THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND STO-TLEGBAJI, SATURDAY. APRIL 10, 1909.

C.1RS. SAMPSON IS F0U11D HOT GUILTY Good Friday Proved to Be a Lucky Day for the Young Woman.

JURY OUT A SHORT TIME AFTER SHE HAD BEEN ACQUITTED ON CHARGE OF SLAYING HER HUSBAND, 8HE - HOLDS LEVEE IN THE COURT, Lyons, N. Y.v April 10. Mrs. Georgia Allyn Sampson, the young woman who has been on trial for her life here since Monday on the charge that she had shot and killed ; her husband, Harry Sampson, was acquitted shortly - after JO o'clock last night and was immediately given her freedom. "' , Mrs. Sampson was trembling perceptibly when the' jury announced its verdict; but she recovered her composure Immediately, and smilingly received the! embraces of her , father and other relatives acd the congratulations of her friends. ' . Impromptu Reception. She held an .impromptu reception m the court, thanking and shaking hands with her lawyers and each of the jurors, and also greeting and tanking the representatives of the press. Mis.4 Sampson declined, to make any statement for publication. District Attorney Gilbert, in speaking of the verdict, said: "I am satisfied. I have done my full duty by the people and by the prisoner." Mr. Gilbert, though n cousin of Mrs. Sampson by marriage, stood to his duty and prosecuted the case as vigorously as the facts would permit. The trial had been in progress only a short time when the prosecution rested its case. George S. Tinklepaugh then opened for the defense. Albert C. Hopkins, a Palmyra photographer, the first witness sworn for the defense, identified - various photographs of the exterior and interior of the Allyn farm house. Dr. Albert F. Hall, of Fulton, N. Y, was sworn as gun expert for the defenfe. He was formerly examiner at the United States Marine hospital. Shown the hole in the right breast of Sampson's outer shirt, he said there was nothing -toi indicate that it was a bullet bole. After an agreement had been entered vpon the records that Mrs. . Georgia Stamson was five feet and four inches tall, the taking of evidence was concluded. Attorney Hamn then began his address to the Jury. When Hamn closed his address District Attorney Gilbert began summing up for the prosecution. : " "' Judge lien's charge to the jury wa3 brief, consuming but 'JO minutes, H was an impartial review of the law points that apply to the case. '.- The judge completed his remarks at 0:.'SO p. m., but did not immediately send the jurymen to their room to deliberate on a verdict. Instead he directed that the men be first given thei? supper and it was -so arranged. ARE HIVESTIGATIIIG Earlham Authorities Looking For the Wicked Student "Painters." MANY UP OH THE CARPET The Earlham College authorities are continuing the Investigation of tbe painting of Lindley hall. An impression seems to prevail among the faculty members that the work was done ly students from the city, although these deny It and attribute it to dormitory students. Peculiar ways have been resorted to by the authorities to gain information. Young men have been called upon to prove their whereabouts on the night the work was done. Their parents have been communlcated with to find out If their sons were at home. Some of the students brand such tactics on the part of the faculty as underhanded and unfair. They declare an examination could be made in a more direct manner without reflecting oa the veracity of the students. TO REMOVE DOUBTS Cynics Will Be Shown That a Greased Pole Can Be Climbed. A. Y. M. C. A. EXHIBITION. ? Persons who doubt as to whether H is possible for a greased pole to be climbed, will have opportunity to realize their' mistake, on April 29 when the physical department demonstra tion of the Y. M C. A, will be given at the Coliseum. The date has been changed from April 30 to an evening previous because of the fact that a ctrctts is here oa the last day of the . month. ' s v .-. - Work-in gymnasium' dancing, or fancy steps as many prefer to call It, pole vaulting, jumping, leaping ", a gymnasium horse, exercise with dumb bells and Indian club, concluding wtth -an indoor track meet are- included la the program-of the -evening.

W0RBIE0 BY ACTION Attraction Billed, for Muncie On Date of the Option Election. WHAT FACTION INJURED?

