why a mnn as .voting as Mr. Kastlake

There wa- such a storm of objection
te Mrs. Hcinekin's testimony that the
witness became oetitiiM-d. "Yeu will
make me forget what I hnve te say,"
she protested.
Prosecutor Maye explained thnt the
purpose (if the Commonwealth was te
show that Lastlnke was net "a gedl
man. who taught his childien In recite
the Lord's prajer." The prosecutor
declnred lie would show that "Hastlake
(iiriied tne face of a hperrltc into
church; that he was leading a double
life, and thnt the church had expclleu
him."
"This is net n resume of n church

"Ne." snid Judge Chlnn. "we nre
net Interested in a church controversy."

"Brmuse his relations with that
woman were exposed, and because he
owed some money." snid Mrs. Ilelnekin.

If Knstlake is acquitted he will be

The defendant's mother, Mrs. S M.

Airy, Philadelphia, has provided the
car. which is being held in constant
readiness. There will be no attempt at
a family reunion until Kastlnke is far
away from the Virginia mob which twice
has threatened his life.
Sentiment in the community is se
strongly against him, in spite of the lack
of direct evidence that he was respon
sible for the brutal murder of his
wife, that no chances are being taken
of further violence. There Is a very gen
eral belief thnt trouble would likely fol fel
low an acquittal.
Venlict of Utility Seen
It is net vensidered likely that the
jury will declare Kastlake guiltless of
the murder. In spite of meager proof
offered by the commonwealth. District
Attorney Maye said before the trial re
opened today :
"I am confident of a conviction.
KastlaLe was u traitor te his wife. If
he did net commit the crime himself,
he at least prompted it.
"This will be the determining factor
in the case.
i "Kastlake led u dual life. Te the
world lie was the respected member of
the community u Sunday school su
perintendent. Yet he was'the man who
rented quarters for a strange middle
aged woman. The jury Is taking the
'Intangibles' into consideration, the
thingu that thev sense even If they are
net in the evidence. The sentiment of
the entire community is against Kast
lake." These who have followed the trial
closely say that the Commonwealth has
net made out even such n case of cir
cumstantial evidence as would held In
a Northern court. The community,
however. Is confident that the jure'rp
will be swayed by the sani" feeling
against Knstlake us the residents r.t

bring in u verdict of guilty in spite of
the strict law and the evidence,

Kastlake, himself, has expressed no

seems te he hopeful, the strain of the

When my dun returnelh te the dust again
On thy truth relylnc through that mortal
strire.
Jesus take me, dying, te eternal life.
"Buckncll has nlwnys held Director
