We Made Him Take It
This gentleman has been out of work
for two months. Ho hn a wife and four
children, nnd he's done anything he could
to keep the bills paid", even to limerickin.
Folks fooled him by phone once or
twice. Also he probably had read the
slogan, "More Production Will Save the
Country." Anyway, he was that cynical
he wouldn't answer the te'ephone. It took
a special delivery letter to bring him in.

Sfctal )liinfr to Efenlna PubUr l.tJo'r
Council Muffs, la.. March rJC Mr.
Elizabeth I. Dugau. of this city, does
not (believe that Joseph "Archie" Jl
had anything to do with Mie murder of
Henry T. Peiice in Philadelphia lust
Ndcember.
Mr. Diignu. who hns lived in tills
city for many years, is n sister of Moss,
who wns orrested in Pittsburgh otter lie

"Hoots" Rogers and Marion "Al" El
liott from Hie scene of the murder of
the IMiiladclphlu iiiantifneturers' agent.
The Moss fnnuly are from Iowa. Jo
seph Moss lived with his pureius ms h
boy on the old farmstead nenr Honey
Creek. This is a small town not fat
from Council Hluffs.
Though Mis. Dugun moved to tho
city when she married, another sister
still makes her home In the little farm
house. She is Mrs. Ida F. Wiger. Hoth
Mrs. Dugan and Mrs. Wiger are widely
known in the neighborhood. The towns
people of Honey Cieek remember the
Moss family well, in tile days when
"Joe." as they speak of him, wns u
boy "down on the farm."
Sisters Loyal to Moss
Moss' two sisters arc intensely loyal
to him. They do not believe a word of
the chnrges of complicity in the Peircr
murder which are to be pressed against
him
"It would take nil the evidence that
any group of attorneys could gatner tS
convince me that my biother had been
guilty of such a crime," said Mrs.
Dugun.
"Who will blame me for helug lojai
to my brother? He hns been a kind and
affectionate brother to us, and I know
only good of him. 1 do not believe lie
would be capable of tutviug anything
to do with a murder, iu this case he
simply was the victim of circumstances.
ns almost any one might be.
If my brother went along with
Trondwoy and the others it was only
because he was under the Influence of
Honor and did not know what he was
doing. He has be.cn n heuvy drinker
for years." Mrs Dugan says her
brother Heft the farm when he was
twenty -one years old.
Will Not Attend Trial
Mrs Dugun would like to go to
Philadelphia for the trial, but does, not
expect to do .so. The sister is not in
tinunrinl circumstances to mnke it easy
for her i travel the long distance to
Philadelphia
"Hut I'll be with Joe in spirit." she
snld. "I have u feeling thnt he will
be released when the judge and jury
learn the circumstances of the cuse."
Moss will go on trial Monday In
Judge Auilenried's court, where I'etir
I). Treiulway wus found guilty of sec-ond-degiee