-Muncie, Ind., April 10. What effect will a- circus that is scheduled for Muncie on the date of the local option election have,' is. worrying the leaders of both factions. : Some of the drys fear the wets will try to vote circus mew and some of the wets fear so many of their followers will ' prefer going to the circus to voting and their full number will not be felt. Mayor Guthrie continues In his enforcement of the liquor laws. He has revoked the license of another saloon keener 'who was convicted of selling on - Sunday. Mayor Guthrie is establishing a reputation, because of the manner in which he has decided to enforce the law. He warned the saloonists not to trifle with the law as its violation means forfeiture of license. BACK TO FRANCE FOR POOR CASTRO Terrible Little Ex-shop Keeper Is Believed to Be Dy- - ing Now. LEAVES MARTINIQUE SOON STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS ARE VERY GRATIFIED OVER THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. Washington, April 10. The French Government has informed the State Department of its determination to put into effect immediately the decision anounced Thursday from Paris to expel former President Castro, of Venezuela, from Fort de France, Martinique," and compel his return to Europe. The program is to put him aboard the first vessel touching at Fort de France. .If this program is carried, out Castro will be on his -way to Europe in a day or two unless his physical condition is such that an ocean trip at this time would put his life in jeopardy. The first, steamer scheduled to touch at the Martinique port Europe bound is the French Line ship Versailles, due there tomorrow. Are Much Gratified. The State Department officials are much gratified at the manner in which the French Government has acted in the matter and feel relieved that Castro is to be sent back to Eur ope, where he will have no immediate influence in the affairs of Venezuela, in which country his personal follow ing is believed to be considerable and might have a tendency to unsettle the peaceable condition of affairs there. France, the officials say, has realised tbe possibilities in the case and has met the wishes of the United States in keeping the former President away from the locality where his presence is undesirable. Some of the prominent officers of the Government are disposed to look on Castro's reported serious setback with suspicion, taking the ground that it may be a clever ruse designed by him to make It appear that a return to Europe is necessary to obtain sur gical aid, when in fact the real purpose is "to save his face." He real izes, they say, that conditions for him on this side of the Atlantic are against him and that the best course for him to pursue is to go back to Europe and bide his time, hoping for a better op portunity later. ! PRES. THOMPSON SPEAKS, Pres. William O. Thompson of Ohio State University, is to deliver the bac cal aureate address on the Sunday- of commencement week. Pres. Thompson is one of the most distinguished educators of the country, and is prominent in educational work in bis home state. Dean Henry Wade Rogers, of the Tale law school. Is to give the com mencement address. In a recent issue of a zoological periodical. L. Plate describes the curl ous habit of a new spcies of fish from the Bahamas. This fish spends part of its time in the shell of a large species of strombus. Probably it finds the shell a convenient shelter and place of retreat from its enemies. Its presence does not appear to be of any advantage to the mollusk. Because of ' complaints of residents of Chicago of the quality of gas sold for illuminating purposes, the City Council has appropriated $10,300 , for the enforcement of the new ordinance requiring daily tests of the quality and pressure of gas supplied to consum era. This sum includes an annual sal ary of $2,500 for one chief gas tester and salaries of $1,200 for two assistant gas testers.

