With the jimmy the boys had pried a hole about a toot ifl diameter in the brick wall of the store, but had given up further work when they found a wooden partition would prevent them from entering the store. They next tried to pry open the front door and had almost succeeded when frightened away by the approach of the officers. According to Officer Roper, he and Harris were standing opposite the Consolidated store when he noticed two men crawling on the pavement around the west eorner of the store. Roper followed them while Harris went around the back of the new furniture store to prevent the men escaping that way. The boys were caught back of Menloves photo studio, and immediately confessed to the attempted burglary. The hacksaw and flashlight were found on one of the boys, while they had hidden the jimmy back of the store. ng Impressive Funeral Services Held for Adrian Robison Funeral services for Adrian V.

This Is the Ninth of a Series of Articles - Penitentiary War Tax Having fiddled his way to. the Express of a full pardon from the promise at Huntsville, state penitentiary Texas, Enrique Rosoplo, a Chilean artist and musician, spent Christmas in freedom. Rosoplo is a sentimentalist, and his experience has taught him the the part that music may playheupon learned human feelings. When recently that Governor Pat M. Neff was about to make a vlBlt of inspection to the penitentiary, he asked the warden for permission to send to his old home at El Paso for one of his mellow-tone- d violins. The permission was granted and for several days the convict practiced appealing and stirring chords upon the instrument. When Governor Neff came Rosoplo was all ready to make his strange appeal 'for executive clemency. Neff met Rosoplo in his rounds of the prison and the latter asked permission to play for him. For an hour the governor was entertained with the soft strains of the violin: Rosoplo played as he had never played beWhen he rendered "Home, fore. Sweet Home upon the Instrument tears streamed down the face of Governor Neff. It was then that Rosoplo made his verbal plea for freedom. He told the governor he would lead an upright life it allowed to return to his family and friends. Investigation showed that the man was a noted painter and musician of Mexioo, where he was well known to many people of political and social prominence. Letters asking that he be pardoned came to Governor Neff from the governor of Chihuahua and other officials of Mexico. The offense for which Rosoplo was convicted and sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary was that of stealing diamonds in El Paso. Before leaving Huntsville, Governor Neff promised that Rosoplo would receive his freedom as a Christmas gift. ft ft ft ft ft ft, ft ft HIGH PRIEST MEETING ft f- t. ft ft ft CHRISTMAS CHEER - The salesladies of the J.
