I GIRL'S THEFT OF NOTES. I I Llandovery Servant's Lapse. At Llandovery Police Court on Friday, Nelly Evans, a domestic servant in the employ of Thomas Davies, Pantypedol.

LOCAL TRAWLERS SAIL. I The first local trawler to proceed to sea on Saturday morning was the Lenbos." She was closely followed by other boats, principally of the Castle line. We were informed by the gailow and Firemen's Union that the difficulty at Milford was due to the fact that certain engineers were outside tfie Uniotj, but that this had been satisfactorily adjusted. I Upwards of twenty boats were expected I to have proceeded te sea to-day.

DRASTIC ACTION. I I American Strike I Prohibited. i j Government Secures I Injunction. Indianapolis, Friday (received I Saturday). J An injunction restraining all officials of the United Mine Workers from goin;.j out on strike at midnight to-niglit has been issued by the Federal Court here. This injunction is a temporary one, and was granted on the Government's repre- sentations that a national disaster was impending," and on the broad principle that Government should be empowered te enforce its laws in order to protect its people from calamity." The injunction will continue in force until after the formal hearing on Novem- ber 8th. The Government emphasises the fact that the case does not involve the general right of workmen to organise a strike, but merely the right of labour during the war to restrict or destroy the supply of food and fuel." I DRASTIC PROHIBITIONS. I Under the injunction, union officials are commanded to withdraw the strike order, and are forbidden to send out any other orders tending to promote a strike and to restrain the send ing of any mes- sage of encouragement and exhortation-" They are also forbidden to disburse union funds as strike benefits. The war-time Act of August, 1918, makes it unlawful to conspire to limit facilities for the transportation, supply or distribu- tion of food and fuel. The Government's petition in the Conrts. charges the Miners' Scale Com- I mittee with attempting to intimidate the con low n ex Mr. lawis, acting president of the United Mine Workers, after being served with the injunction writ, -,aid:- The injunction is a most sweeping arrogation of the rights of the citizen under the Constitution, and will not pre- vent the strike, but will only complicate to a further degree the problems involved ia the adjustment of the controversy"— Renter. I Washington, Friday (received I 1 Saturday). I I Troops arp being sent to the coalfields, I and every precaution has been taken to prevent trouble. I READY FOR DUTY. A provisional battalion of veterans of the 1st Division, aggregating 800 men, has he-n ordered to proceed from Louisville immediately to the West Virginian coal- fields for duty in the event of any dis- order arising. The battalion is composed of infantry and marhin"unners.- Renter. I Washington. Friday (received (Saturday). The Departmellt of Lebour has been in- formed that the order for th. coal strike has bafn rescinded in Hopkins, Webster, and Christian counties, Kentucky. These counties comprise half of the coalfields of W?t<'rn Kentucky, employing 6,000 men. I 

t DECIMAL COINAGE. I Opinion of Ex-Chance'lor of u Exchequer. Mr. Iveginald McKenna, a former I' Chancellor of the Exchequer, and chair- man of the London Joint; City and M:d- land Bank, says of the metric system thaot he is in general sympathy with the t introduction of a decimal system of poin- age. In his opinion such a system would greatly simplify and consequently econo- mise labour in account-keeping of every description. It would be of assistance to internal, commerce, &nd by making our values more easily convertible into their equivalents in foreign currencies would be helpful in the development of our ex- ternal trade. The change could be effected with a minimum of disturbance and in- eonremence to the community. 11 INCREASED EFFICIENCY. I The adoption of the metric system of wedffhts and measures in this country would also increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes, and facilitate the calculations involved in the market- ing and distribution of goods. If it were established, it would be of great advan- tage to us in our trade relations with other manufacturing and trading coun- tries, &U of whih. with the 801e excep- tries, of the United States of America, alrqady nee this system. But, he feared, it could not be introduced without con. siderable dislocation of existing arrange- ments.

