ing the "Mighty Doris" ?ho?? In 1S21
and of working a "wheel** with Mohr.
Teleg rams were produced which paste."
batucan th? pair and then Powell !
launched for four hoars on what was
practically an uninterrupted narratire.
"Mohr told m?,H h? ?aid, that after
the murder he would be manager af
the show and would give ma $75 a
werk. I fuese I got between $500 and
$"00 altogether! of tbe $1,000 before I
wa? arrested."
Under cross examination, Powell
eaid his confession of the crime wa?
voluntary. He admitted, however, that
ha waa scared the night he made it,
but would not aay what had frightened
him. At thia point counael for th?
defense began to lay ground work for
the plea they will nut forward that
Powell ia insane ana was out of his
mind at the time he confessed. Asked
if he barked like a dog in jail. I
dignantly denied it, but admitted h?
baa bumped hie bead against the wall
so ne could be eent to the hospital.
Asked on cross examination why he
had allowed himself to be swayed in
direeted by Mohr, Powell sai<i:
He worked me up to it. He had me
craxy talking about it, I knew th?
deed was wrong, but the way he talked
he made me think it wa? right. 1
never really believed it would happen.
I foolejd him on it for five months. Yo?.
I did it for the money. He di-in't bave
any book? on ms that I bad to do what
be wanted me to do. But ?II our con
versfttion from the beginning until the
killl.ig waa about erirae. In my own
he?rt I never w?nted to bill Bru?en."

Theoirious roethcd erf filling porr*

apside down after they have been
tied?is a striking exampleof prog?
ress made in industrial processes.
Until tw?*nty years ago, ?cement
sacks were filled practically as all
other sacks always had bisen. You
had a hupe bin of this finer-than
flour material. A workman at the
door of the bin hung a sack up,
with its mouth open, on a wooden
frame and filled it with an ordi?
nary shoveL Then he set it on a
scale, and with a hand scoop ad?
justed the weight of the contents
to the exact 94 pounds required,
?liter which he tied the sack by
hand and tossed it on a truck to
be hauled into a freight ?tar.
That was the ways little ?is twenty
years ago? and ncpne had thought
of doing jf differently.

The filling machine is costly, and
