TO KEEP SHEPARD GIFTS Season's Greetings Again we wait the dawn of a new year, clos ing our present one in commemorating the birth of the Man of Galilee, whose example and precepts 9f have been the beacon light of our civilization for ,f nearly two thousand years. jl We are resolved to make this coming year a g better one than the one now closing. q Its trials and tribulations, mingled with its joys fif and exultations, we feel are but stepping stones to a better and more wholesome future. A Merry Christmas to You is Our Sincere Wish 1 Philip STuoacUL San Antonia Grace Brandon, up on whom Major Shepard. found guil ty Monday of the murder of his wife, showered gifts and endearing letters, said Tuesday she would not return his gifts and that she had learned three things from the trial. "One is." she said. "I will never marry." "I have also learned." the Brooks field stenographer con tinner, "never to remember anything and never to write letters. But I have decided the most important is never to marry. Look at Major Shepard! If he hadn't been so anxious to get married he wouldn't be in all this trouble." As for the presents, including a $1,500 automobile. Miss Brandon made this explanation: "I have paid for everything Major Shepard has given me by going thru the ordeal of the trial and everything which went before it. "I understand he is hard pressed financially on account of the trial and needs money to make an appeal, but that isn't my fault. If he needs money, I suggest that he marry that widow in Denver who furnished bond for him when he was first arrested and who, I understand, is very wealthy."