NOT GUILTY. I Both Brothers Discharged. FARM MYSTERY I UNSOLVED. The Cardiganshire farm mystery re- mains unsolved. The trial of the two brothers, James Evans (21). and William Joseph Evans (16), ended on Friday, when the jury unanimously returned a verdict of not guilty." They were charged with the wilful murder of their mother, Sarah Evans (56), and her sen. Samuel Evans (22), at C'tawddmoel Farm, near Ystrad, Car- diganshire, by shooting them with a shot gun. The Judge (Mr. Justice Bailliache), in summing up, said the evidence was purely circumstantial. Samuel oould not have been back home from Ystrad station I before eleven a.m. on- the day of the I tragedy, and the person who committed I the murder must have been in the house when lie returned. There was & body of evidence which seenied to show that James Evans was in Lampeter long boiore 11.45. If he was, at eleveu a.m., he could not have bocn in the house later than ten a.m., and, therefoie, was not there when Samuel returned. In his opinion it was a case of considerable doubt. PURCHASE OF BICYCLE. I Referring to the movement of \V uuara Joseyfe Evans, his Lordship said if they accepted the evidence ot the shopkeeper at Temple Bar and his wife that the boy called at the shop at 11.25, he could have been at home at eleven or thereabouts, but he could not have been if they ac- cepted the evidence of Evan Henry Jen- L kins that he saw the boy on the platform, at 11.35. Regarding ta8 purchase of a bicycle by William Joseph, the Judge said it wa>- more than shocking to suppose for a moment that a lad of sixteen would shoot his mother because he wanted £1() to buy a bicycle. It was one of those things (said the Judge)' that seemed to be quite impossible, but at the same time one had haard that strange crimes had been committed by people and for motives which were actually and absolutely in- adequate and insufficient. It was a most unfortunate thing when on the next day there was some inquiry by the police and I others about the missing money the lad did not say anything about the bicycle money. He said something about it afterwards when it was discovered that, he bad bought a bicycle. The Judge said one would not press that against him too hardly. 'I INEXPLICABLE THING. I His Lordship referred to the fact that I the lad did not take the bicycle home to show to his mother as he bad told the shopkeeper, and asked—Was it because that the bev had no home to go to and that he knew the only people at home were his murdered mother and brother? It wos a very astonishing thing, and to him a quite inexplicable thing, why W;- liam Joseph did not ask. when infomed I of their deaths, how his mother and brother came by their deaths. Was it bce?M he knew how they had oome by their deaths? The jurv retired to consider the ver- dict, nnd while they fiiM back into court, after an ahsent of about twenty minutes the two brothers stood up and showed ro signs of agitation. I BOTH DISCHARGED. I In reply to the Clerk of Arraigns (tlle I Hon. Stephen Oleridge) the foreman an- nounced that it was unanimously the ver- diet of the jury that, both accused were not guilty. The two brothers were discharged, and before leaving the dock the younger brother I wired deferentially to the judge. I A lnrg'? crowd waited outside the Guild- hall to receive the verdict. THE DEFENCE. j Mr. Hunter intimated that he proposed to call the two prisoners, and so far as the- d('fl'ncf' bad been able to find people who saw the accuse on any material j tll(,S(, Y.-oiil(l be called. j .Jame Evans, the e lder of the accused then went into the witness box. He ap- peared quite cool, and displayed no emo- j tion in giving his c.-idence. When asked bv Mr. Hunter if he had anytliiiig i do with the murder of either his mHher or brother he answered quietly." No, sir." Replying to Mr, Hunter, prisoner aid that in 13i(> i*nd 1917 he was avray from home. In l!>lf> ho was working at an- I other farm for about 11 to 12 months. and he then went to work at the munition works for about oijjht months returning home in July. 1917. His brother Samue. was a prisoner of war in Germany. and on release arrived home or the 1st Dec., 1918. and after that there was a discus- sicn at home as to whether himself or his brother Samuel should stay ot the farm. Tie (witness^ wantod to go away to sea. and took steps with a new to getting a shin, but up to the time of the murder had not succeeded in getting a ship. Mr. Hunter: Did you know that John ¡ Lewis Fjvans. your eldest brother was bom before your mother was married?— —No. I DAY OF THE TRAGEDY. I Prisoner stated that Clawddmoel had only' two rooms, and on the day I the tragedy he and Samuel slept in the parlour according to the usual arrange- ment, and his mother and Wm. Joseph slept in the kitchen. Wm. Joseph, who was the first to leave home that morn- ing. carried two hags. one containing his clothes and boots, and the other his food. The next to leave the house WM his brother Samuel, who went with a horse and cart to fetch basic slag from Sstr»<l Station. He (witness) next left the house soon afterwards for Lampeter, where it was market day. leaving his mother alone in the house.. Mr. Hunter: Was she alive or dmd?