'Mrs, McNally, Freed on. Charge
of Killing s "Twins," Tells
How Hoax Was Planned.
Hunmond, Ini," Oct 21. Z. ff. 8.
Mrs. Basel ilcNaily, who was charged
by her husband with the murder of her
twin eablm, la today .a ire woman.
No evidence to prove she killed the
babies, or in fact, that the babies
were ever born waa produced at the
. hearing", J ndye Henry Cleveland o
!. glared. la yesterday la dlamlssine the
caae which had set all Hammond
: I a-flutter. f ;-'.' V!-' ;
i The twins, as far aa the law ia coii
:i earned.' remain Just what the mother
said they were etraw-atuifea aum
"Wf decided. o adopt' some baWes
! and palm them off aa our own," said
Mra. McNally. "But McNally wanted
to play -with the idea, so we played it
through to the limit. Ton may oe cer
ftain that he wasn't rolnsr to miss i
chance -of his former wife's not know
ing thai he was soon to become a
V fither again.': "X
BOUGHT 'DOLLS ' -
Then she told how-ttey bought doll,
to palm them off'' as babies until they
- could i dont a boy 'and sirt! from a
children's home. vThe heads' cost $2
each, she said. :JThen they bousht . a
out rlaee bowl so they could use the
r excelsior In which it was packed to
V stuff the bodies of the doUa.
"We concluded, to hav twins, aba
said, "because our story that they were
underweight would sound more plaus
ible, for twins are not usually very
-larsce. ". - - , ' K W- '
About .the eighth of December
' everythina- was ready. McNally went
to work. Later I ealled and told the
superintendent to send Mr. McNally
home at once;
"Our hoax was all ready. . My babies
.were tiny and could-not possibly let
anyone see them. The irksome thing
about It was that I had to stay In
.; bed. 'As Mrs. Griffiths-the nurse, tes
tified on the witness stand, 'she could
help herself pretty good'."
XMAGETED IT0ISE9
She then told of unsuccessful efforts
" to locate twins they could adopt, bow
'- the dolls became a bother ' because
they lived In a neighborhood where
"thersrwere -a lot of "old married women
who Insisted on advising me as to
the care of my children so aa to make
them grow." I
"Further, 1 McNally held this thing
over my head," she said. "Every time
1 threatened to leave he'd say, now
you'd better . ha careful I'lt fix you
if you leave me. Don't forget that you
. Haven't babies, but dolls'." .
- Imagination was - what . the "doll
mother" characterised the noises peo-
. pie heard ana .the blood one witness
' reported she saw coming- from the
mouth of one of the babies.

Walla Walla, Wash..' Oct. - 21. Whl
,lt Walla county' commissioners went
on record Friday favoring appoint
ment of A. W. Kasten, Smith-Hughes

high school, as county agent to suc
ceed W. H. Talley, ;who has been ap

Olympla, Wasiu, Oct. 21, The ad
ministrative board of the state of Wash
ington, comprising Governor Xuls F;
Hart and the beads of the departments
under the administrative code, passed
a resolution opposing the' passage of
referendum bill ' No. t . commonly
known as tte ' "10-40 . plan.; -on the
ground that it would greatly Increase
taxation, for common school purposes.
The following statement was taenied:
Members of the administration board
while considering the tax -oroblema
and expenditures for the coming 1923
blennium were astonished; to find the
enormous increase in expenditures for
common school purpose awfrom 1M9 to
1921 as shown, by firrures eoinDlled in
the department of municipal corpora- J
Soserlous did the tax situation seem,
and so apparent was it that the 29-14
plan had failed to make the reduction
in school district -taxes that had been
claimed would follow, the board went
on record as opposing the 30-10 plan,
which is but an enlargement of ; the
20-10 plan.i The 2010 plan, raising
the -amount of state common, school
tax Ter census I child from 210 to S20.
Lhad been In operation for two year.
Its operaUoh, the table which had
been prepared at the request of ' the
governor showed the enormous in
crease of J7.I42.JZ5.17 for 1981 over
IS 19. the last year or the 10-10 ap
portionment. ' t
: These indisputable figures led the
bdard to' the conclusion that what had
happened when the ' 10-10 Jian was
raised to;' 20-10- would be 1 repeated
should the voters at the November
erection pass referendum No -48, "the
10-10 nlan r- - j'
With the Increase In the number of
Census children the additional. Increase
over the 20-10 for common school pur
poses In 192S under th J0-10 probably
would reach $4.090,000.. That, would
mean a total Increase for the year
1923 over 1919 of almost 9 12.900.000.
and won Id be equivalent to more, than
an ll-mill raise In taxation.

He put his hands in his pockets,
looked far back to the walla which now

Say s Farm Bureau
. Federation Did Not
' -" Slam Land Banks
Printed report ' that the' American
Farm Bureau Federation would urge
the curtailment or abolition of the
Jplnts Stock Land Banks are denied in
letter which Dr. C J. Smith of Port
land has received from J. R. Howard,
president of; the federation. '
"My attention has been called,' the
letter reads, "to a statemsnt which .p
pea red recently In a number of papers
that "the Farm Bureau Federation wui
urg- the abolition, or at least, the dras
tic curbing of the Joint stock band
Banks." -and that The loan limit of
these batiks, the federation hopes, -will
be cut from; 250,000 to $25,000, if It is
'not found possible to eliminate them
from th federal farm loan system en
tirely. ' I -
"This Statement Is absolutely erron
eous, aoi such statement ever having
been made.' Howard continues, rwe
have repeatedly said that the federal
land-bank must be given every right
in the war of amount of loan, purpose
of. loan and efficiency of operation that
is granted the joint Stock LAnd Bank.
We. have repeatedly stated that in these
times of I stress every; avenue creait
must be held open to the farmer and
we look upon the Joint Stock Land
Banks as a legitimate source of credit
which cannot well he dispensed with at
this; time: without serious loss to agri
culture. The American Farm Bureau
Federation has not. is not, and we trust
never will be other than absolutely
friendly In Its attitude toward the Joint
Stock Land i Banks. ' "
