The league has also taken space in the local news-papers In the hope of making its side of the controversy appear in a better light before the public, and in this space to-day a bitter attack was made on the Rev. Sidney Bennett, the head of the Anticrime League, who has been in Elwood for a week or more working actively to secure a successful set of remonstrances from all four wards of the city.

PARALLELED IN A NOVEL CRIME FOR WHICH HESRY SEWARD IS MELD AT GREEXCASTLE. Book Found in Alleged Murderer's Home Mrs. Drake Released on Bond Attempt at Suicide. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE. Ind., July 15. The crime of the murder of Mrs. Heury Seward, for which her husband is now in jail. Is claimed by many people to be a duplicate, intentionally, of one outlined in a detective story found in Seward's home. The most striking similarity is in the following passage in the stoty, coming immediately after the finding of the body of the victim: "The surgeon Who was summoned declared that tho dtath had been the result of a crime, that the wounds and fractures on the head and face had been caused by some heavy lnstrumnt, such as a hammer; that from the position of the body Gabriel Boysson must have been assassinated in bed." A, detective in the story investigates the murder and describes the method used in the killing as follov.s: "The unfortunate man slept. Then the guest, armed with a mallet or hammer, entered; he advanced to the bed and satisfied himself that his host was asleep; he raised the weapon and struck the first blpw on th" forehead: Boysson was only stunned; he arose, and without seeing, extended his arm and caught his assailant with his hand.'' The story is "Victor Maurcy," but the name of the author cannot be found. Surgeons who were consulted about the injuries on the head of Mrs. Seward say they could not have been inflicted with the bloody club that was found: that a hammer or some instrument of that nature must have been used. Mrs. Seward was alBO first struck as she lay on her bed asleep, and she arose aftr th first blow, only to be struck down again, this time to the floor. .-, DRAWN FROM THE LAKE.

WORSE THAN THE MOBS EVAY1LI.E LABOR lMOS PERSECI TE MEMBERS OF MIL1TI . Soldiers Assaulted and Robbed of Employraent 'Propxrens of Investigations Queer Report from Xewbin. Special to the Indianapolis Journal EVANS VILLE, Ind., July 15. The labor unions of the city are making a hot fight on the members of the local military company which took part In the recent riot, and the indications now are that all the members of the company will have to seek other quarters. Captain Julius Blum, of the militia company, is employed by the Cook Grocery Company. The labor people informed the firm that unless Captain Blum was discharged the iiouse would be boycotted by the laboring people. Following this the Good Citizens' League iuformed the grocery company It would be boycotted by them if Blum were discharged. Captain Blum has beert retained thus far. At least forty members of the military company have lost their places of employment since the riot as the result of the opposition of the labor unions. All members of the company belonging to the unions have ht-n released from membership in the unions. Several members of the militia have bi'v'n assaulted on the streets at night, supposedly by members of labor unions. Coroner Matthew Walling, with the exception of one witness, finished his examination this afternoon of the recent riots in this city. By far the most important witness was Mayor Charles G. Covert. The mayor testified that he had offered to give Sheriff Kraxt twenty deputies for the jail on the night of the shooting. July 6. but that the sheriff replied he needed only one man. The mayor said he sent over a patrolman, Ira Wiltshire, and the rest of his specials and deputies were sent 10 Baptisttown, the negro suburb that had been threatened with destruction. Only the militia and one officer were left to guard the jail. One city official owns about sixty negro shanties in Baptisttown. and. as he had been notified that the insurance -n the buildings had been canceled, he asked faff protection from the police, and It was given him. Dr. William H. Gilbert testified that he asked Patrolman Wiltshire to go outside the jail shortly after the shooting began and arrest the man who seemed to be the leader of the mob. He refused, saying he placed some value on his life. Dr. Gilbert thinks had the leader been arrested there would have been no bloodshed. Joseph Allman, father of Hatel Allman. who was killed while seated in the buggy with her parents, said the militia fired on the mob without provocation. Late this evening Judge Louis O. Rasch, of the Vanderburg Circuit Court, received a telegram from Joseph A. Byers, superintendent of the Reformatory at Jeffersonville, stating that Lee, or Tinsley. the murderer of Patrolman Massey. had developed pneumonia and was in a serious condition. Judge Rasch said he would not attempt to have the negTO brought back until he had fully recovered. He thinks the negro Is In a precarious condition, as Superintendent Byers states. At Newhurg. a small town a few miles SOOf of here, to-rtay two negro boys, Henry Asher and John Powell, each aged fourteen, tied paper to the body of Roy Moor, a white boy, aged sixteen, and set fire to It. The boy ran home, badly frightened, and his parents extinguished the flames before he was badly burned. The affair has caused considerable excitement among the white people of Newburg. The negro boys were arrested. Refugees Told to Move On. S'prclal to tho Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HACTE, Ind., July 15 -The police to-day ordered two negro refugees from Evansvllle out of the city.
