MAN GOES TO; PRISON ON EVfcDENCE OF^SONS.I(They Weigh Hard Question and De-■ cldc for Mother; Home arid T - Peace Against; Father. ' i1£i%lt;\i**11(Bast week in the court notes was the item that James. Noblet had been!1 sentenced to prison on the charge of larceny. Behind the few lines was^ i • h • • •the story of unusual heartaches and the solution of a problem that fortunately many people are not called]t1upon to solve, the problem when the ( iron- enters the soul and the basic --hpassions of the race struggle for control, when* one must weigh the question and decide whether one’s own testimony must send one’s own father to prison. Do not think that all of the tragic i ’ scenes of life happen within the pages * of the last best seller in fiction or thousands of miles away in reality. Do not think that when you wipe your eyes over some sad J scene at the pic- j{ ture show that more tragic scenes than j: were ever fitted on the screen have*' ’to fc . , , ■ * X ■ / . m • ...not been enacted in real life, some of them right here at home.What would you do if your word, one way or the other, was to brand your father as a felon? And what would youi do if you feared that; if your father was not branded as a felon and accordingly placed behind prison bars that some night when your beloved mother was asleep your fathermight come to her home and burn the house or fatally injure your mother?Some months ago Mrs. Noblet secured a divorce from James Noblet. Their son, John, a manly young, man, then told in court of the family troubles, how his father was a kind manwhen sober but that whisky had he- j comei hi^ master how the son, John, \ had helpedv ^%buy forty; acres near Rains to wn to 1; get his father into the country; how John, earned his money by traveling and he could not be at home all the time to look after his mother.C After; the divorce was grantedNoblet ^worried (the family at times andJfohn^aritl^^^ester^^lped him out of escapades. Only a short time ago, they secured his release from a charge on the father’s promise to leave the state. But he had deceived them opce more and continued to molest th^ family.In December; Noblet went to the family’s house and took a horse, buggy and harness. The horse was claimed by his son, John, and tlie bug- i gy and harness by his son, Chester. Noblet was arrested in Indianapolis | while trying to dispose of the property. :V*; ;i;.:; ■ ■■ ■-yy y..y-y’The prosecuting witnesses were the two sons, and Noblet was found guilty arid sentenced to prison for from oneto fourteen years. v* , jSo the tragedies that break hearts ] happen right here in our own com- j munity. %imAA WTnTT irAfHTn?T» rv T 4 W
