IS ALMOST TOO BAD FOR THE STATE PRISON.

Clem P. Farwick, who was recently found guilty of attempting to poison his seventh divorced wife, when he was tried in the Hamilton county circuit court, is now behind the bars of the Michigan City prison where he is now known only by number and will serve a term of from three to fourteen years. x When Farwick, in charge of Sheriff Eador, of Noblesville, arrived at the prison, there was some hesitancy about receiving him, on account of the nature of the crime for whica the old man had been convicted, that of placing poison in a well to kill persons against whom he held a grudge. The clerk of. the prison said he had never heard of such ah offense and looked up the law covering the crime before he would accept the old man.. Farwick is the only man of the 1,300 prisoners who is charged with an offense of thdt kind. Mrs. Lee Yorky and daughter, who had been guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Reed, returned this afternoon to their home in Chicago.
