"OLD BILL'S" ARREST

Has No Bearing on the Hunt for g Solution to the Starbuck Mystery. DOCTOR’S VIEWS NOT POPULAR Politician Drop* Politics to Look After a Waif—Miss Vandevener Released—ltems. Greensboro, Ind., July 15. Bill” oLckridge, of this place, was taken to Newcastle by Sheriff Pritchard. When anything is done here “Old Bill” has to hustle around for evidence that he did not do it. A considerable part of Bill’s time is spent in the county jail for drunks and misdemeanors. He never pays his fine, and, for that reason, is not a desirable prisoner. There is no connection between the arrest of “Bill” and the death of Mollle Starbuck and her babe. He was taken in on an old commitment for failing to pay his fine that he had agreed to settle some time ago. Jut Took “Old Bill” Along. " The sheriff thought perhaps “Old Bill’ might know something, and, as he was going down to town, he just took “Old BUI” along. That is all there is in the latest arrest in this mysterious case. The understanding is that there is another character in Greensboro who will be arrested. The people here are satisfied with the activity of the sheriff, and hope that in making another arrest he will strike something that will point out a clew, but up to this time the officers, and every one else are making no headway. They, have discovered nothing that will throw any light on the crime if a crime was committed. Doctor’s Theory Not Believed. The theory of acute mania, as described by Dr. E. A. Smith, of Knlghtatown, is not believed by those who know the young woman. Nor do they believe that it was deliberate suicide, or that the act was the result of the hallucination of a disordered mind. The ending, in the opinion of the doctor, was the result of a sudden frenzy. There was nothing in her life, so far a,s; known, that would cause her deliberately to commit suicide. Will Not Stand for Thl*. There is one thing that the people of the community will not stand for, and that is the intimation that the young husband had anything to do with the death of his wife and child. Some gossipers tried to connect his name with the crime, but that soon came to an end.
