Logansport Booze Causes Delphi Boy to Commit Murder.

Wallace Thompson, 22 years of age, son of a Delphi butcher, while under the influence of liquor at Logansport last Saturday night killed a companian, Ray Kimener, by hitting him in the head with a brick. Tuesday Thompson was tried and sentenced to prison for life. He entered a plea of guilty. The Monticello Journal objects to our statement that “Bill” Nordyke is from that town. If Bill waited for some one to claim him he would be a man without a country, we expect. We understand that Bill hails from Seafield, which is between Reynolds and Wolcott. ’He should thus be credited to Monticello, his county seat -town, even though the esteemed editors of the Journal don’t feel inclined to view his residence with favor. He will be looked after here, however, for the next three or four months and may decide that it will be prudent to cut bootlegging out and return to farming, at which he is said to have worked indiiptriously and to have maintained the respect of the people up to a few years ago. Hiß~Ws partner; Messenger,oneof Governor Marshall’s pardoned murderers, wiH also be on our hands for a while yet. It Is hoped he learns a good lesson during- his punishment and will engage in som& honorable pursuit when he gets out of jail.
