There are a majority of Catholics in
the two ITater counties of Tyrone and

FREED OF FORGERY
Pisa of Helnfns Wife. Hxnevtant Moth
er. Brings Susnendcd Sentence.
The plea of a clean record and the
fact that he had violated the law in
order to provide for a sick wit*. «u*
made to a Jw in the 4.5 th district court
Monday by M. V. Hicks charged with
forgery. Moved by the pica and being
informed that the •prosecuting witness
nod tin bank on which the che<-k un-
drawn. had previously come into court
requesting leniency for the defendant
the jury granted Hicks a suspended
«• ntence of two years iu the penitenti-
•ty. ..
Hick* took the witness stand and tohf
bis story—the story of a fight against
odd* to obtain work to care for his
wife and furnish her with needed food
and medical attention. He said that
he hud forged the check for a small
am >unt when it seemed that there wa
no other way to keen hi* wife from suf-
fering extremes of hardship and misery.
It developed that tlw'money had been
• restored and that A. J. Swearingen
whose name bud been forged to the
check was willing for Hicks to have
the “chance to make good" that he re-
quented.
The jury was out only a few mhw
ntes. As it was discharged bv Judg-’
Taylor. Hicks arose in the court room
end t'iank"d them for their leniency
until interrupted by the court and told
kindly that he must not do so in the
••ourt room. State's attorneys did nut
oppose the siu nendf l sentence.
