Holiday visitors and town life fill the season mood
Local notes describe Jas Houtman and many guests in town for Christmas. Des Moines travelers, relatives, and students return home while shoppers pack the streets. A judge’s death, wireless progress, and a Christmas program at First Reformed add to the festive bustle alongside finals, coal mines, and a shooting match ending with beef shares.

Price of Justice and the Molineux Retrial
The Price of Justice questions how wealth influenced the Molineux murder retrial and acquittal after years in Sing Sing. It argues the first verdict harmed justice, requires costly delays and appeals, and left an innocent man branded as a killer. The State bears responsibility for the harm to his family and finances, with little accountability.
