SAYS HE WILL EXPLAIN DEATH OF 8 NEGROES Proprietor of Hleath Farm" Takes Stand in Murder Trial. COURT HOUSE, COVINGTON, Ga.. April 7.—John S. Williams, proprietor of the Jasper County “death farm" on trial for life, took the witness stand today In his own behalf. In on unsworn statement to the Jnry. he told of a visit of Federal agents to his place and their Investigation of alleged peonage conditions. "They told me they had found nothing wrong; that the worst thing they found was that one of the boys carried s revolver." Williams made a sweeping denial of knowledge as how the three negroes he was accused of slaying were killed. “Before God I am innocent," he said. “As for the other eight men killed in Jasper County, I will explain that satisfactorily at the proper time," he said. Williams referred to Clyde Manning, who accuses him of ordering the murder of the negtoes, as a “negro who has i been treated mighty good.” “They must have done something to ■ force him to make the statement he did," said Williams. “I have helped that negro a thousand times. Once he was all shot up In a fight. He had no money and I paid his doctor bills. “When the Federal agents had left my place, Manning appeared to be mad because I did not uphold him in a lie he told them. “He threatened then to ‘do something.’ as he said the defectives had told him he, as boss, was guilty of working negroes under peonage conditions.” Williams’ unsworn statement under Georgia laws prevents counsel from questioning lm. It also will give the defense counsel the last argument.

EFFORT TO PUT ROBISON OUT OF RUNNING FAILS (Continued From rase One.) .connections, Mr. Shank polrueiT'out in ' his speeches. Mr. Shank spoke at the Emerald ’ Theater last night and today at noon at the Highland avenue car barns. Tonight he will address a meeting at 1-117 Roosevelt avenue. “Professor Howe did not come Into this contest of his own accord, but was drafted by Interests who believe they couid make good use of a friend In the mayor’s office," said Mr. Shank. “Mr. Howe’s interests are in Kokomo and 1 ,am informed he preferred to go to that city and attend to them. , “Hugh Landon. who Is heavily interested In utilities stock. Is a close \friend of Professor Howe. His father was >a partner of Professor Howe’s father-in-law In Kokomo. J. Dorsey Forrest, presl- . dent of the Citizens Gas Company, is a member of the board of trustees of Butler College and was closely associated with Professor Howe when Professor , Howe was president of Butler. Kepresen- ■ tstives of other utility corporations are | actively supporting Mr. Howe. . “The things I have mentioned may seem trivial in themselves but considered it seems to me they show a pretty good reason why voters of in- ' dianapolls should not take the professor •at the value placed on him by his 1 sponsors. “I have often noticed that men who ; suddenly acquire wealth through no .effort of their own are even less ‘responsive to the rights of the people . than born millionaires." ’ “ROBISON SEEKS QUICK WEALTH." Mr. Shank devoted some time to a discussion of Ed J. Robison's candidacy. "Ed has always been bent on getting , rich quick." he said. "Someone Is spend|lng lots of money to help him in this race—more than the office pays. Jim Goodrich and Jet Moorman are his business associates. He entered this race ■with the support of four negro politicians . and gamblers and little else. That ought ;to let him out “I have lived all my life In Indianapo- ; Us, as my father did before me. No ■ man has ever questioned my Integrity. I beUeve that the fact has been established through my record as mayor that I am always responsive to the wishes of .the people and to their needs. I know 'the tax burden of the people Is unreasonably, unjustly heavy and I am pledged to reduce It." . The candidate called attention to the | fact that newspaper speculation these days chiefly concerns the question as to whether E.i Robison can beat Professor Howe and the city organization for second place. “Barring a great catastrophe I will be Bo far ahead at the end of this week that neither Robison or Howe will be able to see which way I went,” Mr. Shank said. He urged sustained efforts on the part of organization workers ‘in order that this victory may be made so decisive that corrupt politlcalna will never again dare to tamper with the will of the people nor Insult their Intelligence with such thin bunk.” Sacredness of the ballot box was emphasized by Mr. Robison In his meet- • Ing last night at 725) North West street. “Attempts to tamper with the votes cast in the coming primary are challenges against our citizenship and they mnst not be permitted,” Mr. Robison said. The speaker referred to the recent release of Tom M. Greenlee, assistant clerk •In the city engineer's office, .because he refused to stand “hitched” with the city hall organization, as an example of the methods being used by the organization to keep a battle front. > “Such conditions of coercion should not ;be tolerated and It is for you voters to decide whether or not organizations which coerce shall remain In power,” Mr. Robison said. Mr. Robison’s plea for a clean primary •resulted In a hearty response, many volunteering to assist him in keeping the -primary voting free from Intimidation or frand. Speakers addressing the meeting before the arrival of Mr. Robison pointed to his successful administration !of the office of county treasurer several years ago as an example of his ability and policy for clean and efficient management while In office.

