Not far away was tin re.-t of it, in as bad shape.” These gruesome details of the findng of Abraham Rhimarson after he lad een killed by William Thompon. west of Little Walnut Church in Clinton township, in IM0, were giv■n the writer by Ed Mouck, living just west of Hamricks. Hi had them direct from .Mr. Talley, who, when hr was some sevt nty years old, was sick it the Houck h me -ome time, whet Mr. Houck was only a youth, and the old man and the youngster had man; long talks about old days in Putnam “.My grandfather Talley lived jus: west of where Rhinearson was found Geo. Smith lived there later. My nth--r grandfather, Jonathan Houck, liv'd a little farther we t on past Talley’s,” continued Mr. Houck. “My mother, Rachel Talley, wa: only about nine year- old. During thi forenoon of one hot day in Angus* -he saw two men coming down thi road from Rockville. Fiv y asked for water, which she got for them. They

went on.

“It was m t far fronj the house that they turned into the woods on the north -ide of the road,to rest. “That was election day (the dab was changed later) and my grandfather Talley and other men weri ?oming home from voting in Green astle, riding horseback, and had stop iied by the roadside between Green •a.-tle and his home. Hi- horse back •d ut into the road suddenly, nearly driking a man who was walking to ward (ireencastle, with his hat down over hi- eyes and his head lowered. "When Oliver Talley and the othet nen found the remnant- of Rhinearmii’s body, they also found a lettei duck back in a log which was one o' ‘he clews, possibly the only one, by which the dead man was connected with Bloomington, Iowa. John LyniT .v^ent out there and found that Rhin■arson had been accompanied by Wil liam Thompson when he left Bloom ington to come east. “When Lynch arrested Thompsoi er in Henry county, the next Jan uary, he was up on a roof, shingling “It has always been my understanding that Thompson talked freely of the murder. I was told that he said he would have given anything to recall the first blow, but it was toe late, and he had to go ahead and kill Rhinearson. "W hen the two men went into the woods near grandfather’s house it was in the forenoon and they just wanted to rest awhile. Rhinearsor vas asleep, 1 guess, when Thompson had his sudden Impulse to kill him, mil Thompson grabbed a piece of limb lying near and hit him. It wa.lone in broad daylight.

My grandfather was called a- a witness to that fact. Rhinear--on - sister was another witness, com ing from Henry county. She identified his coat. "On the day of the hanging, (February 12, IKJi) | think my grandfather Talley rode in thi 1 wagon with Thompson. Thompson sang and talked freely all the way to the place of execution.” His Grandfather I.ed Singing Aaron Stewart, grandfather of T. W. Stewart, win, is connected with the American Railway Express company of thi- i ity, led the singing at the place of execution, and also was with Thompson, and sang with him as he rode from the jail down to the extreme -outh part of town, on Berry street, between E|ihriam street (now College avenue) and Locust. T. W. Stewart is so fortunate as to have in hi- possession the identical Methodist Hymnal from which his grandfather and the condemned man sang, and he also knows which wa.the last sung, a.- the two men stood Upon the scaffold. In that old copy of the hymnal, the tunes were not printed hut were :n a separate book known as the Hurtnotiist. The hymnal stated which tune was to be u.-ed and the page on which it would be found In the tunehock. This last one was sung to Carmel. It i- lugubrious in the ex-

After joining lustily in the song, Thompson proceeded cheerfully to got hung. The Rev. J. L. Belotte was the officiating clergyman at the execution ^ and prepared a pamphlet covering th j entire affair. In the hymnal in the | possession of Mr. Stewart was a por- j tion of that account, as reprinted in a newspaper years ago. The last sentence thus preserved i- this: “I alone done the deed, and no one else was privy to it.” —G. E. BLACK.

Keeps Dp His Correspondence

SHI MAKER’S DUTIES VI PENAL FARM DO NOT PREVENT FETTER WRITING INDIANAPOLIS, March 1. (UP)— The Indiana Penal farm regulate ns permitting inmates to write only one j letter every two weeks have not pro-! vented Dr. E. S. Shumaker, Indiana \ Anti-Saloon League superintendent, j from keeping up with his large vol- , -line of daily correspondence. Shumaker, who is serving a sixty ' lay* sentence for contempt of the luliana Supreme court, according to E. I. .Miles, League attorney, has all mail received at League headquarters for him, forwarded to the Penal faun vhere he reads it. Then the letters are returned to the League office where Miles semis out form letters acknowledging receipt to the senders. Shumaker has many visitors at the Penal farm, including relatives," Miles and League workers. Included in Shumaker’s mail are nany letters expressing indignation and sympathy upon his incarceration in the Penal farm. These communi:ations even have {aken the form of poetry. However, Miles said, the mail also includes a proportion of missives from persons not in sympathy with Shunaker or the League movement, who float over the League superintend•nt’s misfortune. Most of these letters are written in iisgui-ed handwriting and are unsigned.