- She was alive. Witness said he could not say the exact time he left the house for Lampeter. He "tmt along a footpath. and came out to the Lampeter-road near Lampeter, and later he received a lift in a cart to Lam- peter. Prisoner mentioned the people he saw on the way. and gave an account of his movements at Lampeter. He said he had been asked by his mother to go 'his Lampeter to ask about the health of his I aunt, and the first he saw at Lampater was David Rees Evans, who enquired about the health of his mother. HOW HE FOUND THE BODIES. Prisoner said that the first thing he saw on arriving hfcme at Clawddmoel about 4.30 p.m. was the body of his biother Samuel lying in the passage in a sitting position. He touched him on the face, and found that he was dead, and the body was cold. He crossed over the body .f Samuel to the kitchen where he found his mother stretched on the floor. He put his hand on her face, and the body was cold.. „ Mr. Huatw. Was th&re arw gun or anything like that lying about —No. NO QUARREL. He added that he went to iienarad, tile nearest house, to give the alarm. Reply- I ing further to Mr. Hunter, he said lie did not know what money his mother had. He only knew of a deposit receipt for £20 in the joint name of his mother and himself. and also the sum of t26 in the joint of himself and Wm. Joseph. It was his mother who put thijÕI money in the bank. His life and that of William Joseph were insured. Mr. Hunter: Had you had any kind of quarrel with vour mother or your brother Samuel?—No. Roferring to the cartridges he boughti on the day before the murder, witness said they were for his brother Samuel. had not paid for them < Mr. Hunter: Had you plently of cart- ridges in the honsel-Yfe. CROSS-EXA M I NATION. Cross-examined by Mr. Llewelyn Wil-I lianis, prisoner said he knew that his mother bought Clawddmoel. and that she had three cottages, but he did not know that she had money at the bank, or that! she had insured her life. Mr. Llewelyn Williams: I suggest that you were not willing to go away and leave the farm for Samuel to work there. Prisoner: I wantod to go away and my 1 brother wanted to go as well. ACCUSED BOY'S EVIDENCE. William Joseph Evans, the younger brother, then went iiito the box. Hie demeanour also was quite oool. He demed having anything to do with the murder. He had a conversation with his mother on the morning of the tragedy about buying a bicycle. He had spoken to a cycle dealer at Aberayron about the matter in the previous school term, at the request of his mother, who on the "morning of the tragedy gave him twelve tl notes to pay for the bicycle and El due for his lodgings. He was instructed by his. mother also to go to Maesygolea Farm to ask if they were planting pota- toes. He went to the potato field at Maesygoleu on the way to school, but saw mo one there. He oould "o that the field was not ready. Mr. Hunter: Why didn't you go straight to the station from there to go t.) school ?—I could- not have caught the 9.27 a.m. train, and then I had plenty of time to stay. Witness said he stayed in a field, and then, after calling at a shop at Temple Bar, went to Talsarn Halt, and left for Aberayron by the 12.15 train. MT. Hunter: From the time yoijleft ths house immediately after breakfast did you go back to Clawddmoel thati morning at all?-No, sir. Witness said he knew nothing of the six tl Treasury notes found with the algebra book. Replying to the judge, he said it was not his book. The Judge: Then why did you sign your name on the oover ? There were other names there, too. The Judge (to counsel): I do not think you need pursue the question of the book. I think the point with regard to the book has entirely failed. I do not think there is anything at all in it my- j self Mr. Llewellyn Williams (to witness): I suggest to you that you never went to the potato. field t-I did. You were fetched home from Aberr- ayron with the news that your mother and brother were dead. Why did you not ask how they came by their death?--The lynrs was enough. Was it because you knew already how tbllv bad come by their death ?-No. When inquiries were made about your mother's missing purse on the 30th of April why did ýn not volunteer the statement that she had given you £12?- They never asked me about it. I suggest you took the purse after your, I mother had been killed —No. Can you suggest anybody in the neigh- bourhood who had any hostility towards you or your family?—No. Can you suggest any motive for this crime?—No. Further witnesses for the defence were called. I NO PROOF. Mr. Hunter submitted that tie prose- eution had hopelessly failed to discharge the burden of proof that was upon them. and could not, therefore, ask the jury to say that these two boys were guilty of this terril. and cold-blooded murder. I The ease for the prosecution amounted to no more than that there were auspicious circumstances, and that the account the I accused gave of their movements on the day in question was not strictly accurate. The judge's summing-up folTbwed, and the verdict was as stated.
