Three "Beats"

The local morning paper this morning emits a wail because It was beat" on the story of Charles Revalee's murder confession. The police department is blamed for this. In justice to the police, the Palladium, which had the story on the streets and in the country an hour before its afternoon competitor, would explain that its news staff-"picked up the rumor of Revalee's, arrest and conviction on the streets at an early hour yesterday morning, prepared Its first "extra without soliciting Information from the police and at 8 o'clock, when Chief Gormon arrived at police headquarters and verified the report, a Palladium man stepped to a 'phone and ordered the press to start. In a few minutes the newsboys were on the streets and the Palladium autos were burning up the country roads with their burden of "extras." The Palladium's second "extra" with the exclusive reproduction of Revalee's confession, was on the streets over an hour before its competitor issued its second -extra.' - " At 3:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Palladium's "regular" edition came oft the press with its third "beat" of the day, the fact that it had been discovered that Revalee had a fractured skull and his defense would probably be insanity. ? All of the above Is simply a plain statement of how. the Palladium secured three "beats in .one day on the "biggest story" in this locality in many years.

NEW FACTORY BONUS BEING RAISED FAST No Doubt That Underwear Plant Will Be Located Here National Tool Building Completed Soon. By this time next year, it is assured, the factories of this city will, by the addition of new concerns and the enlarging of the older' corporations, be in a position to offer employment to nearly five hundred additional workers, both men and women. As nearly every factory worker in the city is now employed it will be necessary for the concerns which are now expanding, and the new plants, to import a big number of ' the additional workers. ' " It is thought that the $5,000 bonus for the i Flesh underwear factory, which will be located at North Tenth and E streets, will have been raised by this evening or tomorrow noon. So confident are the soliciting committees of the Young Men's Business club and the Commercial club that the meeting of the members of these two committees, which was to, have been held this evening to decide on further steps in the campaign to raise the required amount, has been postponed until tomorrow night. It Is hoped that at that time it will be possible to announce that the $5,000 has been secured. . A Modem Factory.

His escapades were numerous . and when he died at Connersville, last January, his body was found to be covered with scars, mementoes of numerous fights and accidents. People are now asking if the grandson has inherited the bad qualities of his grand sire? The lad's father, Thomas Revalee, bears a good reputation. At the time of - Joseph Revalee's .....;..: ' ..

Recovery, however, was hasty and a short time later he went ; into a hay mow and fell out of it, onto a seven prong pitchfork. Every prong entered his body. While his condition was serious, yet he recovered and was employed at blasting stumps. Several times he was slightly injured, while so engaged. . Shot by Landlord. ; While living with his wife and children in Milton, in a property owned by James Sipples, it is alleged that he failed to pay his rent In any event, Sipples, It is said, became angry at his tenant and visiting the home one day, put a bullet through Revalee's body. The man lingered between life and death for several weeks as the bullet had penetrated the body dangerously close to the heart. Sipples was arrested and sent to the penitentiary, and, it is said, served seven years for his offense. . This was about eighteen years ago. Revalee soon afterwards changed his residence to Connersville. Struck by Train.

GIRL WTO OS CUKi

(Palladium Special) Cambridge City, Ind., April 15.Little surprise was evinced by Frank Allison at the confession of Charles Aljoe Revalee, his former farm hand, of the murder of Mrs. Allison, and the tiring of their home on Wednesday, April 6. It was at Mr. Allison's suggestion, it is alleged, that suspicion was directed toward Revalee. He notified Ed Holder of .this place, to tell I. A. Gormon. superintendent of police of Richmond, to question Revalee as to. his whereabouts on the day of the murder. - Mr. Allison stated today that he became suspicious of Revalee when he learned the young man did not attend the funeral of his wife, a week ago today, nor offer any condolences. Mr. Allison said that this appeared very strange to him, inasmuch as his wife and other members of the family, had made an effort to treat the . young man as a member of their family, while he lived with them. Given a Mother's Care. ; Mrs. Allison had always attended to the mending of young Revalee's clothes and , carefully prepared his washing and ironing, encouraged him to attend Sunday school and. watched over .him as though she was his mother. For these reasons, Mr. Allison anticipated that Revalee would attend the funeral or at least pay him a visit and offer condolences. - . Revalee was employed" on the Allison farm for a year and a' half, but was discharged last January." Mr. Allison said that Revalee was always honest and at no time while living with them, did he give them any trouble, except that he became very reckless and careless in the execution of his duties toward the last. Mr. Allison said that they never missed any valuables while Revalee was employed by them. Residents of Cambridge City and Milton will not make any attempt to organize a mob. ,The spirit ot the hot heads was curbed yesterday and those who even suggested violence were quickly calmed. Everyone is satisfied that Justice will be done. ' Several in this neighborhood are anticipating being summoned before the grand jury, which convenes Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Allison said that he would appear before the jury. LEEDS ROYS HOME Newspaper Proprietor Purchases the Jackson Property, South 18th St. HE WILL REMODEL HOUSE R. G.

