THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1915

JUDGE THROWS BUT TESTIMONY

OF PAST DEEDS Union County Sheriff Scents Effort to; "Railroad" Anderson Thomas to Freedom Through Court. After Judge Comatock ruled out evidence of William H. Rader . and Ingram Rader, brothers "of John Rader, Sheriff Post of Union county today made charges of attempts to "railroad'.; Anderson T. Thorns, slayer of ; Louis Rader,' to freedom. Sheriff Post brought the two Rader brothers to Richmond this morning Irom Lee county, Kentucky, to testify i to two previous shootings in which Anderson Thomas had been engaged. . The prosecutors, Reller and Edwards, had the men seated on the witness ! stand when Attorneys Johnson ' and 1 Pigman, for Thomas, succeeded in de- ! claring the evidence irrevelent. The prosecutors and Sheriff Post held a conference after this evidence j was ruled out, and then attempted to have ruled out evidence introduced by Thomas' witnesses against the reputation of the Rader family. Testimony Ruled Out. William H. Rader's testimony was to the effect that Anderson Thomas in 1908 seized a gun which Rader had , strapped on a belt and exchanged shots with George Frazier, a sympa- ' thlzer with the Philpott clan, with ; which the Griffins had had a feud of years' standing. Ingram Rader also of Lee county, was not permitted to testify to the circumstances attending a shooting scrape in which he said he and Thomas were mixed. Sheriff Post tried to take the stand to make an expose of ah alleged frame-up on John Rader, father of the murdered boy. "I do not know whether Attorney Pigman is responsible for it or not," Baid the Union county sheriff. "An- ! derson Thomas suddenly came into possession of $1,800. We have been : unable to find out where "he got it. : We wrote to the Cincinnati Street Car company, and it replied that Thomas had been fired for 'careless handling of change.' This is my only clue." Mrs. Griffin Bent Gun. Mrs. Sol Griffin, mother of Anderson Thomas, testified today that she and not Thomas had bent the gun exhibited by the state in court. The state charged the stock of the gun had been splintered and the barrel bent by the blow Thomas struck on Louis Rader's head after he shot him. "I bent that gun barrel under the porch." Mrs. Griffin said. "I was afraid the same trouble might come up again." The prosecuting attorneys and sheriff said they were well satisfied with the jury and expect to bring about a conviction. GREEN BOOK AROUSES CONTEMPT OF GERMANY BERLIN, May 22. Extracts of the Italian Green Book telegraphed from Berlin to Rome form the basis for new , charges of deceit against Italy In the German official and semi-official newspapers. They make no mention of the i fact that Austro-Hungary showed an I earnest, desire to arrive at an under- ; standing with Italy. To this end the Vienna government J offered to send Count Goluchowsky to Rome with full authority for concluding negotiations fr a peaceful settlement of all differences. ; For some time the Viennese governI ment's proffer was completely ignored I at Rome, but finally, in response to I repeated inquiries, as to whether : Prince Goluchowsky's presence would 1 be agreeable. Foreign Minister Sonnio replied that he did not consider ; the prince's visit "opportune, because it would cause too great a stir." SPIES IN ITALY STIR SUSPICION OF ARMY ROME, May 22. A dispatch from I dine, fourteen miles from the Aus trian border, where an immense Italian army has been concentrated, states that the Austrian authorities have re turned the Italian mails. A big search has commenced for German and Austrian spies in northern Italy especially in the region of Udino. A number of railway bridges have been dynamited on the frontier. Although this city retains the appearance of normality upon the surface it requires very little to inflame the populace to the wildest pro-war demonstrations and the pacificists are now afraid to air their peace propaganda in public. ROCKEFELLER TAKES STAND ON THIRD DAY WASHINGTON. May 22. John D. Rockefeller before the industrial re- : lations committee said he could find no authority for resistance of law unless death was impending. He made this statement when asked what he would do when his. home was invaded as were those of strikers in Colorado. ; Walsh started t? question the witness about wholesale C-rtations of ' miners in the last ten years. "Suppose the shetfff came to your , door at night and arrested you and attempted to deport you in a box car. iWould you leave without resistance?" Walsh declared this is what happened to Mother Jones and sympathizes. The chairman relented in his attitude toward Rockefeller in this his third day on the stand. MOVE SUBMARINE. WASHINGTON, May 22. Admiral Moore today reported that Submarine F-4 was lifted an additional twentyi three feet since yesterday and was moved shoreward. "

GERMAN REPLY DELAYS ACTION WITH ENGLAND WASHINGTON, May 22 It became known definitely today that for the present, while awaiting the German reply to President Wilson's note on the Lusitania disaster this government will not modify its policy regarding the actions of Great Britain in holding up non contraband shipments although the state department does not acquiesce in the memorandum given out by the London foreign office. In fact surprise was expressed among officials that London should have designated as acceptable to the United States the negotiations and arrangements being made with cotton shippers regarding the disposition of their cargoes. Secretary Bryan's statement on this point, which indicates that as soon as lrnZ T ir. 2r3Ii ernment will turn more energetically to its problems with Great Britain says that such arrangements have not i rt f i i ci 1 t a iw f i f-ir TVis RrlHoh urn.! hcnr'c cntinn tv,o HerstanHw wa d tn nn Pn-nr in I transmission of the memorandum was accepted however. The impression today is general in official circles that while this government has in preparation strong protests to Great Britain on the subject of interference with non-contraband over-sea traffic the administration has definitely decided to mark time as to Great Britain until Germany replies. That the United States is prepared to contend still further against the right of Great Britain virtually to enforce a blockade against neutral countries by detaining non-contraband cargoes for neutral ports is understood. HOBOES DRAW FINES Four negroes today pleaded guilty in city court to boarding a moving train without permission and were each fined $1 and costs. They were a part of a gang which started trouble at Muncie when an effort was made to force them to leave the southbound C. & 'O. train, in the course of which one of the hoboes was shot and wounded after he had opened fire on an officer. The men arraigned here were Charles Wood, Henry McClelland, Earl Green and Grover Mallard. RECEIVES JUDGMENT. Isaac D. Moore was given judgment today against Howell D.

"Despite Austria's efforts to show her good will, Italy has decided for war." says the Neue Freie commenting on the international situation. It says: "We regret the attitude of our former friend but we shall defend ourselves. History will show that Italy was the aggressor and tne contact . . , . was forced upon us." All the Vienna newspapers admit that the action of the Italian parliament shows the Rome government is determined to prevent a peaceful solution. The Buda Pest Press is of the same opinion. Hungarian newspapers sharply criticize the Italian government. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY. IVIODERIM

ROBERTS AND REDMAN SEEK TO GET LIBERTY

LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. May 22.-j-Inclination on the part of Donn Roberts and Judge. EH H. Redman, both of whom are serving sentences in the federal prison for connection with the election conspiracy, to go it alone in their effort to secure their freedom on writs of habeas corpus, has started a quarrel among the Indiana prisoners which may result badly. The prisoners have divided into two factions, one headed by Roberts anu Redman, the other by Edward Driscoll, former assistant city engineer. The Driscoll faction has taken into the folud Ed Holler, former police chief, who because he . testified against the others had been ostracized. It is the intention of the . factions to work in opposition to each other to secure their release and at the same time put something over which will keep the others behind the bars. The Roberts-Redman faction engaged counsel to start habeas corpus pro ceedings. This writ is understood to be readw for presentation to Judge Polack but the developments have delayed the procedure.

The narrative says that German officers manned machine guns at criti

cal points on the German lines, where the fighting qualities of fresh German recruits that had been rushed up to the front, was in question.
