Denver to new Orleans Trip By Comboy Was All a Fake

on a bicycle, claiming that be wai on his way to New Orleans from Denver, Colo., making the trip by the ordinary bicycle, was a fraud, and we are willing to beUeve it. While a number of newspapers published Camboy's story, P is possible tha* his claims were regarded a little doubtful every place he went. The Herald says that the boy ran away from hii home in Lafayette and that he was recognized at Wolcott and an end thus made to his romantic tale. Comboy found little trouble in interesting people all along the route of his travels and papers norfh of here published his claims. He talked at various country school houses and at St Joseph's college. He is an audacious little liar, at any rate, and could turn his wierd fantasies to account if h”> would put them in writing and get a yellow cover for them. Possibly jt is the reading of cheap novels that put the Ideas into his head. The boy was taken to his home last Wednesday.

Ministers of County Attend Federation of Churches Movement

The local council of the Federation of Churches movement met Monday at an informal luncheon held in the Makeever dining room. The following officers were elected: „ Rev. J. C. Parrett, President. Rev. C. N. Mcßrayer, First Vice President John M. Ott, Second Vice President Rev. H. A. Brock, Treasurer. , X N. Leatherman, Secretary-. The council aims to bring representatives of all denominations together First, to study the common welfare; Second, to avoid the waste of man and means arising from the unnecessary multiplication of churches; Third, to strengthen weak churches covering the same field, by merger, withdrawal or federation where this is practicable, and Fourth, to unite Christian sentiment and effort of moral issues and lor the public good. The council adjourned to meet again at the Makeever house at 12 noon on December 4th.

Little Samuel Boy Not Yet Ready to Leave Hospital.

Little Thomas Samuel, the 6-year-old son of Willis Samuel, residing 4 miles north of Remington, is still confined in St Elizabeth’s hospital in Lafayette. His mother is assisting in caring for him. Some three weeks ago the little fellow was in an automobile with his father and other members of the family on their way to Indianapolis on a pleasure trip. At 9th and Columbia streets in lAfayette Mr. Samuels’ car colided with a street -car and little Thomas was thrown out and one wheel of the street car passed over his right hand. He was taken to the hospital and it was-expected that it would be necessary to amputate the hand altogether. By careful surgery, however, the index finger and part‘of the second finger were saved. The other fingers and the thumb are gone. The little chap will be brought to his home, it is probable, in a few days..

Coach Parker Reached Half Century Mark in Football.

Coach Harry Parker had more than an ordinary interest in the result of last Saturday’s football game. It was the fiftieth game played by Rensselaer in which he has coached. When the contest was over and victory perched on the banner of the Rensselaer school he was pleased almost beyond expression. It is doubtful if there has been any town or city in Indiana that year in and year out has had such consistently good football teams as Rensselaer, and Mr. Parker’s diary of results shows that of the fifty games played under his coaching 37 have been won, 8 have been tied and only 5 lost. It is a record" that both the coach and the town can feel proud of.

shorthand heajy, weighing about 155 and heavy eyebrows. He was qujet and was pnable to weak much English. The witness said that bis father was paying Kemper 322 a month. Kemper worked about six weeks the first time and when he was leaving young Pool? said his father offered Kemper 35 Kemper, he said, looked at the money and said. “Five dollars. Oh, hell!” and refused to take it. Poole then told him to write and he would send > to him. In October or November, 1909, Kern per returned. He said that he had seen a letter in which Kemper asked for money owing to-him written be fore be returned to the farm. He then testified as to a conversation between his father and Kemper a few weeks before Kemper disappeared. Kemper made a demand for his money and Poole put him off again. Kemper insisted that he wanted bis money and became angry, walking away toward Swanington. After he had gone Emory testified that his father exclaimed to him and his mother. "That — r is going to 'Swanington to make me trouble. If he does, I’ll get him/’ Kemper returned that night and nothing was said.

Young Poole said that there were two shotguns in the house. ProsecuteKimmel banded the witness a single barrel gun. He identified it as one of the guns, and said that it belonged to his father. The state then introduced the gun as evidence and the jury examined it. Prosecutor Kimmel took the witness at the beginning of the afternom: session. Emory stated that he had never heard Kemper mention any intention of going away before December 12. On that afternoon, he said, he first saw bls father at the barn, as he was returning from hunting skunks. Emory said that he had a rabbit, for which his father asked and was given. The witness then said that he went into the house and ate his dinner, alone, in the kitchen, going into the dining room after having eaten. He said that he saw water on the ynoleum and asked his father about it. The latter told.'him that he had spilled some slop there and had mopped it so his wife wouldn’t see it. Emory then said he saw blood on the writing desk and blood spots on some papers which protuded from it. and that the blood spots were sprayed. At this point Judge DeFlart excused the jury and explained to the state and defense that it was important to prove whether the blood was smeared or sprayed. If it was sprayed, he said it would show that it had struck with force, such as blood would spurt from the spot where* a blow had been struck. The jury was called back and the examination continued.

The witness further testified that he saw blood spots on the curtains in front of the cupboard and that they were sprayed, not smeared. He also said that there was a piece of flesh that looked like brain lying on the couch. It was egg shaped and an inch or two long, he 3 said. He picked it up on the fire shoveK.and threw it Into the coal bucket iSnory stated further that he saw blood which had run down the partition between two stalls in the horse barn He said that when he returned to the house that Sunday afternoon the dining room carpet was hanging on a fence, with one end wringing wet. His father brought it in when he saw Mrs. Poole coming, the boy said. There was another place on the kitchen door he stated, a spot about the size of a man’s hand that had been rubbed and washed.

The boy stated that he had no conversation with his father about Kemper. The witness said that he saw a pair of Kemper’s overshoes in the house that night, and also his best shirt and cuff buttons. That night he went for a neighbor boy, William Baismore, and Poole, Miss Grace, Baismore and Emory played cards) The next day the three men butchered four hogs and the state produced two large maps of the Poole farm and house, on which the witness showed the jury the spot where the butchering was done. Entrails of the hogs were left in the yard for'two or three days, he said, and then his father put them on a wagon of manure and hauled them toward the east field. The . boy was asked concerning bis father's condition Sunday night, the day Kemper disappeared, and said that , bis father was very white ami

nervous, that he kept watching the road and .couldn’t read or get interested in cards. . Jv The witness said that Kemper war called by his father, "The Dutchman ’* One morning while he was in bed pretending sleep, he said that his father entered the room, looked at Mtn and said, “You - , I wish I had you where the Dutchman is.” Emory then told of the finding of the mutilated and decomposed body buried In a field. With a rod, be prodded Into the spot and the rod sunk In. With a spade be started to dig upd eKhnmed somq pieces of bone. He then

TheXd wm taken out though there was a little hair, dark and wet Tbe skull was in many pieces the the largest being'the lower part of the face.: There was a fracture from the forehead to the ear and the top was .-rushed. \ 7 The state then asked why Emory I said nothing to his father about seeing the blood spots in the dining room, but the defense objected, the jury Was dismissed and afte rdiscussing the question. Judge DeHart bus tained the defense. The witness Sail that on the following day Dec. IX 1909),he had said something of it to his mother, that before fiat he hadn't been alone with her. That concluded the state's examination and the defense took the witness.