HARRIS SAYS HE AND PAL KILLED JOSEPH ELWELL (Continued on Pa*:o Two.) urrest, finally ask<><l him to “'.ome rlom." Harris Is allseed to have at denied there was anything else to tell, hut Fiynn. taking a stab In the dark, asked him, "How about New York?” The start it gave the prisoner showed the detective he was on the right track. A few minutes later Harris is alleged to have broken down and said he would “squeal” on his partner in the Elwell murder, because the partner had “crossed” him and had cheated him out of the majority of his share of the $5,000 which they were to receive for the crime. One of the most Important developments in the case came this morning quite unexpectedly and added tremendous color to the story told by Harris. William Sherwood, a New York detective in the employ of William .1. Burns, has been In Buffalo for some time, having been employed by the city of Buffalo to try to solve the mysterious murder of I.uther P. Graves, Yale athlete and prominent In Buffalo society. Sherwood was In New York at the time of the Elwell murder and Is familiar with the details of that tragedy. This morn lag. after Harris had breakfast, Sherwood was admitted to the room In which he is being quizzed by the police. “Roy.'’ said Sherwood, “can yon draw a diagram of the Elwell apartments?” “Certainly I can,” replied Harris. Paper and pencil were handed to Harris and he drew what was declared by Sherwood to be a practically perfect diagram of the Elwell apartments. The efTeet of this was to convince the police that Harris’ story will hold up. Later in the course of questioning Harris was asked by the police to describe the mysterious Mrs. Fairchild. He said she was astrlking blonde of medium build and that her ago was apparently between 30 and 35. Her eyes were blue. She was a woman of means, according to the deduction Harris made, from the fact that she wore many diamond rings. An elaborate lnvallier pendant set with a ruby hung around her neck. He said, and she wore a gold bracelet about iter left wrist. Her clothes, Harris said, were chosen with taste. She wore a long lightweight fawn-colored auto coat and a red anil blue turban hat. Harris gave a clear description of the woman, saying he had talked to her and ridden In a taxicab with her and so had an opportunity to observe her. NEW YORK POLICE CHECK VP CONFESSION NEW YORK, April 7.-The New York police authorities are today checking all the alleged confession made In Buffalo by Roy Harris, alias G. E. B. Leonard, alias C. Carlin, that he and another man named William Dunkln, had murdered Joseph B. Elwell, bridge whist king, in his apartment here June 11, last year, at the instigation of a “Mrs. Fairchild.” It Is expected that a man from the district attorney's office will be sent to Buffalo to question Harris. Building Shows Gain Valuation of building started In Indianapolis during the first quarter of 1921 exceeded the same period In 1920 by $400,097, the quarterly report of Walter B.

