The murder occurred in the Meadowlark Tavern, near the junction of Crystal Lake. Both mett were employes of the tavern. . Pleads Self-Defense . Self-defense was the plea of* the defendant. Atty. Stuart Krohn of Chicago made an eloquent plea for the freedom of the young Filipino. He asked the jurors to just use common. sense in theif9 verdict. Attorney Krohn's argument came after Attorney Russell Allen, assistant to State's Attorney V. S. Lumley, made a demand of the jury to bring in . a verdict of guilty. State's Attorney Lumley concluded the case following Attorney Krohn's argument. There were three forms of verdicts the jury could return. They could find the defendant igtiilty and fix the penalty at death.! The state questioned the jurors on this at the opening of the trial. a The secohd form is life in prison •• ' manslaughter.; Throughout the trial the little 100- pound Filipino perched himself on thfej edge of his chair. He took in every phase of the case and watched the jurors and witnesses with keen inter-; . est. On the stand himself he was a good witness.

VISITS SCENES OF HER CHILDHOOD Mrs. Viola Coleman Toye, 80 years •Md; of Chicago, with her niece, Mrs. D. R. Collins of Evanston, spent a few -hours in McHenry Thursday, visiting scenes made'familiar to Mrs. Toye by the descriptions given of them by her mother, who at an early date, lived here. Mrs. Toye, who makes her home with her son, H. C. Toye, a commercial artist, at 228 East Huron street, Chicago, was born in McHenry and lived here with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Coleman, until she was four years old. Dr. Coleman, a graduate of Rush Medical College, and his "bride, Jane Grout, were married at Waukegan, after their courtship here, and where he continued to practice medicine. From McHenry they moved to Minnesota for a year and then to Decorah, la., where they made their permanent heme. Mrs. Toye remembers many names to whom her mother often referred, among them being those of Dick Bishop and the Owens, and for the first time since she left here as a child Mrs. Toye returned to visit scenes which she felt were familiar ones. Among other places she visited the Coleman lot in Woodland Cemetery, where her grandfather is buried. Mrs. Toye's grandparents, John and Fannie Coleman, came here from Vermont and took up land from the government in the early '4Cs. The parents of Jane Grout, Mrs. Toye's * mother, were also early settlers here, Mr. Grout being a farmer in this locality, McHenry " is always eager to welcome Old Timers and hopes that Mrs. Toye may now, more often, return to the scenes of her childhood.

TO THE TAX W DUKER SPEAKER OF EVENING Urging more non-partisan meet ings at which the vital issues of the government may be studied, Supt. C. H. Duker of McHenry, spoke on the topic, "How Can We Ptoduce A More Honest Employe in Our State and Elective Offices?" at the monthly meeting of the McHenry County Business and Professional Woman's Club held at Niesen's restaurant in McHenry, Monday evening. The subject chosen by Mr. Duker was taken from a list o£ topics given in the club magazine for discussion ^t meetings and was a most timely one» coming as it did, preceding the important election on November 3. The question was found to oe a puz zling one, with no one having a solu tion for it, although various methods of improving tlw^ personnel of public office holders were suggested. Among these suggested improvements the fact that perhaps a longer term" of office might help with the incumbent not allowed to succeed himself, to have better trained government officials, although educational requirements would not be desired, extension and freeing from politics the civil service, and principally more nonpartisan meetings in which vital questions of government could be discussed and real issues studied without reference to party politics. People should be trained to think for themselves and this is being accomplished in the schools.
