Conboy, an attorney of I d Hammond, Ind., while pteading before •. the board for me parole of Albert, ;, Musser, who has been In the state v , prison fourteen years for the robbery I, | and murder of Mrs. Ixiulsa Stoltz at t lortland, says the Indianaiolis Star. ■ In response to a request for an oppors tunity to explain, Mr. Whipple was in-1 e vised to come before the board. It ;; was charged that Whipple aided In' ■. convicting Museer, though he knew: s the accused was innocent. John U Smith of Portland, an at- -: torney who assisted in the prosecu-1 , tion of Samuel Marshall, confederate f .of Musser, who is alleged to have con- j t fessed to his attorney following his r acquittal to having actually commiti ted the murder for which Musser is' I being punished, appeared before the| > board yesterday to protest against' i the parole of Musser. i "While Marshall was acquitted by one Jury and Musser was convicted Jby a second jury, I am satisfied that • the naked circumstances were Buffi-, ■ cient to have hanged both of them,”. ■ declared Mr. Smith. i Albert I>. Thomas, president of the : board, requested Mr. Smith to send to i the board an abstract of the evidence in the Stoltz murder case. The board announced that a thorough investigai tion of the murder and features which i have developed will be made before it is decided whether Musser is to j ' obtain his liberty or continue serving a life sentence. Mr. Conboy, in addressing the board charged that Whipple and his law ‘ partner, now dead, entered into a • contract to assist secretly in the prosecution of Musser and that they helped to fasten the crime on Musser after they had been Informed of a con-, session alleged to have been made by Marshall, whom they had defended, that he choked Mrs. Stoltz to death when she resisted, while Musser, who had cautioned against violence, re- | mained on the outside. While Musser denies any connection with the robbery or murder, his attorney, granting that he really was an accessory to the crime, argued that he had spent a sufficient number of years in prison to warrant his parole. S. A. D. Whipple is well known to Adams county lawyers, and Musser ! is said to have lived near Linn Grove, I this county, at one time. The Musser case was tried before ' Julge J. S. Dailey, judge of the WelleBlackford circuit court at the time, and the verdict against Musser was returned by a Blackford county jury. John T. France, deceased, of this city, helped defend Musser, and Jay Hindman assisted in the prosecution. Several from this city attended the (funeral of Mrs. Charles Trenary, a } life-long resident of Preble township, ‘ this county. The funeral was held at ihe Zion United Brethren church, con- ' ducted by the Rev. J. W. Lower of Os- 1 i sian. Interment in the Tocsin cemetery. The Rev. Iziwer presented the I following in memorial to the deceased: j Barbara A. Trenary, wufe of Charles Franklin Trenary, and daughter of Enoch and Catherine Reiff, was born in Preble township, Adams county. Indiana, August 1», 1866, and died at her late residence near the place of, her birth, December 8, 1912, aged 46 , years, 3 months and 19 days. She was united in marriage with Charles Franklin Trenary, February 7, 1889. To them were born ten children—four sons and six daughters, all of whom: are living, save one daughter, who died in infancy. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Trenary, from childhood, has been in Preble’ township. S?.e was an industrious, woman, and toiled earnestly to care for her children and husband. She i spared no effort to make the home, comfortable and happy. She lived largely for her family, and with patience and fidelity she bore the trials of life. She was an affectionate wile, and a true loving mother. Although not a member of church she was m sympathy with the church and things that were sacred, and ready to lend encouragement to the cause of Christianity, and those of her family who were religious. Her death was occasioned by paralysis of the heart. It is to be hoped that in the closing months of life, she resigned all to the will of her God. Her death has not. only occasioned a vacancy in the home, but in the large circle of relatives, neighbors and friends. She will be greatly missed, for her sun.seemed to set while it was yet day. SI e leaves to mourn her departure a husband, nine Kreig of Lender, Wyoming; William Pearl Hilda, Garth, Ralph, Kenneth, 110 and Edna; also an aged mother, one sis-

Result —Decatur, 50; Juniors, 6. Such basket ball as the Decatur aggregation played has seldom been witnessed on a local floor. There was no stopping the lads from the near- ■ 'by city and they shot baskets from all angles of the floor, frequently with a Turner apparently riding them to death in a frantic effort to break the dashing play of the visiting aggregation. Shoemaker and McConnell, the visiting forwards, starred at basket-get-ting, Shoemaker leading with ten field goals. Core likewise took a promi inent part in the foreign lad's offensive play. The defensive play of the I visiting lads was superb, as evidenced by the fact that but one field goal j was registered by the Turners, who are generally there on shooting. The visiting athletes did murder all the way through and at no time was j the final outcome of the game in , doubt The score at the end of the first period was 27 to 1. A-large crowd of Decatur fans accompanied ! the visiting aggregation to this city I and each DecatUf fatl shrieked his head off as Shoemaker and his two “side kicks” piled up their numerous markers.

Berlin, Dec. 13—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Dispatches from Con- ! stantinople today say that the Turkish ' and Grecian fleets were in a terrific naval battle in the Aegean sea. Washington, D. C., Dec. 13—(Special to Daily Democrat)—How John D. ' Archbold, boss of the Standard Oil, and the elusive quarry of process servers, is himself assaying the role of subpoena servers for the money trust investigating committee, was the interesting story which leaked out here today. Spice is added to the spectacle in that Archbold is the exofficio agent of the committee and his prospective victim is William Rockefeller. House officials found they 'could not get near Rockefeller with i subpoenaes and It was stated that {Archbold had agreed to help serve the subpoenaes on Rockefeller. When court took up this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, Peter Heimann, one of the jurors, announced that he was ill and would be unsble to serve this afternoon. Judge Merryman then adjourned court for the afternoon, excusing the jury until tomorrow morning. Thus comes another halt in the trial of the State vs. Eli W. Steele, and it is quite certain that the case will extend into next week. The trial began a week ago last Monday. Mr. Heimann's physician stated that his illness was not serious, being a bilious attack., resulting from too close confinement in the warm room, as Mr. Heimann is used to much out-door life. It is thought he will be recovered to take up the work again in the morning. At time of adjournment, Mr. Steele was still on the witness stand. He had been on since 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon.
