County Diners Listed Mrs. Joe Daniels, matron and stew ardess of the county Jail, testified that ss fsr as she oould see, the Jail was efficiently managed, that a sav ing had been effected, and thaf'or- der and decorum was maintained" by Schermerhorn appointees. On cross-examination the matron admitted, that T. L. Brecheen, In dicted for ballot theft, "ate several times." at the jail table, and that O. H. Brown, secretary of the "Good Government congress," was a "fre quent diner." She said Attorney Tom Bmnght, and Attorney Newton W. Chaney had "eaten a couple of meals."

To thought he was unfit, beoause of .the evidence gathered In the ballot robbery the public doeant know a fourth of It." Du.lng ths examination of Nellson, the ecurt asked Attorney Newmon to be brief, and "not go too far afield. I want all the facts to be brought out, but I dont want any acrimon ious feeling to crop out there hss been too much feeling already in this county.

OF (Continued from Page One) that Banks' brother and attorney were expected to arrive late yester day, and confirmed Mra. Banks, state ment that additional counsel would be employed, "and would be welcom ed." The state now claims to have a complete picture of what happened In the Banks home, for an hour be fore the wanton slaying of Constable Presoott, and that neighbors and pedestrians gave testimony relative to the a i rival and departure of persons and autos at the murder scene, over a "rather long period " The grand Jury, which Is scheduled to meet again thla week, for further consideration of testimony in the county turmoil, is expected to take further aotton in th case of E. A. Fleming of Jacksonville, orchard 1st. who was in the Banks home at the time of the killing, snd was arrested when he attempted to riee by the back door. Fleming Is also one of the men indicted in the ballot theft case?. His family for several weeks endenored to keep him from becom ing v-mrbolled In the "good govern ment congress activities,' without success. He waa an active worker and ta laer In the ranks. No time has been sot for the ar raign mont and plead 1 n g of Ba nks and his wife to the first degree mur der charge. It is not likely to come to pass until after their attorneys have had a chance to study the case, and prepare necessary 4egal papers., It is not likely that the district attorney's orflca will be ready to proceed until the grand Jury has completed most of Its work. Both sides have expressed a desire for an early trial. State police continue to collect evi dence In the murder and allied crimes. They are checking back on the past of several of the men ac cused. The authorities jefuse to deny or confirm the report "they have plenty of confessions, and the whole story."

"Keep your head down" is a fun damental rule that applies more to the ahort game than to any other phase of golf. All short shots should be played with very little pivot, a short back swing, and full forward swing. Don't try an easy awing on these shots. They must be hit firmly. The distance la controlled by the back swing. If you bring the club head back only two feet from the ball, you can depend upon a dis tance of 38 to 30 yards; from three to four feet a firmly hit ball will travel B0 to 76 yards. These short approach shots must be worked out on the fairway and greens of your own course before you can show; marked improvement in your score.
