Kidnaping Suspect; Who Escaped Lynching, Tells How Noose Feels
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 12. "It feels like h--l." That is the way Claude Piersol described the sensation of hanging today as he paced restlessly in his cell at the county jail here. Piersol and Cletus Adorns were brought here from Independence, Mo., by Deputy Sheriff T. J. Harris. Still Maintains Innocence. Piersol stood the terrific examination by Judge . Arch Johnson ,, and Springfield officials today without weakening. He still stoutly maintained his Innocence. Later he talked freely about the near lynching. ' ' "Yes, it hurt something fierce," he said. "They told me that I had to die and I really believed it. But I wasn't afraid. If I had confessed to kidnaping 'Buddy' they would have killed me, and I believed they would anyway. , "You cant describe the choking sensation. Of course, you struggle against it. None of us want to die and it is only natural. I honestly believed my
i time had come and thought I was a
goner. "I don't know how high they stretched me off the ground, but it seemed as if they never would stop. As the rope tightened I left something clutching at my throat. I couldn't get my breath. "Then there came a far away ringing in my ears, a sort of tinkling of bells.. Everything grew black before my eyes. I wasn't afraid then more or less resigned to the inevitable. Then all grew dark and quiet. The ringing gradually faded out in the distance. That's about all I can remember until I came to." "Weren't you afraid to die?" Piersol was asked. "I didn't want to but I wasn't afraid, I had done nothing and was Innocent. Guess my chief concern was about the old folks back home., I only wanted them to know that their boy was not what the people said he was a murderer." .
Collegian Learns Trick Which Will Pay His Expenses
OXFORD. Ohio, June 12 Kerr G. Fulton, Miami University student, learned something in school this year that will mean dollars to him now. Recently he planted a lot of tomato plants, but cutworms got busy, and ruined the patch. Then he planted more tomatoes, dug a trench around each plant and filled it with "doctored" bran. Result: his plants are thriving while everybody else's are being cut down. People for miles around are writing and telephoning Fulton to v find out what he used to kill the worms. It's said to be very simple soak bran in water containing sugar of arsenate of lead. Fulton says he will make the trick pay for, his year's schooling.

BUTTE MINE TOLL NOW STANDS AT 80
BUAAE, Mont., June 12 Rescue work in the Granite mountain and Speculator mines of the North Butte Company which were swept by lire last Friday bad progressed to such an extent today that it was thought possible that every level of the com pany's properties except those below the 2800 foot level, which have been flooded with water, will have been explored before nightfall. The latest recapitulation by company officials and the county coroner showed fifty identified dead; 72 unaccounted for and the total known dead was placed at 90. Nineteen more bodies were recovered last night, making a total of 107 taken from the jtiine thus far. ' The fact that 25 men were taken alive from the mine Sunday and that others were found yesterday behind a bulkhead which kept out the poisonous gases have caused hopes that men are still alive in the, iniuc
BOBBINS URGES HIS FRIENDS TO SUPPORT ELLIOTT
Defeated Candidate for Congressional Nomination Thanks His Supporters.
In a letter addressed to The Palladium, Byram C. Robbins, whose candidacy for the Republican congressional nomination was supported by the big majority of the Wayne county delegates to the Rushvllle convention, expresses his gratitude for the devotion of his supporters and urges the election of the .Republican nominee, Richard N. Elliott, of Connersville. Robbins is attending the officers' training school at Fort Benjamin Harrison. His letter follows: To the Editor of the Palladium: I desire herewith, through your paper, to express my most genuine gratitude and appreciation to all my Wayne county friends for their loyal and unselfish efforts in my behalf for the Republican nomination ' to congress. "With Very Real Feeling." This T do. not nerfunctorilv. but with
very real feeling and assurance of
hearty remembrance. Wayne county s evidence of belief in me and the widespread devotion of my friends banishes disappointment. That, after one of the hardest fights in the history of the sixth district, I was not nominated is, in comparison, of little conseQuence. uri !.-., f tyiqIIpo rt-opn1 nv mun wiri
opposed me, and with confidence in aj
united Republican party, completely ,
free from bitterness or factions, I appeal to the voters of Wayne county and the sixth district to support Richard N. Elliott, the Republican nominee. Ho is n man of hisrh inteerrltv and
strong ability and he will represent our'
district ably and patriotically. Record Demands Defeat. The Democratic nominee, Finly H. Gray, no man may assail personally, but his record in congress demands his overwhelming defeat and the emphatic disapproval of the district. He
will seek election as ' a supporter of the president, but his record in congress discloses, among other things, that upon great- non-partisan questions of high patriotic importance tnd national need, akin to questions now vital to the country, he, both by vote and speech, opposed measures favored by the president, opposed recommendations of the general staff of the army, and supported measures opposed by the president and the general staff of the army. Democrats, as well as Republicans, should join in his emphatic defeat. A vote for Elliott is not only a Republican vote; it is a vote to sustain all great ncn-partisan measures of national need and importance. BYRAM C. ROBBINS.
. PETROGRAD, (via London). June 12. Bandits of Kakhaetia in the Caucasus, who under a local Rob Roy, Acbuet Juti, for ten years have terrorized the dwellings in the valleys, murdering, plundering and kidnaping women, have just effected a reconciliation with their victims under romantic circumstances. ' After the revolution the Kakhaetians organized self-defense societies and a short time ago, called a mass meeting at Cud jiana railway station, from which a raid against the robbers was proposed. During the meeting envoys of Achmet appeared armed to the teeth and announced that although they had no conscientious objections against continuing the feud they were equally willing to conclude peace. , The obdurate Kakhaetians replied that bandits already captured by them must be handed over to the authorities for punishment. The meeting promised to end in a general disagreement when more bandits appeared, escorting Achmet's wife, a beautiful young woman of Christian origin, whom Achr
met after kidnaping, in 1913, converted into a devoted partner. ; Following the example of the Sabine women the bandit's wife fell on her knees, shed tears and so touched the hearts of the incensed citizens that peace was concluded on the spot. A resolution was adopted declaring that the Infamies committed by the Landits were due to the demoralizing in flu nee of the autocracy. A commit-; tee was dispatched to the minister of Justice with a petition asking for the quashing of pending prosecutions.

POSTOFFICE REQUESTS STAMP-USERS TO USE LARGER DENOMINATIONS
Economy in the use of stamps, by the use of those of the higher denominations wherever possible, is recommended to Richmond by the postofifce department. ' It costs just as much to make a onecent stamp as a two, and when a larger number of the smaller stamps is used, the government is out just that much, say postoffice officials. Thousands of dollars are wasted annually through this cause, according to them.
