Mombasa Catholic Archbishop John Njenga wondered why Kaca was
set up in the first place when it was "illegal and
unconstitutional."
"The whole circus needs lawyers to interpret but as lay people,
we are shocked by the ruling," he said by telephone.
On Friday, a three-man High Court judge of Justices Mbogholi
Msagha, Johnson Mitey and Kasanga Mulwa dealt a serious blow to
Kaca when it stripped it of powers to prosecute crimes and
deferred some 14 corruption cases pending in court to be taken
over by the AG.
They included the trial of Cabinet minister Kipng'eno arap Ngeny,
former Permanent Secretary Wilfred Kimalat and former Nairobi
Town Clerk Zipporah Wandera.
The High Court ruled that the law under which Kaca was
established clashed with section 26 of the Constitution, which
says only the Attorney-General could prosecute criminal offences.
"This was clearly amplified by the government's throwing out of
the List of Shame and it also failed to debate the
Economic Crimes Bill before going on recess,'' he said.

Very Zealous for the Lord
In the Amarna letters, it is the "rebel Mesh" who continually
dogs Ahab (Aye/Rib-Addi). However, in the Kings narrative the
Lord (Akhenaten) sends the prophet Elijah to put Ahab in his
place.
Elijah is immediately directed by "the Lord" to go and "hide."
Elijah first takes refuge in a ravine where he is fed by "ravens."
Next he becomes the border of a widow named Zarephath (
"refinement") of Sidon. Zarephath represents one of only a few
positive or neutral recollections of Queen Tiye. Zarephath is a
transposition (metathesis) of Zipporah

Elijah Rodgers, son of Jacob and Mahala (Bedford) Rodgers, was
born 4 October 1834 in Guysborough (Guysborough) Nova Scotia,
and died 19 June 1925 in Provincetown (Barnstable) Massachusetts.
He married 15 December 1863 at Toby Cove (Guysborough) Nova
Scotia,
Zipporah Ann Horton, who was born 22 February 1838 in Cook's
Cove (Guysborough) Nova Scotia, and died 6 March 1920 in
Provincetown, second daughter of Charles S. and Eliza (Hanley)
Horton.
Elijah and Zipporah resided in Guysborough until at least 1881
when they appeared there on the census. Elijah was "39" and
occupied with fishing and was a member of the Baptist faith.
Zipporah was "39" and was a Wesleyan Methodist. At some point
they moved to Provincetown and resided at 72B Commercial St, at
the end of Cape Cod. Elijah died of arterial sclerosis,
Zipporah of senile debility, and they are buried together in
Gifford Cemetery in Provincetown.
By 1913 he was exhibiting in Boston and Cleveland with Charles
Hovey Pepper, Carl C Cutler and Maurice Prendergast. Webster
also exhibited at least two pictures at the 1913 'International
Exhibition of Modern Art (Armory Show).' He later worked with
Albert Gleize and exhibited with Demuth, Zorach, Spencer and
Tworkov. Babcock Galleries' first exhibition of Webster's work
occurred in 1965 and since then his paintings have been included
in many shows including The High Museum of Art's 'The Advent of
Modernism.' Webster devoted his extensive travels to finding
light enshrined color. When he found it, he painted with a
force and vigor that even today is astonishing.
RED HOUSE, PROVINCETOWN demonstrates the vitality and
exceptionally modern vision Webster possessed.
Sister Addie and I had a memorial window installed in his memory
in the rebuilt Baptist Church at Cuba, which bears this
quotation, "The Memory of the Just is Blessed."
ELMER ALONZO HAMILTON, a farmer, born 12 October 1841, died 20
July 1870 in Hinsdale, when struck by lightning. He is buried
in Lot #11 in Cuba Cemetery.
My father [Charles Munson] was always kind to me, gave me
spending money, took me to the circus, etc., but he was of the
stern type, quite hard of hearing, and so much older than I that
we were never pals.
His cuss words were limited to "I swanny," and "By George," with,
on extreme provocation, the expletive reported to have been used
by General Cambronne at the Battle of Waterloo. He was hard-
working, thrifty and a good manager. While not painfully pious,
he was regular in church attendance, always asking the blessing
at meals, and conducting family worship during the winter season.
Sister Addie and I had a memorial window installed in his memory
in the rebuilt Baptist Church at Cuba, which bears this

Killed by Lightning. On Wednesday last, Mr. Elmer Hamilton, son
of Charles Hamilton, residing on Keller Hill, in this town was
killed by lightning. The particulars as near as we have been
able to learn them, are as follows. Just before the terrible
thunder-storm of Wednesday Mr. Hamilton went over to his father'
s farm, adjoining his own, and just across the Hinsdale town
line, to grind his machine knives and repair his mower. Towards
night as he did not return his relatives began to wonder at his
long absence, and a search was instituted. They looked in every
place where it might be possible he might be found, but failed
A large number of neighbors were informed, who searched
diligently for the missing man till about 2 o'clock A. M., when
the hunt was given up till morning. Thursday morning the body of
Mr. Hamilton was found, partly screened by a haycock. By his
side, and protruding from the cock of hay was his pitchfork,
with the tine end sticking out. Close by was his hat, which led
to his discovery. One side of the head was scorched almost to a
crisp, plainly indicating the cause of his death. It is supposed
that Mr. Hamilton crept under the hay-cock to protect himself
from the severe storm, and that the lightning struck the fork
which he held in his hand.
A scandalous month-while Wm M White of Wolf Neck, Stonington,
was on a fishing voyage, his wife eloped with a gay deceiver
named Pendleton who is also a deserter from the regular army.
She left 2 children, one 6 mos. old, and took with her $500.
.........[Francis'] brother, Gordon, takes care of the
mechanical work ("We don't do any big jobs like transmission
work or rebuilding engines. We do mufflers, brakes, tune-ups,
exhausts. Yep, we do all that").
For years he's also serviced the South Yarmouth's post office's
fleet of mail vans, working on them on an outdoor hydraulic lift
installed in 1930. "Oh, I dunno, I guess they got about 18, 19,
or 20 of 'em," he says from under his cap, worn at an angle,
Rootie Kazootie style. "I work on all of 'em -- they usually get '
em down here about 5 in the evenin'. They need 'em in the day."
Behind the car, in a corner next to a pile of old boxes capped
with a dusty pith helmet, is a sagging easy chair where Gordon
can sneak a break during his long days.
