col- leagues who succeeded In get- ting his client acquitted on a counterfeit charge and then ac - opted five one -hundred dollar bills for his fee, When he took them to the bank he discovered they were forged. Almost as funny was the case Of the Tokio taxi-driver who had his cab stolen and hailed another to. take him to the police station, Once inside he realized that he was , riding in his own taxi, Because his rivals were adver tieing their cars at "give-away prices,' a Vancouver dealer of- fered a model as "a theft at one thousand'. and seventy dollars," He did not see it any more after the first night. A detective watched Mrs, Do- mogale walk off with eight rolls from a Detroit baker's shop, The joke was on him' when he got her to the station to charge . her. She had eaten the evidence 6n the way. . But the story which amuses everyone in Monte Carlo, except the Casino authorities, is of the suicide wha walked off with the money. When the run of suicides has been too high for a period, ofe- eials:have been known to race out into the gardens when they hear a shot and fill the dead man's wallet to prevent, another "broken gambler's suicide" story reaching • the papers. They slipped twenty-two thous- and francs into one young man's pocket just as the police arrived on the scene, The "corpse" jump- ed up, wiped teniato'juice from his face and walked off with the money and police protection.

Grew Thirty Inches In Just Three Years The first experiment to save woman from remaining the size of a ten -year -Old child is report- ed e ort•ed to have been an unqualified success. In 1949, the bone structure of a 141/2 -year-old New York school- girl was no more developed than that of girls ten years and nine months old, Her height was only 4ft. 6in. Doctors injected somatotropin, a hormone which had produced astonishing results with stunted animals. Now, at 181, the pa- tient is a 'petite, but adequate, young woman, five feet tall.