JESSE (i. miller

AT Was a Richmond Young Man And Was a Very Pop- : . ular Student. ; PNEUMONIA II ATHE CAUSE WAS THE SON OF MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM MILLER, AND WAS A GRADUATE OF THE RICHMOND HIGH SCHOOL. Lafayette,' Ind. April 10. Jesse H. Miller, of Richmond, Ind., a junior in the school of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, died yesterday afternoon at St. Elizabeth's hospital of pneumonia. Miller was a brilliant, student and well known in student affairs and was a young man of absteminous habits. He was a member of. the Purdue band and orchestra, and took great interest in musical affairs. He was also a member of the Emanon club and lived at the clubhouse during his two years at Purdue. Mr. Miller was a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Miller, living at 512 South Seventh street, and was a well known young man. He was a graduate of ths local high school in 1907, and was one of the leading members of this class. He is the first member of this class, which was one of the largest in the history of the school, to die. Many of Mr. Miller's friends weio not aware of his illness and the : an nouncement of his death will be a complete surprise to them. He had been a student at Purdue university for two years and was regarded as one of the most capable of the school body of that institution. The funeral will take place in this city, but as yet, no arrangements have been made. - He was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran church, and also was connected with different musical organizations of the city. It-is prob able that his body will be escorted to this city by several of his friends who were also attending Purdue university. IT WAS TOD MUCH FATHER-lfl-LAW Bride's Father Appears in Di vorce Court as the "Trouble Maker." WIFE GOES TO HER PAPA THIS STARTLING DISCOVERY WAS MADE BY RALPH DRULEY WHEN HE RETURNED HOME ONE DAY, It was too much father-in-law. Mothers-in-law have had their turns in the divorce ' courts and comic supplements many, many times, but today in circuit court, was the first time tbe bride's father has appeared as the cause of the trouble between husband and wife, Ralph Druley left his wife at home to go to his father's. She kissed him goodbye and continued singing to the baby. Everything was apparently as happy as could be in the Druley household. But when the anxious father returned, he found no wife and no baby. The father-in-law, New ton Stevens, had come from his home in Preble county and taken his daugh ter back with him. The news wa$ broken to the young father by the hired girl. Druley Telia Story. This morning Druley told of the af fair to Judge Fox. He was seeking a divorce from his wife and the custody of the two-year-old baby. ; The young man bears an excellent reputation. He was educated at the local high school and always was well liked by his acquaintances. His domestic troubles were a surprise to all his friends. According to his testimony the hand of the, father was to be found provoking all the troubles that have befallen the otherwise happy family. The court re fused the divorce, the judge saying he believed there was a way to mend matters and that a separation would be a shame. The father-in-law was advised to withdraw his Interference. Druley said he and his wife did not know what domestic trouble was. He loved her and she appeared to love him. There had been no quarrels of any kind nor other disturbances. Before leaving home, the wife. Ivy. had not intimated to her husband in any way that she intended to leave him. On the eventful day, she appeared just as kind toward him as had been her custom. ; After Druley found his wife gone and learned where she was, he secured a writ of habeas corpus. It was heard ln'v&e court at Eaton, Ohio, and the young wife said she left home of her own free will, so the court held against her husband. Druley was left with no other course to pursue except appeal to the divorce courts. He tea titled his father-in-law had threatened to kill him if he visited his wife. M. L. Mercer, who attends Michigan Law school, is the guest of friends in this city. He will also visit at Foun tain City, Recent additions to the French ar my'8 field equipment were several automobile refrigerators to transport fresh meat.

Last Night's Score. Illinois 20 Cornell 20. The Y. M. C. A. basket ball leagu race tightened up another notch as the result of last night's game. Illinois triumphed over Cornell in a game in which there were many fouls. Cor nell was without its regular lineup. but put up a strong attempt to win, il linois used the same lineup it has pre' sented throughout the season. Mendeahall appeared in tbe stellar role last evening by throwing six goals from the field. It is rare that a guard get 3 this many chances at the basket. EacU team was awarded a point for interfer ence with a throw for the basket. Onlythree weeks more remain of the season and the games of next week will be crucial. Yale must win to avoid a tie unless Chicago loses. The Suckers can equal the blue in the percentage column by defeating the sons of EH. Last night's summary: Illinois Position. Cornell Biell ..

Guy's Minstrels, who are appearing at the New Phillips, have made strong for al) time to come Acrobats, comedians, clog dancers and the Eagle Quartette combine an excellent ' list of productions, the latter being an especial hit, being about the most amusing exhibition which has shown here in some time. Tonight is the last stand for these peo ple here and those expecting to get seats will have to go early. The entire two hours are taken up by these people with the exception of a good film and the illustrated song and the evening is well spent indeed. . "Paid In Full." On the stage of the Gennett theater tonight will be given Wagenbals and Kemper's ' great play of present day life in America, by Eugene Walter,. Paid in Full." Breathing strength in every line this play is so unquestion ably out of the ordinary that it seems safe to predict a most roseate future for it. For a decade now it has been the custom to write the so-called Am erican play either in the tortuous val leys of the west or in the drawing rooms of the effete east, bat ' not in this instance. Mr. Walter has 'taken as his central figures the men and women of every day America and they are spontaneously wholesome figures, too, not mere mannikins jumping at the pulling of a string. There hi life full blooded, virile life in all of them a life we must needs recognize and ap preciate and stalk with throughout all time. Such characters Mr. Walter has created as 'Jimsy Smith', 'Captain Wll Hams', 'Joe' and 'Emma Brooks and they are of our native soil; they are the men and women we rub shoulders with day in and day out and it would seem that they are the ones best an derstood. The theme of "Paid In Full" is different, vastly different, from the conventional cut and squared play, and its presentation is made in a wholesome, forceful fashion. There is a refreshing' treatment of social con ditions in "Paid In Full' and for the best characterization of these various characters , Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper have secured an extxaordin ary brilliant cast of players. "Paid in Full has to its credit a five months run at the Grand opera house, Chicago ana two seasons at the Astor. theater New York. . PLANT DESTROYED. Chicago, April 10.

