STATES HE SAW "DAVIS AT HAMILTON Frank Chapins Gives Testi- . mony At Investigation At Camden. GRAND JURY'S ACTION Now Awaited By Alleged Murderer Who Was Arraigned Today. (Palladium Special) BATON, O., June 14. Before Mayor Kelly this morning, Elwood Davis, charged with the murder of Franke Bourne, was sent back to jail to await the action of the special grand Jury. Although a keen Interest had centered upon possible developments, nothing of particular moment was brought to light Friday afternoon In County Coroner Silver's Investigation of mysterious matters surrounding the death of Frank Bourne, 48, whose body was unearthed Tuesday afternoon. One small bit of testimony, however, is believed by officials to indirectly connect Elwood Davis, alleged slayer, now languishing in the county jail under a charge of first degree murder. This testimony was offered by Prank Chapins, of Summervllle, Butler county, who swore that Davis was In Hamilton on May 23, the exact day on which were mailed unsigned letters that led to the latter's arrest. Chapins boarded the train at Somervllle, and en route to Hamilton, engaged in conversation with Davis. They parted after having spent only a short time together In Hamilton. Can't Fix Crime. Coroner Silver admitted today that the evidence brought out in his Investigation availed nothing, so far as the matter of fixing the crime Is concerned. He will return in his verdict, however, the statement that Bourne's death was caused by a fracture of the skull. He feels more than safe in making this return, because the conclusion reached by all other physicians examining the skull 1b exactly the same. Man in Richmond. Although authorities believe that Davis alone Is guilty of having brutally murdered Bourne and interred his body in the garden patch, the alleged disappearance of another man will be thoroughly investigated. Sheriff Wertz holds the opinion that the rumor is false and will be cleared up like a previous story that told of another man's sudden departure from his home in the vicinity of Camden. An investigation resulted in locating the man at his home, entirely without knowledge of his reported connection In the case. ' The last rumor reaching the ears of officials says a friend of Davis became uneasy following his first arrest, and last Monday went to Richmond, Ind., where he boarded a train.

REFUSED TO HEAR A POLICE COURT CASE Because the witness against Dale Kelso, 18, and Clifford Gray, 17, charged with assault and battery on Simon Hart of the Richmond Baking Company, were not present this morning and had not been subpoenaed, Mayor Zimmerman attempted to dismiss the case.

Kelso and Gray pleaded not guilty last Monday and the case was set for today. The police overlooked the subpoenas for the witnesses and they were notified to appear at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

A SOCIAL PICNIC To Be Held At Jackson's Park, June 23.

The annual picnic of the Socialists of Wayne county will be held at Jackson's park Sunday, June 23, at which time Joseph W. Sharts, of Dayton, O., editor of the Miami Valley Socialist will lecture on "Municipal Politics." John Grill, also of Dayton, will speak on the propoganda of Socialism.

Braunstettler, of Oklahoma, who was the principal speaker at last year's picnic, will speak in this city on July 10. BEES ROUT STUDENTS Friday, the 13th, 1913, proved unlucky for certain Earlham students. In the morning a large crowd was noticed gathered about a small tree on the campus and on investigation it was found that a Bwarm of bees had chosen the hoodoo day to move their habitation. A rope was fastened to the upper limbs of the tree and the crowd moved off to a discreet distance while the tree was shaken. This was repeated several times for the purpose of suggesting to the bees that they might find a better home in a box placed below. This plan failed to work so the slow and dangerous job of scraping the bees into the box was tried, with moderate success. "Rufe" Murray started for the "dorm" for some unknown purpose. He started to run but caught his foot in the rope fastened to the tree and tripped. About a million or more of the angry beeB suddenly left the tree when it was jerked by the unlucky Murray's foot and started out on the warpath. Many of the students got safely away, but also many didn't. Screams came from all sides as hobble skirts prevented Bome of the co-eds from escaping from the danger zone. Some of the students did not appear at the Freshman-Junior frolic or the Sophomore-Senior banquet last night. PLAN A RECEPTION FOR TWO OFFICERS The plans of the G. A. R. and the Sons of Veterans reception to be given June 26 in honor of Dept. Commander D. W. Comstock, of the G. A. R. and Division Commander Wm. Hansche, of the S. of V. are rapidly formulating.
