IS FIIUIICE EXPERT To Shut Out Deserting Husband From Interest in Farm, Divorces Him. EDWARD IS OUT IN COLD WOMAN TESTIFIED IN COURT TODAY THAT EDDY FELL IN LOVE WITH HI8 DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND SKIDOOED. Mrs. Sallie Squires wanted to renew her school fund mortgage. But Mrs. Squires had a husband. Now it would have been necessary for v both to sign the deed. But Edward Squires has deserted his wife, and like other women she did not care for him, to retain, an interest in their farm. Si what could Mrs. Squires do in such an emergency, but get a divorce. - She did In circuit court this morning. Now she will obtain undivided claim to her property and Ed Is out in the cold. But Squires had it coming to him. She Wanted Farm. , According to the evidence of Mrs. Squires she was married to the former Greensfork blacksmith In 1900. Some time afterward Squires' daughter-in-law came to visit.. Squires became attracted by the young woman's vivacity and the wife Bays the two acted more like lovers than anything else. It ended when they skidooed together. Latr Squires came back and wanted his clothes, but his wife denied him. Squires overlooked his son's claims to the woman and the two have left this part of the country. They are living together. The son is alleged to have secured a divorce from the woman: because of her affection for bis father. Mrs. Squires did not care to secure a divorce in order to give Squires an opportunity to wed, but she did want to retain possession of the farm. CAN'T REMEMBER Ally DETAILS OF (Continued From Page One.) he had the highest regard for the deceased, and that the taking of her life was farthest from his intentions, though he admitted it as probable that he had threatened , her with harm. He declared that he fails to remember the exact circumstances leading up to the shooting, as few if any words were exchanged during his call at the library. Upon the matter of the actual shooting of his victim Rife states that his mind is a blank, he falling to realize what he was dotag until Mrs. Griswold sank to the floor dead. He then turned his weapon upon himself, tatending to suicide, but why he failed to mortally wound himself he cannot explain. Rife frankly admitted his warm affection for Mrs. Griswold, and stated that he believed the regard was mutual, having been close friend of the woman for the past three years. However, he stated that their relations were strained lately because of a ' slight misunderstanding but he refused absolutely to state the nature of the differences. The murderer Is perhaps more calm than any person in Eaton, notwithstanding the fact that his life Is in (Jeopardy because of his act. His first 'night in Jail was-passed In apparent feound sleep and his appetlto is not affected. Whether or not he realizes the seriousness of his crime cannot the said, and while many professional imen end others have talked to Rife and watched him closely for evidences of insanity, yet all agree that he Is of normal mind being just one of 'those unfortunate individuals, who, temporarily crazed by a disappointIment, has sought the destruction of 'the object of his affections. A Hearing Today. Rife will be given a preliminary 'hearing before Police Magistrate Jonas Foster this afternoon and will ! doubtless be remanded to jail without (bond to await the action of the grand 'Jury, which has been ordered to convene July 17. Rite has always borne a good repu tation, so far as can be learned. He was of a quiet and retiring disposi jtlon. and scarcely ever had much to 'say, yet since his misfortune of sever al months ago, when in the line of .his work, he came in contact with a high voltage electric wire and sus tained severe burns, he has been ap parently melancholy and seemed to be brooding over some disappointment. While much sympathy is expressed for the unfortunate woman and her bereft relatives, and even for the murderer, yet the general consensus of opinion is to the effect that Preble . county will furnish her first contribu tion to the electric chair, and the se ond one to meet capital punishment The present sensation furnishes the fourth murder case in Preble county within five months. The others who have met violent deaths were Marshal Jack Weatherby,s of Camden, Editor S. P. Kellum, of College Corner and ; John Mann of Eaton. A BAD REPUTATION. Rife Formerly Lived Here With . . Woman. During; his residence in Richmond Harry Rife, the Eaton murderer, did not attain an enviable reputation. He and a common law wife resided together in West Richmond. .The woman became 111, but she had kept secret from her parents who resided in the west