LOSSES $50,000 TO $580,000 IN MAIL ROBBERY Pouches Stolen at Dearborn Station Found in Vacant Lot. BANDIT INJURES CLERK CHICAGO, April 7.—While special squads of detectives scoured the city today for five bandits who participated In the sensational mall robbery at the Dearborn street station yesterday, postal authorities arc endeavoring to check the amount of loot obtained. Estimates of ,tlie valoe of the loot ran from $50,000 to $500,000, with no accurate figures availaide. Color was lent to the possibility that the amount takpn may be large, by the finding of the pouches which contained the mall stolen. In a vm’Hnt lot on the west side. Near the pouches were a number of money wrappers, Indicating that the pouches had contained large amounts of currency and bonds. OPENED LETTERS FOI ND NEARBY. Postal Inspectors Immediately seized these money wrappers and locked rbem In vaults. Police officers who saw them, however, declared they had contained $40,000 In $1 bills and $50,000 in Mils of r. larger denomination. Another report said that there was one package containing 100 SI,OOO Mils Rtid thousands of dollars' worth of negotiable securities in the packages. This report, however, lacked confirmation. A numbej of letters which had been opened were found lying beside the pouches. The robbery was one of the most daring in the history of Chicago. The five bandits drove up to the. Dearborn street station in a stolen car and compelled a dozen mall clerks to hold up their hands while they calmly transferred three pouches from a Government truck to their automobile. Several bystanders looked on In amazement. One of the pouches was registered mail while two others contained ordinary letter mall. BANDIT STRUCK ONE OF CLERKS. After the three pouches had been placed In their automobile and Just as the bandits were ready to flee, a bandit struck Boy Grabey. clerk, a blow In the back with the butt of his revolver.

NEW YORK POLICE HEAD ENGAGES IN ‘DRY CITY’ EFFORT Work in Which Federal Officers Failed Taken Up Under State Law. Nf5W YORK, April 7.—“ We are going to make New York dry.” Tats was tbe declaration of Police Commissioner Richard Enright, as he took up a task at which the United States Government apparently has failed—enforcement of prohibition In this city. With the ink scarcely dry on Governor Nathan L. Miller's signature to the’ new State prohibition enforcement law, Enright sev in motion the machinery to put it into effect An even dozen arrests for alleged violations was the prompt result. “The law la there; the police department will enforce It,” the commissioner said. “We will proceed exactly as though there were no Federal authorities, although we will be glad to aid them and receive their cooperation, of course.” Since the Volstead act became effective there has been a veritable parade of Federal enforcement officers through New York City. According to surveys by the Anti-Saloon League, the city is practically as wet as it was before. Now the State has taken over responsibility for making the biggest city In the world actually dry and in effect has told Enright to “go to it.”

‘WORK IN PERSON TO INTRODUCE CHRIST’—GIPSY (Continued on Page Two.) Sunday. Do it, I charge yon. Don’t nudge each other. You know you haven't attended church as you should. Move your religion to Indianapolis when you come to the elty to live." Facing the audience, the evangelist asked, “How many here want me to come back?" It seemed that every one yelled “yes at tl'.e same time and this was followed by a big demonstration of hand clapping. “I will tell yoti the surest way to get ine back." he said. “Go to church and by your presence every Sunday mak • your pastor realize that some visible good lias come out of this campaign. Make your pastor feel that this campaign Las been worth while. “Those who think that It has put up your hands. "Now, those who have put them up. go to church next Sunday morning. You are a poor church member unless you begin to work. “Man, woman. You pick out the church which jou think will do you the best good and the church which y> u think will make a useful man and woman out of you—then attend that church." I'RF.APHES ON STRIPE WASHING. The evangelist last night preached his renowned sermon on stripe washing, which was based on the Acts of tlie Apostles, sixteenth chapter and beginning with the twenty-fifth verse “I am going to say something which may surprise most of you," confided the evangelist. “For fifteen years 1 wanted to preach on this chapter. I have read all the authorities on this subject. 1 would talk to ministers and others on this subject aud these conversation* were often tory valuable in throwing 'ight on the subject. 1 didn't get what 1 wanted I bud u feeling that the history I have Just read to you in my text was not getting a square deal from us who preach. "Oue verse I have Just read you, we have made Into a classic. We have placed It in gold letters on cards the words, “Believe on the lejrd Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved." I submit that that isn't the whole story. You have no right to take any one sentence out of Its setting In the Bible and place It on a peg In order to teach gome dogma of your ow n. S- ripturo must Illustrate scripture. Scripture must be truo to tue whole. We have said. ’Believe, Believe aud Believe.' "There is a head faith and a heart faith. The devil believes and tremble* but he doesn’t obey. There Isn't a man In your Jail tonight who doesn’t believe that it is best not to steal but he hasn't houest faith. ALL Ml ST OBEY COMMANDMENTS. “We have tried to save some people by congregations. That is rot the method of any true evangelist of any age. God can save the three thousand and even ttiree million* but each and every one of the three thousand and the three millions must obey the commandments. “What would you think of a doctor who would write his prescriptions out before he saw his patients? You wouldn't want that doctor. You want a doctor to diagnose your rase and then you want him to prescribe and write your prescription. That Is what Jesus Christ taught and that is what the Apostle Paul acted. Paul dealt with each case on Its own merits. “First, Lydia, who Is mentioned In the text, was a religious woman. Mhe was wont to go where prayer was hold. 4rs, sho went to the mid-week prayer meetings. We have such miracles occasionally nowdayg. Lydia was beautiful. She was Just tho kind of a woman who would attract other women. Hhe was the kind whom they would make the president of some society. She had to be led out of tradition. She had to rely absolutely upon the finished word of Jesus Christ. Paul didn't tell her to believe because she did. Paul told her that she only could be saved by the blood of the lamb. PRESCRIBES FOR INDIVIDUAL CASES. “The second woman mentioned In the text was a woman a woman who was good at talk and smart remarks. Sho know how to talk. The devil can preach but God will not accept his testimony. Paul told the devil In her to come out. Paul took time to diagnose h!s case and to prescribe and to personalize. Ho said to tho woman In this case, 'Cast the devil out.’ "In the case of the Jailer, It was different. Paul told the jailer to believe bemuse the jailer was a rank Infidel. Paul told the jailer to put Jesus In His right placo. In the case of Paul, the jailer had done things which he had not been ordered to do. He was told to put. Paul In the inner prison. The jailer did more than that. Ho put Paul's feet lu the

