SETH LUCAS CONFESSES

(Continued from Page One) always denied this, and finally said he hit her behind the left ear with a "billy," which he kept in the house. May Implicate Others. Grover DeCamp, husband of Mrs. Maude' DeCamp, - stated this morning that his wife had told him he would know all the circumstances regarding the burning of Mrs. Lucas before the summer was over. Several weeks ago she said she expected her father to make a confession of the crime he had committed. Mr. DeCamp did not ask his wife where she received .her information, nor did she offer to tell him. "Maude was in Richmond at the time of the fire and had not been home for several weeks prior to that time," , said DeCamp. "She was employed in this city and spent most of her time here. We were married five weeks after the incineration of her mother. .- "After things had settled down, she told me that her father would tell all about the fire before the middle of the coming summer. She stated that there were other parties mixed up in the affair and that this would all be disclosed by Lucas. I don't know, whether she knew of her father's crime or not. "I do not believe that Lucas has made a complete confession but believe he will make another confession later and that other parties will be implicated, just how, I do not know. I did not want to cause any ill feeling between Maude and myself and for that reason I did not press her to tell me more. Things that she told me have all come out true and other developments which she predicted will probably follow. Decamp's Hunt Successful." "My wife wasrtot surprised when I walked into the door of her aunt's home at 164 Blackford street, Indianapolis. She had evidently been expecting me and was glad to see me. I have asked her nothing regarding her reason for leaving home. She said that she was ready to return. "Mrs. Isaac Lucrs also disappeared three weeks ago and it was thought that she had gone to the home of Mrs. John Lucas where my: wife has been for the last week. Both my wife and Mrs. John Lucas said that they knew nothing of Mrs. Isaac Lucas and that she had not been in Indianapolis." Is Not Insane. Some of the police officals believe Lucas is shaming and that he is not insane. It was stated by the authorities that he confessed hoping that his mind would be relieved of its terrible burden. Now he realizes his predicament and is trying to make the officials believe he is insane. It is said. , Chief Gormon stated that if, Lucas is insane now he was not at the time the murder was committed. The main fact bearing out the;testimony of Lucas is the finding, of the ;sleeve of his shirt in the exact location he had placed it last September. He told Officer Vogelsong Thursday evening that the sleeve of his shirt was in the barn. That evening Chief Gormon and several other officials . went to the barn. They returned empty handed at midnight and then questioned Lucas again. The prisoner insisted that the sleeve was in the barn and said it was behind a log about four feet long-which was under the hay. ' ' Second Search Successful. The officers returned to the farm yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. They found the log described by Lucas and in a small hole under the log found the sleeve. It smelt of coal oil and is now in the possession of the authorities. Lucas told the officials he had torn the sleeve from the shirt because of the oil being spilled on it at the time he poured it on his wife. Dr. S. C. Markley was called to attend Lucas last night, at the sugges tion of Will A. Bond, counsel for Lucas. He talked, incoherently and was mentally deranged, according to the physician. His pulse was stronger than normal. Lucas refused to take medicine believing that-he was being poisoned.'

EMPEROR IS BETTER Theaters in Japan Are Opened Once More.