MRS

SQUIRES

Grace La Rue, In Gown,

New York, July 10. Mr. and Mrs. Byron D. Chandler of Boston and Broadway, Mr. Chandler being somewhat better known as the original "Millionaire Kid," and Mrs. Chandler as- Grace La Rue, actress, arrived In New York today on the Mauretanla, having brought a lively honeymoon, spent in London and Paris, to a rather sensational close on the big ship. One of the sensational features is Mrs. Chandler's new frock the nuthin' nuthln' gown which is made of absolutely transparent material, and which made her, as she admits, "the cynosure of all eyes" Grand Prix day at Longchamps, a place . where sartor al cynosures are as thick as flies on a molasses barrel. ' The other sensation was a fuss in the palmroom of the Mauretanla, when Mr. Chandler, who might be described as a half portion millionaire, on account of his lack of height, walked right up to the Duke of Sutherland, the Vicomte de Souaille and several other big men and told them he would knock their collective blocks off if they did not stop singing songs about his bride. The Duke, who is here for a week's visit; the Vicomte, George B. Mackay of Los Angeles and John R. Towler of St. Louis comprised a quartet On the voyage who were wont to Indulge in close harmony and barber shop min ors at varying hours of the day and night. They were thus indulging in the palmroom Wednesday night and Mr. and Mrs. Chandler were seated near by having coffee. Mr. Chandler says they were sing ing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" and "If You Ain't Got the Money You Needn't Come 'Round," which he took as a melodious but offensive reference to him and his bride, whose love af fair had been widely discussed in the newspapers. -" "I walked over to them," said Mr. Chandler, "and said, 'You must stop singing those songs about my wife.' Mr. Towler says, 'Will you make us?' I said I would, if I had to mash every one of their faces in. So thev stop ped, and that was all there was to it There wasn't a blow- passed. - - The Duke? Oh, he did not say anything, but his monocle dropped out of his eye and fell in his glass. The pas sengers were all with me, and con gratulated me afterward." Mr. Mackay says that when Mr. Chandler drew up his five feet three, or whatever it is. and threatened to punch them all he told him to run the kind of a life she had been lead ing. She needed the care and attention of friends, but pride prevented her seeking assistance from her family. She and Rife continued to live in a state of squalor and finally she obtained money enough to make the trip. Rife was not sufficiently fond of work while living here to retain employment constantly and conditions about the premises were such os to attract the attention of neighbors. Af ter Rife had been out of work for some time, he told friends he would like to try teaming. An acquaintance who sympathized with the man, favored him by going security for the purchase of a horse and wagon. Rife tired of the work and quit it before ha had paid for the outfit and it was necessary for the good angel to take over the property and settle the bills. While residing here Rife impressed persons who became acquainted with him as the kind of a man to appear favorably in women's eyes. He was of good appearance and an accom plished conversationalist CEHTERVILLE TO HM BIG RALLY Temperance People Will Gath er There Sunday. CentervUle, Ind., July 10.

