The entrance of General Smedley Tf. Bitler, into the Republican sena torial primary race against him. tailed today to shake Davis from an earlier decision against making a rigorous speaking campaign. At the time he announced his candidacy as an anti prohibitionist, uavos saia: "It is less than two vears since I have been before the wople as a cauuiuaie ior me onice 1 now noia, which time I made a complete canvass of the Commonwealth, and during the past summer J.

Three years ago today the body of Charles Wesley Hykes was found near the most easterly pavilion in Reservoir Park. A few days later the death hammer was found, bloodstained.

We saw that hammer a few days ago. It's in the left coat pocket of Officer Miller. Who wielded the hammer? Why? These questions for more than 1000 days have gone unanswered. But that doesn't say they won't be. Cases are never closed on State Police dockets until the guilty party has faced trial.

Forgot to remind you on February's extra day that that was ex actly five months after the body of Doris Whitmore, scantily clad, was found in the shabby house in Cherry street Sept. 29, 1931. Bill was assigned to that case late! This column expects results ultimately! Bill was on the Harry Bowman (river killing) and Howard Dinger (cornfield murder) cases and got the answers! JUST IMAGINE!

He tells it in this fashion "The girl had the clock set slow and I sed the last car to the city from Camp Hill. It leaves there at 25 minutes of 12.

Welly Jones, who outpoints Old Timer in memory stretching and knows sports backwards and forwards, up and down, darn near put a bicycle in a repair shop the other evening at Third and Locust. No, Welly wasn't riding the bike to cut down his waistline. Another fellow was doing that not so good either. He swung around the corner, socked the Telegraph sports editor.

Welly came out of the encounter with a skinned shin and up smiling. You can keep a good man down. WATCH NO. 1 1. Name the five living widows of former Presidents of the United States? 2.