(National News Association) TOKIO, May 24. There was an abatement today of approximately four degrees in the fever of Emperor Yoshihito who is ill of pneumonia. The following bulletin was issued from Oayama palace, signed by two of the eight physicians who are attending the imperial patient: "His majesty has passed a favorable night and shows encouraging improvement. His temperature is 99.2, pulse 76 and respiration, 36." News that improvement was shown in the condition of the Mikado caused great rejoicing throughout the Empire but especially in this city. Prayers of thanksgiving were offered up and a ministerial order was proclaimed allowing he theaters to reopen. three miles northeast of Greensfork, was burned and the charred body of his wife was found among the ruins Considerable mystery surrounded the burning of the home and the incineration of Mrs. Lucas. Following the fire an investigation was deemed necessary by the county authorities, and a grand jury session was immediately called. Lucas re fused to answer questions asked him by the authorities, and as there were no witnesses who could swear that the man murdered his wife and then set fire to the house, no indictments were returned. No Indictments Returned. "The grand jury couldn't return an indictment against Lucas at the time, because he refused tatalk," said Superintendent of Police Gormon. "The only reason that an indictment was not returned was because he absolutely refused to answer questions that would Incriminate him." Tonhua Allen, who was prosecuting attorney at the time of the Lucas ud jury investigation, stated this morning -that he had advised the jury not to return an indictment against Lucas. "The jury examined Lucas in two sessions shortly after the Novem ber elections. I believe the jury would have returned indictments against him for murder and arson but at the same time I knew that we did not have enough evidence to convict him. Had we tried him then and set him free, his innocense would have been established and we could h.ve done nothing now. I was sure that the evidence in the case would be found." House Burned. Rapidly. Indications were at the time of the burning of the building that the house had been set on fire, and neighbors testified before the grand jury that the odor of coal oil was perceptible. The" house burned rapidly, and Lucas made his escape without first trying to locate his wife. He said afterward that he presumed she was safe. Body Was Cremated. In the embers of the house neighbors found the cremated body of the woman, the lower limbs having been burned into an unrecognizable mass. Apparently she had reached the door of the , room, before. she, fell. When neighbors reached the burning building, after having heard the cries of the man, they found Lucas standing in front of the house, wringing his hands. When asked w&ere his wife was he said- he did not know. It required the combined strength of three patrolmen to subdue Lucas when he rushed Into the city building Thursday afternoon. He was placed in the city jail and finally became calmer. When he was searched he had on his person -letters from Alfred Underhill, who was bargaining for his farm near Greensfork. This farm was owned by his wife and since her death Lucas has been taking steps to sell it, although it is not in his name, it is said. Made Trips to Farm. Lucas had made frequent trips to his farm since last week, saying that he was going to sell hay. Deputy Coroner's Report. Conflicting testimony was presentedw in the report of Deputy Coroner Roy Morroy on the death of Mrs. Lucas. - The report was filed in the county clerk's office on October 29. The coroner said in the report that death was due to accidental incineration, the deceased having been unable to get out of the burning house in which she was Sleeping. However, during an interview following the filing of the verdict the deputy coroner was asked: "Don't you think the testimony as given in the verdict, rather conflicting?" "You will have to judge for yourself," was the reply. "I have nothing to say about it." j Lucas Testified Twice. The testimony of Lucas to the deputy coronor at that time read as follows: "About 8 p. m. my wife and I retired. About 9 or 9:30 o'clock my wife awakened me, saying she felt sick, and asked me to get the cam phor bottle. About 2 or 2:30 o'clock I awoke and found the room full of smoke. I was considerably confused. I groped about the room and found the door, and went into the north room, and then to the kitchen, and called to my wife, but so much smoke was ir. the room that I was compelled to go outside and call for help, walking toward the road and still calling for help. I then turned toward the Catey home. "When Catey answered me I was half way between my own gate and the Catey house. I then returned to the house and entered the kitchen and found the kitchen filled with smoke, as was also the other rooms, and so dense was the smoke that it was impossible for me to discern objects in the room. Upon my return most of the fire seemed to be in the bedroom and the southwest room of the building. By this time Catey arrived, and we went to the south side of the house and broke, into the bedroom, and we could plainly see that my wife was not in the room. We then went to the

north side, looked through the kitchen into the front room, and we could see the body of Mrs. Lucas lying upon the