"Wee Wee" Gets Spouse in Row away and be a good boy, whereat Mr. Chandler slapped him. Mr. Mackay says he then called Mr. Chandler a living demonstration of the Darwinian theory and made him apologize. So there you are. And now regarding that transparent dress. A ship's news reporter said that if it was absolutely transparent, as has been claimed, it naturally must be entirely out of sight and was reminded of the old scientist who discovered a new species of bird, a "weewee," a kind of bird so small that with the strongest glass it can't be seen at all." "Oh, nonsense," said Mrs. Chandler, who was very fetching in one of those new Casserole shaped bonnets, with trimmings of mushrooms and Brussels sprouts under the brim. "It is transparent, but it is made in folds, so that you can't exactly see too far through it" Mrs. Chandler is going to wear the gown when she appears in vaudeville in the American theater's roof .garden, and the press agent, sent a wireless message asking that she wear the gown on the ship when it arrived, so the newspaper boys could see it and write pieces about it But the lady balked. "Why, I wouldn't have worn that for anything," she said. "If I had worn that dress the customs officers would never have got through going over the luggage. Besides, it is an evening gown and mighty cold, and, anyway, it's in one of my trunks in the hold." The Chandlers figure that their honeymoon ends, because Mrs. Chandler is going to work right away. She does not have to, of course, but she loves her art, and all the rest of it Mr. Chandler has performed in the Broadway calcium and also the London and Paris calciums ever since his father, George1 Byron Chandler, president of a New Hampshire bank, died and left him several millions. The young man drives an automobile with the same precision that the "Flying Dutchman" steers a course, and he won renown this spring in London when he, started his motor coach, the Redskin, from London to Brighton, in opposition to Alfred Vanderbilt. He is 27 years old and holds the record on Broadway as a spender. He married Miss Estelle Stecher when he was 23, and at the age of 19 was defendant in a breach of promise suit brought by Joan Sawyer of Raymond Hitchcock's "Merry-Go-Round" com pany. CONVENTION HAS NOVTADJOURNED Local Teachers Expected Home Soon. The National Educational Association which has been In session at Denver, Colo., since July 3, came to a close yesterday. The place of the meeting next summer will not be decided by the executive committee for several weeks yet Several of the Richmond teachers who attended the convention are expected home within a few days, Including superintendent T. A. Mott. Others will probably go further west and attend the exposition while several of the male teachers, who are Elks, will attend the National Elks convention which convenes In Los Angeles next week. ADMIT ZIMMERMAN TO ILLINOIS BAR Former Richmond Boy Gets Good Position. Amerlcus Zimmerman, familiarly known as "Meek", son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Zimmerman of this city, graduated from the John Marshall Law School ' of Chicago and was awarded the degree of L. L. B. He has been admitted to the Illinois bar.

Chicago Given a Chicago, July lO. Chicago's population is now only 2.572.S34. The optimistic estimate of the bureau of statistics for July 1, gave the city a population of 2,572,835, but since that time Rudolph P. Hansen has moved lo South Bend. News of the city's loss became public when Mr. Hansen sent a letter to the census bureau, city of Chicago, FLY IS PERPLEXING Local Physicians Disagree as To What Produces the Dangerous Pest. SOME SAY IT IS HYBRID What produces the common house fiyfl? Is the common house flfiy a hybrid, or it able to breed and beget? Members of the medical profession who are interested in the fly campaign which has been inaugurated by the physical committee of the Y. M. C. A. are unable to explain which is the case, only that they know the fly is dangerous and responsible for the prevalence of typhoid fever epidemics and digestive disorders in the summer time. One of the members of the profession when asked whether the common house fly female lays eggs and thes hatch out and after different processes of development become flies, said he believed such was the case. Another equally prominent physician said that the house fly in his opinion was a hybrid and unable to breed. He claims that the species known as the "blow" fly are responsible for the house fly. CLAIM VIOLATION OF THEJAME LAW Hunters Point to Scarcity of Squirrels. Hunters declare there is evidence from the lack of young squirrels that there have been violations of the game laws in this county. The most of the hunters say nearly all the squirrels now being shot are old ones. Under ordinary conditions the young squirrels are the first to be found. They are less wary than the older ones and frisk about in the open. It Is declared that the absence of young squirrels is proof that the laws have been violated. LETTER LIST.

KLEPTOMANIAC IS THE CHARGE MADE Little Lucile Rhodus to the Reform School.

After careful consideratoin of the ways and means of raising money to carry on the work of the Associated Charities for the ensuing year, tho special committee at its conference yesterday afternoon drew up a recom mendation advising personal solicita tion as the best way of securing the largest amount. Other recommenda tions were also drawn up. one of the most important being to institute a campaign of education relative to the association. The recommendations will be considered at a general meeting of the Associated Charities next Tuesday afternoon. It is optional with the organiza:ion whether the recommendations be adopted. Church Plan Failed. The committee felt that as the plan of apportioning the amount needed by the association to the different churches bad been a failure, it would be unwise to follow such a plan again. However, if any church, as an organization, desires to contribute to the association the funds will be gladly accepted. The same is true in respect to the. fraternal organizations. There are many false notions existing as to the operations of the Associated Charities. These merely exist because people are not familiar with the organization. In order to correct all misrepresentations, the committee will recommend that circulars be printed and distributed all over the city. Baseball Results NATIONAL LEAGUE. Won Lost Pet.
