For a long-time, until retirement three years ago, she successfully conducted a millinery and art needlework store on West Main street, Waynesboro. In younger life she taught in the public schools of Waynesboro for a number of years and was beloved by her pupils. From girlhood Miss Coon was affiliated with; Trinity Reformed church as member, choir singer and teacher in the primary department of the Sunday school. Few women of Waynesboro ever enjoyed as high a degree of popularity among young and old as she.

On two occasions he had observed her taking cocaine, once by injection. The co-ed became cross and irrit-able for some unexplained reason and developed a desire to hurt him and to scratch him. Often in their "love nest" she assaulted him. Later she would deny she had done this. Finally, he used to jot down in a notebook these occurrences and when she returned to a normal frame of mind he would tell her about the "altercations" and just how she had mistreated him, Soft Drinks --C.

So much in demand has been this training that it has been practically Impossible to keep classes within the bounds of their regular hours for this work, and it has been jieces.wy to keep open shop'all day touring one week 70 boys re-tei ed in the leather-working classes. 1 By arrangement made by the Came Keeper, Mr. Epahr, with fie game department of the state, an exhibit of wild game animals was held at Camp Rothrock for several days during the season. This exhibit was brought to the camp motor truck, end the animals were housed in metal cages. Among the live specimens was a fawn, two months old, a pair of baby beaver, a pair of bear cubs, and a curly lynx or wild cat.

It is needless to say the exhibit was an attractive feature of the week and the lectures given by Mr, riaster. the attendant, who was formerly from Shippens-burg, were very instructive as well as entertaining. A contingent of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund boys from the tenement district of tho east side of New York arrived In camp on Tuesday lo spend the remainder of the season there as guests of residents of Cliambersburg. It is a new experience for these New York boys and they were thrilled with the Idea of It and soon fitted into the camp life. A feature of the Wednesday afternoon was a treasure hunt which kept the boys out on the trail all the afternoon.

At the Wednesday evening campflre which was "staff nfght" a mock wedding proved to be a great mirth provoker to the -boys who were free to enjoy the pleasure provided by the staff. The two large whale boats secured 'from the for the camp -have 'provided a great amount of fun for the boys. One of these has been fitted up as a sailboat and its is a great sight to see it come a-sailing down the lake. i Among the pioneering projects which the campers have completed 1 a large rustic bridge, 6 feet wide and 50 feet feet long. They have also blazed a trails leading to Pole Steeple which enables campers to follow this well-marked path up the a coodhowh mountainside to the peak from from which a good view of the val-' ley may be had.

A large number of boys have become interested in Archery and have made their own bows and arrors for target work on the athletic field. 'This work has been supervised by John Osier of the Medical staff of the camp. Dc.ald Oeiser of Waynesboro, Perce Frldinger of Shippcnsburg, John Welgie cf Bluo Ridge Summit, and Frank Eriner of Carlisle won a free week in camp because of being the outstanding camper during their regular period in camp.

Theora Hix, slain campus beauty, became transformed into a "tiger woman" in her attitude toward him In the weeks Immediately preceding her tragic! death, according to Dr. James Howard Snook fromer Ohio State university professor, who today resumed the witness stand to disclose details of the "last quarrel" that provoked him into killing her with hammer and knife on a lonely rifle range on the night of June 13. Calmly, and without the slightest trace of emotion in, his voice the tall, bald-headed, scholarly looking defendant, told the jury Miss Hix nagged him, slapped him, cursed him, threatened to tell his wife of their clandestine love affair and even declared she would shoot him. He was as self-contained on the stand, as he sat there with legs crossed and apparently relaxed, as If he were propounding a theory to a classroom of students. "Nothing I did suited her toward the end," he exclaimed, almost petulantly.

"She thought I wasn't making enough of a fuss over her," Snook portrayed the quiet, retiring co-eel as "a two-man woman." He related in detail and with shocking intimacy her secret love affair not only with himself but with Marion T. Meyer, another former Ohio State university professor. He branded Theora as an "experimenter with drug," not only on herself but on him. He spared the dead girl's character not a whit in his remarkable recital to the jury in the presence of a thronged court room of spectators. This morning, when Snook resumed the stand In his battle to save himself from the elctrlc chair, his direct testimony was ncaring its climax.

Ke had reached the point in his astounding narrative where he wa3 leading up to the event3 immediately preceding the murder. Later, he was to be subjected to rigorous cross-examination. Miss Hix, ence so sweet and trusting, became mighty hard to handle after their "affair" had run a course of three years, Snook revealed. She wasn't the same girl he had set up in a "love nest" when they were madly infatuated with each. Frequently, they had quarrels in the "nest" and while they were out motoring.

Several times she refused to get out of his car when he was about to start on a trip alone and "dared" him to throw her out. She had got to the stage where she was taking drugs of an aphrodisiac nature and she was adminis-' Macaroni Noodles 2 for 25c Spaghetti Mueller's can 2 for 25c Home-grown Celery. 2 bunches 25c Anne Arundel Lopes. .2 for 25c Country Potatoes pk.t 49c Sunkist Oranges 19c New Sweet 3 24c New Onions. lbM Gc Amtieti J1 fi e.