I beUeve that this rampulza is the latest chapter of this wonderful book, the Bible.” “There isn’t a man In your jail who does not believe it Is wrong to steal, but he hasn’t honest faith.” "The devil ran preach and doe*, but God will not accept his fiestimonj.” "If your faith doesn’t prompt you to moke the crooked places of your life straight, then you haven't any faith.” “I would rather go to jail than go to hell to put a matter straight.” “Yon have to do your own stripe washing before God i-ari smile.” “Tomorrow is the incubator that hatches the worm that never dies. Tomorrow is the ghost that never appears. Do it now. Get right with God.” “You ore a poor church member unless you begin to work.”

stocks and in chains. He beat and lashed i stripes on him. | “When Paul prayed In the night a ' storm came and the jail doors were ! thrown wide open. The chains were broken In the storm. The jailer cried out in fear, ‘What can I do to be saved?’ Paul said. ‘Harm not thyself.’ Paul told him to believe. That very night Paul taught hi n the word of God. He taught the jailer the things which go with faith The jailer accepted them that very night, lie didn't wait. He took Paul at that very hour and washed his srripea. “The next morning the Jailer was happy because he believed In God. The jailer had done his stripe washing. Don't you dare to talk about your faith until yon have done your own stripe washing. If your faith doesn't prompt you to make the crooked places of your life straight, you haven't any faith. TALK DIRECTED TO MEN OF AI liIENCE. “I am talking to some men who have robbed the precious jewel ever owned by woman. I'util you play the part of a real man and go back to her aud make up for that wrong as much as a man can, you haven't any faith. You have not done your stripe washing. "I am talking to some men who have led to the altar women a* beautiful as the orange blossom and as white as the lily. Next to the love of Jesus, there is nothing greater than the love of an honest woman. And yet some men have reduced such women to a skeleton. Then you men talk about filth. Do your stripe washing now. The faith which doesn't help you to do that will never save you. Do your stripe washing now, tonight. “You can afford to go to Jail to make n thing* right.

"There are only two ways of getting what you want -faith and ohedlance. Thank God for an earthquake which will save a Jailer “There must be obedience to the light Honesty of purpose.

Collin* of Criminal Court today was making his annual inspection of the State Prison at Michigan City. Frank S. Roby, a local attorney, occupied the bench in the court’s absence.