floor just outside the south door." Flaw in Statements Lucas' Becond statement declared that this happened upon the night of September 26, the first statement saying that it was on the night of September 27. He also said that it was 10 o'clock when he was awakened by his wife. Awakened by Screaming. S. M. Catagdi testimony to the deputy coroner at the time the verdict was made, was to the effect that he was awakened by the noise which seemed to' be as if some one were screaming. He went outside his house, and while standing there heard a sound as if- someone were dragging something around in the direction of the Lucas home. He . said he asked Lucas where he thought his wife was and he answered he did not know. "I returned to my house," his testimony was, "and twenty minutes later returned to the burning building. I could see the charred body lying In the southwest room." Davis' Testimony. Isaac P. Davis, another witness ex amined by the deputy said that when he arrived at the burning house, Lucas and Samuel M. Catey were stand ing on the outside. He said he asked them where Mrs. Lucas was but they answered they did not know. "I went in" Davis' testimony to the deputy coroner read, "and I could see the head and shoulders of the body lying in the southwest room. We then went to the barn to watch it. After the weatherboarding and plastering had burned off the south wall I could see the charred body lying on the floor. Upon my arrival at the building the southwest rooms were in flames, but the bedroom was not In flames." DON'T KNOW THEY HAVE APPENDICITIS Many Richmond people who have chronic appendicitis, which Is not very painful, have doctored for years for gas on the stomach, sour stomach or constipation, Thistlethwaite states if these people will try A SINGLE DOSE of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in Adler-i-ka, the remedy which became famous by curing appendicitis, they will be surprised at the QUICK benefit.

GILES TALKS WITH MEMBERS OF BOARD

The New Superintendent of Schools Talks on Vocational Training. TO SUGGEST COURSE Says Problem Confronts Officials in Regard to Special Course. Prof. J. T. Giles, of Marion, appointed Wednesday by the Richmond board of education, to succeed Prof. T. A. Mott, as superintendent of the schools of this city, was here today to confer with the school officials relative to the work to be taken up by him. Vocational training work which will be carried out here will be one of the hardest propositions with which the school authorities will have to contend, according to the new official. "There is such a great diversity of interests here that a special course will have to be mapped out for Richmond as is the case in many other localities," he said. "The manufactories in this community seem to be many and varied and it will be a hard matter for the public schools to furnish courses of instructions for factory boys who will want to specialize in courses. "There are cities in the state where instructions in vocational training will not be difficult, such as Gary, where iron manufacturers employ the majority of laborers. Courses in metallurgy can be taught there which are of Interest to every person working In the factories. . " Giles to Recommend. "The state laws compel children to attend school up to the age of 14 years. The problem which confronts us is to provide a course which will appeal to and benefit the children who only go to school until this age Is reached, and who will be benefited by a special course through high school," he said. Each locality will be provided a special course by the state board of education, though the board will act in conjunction with the school authorities in the respective localities where courses are prepared. Prof. Giles will recommend to the local board of education what course will be best for Richmond. May Have Special Courts. Prof. Giles explained that many children leave school at the age of fourteen years A special course of training will probably be drawn up so that the children-can gp to high school without graduating from common school. They will not be permitted to take the regular high school course, and those in the department will probably be able to work part of the time and. study also. Many manufacturing plants of Richmond' will be asked to co-operate with the officials if the plan is put into effect Children who work all day in a factory are not in condition to take up courses held at night and the officials may decide to have the work done through the day. Prineipalship Not Discussed. The appointment of a high school principal was not taken up today by the board. The members of the board stated that they wished to give the new Superintendent a chance to look over the field before making any decision. John F. Thompson who Is acting as principal probably will be permanently appointed to the position. HIT BY MOTORCYCLE Miss Estella Thomas Slightly Injured.

ORCHESTRA SCORED

An Immense Audience Attends Concert of Richmond's Remarkable Musical "Organization Young Violinist Receives An Ovation.

