What a Winamac Paper Thinks Of Bader's Thanksgiving Parole.

Winamac Democrat Journal. The papers that hare criticized Governor Marshall for his kind act in an • thorlzing Warden Fogarty to glye Mr. Bader a temporary release are well answered in the above quotation front the news. Warden Fogarty’s humane treatment of prisoners is admired by every lover of’ humanity. And especially, as in Mr Bader’s case, do the latter’s friends commend the warden for his leniency in behalf of a model prisoner. One or two papers, which are still hounding Bader and Gov. Marshall and Warden Fogarty, should go to, for the batteries may be turned on them or some of their friends who also are likely tp come under the ban of the law. s

POOLE JURY RETIRED AT 2:30 P. M. TODAY.

Attorney Hall Talked Until Noon and Judge DeHart Issued His Instructions After Noon Recess. SpdEial to The Republican. Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 18—The Poole jury retired at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon, after hearing the instruction* of Judge DeHart which were delivered after the noon recess. Attorney Grant Hall, who had occupied the Friday afternoon and Saturday morning sessions of the court in making his closing argument for the state, also talked from 10 to 12 o’clock today. There is a quite general impression that Poole will be convicted, but it is not probable that the verdict will be death. A Lafayette Morning Journal reporter called at the Tippecanoe county jail Sunday evening and interviewed John W. Poole. In answer to questions Poole said: /

“I don’t know what verdict the Jury is going to bring in, but I want them to send me to Indianapolis where I can get treatment. I killed Joe Kemper just as I always said I did, but I believe I am insane and. have been for a long time. • “If they acquit me, I am going to my sister in Maryland and leave my family. They have the farms, I have nothing to do with them. .They may send me to the penitentiary but I won’t live very long anyway. I had r sunstroke some years ago and now I ihave smothering spells, when I can’t breathe. I am sick and can’t live very long.’’ “What would you do to your son Emory if you were freed?” Poole was asked. “I wouldn’t harm a hair of his head,” was the answer. Poole seemed very nervous and alarmed at his physical condition and asked the reporter to feel his pulse. When told that it seemed to be regular he lost some of his anxiety and talked more easily.
