Bird replied. "Lady, I don't even
know what you are talking about."
"Yes," said Mrs. Stribling, rais
ing her right hand, "I raise my hand,
he's the man."
Then she said to Bird:
"Why don's you confess and tell
the. truth about it?"
Bird answered, turning to Shot
well, "Mr. Shotwell, I'm innocent."
Dr. Aaron McMillon. of the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, said after
the interview that the association
is convinced Bird is innocent, and
will do its utmost to defend him.
Bird was to be rushed at once to
an Iowa prison, Deputy Attorney

He had agreed, however, to wah'e j
extradition and will be whisked out

Bird was taken to Mrs. Harold
Stribling's room at the Lord iLster
hospital a few minutes before 4 i
o'clock today.
"There was never any question j
about the identification." County At- j
torney Northup of Council Bluffs
said, when Bird was brought to the
; hospital from Lincoln. He added
that Sunday Mrs. Stribling told him: 1
"If I was on my dying bed, I
would saiy that he was the man."

About three hundrez persons were
at the hospital when Bird arrived.
Omaha police and deputies, armd.
were present to prevent violence. The
mob, however, was orderly, show
ing only great curiosity to have a
lock at Bird.
The suspect was kept waiting five
minutes in the hospital lobby, while
officers talked to Mrs. Stribling, and
she prepared to see him.
Then he was led in, accompanied

rival. A. V. Shotwell, attorney, one of
the group at the hospital, declared
that he was still convinced of Bird's
innocence and that so long as he
held that belief he would defend him
against any charges which might be
brought.
All boys and girls asked to join.
There are no fees only your good

Here's the idea. Santa Claus needs
a little help to take care of all the
extra boys and girls he has on his
list this year and he is asking his
many friends in Plattsmouth to Join
this Golden Rule Club. Gather up
all the toys and playthings you have
about the house that you can spare
and take them down to Mr. Christ's
Furniture store. Santa has made ar
rangements with the city schools
Manual Training Department to take
these toys, repair them and repaint
them and fiix them up in good shape
for Santa to give out to these extra
boys and girls on Christmas eve.
Also if you have any sweaters, cr
coats, or dresses or suits that you
have ootgrown send them down to
Christ's store, as Santa has a great