BY ELIZABETH R. THOMAS Every claim of excellence which had been made for the Richmond Syns-r-hony orchestra, under the directorship cf Professor Will H. Lebo. of Hamilton, Ohio, was sustained last evening when about 2,500 people listened to a well-selected and well-rendered concert. Too much praise canrot be given this organization and rarely if ever does one find such an orchestra in a. city of this size. All the numbers played last evening were most difficult and the interpretations were beyond criticism. The officers of the organization are Lee B. Nusbaum, president; Walter Runge, vice president; E. B. Knollenberg, secretary, and Robert C. Wilson, treasurer. All are excellent musicians jnd have done much to bring the orchestra up to its present high stand ard. Especial credit for the excellence of the orchestra must be given Prof. Lebo. The numbers on the program last night touched a popular note as evidenced by the enthusiasm displayed by the andience. Mrs. Charles Igelman, a soloist, also made an excellent impression. She is a soprano singer of pleasing stage presence and has a voice of surpassing excellence. Her personality, too, is appealing, which is a quality of especial value to a singer. Her number was "Queen of Sheba", Cavatina; "More .Regal in His Low Estate," by Charles Gounod. After the rendition of her number, she was presented with several exquisite bouquets of roses by admirers. She responded to an encore, singing "Summer," by Chaminade. Her, interpretation of this piece was wonderful. This is the singer's favorite number and this fact was evidenced last evening by the manner in which she rendered It She covered a wide range of musical expression running the gamut of emotions and delighting her hearers. Another attractive feature of the evening was the violin solo played by Miss Dorothy Kirkpatrick, a musician of charming personality and rare ability. Miss Kirkpatrick played Ballade et Polonaise by Vieuxtemps. She is studying at Cincinnati now, but for some years was a student of Professor Frederick K. Hicks of this city. After her number last evening she was showered with many bouquets of roses. She presented a beautiful appearance when she appeared again on the platform with her arms full of the summer flowers but she would not respond to an encore although the Coliseum resounded with applause. The members of the symphony or chestra are: First Violin Fred K. Hicks, John F. Thompson, Harold Clements, Paul Garner, Josephine Notestine, Ralph C. Sloan, Blanche Luken, Ruth Scott, Blanche Bayer, Cornelia Shaw. Second Violin-1 Judge Boggs, Wesley Howard, E. B.

The work of the Richmond High School orchestra yesterday afternoon, directed by Prof. Ralph Campbell Sloane, was very good. Mrs. Fied Bartel was the soloist for the afternoon. She was attired in a most becoming gown and made a pleasing picture among the ferns and palms, which were used in decorating the platform. She sang Aria "Fruhlingzeit' from Reinhold Becker. Her interpretation was excellent and her pronunciation was so clear that she could be heard distinctly throughout the entire Coli seum. Her voice is a mezzo soprano of rare quality. Too much praise cannot be given the work of Gus Humberger of Dayton, Ohio, who played a cello number entitled "Ungarishe Rhapsodie" from Popper. He had to respond to an encore, playing "My Rosary." This was rendered so effectively that the audience was stirred to an unusual degree. Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier and her pupil. Miss Elizabeth Myrick, played a well-rendered number with orchestral part on second piano. Both teacher and pupil are artists. The crowning success of the afternoon came when Wesley Howard, a young colored musician of this city, and a pupil of Prof. Hicks, played a violin solo number. Mr. Howard is a true artist and it is safe to say that the young man never played better than yesteraay afternoon. His tone, though emphasized, was appealingly pure and sweet and his bowing and fingering were so simple and natural that one forgot the great technical difficulties that were being overcome. This young man should receive encouragement in his art for he has the ability to become a great artist. He played Concerto Number two by De Beroit. After his number he was applauded time and again but refused to respond. A large bouquet of red carnations tied with the high school colors red and white, a gift of the rtudents, was presented the young liolinist. The greatest surprise to Mr. Howard and an act which greatly pleased the large audience was when Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, presented the violinist with a handsome violin bow, a gift cf the musicians of this city. There was enthusiastic applause when Howard bowed7 profusely in acknowledgment of the gift. Miss Ruth Ferguson was also on the afternoon's program. She sang Aria "A Bowi of Roses." by Clark. Miss Ferguson, although young, gives prom ise of developing an excellent singing voice. The Richmond Musical association is to be congratulated npon the success of these concerts. Favorable comment has been heard on all sides and Richmond truly has had a rare feast of music, both instrumental and vocal. It is to be hoped that these concerts will become frequent affairs. Mrs. John Dynes attended the G. A. R. encampment at Indianapolis. Miss Bessie Reese of Dunreith has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Omelia.
