HOOSIER DENIES SOLDIERS SNOT FUGITIVE BDOTH Edinburg Resident Asserts Lincoln's Killer Lived in His Home. The old argument as to whether Federal soldiers killed John Wilkes Booth. Abraham Lincoln's assassin, wa- revived here today on the Great Emancipators birthday, by John Q. Clarke of Edinburg, who claims to have entertained Booth in his home several years after the shooting. Booth escaped to Indianapolis following the assassination, according to Mr. Clarke, and remained in hiding here several months. Then, under the name of J. F. Armstrong, he went to Columbus, was baptized by the late Rev. J. T. Sweeney and preached several sermons. Mr. Clarke boarded the stranger in his home for two weeks when he came to Edinburg to preach, he said. This man, Mr. Clarke said, also visited Crawfordsville, and because of his personal charm and forensic ability became a great favorite there. Picture Identified Him Curious of the identity of this man, Mr. Clarke became convinced hp was Booth when he saw a picture of the plotter in Gen. Lew Wallace’s home in Crawfordsville. “Mv wife and T knew when we saw that faded painting that Booth and Armtrong were the same man,” Mr. Clarke said. ”I spent several years tracing this stranger’s wanderings and found ha had gone to Mexiro. “Later he committed suicide in Oklahoma, and left a note admitting his identity.” 50-Year Argument This was Mr. Clarke’s contention in the argument that has been waged among older persons for 50 years. Indianapolis today observed Lincoln’s birthday with programs in schools and at club meetings. Banks and county and municipal offices were closed, and all WPA laborers were granted a holiday. A Lincoln Day dinner is to be held in the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. tonight by the Marion County Republican League. Russell I. Richardson, attorney, and Dr. Sumner A. Furnas are to speak. SENTENCE LENGTHENED FOR BENEFIT OF THIEF Judge Makes Sure Prisoner Won't Use Same Excuse Next Time. Marshall J. Edmonds. 28-year-old Negro petiY thief, is to have little excuse for stealing when he leaves the Indiana State Farm this summer. Convicted of petit larceny yesterday, Edmonds told Arnet B. Cronk. special municipal judge, “Every other time I was sentenced. I got out in the winter, and I had to get money some way in order to live.” Judge Cronk found that the 60 days he planned to give Edmonds would release him in April. “I am going to give you 90 days and St and costs, so that you will not leave the farm until warm weather.” Judge Cronk ruled; STATE STUDENT DIES OF TRAFFIC INJURIES Youth Crushed Under Truck After His Motorcycle Upsets.
