MAN'S SECOND WIFE IS ALLEGED VICTIM

Supposed to Have Poisoned Elizabeth Young, Wedded Two Days After Apkins Married Local Woman. (National News Association) NICOLASVILLE, Ky.. Oct. 28 Pe ter Paul Apkins, formerly of Chicago, and Richmond, lnd., was indicted here today for the murder of Miss Elisabeth Young, who married him last spring, two days after he became the husband of Mrs. Bertha Koehler at Richmond, lnd., and whom he deserted in Indianapolis. There is already an indictment against him at Lexington for bigamy. Apkins took Miss Young to a Cincinnati hotel on their wedding trip. Two days later she was found !n a room, semi-conscious, with cuts and bruises. She said her husband had attacked her. She died at her home here after weeks of suffering. Apkins' trial for bigamy set fot next January will probably not be held because of the grand jury action today. Apkins was a Chicago piano tuner. Apkins' Strange StorySomething over a year ago, Miss Elizabeth Young of Jessamine county, a few miles from Lexington, went to Milwaukee to visit relatives. There she met Peter Paul Apkins, who was a piano salesman. They became Interested in each other and after Miss Young returned here the friendship continued to such extent that finally Apkins proposed to Miss Young, after writing to her foster father, J. M. Baxter, who lived near Lexington, asking his permission to pay serious attention to her. Miss Young accepted Apkins and last May 24, he came to Lexington, went to the Baxter home, where Miss Young was staying. Disced -her in ra, bnggy. dr5heCtaJNIch where he got Miss Young to endorse a check for him, and then they came to Lexington and Mere married by Rev. I. J. Spencer of Central Christian I church. The check afterward came back marked "no funds." The newly-married couple left here for a bridal trip. They went to Cincinnati, where they registered at the Burchauser hotel. At midnight, screams coming from the girl's room caused the clerk and others to attempt to break in the door. Apkins having refused them entrance. They finally, however, called a policeman rather than break in the door and when the door was opened they found Apkins gone and the young bride lying on the floor screaming in agony. Taken to Hospital. She was in such condition that she was removed to a hospital and next day taken to a sanitarium. That day, Apkins telephoned to her relatives that his wife had taken sick and advised that they come to Cincinnati and bring her home with the. Frightened almost into nystencs tnemseives, Mrs. Baxter, foster mother, and another relative went to Cincinnati on the afternoon of May 27, and arrived at the sanitarium late at night. They had to invoke the aid of al attorney to secure possession of Miss Young. Apkins did not appear, nor have they ever seen him since. Miss Young was out of her mind and groaned and screamed at times in her deliriums. Her mouth was terribly burned as with acid and on her sides were great bruises. During her brief lucid intervals thereafter, so her foster-father, J. M. Baxter, told reporters, she said that Apkins had robbed her of $200 and all the jewelry she had with her and after forcing her to drink something she did not know what, had knocked her to the floor and had kicked her, thus explaining the bruises on her sides: Hear of First Union. Just about this time rumors began coming in that Apkins had another wife, a Mrs. Bertha Kohler of Richmond, lnd., whom he had married just before he came to Lexington to marry Miss Young. Relatives of Mrs. Apkins, or Miss Young, as she really was, went to Richmond and there interviewed Mrs. Kohler, learning that Apkins had married her in Paris, I1L, two days before he married Miss Young and had deserted her in Indianapolis. The relatives of Miss Young secured a copy of the marriage certincate from Mrs. Kohler. Miss Young gradually wasted away at the Baxter home near Lexington until she died in July. She lost eighty pounds and her relatives believe she was poisoned by the mysterious drink served her by Apkins in the Cincinnati hotel. Apkins was arrested in July In Richmond, lnd., and there charged with forgery. In his suitcase were found many letters from women giving interesting accounts of his love affairs. These may be used to find out just what he Continued on Face Eight).

PLAN PROPOSED TO BOARD BY COLLEGE

Application Was Made Only Three Weeks Ago Earlham One of Six Colleges to Get Financial Help. Toward realization of the plan of President R. L. Kelly and the board of Earlham college to enlarge the scope of the institution and make possible better facilities in employment and retention of the ablest educators and placing the institution on a sound financial basis, the trustees of the John D. Rockefeller fund for higher education on Friday determined to advance $75,000 to the local college in event the institution was able to subscribe $325,000 in addition for the permanent endowment of the college. Although President Kelly has only been informed of the action of the Rockefeller board through press dpatches, he declared that he anticipated the action, and divulged the plans so far as have been prepared to ad vance the institution far above its present grade. The press dispatches give but meagre information as to the conditions surrounding the gift, Plan of Trustors. At the regular June meeting of the board of trustees of the college, a res olution introduced by President Kelly was unanimously adopted by the board. The sense of the resolution was to increase the permanent endow ment fund $400,000 over the present endowment of $355,000, within three years. If raised tnis win make tne total endowment $755,000. It was pointed out by the president of t'j institution and his opinion was concurred in by the trustee, that with a larger endowment, the college would be on a sound financial foundation. It would be able to pay . large salaries, among other things,, and could Tore btttnlgrhai members of the faculty. Farthermore, it would be able to enlarge the! curriculum of the college and other wise broaden its scope. Correspondence was at once started by President Kelly with the Rockefeller higher education board. Owing to a prescribed formula, demanded by the Rockefeller board, applications of colleges for assistance must include statistics for ten years back, showing the enrollment and number of graduates each year, the total receipts and disbursements, the source of the receipts and much other data. The application of Earlham college was not handed in until about three weeks ago, and the college officials were surprised at the quick results of the higher education board in considering the application. Earlham's petition was one of twenty-four and the college was one of six which the Rockefeller board decided to help. President Kelly expects the institution will be given ample opportunity to raise $325,000 in order to re ceive the gift of $75,000 from the Rockefeller fund. The committee named by the trustees at the June meeting to have charge of the work includes President Kelly, chairman, Timothy Nicholson and Amos K. Hallowell of Indianapolis. This committee will meet soon and arrange for the method of raising the fund. It is likely that all of the $325,000 will be secured from members of the Friends' creed. Although it has not been decided, it is anticipated no popular subscription campaign will be attempted. The members of this committee and the trustees have no doubt but that the task of raising the needed funds in order to receive the Rockefeller gift will be comparatively easy, though it will take time, possibly three years. MARRIED LIFE WAS NOT TO HIS LIKING When Julietta Scrievener was married to Irving Huff in February 1909, everything was delightful for a few days but soon thereafter his appetite for intoxicating liquors manifested it self and in May 1909, he deserted her and since then she has neither seen nor heard from him either directly or indirectly. Although several allegations might have been set forward by the complainant in obtaining a divorce, only that of habitual drunkeness was alleged. She was granted a divorce and her maiden name restored. ANNOUNCE SUBJECT FOR COLLEGE DEBATE "Resolved, that the Recall of the Federal and State Judges is a sound Governmental Principle" is the question submitted by Albion College for the annual debate with Earlham this year. Earlham gets the choice of sides. While sides have not been chosen It is thought that Earjham will jcoooae the negative.
