venue.
out despite his clear conscience, the
stone cutter walked into the sheriff’s
office last week and confessed, Sheriff
Stevens said.
Stenhouse, according to his story,
was unable to forget the deed and fre-
quently went on drinking sprees to
bolster himself up to keep his secret.
In his confession. Stenhouse said he
came home intoxicated one night to
find the child in a stupor. Three
weeks before he had purchased the
drug, but did not have sufficient cour-
age to use it.
This night, he said, his wife was ill
in another room, and, stimulated by
liquor, he decided to end the child’s
life. He saturated a cloth and placed
it over the boy’s face. Then, he said
he called the family physician. The
doctor having attended the youth nu-
merous times, issued a death certifi-
cate that the child died with a brain
infection.
Stenhouse said he told his story to
his wife and she advised him to keep
quiet, because she felt the boy was
better off.
Last week Stenhouse confided to
his daughter Ellen, 13, that he killed
her brother. He said he then be-
came alarmed because he did not feel
the child understood his motive.
Fear that some day the child or
himself might make an unintentional
remark caused him to go to the
sheriff.
“My daughter was all broken up.
I don’t know what made me tell her,”
Stenhouse said.
Habitual drinking, he said, often
caused his wife to threaten to tell of-
ficers the story1. He doubted she
would ever do this because of the
fear he might commit suicide.
worked had just resumed operations
after a shut-down of more than a
year. He stated they were using cot-
ton from various countries, including
India and Russia. He sent along a
sample of the Russian cotton, which
local buyers classed as “middling,”
with a sample of 7-8 to 1 inch, but
which had apparently been poorly
ginned. The letter stated that about
ten per cent of the, cotton used in
that mill was from Russia.
The English government takes care
of the unemployment situation in that
country through the “dole system,”
according to Glover, worthy men in
the ranks of the unemployed receiv-
ing a weekly allowance from govern-
ment funds. This dole amounts to
about $3.60 per week for married
men, and about $2.50 for unmarried.
Conditions are improving slowly, if
at all, the letter stated.
RUTH REFUSES TO SIGN
CONTRACT ON 1-YEAR BASIS
BILL DESMOND AND FRANKLY
FARNUM IN CAST OF NEW
BILL AND ANDY FILM
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.--“I think
I’m worth the other $10,000,” Babe
Ruth said after he had received his
new contract, “and I’m sending the
contract back. I think they’re carry-
ing this cutting business too far and
making a joke of it.”
Babe was asked what he would
consider a fair contract.
“Well, I think $70,000 for two years
would be all right,” he said. He said
he did not plan to communicate with
Colonel Ruppert and that the next
move was up to the Yankee owner.
He left the inference that a one-
year contract for $80,000 would be
all right.
While Bill Cody and 12 year old
Andy Shuford do not fail to present
their consistently great performances
in Monogram’s “Oklahoma Jim,” op-
ening today at the Leroy Theatre,
this remarkable photoplay could al-
most be said to have an all-star cast
when the galaxy of big names of yes-
teryear in the supporting case is giv-
en consideration.
Playing the leading supporting
roles are William Desmond and
Franklyn Farnum, both famous stars
in their own right, Ed Brady, famous
delineator of '“bad man” roles, Si
Jenks, outstanding comedy character,
and pi’etty little Marion Burns, lead-
ing woman on the legitimate stage.
In addition, the Indian characters
selected by Director Harry Frazer to
play prominent parts in this Mono-
gram masterpiece include many who
have made names for themselves for
leading Indian roles in other produc-
tions. ' I 1
Bill Cody, as usual, gives the won-
derful performance that has so en-
deared him to the hearts of the young-
sters in the audience. As “Oklahoma
Jim” Kirby in the title role, Cody pre-
sents an hitherto undisplayed talent
in his clever manipulation of cards
as required by his part as a gambler.
The story itself, in its closely knit,
well-organized fast-moving presenta-
tion,, is clear evidence of the success
of Monogram’s policy of letting the
directors write their own stories when-
ever possible. Director Frazer has
certainly put his heart into his pre-
sentation, and the finished product
for sheer merit stands as the master-
piece of his Monogram program.

NOTE GINNED INTO BALE

TERS FROM MAN IN ENGLAND
JURY FAILS TO INDICT
‘ IN MERCY DEATH
(Rockdale Reporter)
Back in the fall of 1915, Louis
Lewis, Rockdale citizen and' farmer,
was waiting in a local gin for a bale
of cotton. As his bale was being
pressed he dropped a note in the
press. The note was addressed to
whoever might find it, and requested
a report on the final destination ^f
that particular bale, together with the
price paid for samev
The following summer he received
a letter from William Glover, an op-
erative in a cotton mill at Lancashire,
England. The letter stated that Glo-
ver found the note in a bale of cot-
ton going through his machine, and
that the mill had paid four cents
more for the cotton than Lewis had
received for it in Rockdale.
Since1 that time Lewis and Glover
have carried on a desultory corres-
pondence, and last week another let-
ter from Glover gave some interest-
ing information concerning financial
conditions in England. Glover stated
that the cotton mill for which he

grand jury today refused to indict a
father who killed his baby because it
was incurably ill.
Fifteen men and women who have
pondered the case since Monday rec-
ommended that James Stenhouse, a
stone cutter of Killbuck, near here,
be given a sanity test and if found
insane be committed to an asylum.
He had confessed to slaying his 2-
year-old son, David Oscar.
The “merciful killer” maintained “I
know I did right.” He said the baby
was suffering with a brain disease
which the doctor said was incurable.
He chloroformed the child two
years ago to spare his wife the agony
of her brief, he said in a confession
as related by Sheriff John A. Stev-
ens. Mrs. Stenhouse/-!1 standing .firm
with her husband, was the chief wit-
ness before the grand jury which took
up his case today.