FARM TRANSFERRED A deed was filed in the office of County Recorder Will Rbbbins, this morning, showing the transfer of - a 159 acre farm, belonging to William C Martin and wife to C T. Wright, the Cambridge City undertaker. The consideration, named in ' th deed. , was $20,000. , " -t A deed showing the transfer of the Westcott hotel fo A.

A session wffl be held in both the afternoon and evening. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend.

V 0 Retaining the same remarkable composure and fortitude that has characterized his demeanor since the time ot his arrest, and without betraying the slightest degree of emotion or nerv- -ousness, Charles Revalee, the youthful self-confessed murderer of Mrs. Frank Allison was led Into the city court room this morning and arraign ed on an affidavit charging him with murder. He followed the usual procedure in -such cases and waived pre liminary .'. examination, being . bound over to the circuit court. Wllfrew Jessup will assist Prosecuting Attorney Ladd in the prosecution," while Revalee will be defended by WIU Ret ler, pauper attorney. - The question arose this morning as to whether Revalee would be s permitted to enter a plea of guilty to the charge for which he Is held. The law on the subject was looked ? up by the attorneys interested in the case and it was found that the young murderer would be permitted to enter such a plea if he so desired. However, the law states that the court does not necessarily have to accept such a plea. - Police Skeptical. The police do not seem Juo regard -the insanity defense for Revalee as -being practical. They declare - that the youth is perfectly rational ; and since his arrest has not eshiMted the least symptom which would tend to lead one to believe that he was insane. Friends of the young crfminaL lll.ll, . ... y w.vwm w Judge H. C. Fox of the Wayne circuit court, -was ,at Winchester yesterday hearing a case in .that city when he learned of the arrest and confession of Revalee He Immediately notified the court officials that It would be necessary to postpone the ease in which he was acting as judge as his presence was needed In v Richmond. Judge Fox Instructed; the grand jury this morning to meet Uondajr morning at 10:30 o'clock to act in tan matter. - He Slept Peacefully. Revalee passed a restful night : In the city jail last night and slept welL He was not inclined to - discuss hie case this mornlnc and was reluctant to talk of the affair The young murderer begged earnestly for rpackasa 01 cigarettes last evening out nis request was refused- by Chief of Police Gorsaon, who is strongly opposed to the use of "coffin nails." Revalee has already had one proposal of marriage. An attractive young girl not yet out of her teens called at police ' headquarters last evening , and asked that she be permitted to see the young murderer. She was escort' ed Into the jail and Revalee was pointed out. Apparently it was a case of love at first sight on-her part. Although she bad never seen Revalee before and had ' only talked 'to him about five minutes, v the young girl wanted to marry him on the spot and begged Chief of Police Gormen to permit her to become the boy's wife. The girl said she was awfully sorry for the youth . and wanted to help him out of his trouble. J Wanted to Help Him. ' She said that ' by marrying him she could do so much 'more In his behalf. Reluctantly the girl was led out of the cell and love's young dream was cruelly shattered by a statement from the chief to the effect that it would be Impossible to gratify her wish as Revalee was no longer among the list of those , eligible. . Mr. Gormon stated that he was not at all surprised over the girl's action. He declared that It was frequently the case for murderers to receive proposals : of : marriage while, awaiting trial. ' He stated that he expected Revalee would receive several other proposals before his arraignment in the circuit court, - Revalee was removed to the county jail this morning. He was firmly handcuffed and no opportunity was given him to escape.