TO TKHMOIIOS Both Teams Rolled Up Good Scores. In the city bowling league contest last evening, between the Riehmonds and the Entre.

Team scores are as follows: Riehmonds, 923. 885 and 871 ; Entre Nous, 802. 875 and 745. PLAY LAST CONTEST All Star Team Defeats Locals In an Exhibition Game Last Night. 0METZ PROVED TO BE STAR In the last polo game of the season. an exhibition, for the benefit of the Richmond polo team, at the Coliseum last evening, a team made up of Rich mond players, the majority of whom played on the New Castle team, de feated the regular Richmond outfit by the score of 7 to 2. Few features characterized the ga'mo last evening, except that the winning team was able to score almost at will. Fairly good support was given the club by the fans and it is estimated that 5UO or more witnessed the contest. Omets, the Richmond boy, who was in the Ohio state league during tbe past season, played goal for the winning team. This was the "first opportunity local fans have had to see Ometz play, since he was a member of the old Fairview team, and he lived up to the reputation gained in the Ohio league.

TARIFF BILL IS PASSED BY HOUSE LATE LAST IIIGIIT (Continued From Page One.) been unhorsed, - although the legislative steed has bucked pretty ; heavily now and then- t . Cannon Cohorts Show Bravery. . It is at least to the credit of Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants that they have been brave enough to assume entire responsibility . for the whole Payne bill, including gloves, hosiery snd everything else. They have not lost on any important point, and although it became necessary to turn down the women in A shabby fashion, it was done openly and above board, and without any mystery, as to the proceedings. Mr. .Mann of the south side district, tbe speaker's lieutenant on the floor, assumed final responsibility for the decision, t It happened therefore that tbe final vote on the passage of the tariff bill through tbe honse was overwhelming, the record showing 217 for and 161 against. There really were few test records on the details of tbe tariff bill, because a special rule which .had been adopted in , advance preventing: any voting on hosiery, gloves, woolen, cotton and silk manufactures, to say nothing of sugar, which perhaps is tbe most offensive schedule of the whole outfit. ' - - Long Fight on Lumber. - To decide the Question of the tariff on lumber re qui red no less than half a dozen roll calls, and in some way this possibly represented the maximum of strength of that element in the house which has been fighting for revision downward, instead of upward. Section 196 of the Payne bill makes the duty on rough lumber H eent per cubic foot, which is Jnst half the rate of the existing- law. On that the vote cats IVI

Farmers Fprce Retreat. - In a way t!ie farmers woa a little yictory in the voting today. The ways and means com mi' tee . in the first place made a- slash- of the rates on barley and barley malt. : Subsequently they, were frightened by the vigoroas protest of the farmers and retorted an amendment fixing a cemprosniseratc on both articles. The result was that i the rommiltee amendment was adorn - been clever enough to retreat 'part way without waiting for a concerted attack. -.- " Standard Qil hrd no friends. Vnless the senate does something for th big corporation, which might be expected In view cf the family relati6nshlp of Senator Aldrich to the Rocke-' fellers, crude petroleum will come into this country free. -All efforts made ostensibly on behalf of the independent refiners wee unsuccessful - and the house had nothing but evil to say ' of tie Standard Oil company. Yesterday the nominal duty of 1 per. cent. was provided by the house in oppoei-' t ion to the ways and means commit tee, which had fixed a rate finally rtf 25 per cent on the value of the oil actually coming into this country. which of course would have been prohibitory. , , Having been beaten tn the house. Mr. Payne and other members of the ways and means committee made a' virtue of necessity and reported the committee amendment wiping out the duty entirely. This carried with it the countervailing duty, which has hitherto kept out oil from Russia. Crude Oil From All Places. The result Is that unless the senate takes action crude petroleum' will -be absolutely free from every country, no matter whether our "petroleum is barred out or not. This free nil proposition was adopted by the house by the overwhelming vote of ZtZ to 46. .The members are on record, so that if the conference committee reports something in tbe other direction. It can readily be held responsible by their constituents. - ' These votes are the only ones' which are really significant.
