LAWSON BLAMES MURDER TO BOOZE
Youth Who Killed Delphi Nightwatch Makes Statement —On Trial For First. Degree Murder. Charles Lawson, who has confessed that he killed night marshal Gus JScallon at Delphi, was brought from Logansport to Delphi Wednesday. On Wednesday morning in the circuit court of Carroll county Lawson was arraigned to answer a charge of first degree murder, preferred by the Carroll ounty grand jury shortly after the homicide". When seen by a newspaper man in the Cass county jail shortly before the start for Delphi, Lawson seemed very much composed and said he would ‘be glad when the case was settled. He was asked if he intended to plead guilty when arraigned, and i replied, “No, I would be foolish to plead guilty to firslt or second degree murder. I may have a chance if the lawyers take an interest in me. 1 did not intend to kail the night watchman and it was not Charlie Lawson who fired the shot. It was booze.
“I have no one to blame but myself, though. I was a good fellow with the boys. I had loafed around with the gang all evening playing pool and drinking and finally some one suggested that we go to Delphi. “Before we started, one of the gang who knew I had that gun insisted that I take it along. I told him that I did not have it with me, and he said he would go with me to get it. We went down home and got the gun, and came back to where the gang was. We then fought a quart of whiskey.” In the conversation he said he intended to ask for a change of venue. The court has appointed Charles B. Pollard to defend him, but Lawson said he had not yet had an interview with his attorney. Although there is still much feeling against Lawson at Delphi it is not believed that there will be any resort to lawlessness while he is in the custody of the Carroll county authorities. The law firm of Hanna and Hall and W. C. Smith will assist Howard ¥. Brockway, prosecuting attorney, in looking after the state’s interests.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1915.
JEMISON’S FAMILY TAKEN TO MONON
Russian At Long Distance Defied Authorities and Showed Revolver and Said He Would Use It. Loren C. Sage, who lives southeast of town, saw Louis Jemison and talked to him for more than an hour last Sunday. Jemison told him that he had escaped from the penal farm to which he had been'taken a week or two before by knocking down one of the guards and taking has revolver. He Showed Mr. Sage a big pistol, which he had loaded full and also showed him a pocketful of cartridges and said that there were no fifteen men in Rensselaer who could take him. He said that he had been at his home in the Sharon neighborhood for several days and that he had spent a day or two in the orchard near the Sage home watching them fill the silos and he mentioned the names of the men Who were at the Sage home. Jemison said that he was going to Russia but had hoped before he left to get a chance to even up with the officers here who caused his arrest.
Sunday Mrs. Jemison and the it three children were taken to Monon in an automobile and it was after they had gone that Jemison talked to Mr. Sage. He said he was coming to Rensselaer before he left. He is supposed to have come here that evening and to have gone to Monon on the night train. A message Vas sent from the depot to some one at Marion telling them to notify the authorities at the penal farm that Louis Jemison, who had escaped, was on his way to Canada and would be at Michigan City Monday. The message was signed “Thom,” it is understood and presumably it was sent by Jemison himself as a ruse to throw the officers off the track. It is believed he has gone some place to again lave with lis family, whom he had said he would desert. Jemison is a bad egg, apparently, but if he remains away from Jasper county no one here will ye any the worse off if he never goes back to the penal farm or to the reformatory for breaking out. If he takes his family away and keeps them from becoming a public charge it will be a 'blessing. Some think that his bark is a great deal worse than lis bite and the way he carried on at the jail after his arrest indicates that he does not have nearly as much nerve as he claimed to have.
Do the People Want to Select Their Candidates?
W. W. Miller was over from Mt. Ayr today and paid The Republican a visit and the experience The Repubican had in conducting its “straw” primary Was discussed. In reviewing the result of the ballot in The Republican we said that we believed 75 per cent of the people *were not prepared at this time to express intelligently their choice for governor and senator. Mr. Miller stated that he ] feels that this is true and he has just a ltitle doubt as to whether the people are going to tumble into the primary with the fulj interest that should characterize a people whose welfare largely depends upon those who represent them in office. He reated a little experience he had at Mt. Ayr last year. The most important offices in any township perhaps are trustee and assessor, particularly the trustee. In Jackson township the time to elect a new trustee was approaching and Mr. Miller hit upon vhat would have been a splendid plan of determining whom the voters considered good timber for the office. He bad cards printed which read: “My preference for trustee is ” He passed these around freely and asked that they be filled out and handed in to J. R. Sigler at the bank. Many took the cards, asked what the object was, were told and should
readily have seen that in that way they could have secured an expression of the public and have determined upon the very best man, if the judgment of the public is good. But individuals could not be thus interested in a thing that concerned their township so much and only five persons returned the cards. It is probable that when the primary election is held next March most of the voters will turn out, but it is evident from conditions at this time that there will be many who won’t have much of an idea wbo they are voting for unless they devote some time between now and the first of March a getting acquainted. William Howard Taft once said that in the final and calm judgment of the American people their judgment was quite invariably correct, but that under excitement they were often apt to commit themselves by hasty action to a policy that was far from right. We hope that the primary will demonstrate the calm judgment of the people and if it does now is the time for the people to begin getting acquainted with the candidates. ; V7T
Perkins Sees Trouble For U. S. At End of the War.
Indianapolis, Oct. 12.—Speaking before 150 leading members of the progressive party in Indiana, George W. Perkins, of New York, chairman of the national executive committee of that party, declared here tonight that industrial chaos would result in this country after the European war is over, through the flooding of the markets of the U. S. with European manufactured products. He asserted the only solution of this problem was in a non-partisan tariff commission such as was proposed by the progressive party in 1912. "William Dudley Foulke, of Rich T mond, was toastmaster. Other speakers who painted to evidences in Indiana and the nation of a need for remedial legislation such as Mr. Perkins proposed were Judge Theodore Shockney, Union City; Clifford Jackman, Huntington; Frederiik Landis, Logansport; William A. Pierson, New Albany; Willjtts A. Bastian and W. D. Headrirk, Indianapolis.

Rhythm of the Long Ago.
Explanation in Another Column I often recall when I was young, And wore knee pants, my son; What fun I had out there among The trees; how I could run. And used to come to town each week To hear the old band play, Or in thorn grove play hide and seek And dream of the big show day. We used to fish in the old mill race Or go to the sulphur spring, Or down to old Mike Nagle’s place Some watermelons to bring. But the old town band, I hear it yet; Jay Zimmerman with the snare; Those good old times I*ll ne’er forget When I rode the old dun mare. Judge Healey was the city squire Who ruled without a fear; ’Twas always the judge’s great desire To marry them far and near. Hale Warner played the big bass horn, Lou Roberts the big bass drum; Best music ever since I was boro, La, how they made things hum. Went out each fall to the county fair, Shelby Grant was at the gate, Rode right, in on the old dun mare, She was an ugly reprobate. Alf McCoy gave a mutton roast, Sam Yeoman had the sheepskin 'band But the part I always liked the best, John Alter sang The Gooseberry Jam. Fred Phillips and the wild west show Aiid the Fourth of July was fun And Abe Watena could make anvils go During the battle of Yorkey’s Run.
JOE BELL ACQUITTED OF ELECTION FRAUDS
Mayor of Indianapolis Goes Clear After Long Trial—Evidence Conflicting. (Special to The Republican.) Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 13.—Mayor Joseph E. Bell, who was on trial for election frauds alleged to have been committed in Indianapolis, was acquitted today by the jury that heard his case. The state failed to produce evidence directly connecting him with the irregularities that beyond doubt existed and many of the star witnesses for the State weakened when on the witness Stand, whi’e the evidence in many cases was conflicting. The trial lasted almost five weeks.

BOSTON ANNEXES TITLE IN NINTH
With victory in his grasp, Alexander weakened in the ninth inning and Bill Carrigan and hia Bed Sox became the new owners of the world'* championship. Alexander opposed George Foster on the hill and for the second time in the aeries the little right hander edged out in front. Going into the last round of the game the Red Sox were beaten bunch, the score then being 4 to 2 against them. Then there was a loud crash and when the dust had settled the score board showed the Red Sox leading 5 to 4. Three homers had done the business and given Boston a second championship in two years. The feat of three homers in a single inning in a world's title series has never been equaled.
