So He Suggests That 1t Be Made

FOR STATE PRINTER

The first intimarion OF how the legisla-
ture will stand on the state printer ques-
tion has been made public by Editor
Ed w Hoch Of the Marion Record who
in this weeks issue Of his paper tells all
he knows about the printer situation and
then moves that the nomination Of Major
J. X. Hudson be made unanimous.
Edito- Hoch publishes a letter, Of
which he sent copies to all the members
of the legislature in which he said:
"MY DEAR SIR:-I write you frankly
concerning the state printing. AS many
of my friends know, this is the only Office

But during the campaign 1 have care

Commenting on the result Of the letter
he says:

looked in the window as
he claims to have done he could scarcely
have failed TO have seen the covered re-
mains, for the view from one side of the
house to the other was unObstructed. and
the moon was at its fullest However,
George Goddard, foreman of the street
force, says Knight attempted to tell sew
eral men by signs about his knowledge
OF the affair as early as a week ago, bat
they understood him to be referring to
fight he had seen somewhere.
The axe with which the murder was
committed does not belong to the Matson
house Mrs. Matson had new axe of
her own in the house, which had no blood
on il. The bloody axe is an old one
made out of a heavy limb of hedge-wood-
When the owner of the axe is found. the
mystery will be much nearer solution.
Mrs Matson had pronounced and &C.
centric ideas about how affairs OF govern
ment should be conducted One of her
hobbies was that the county made a great
mistake in encouraging pauperism by
distributing free food among the poor,
She often went to the poor commission
ers aud to the Associated Charities and
protested against their supplying some
of her neighbors whom she said were
lazy and able to work if they were dis
posed to. On one occasion Mrs Matson
expressed slight fears in regard to one
colored m8n especially who is known IN
that part of town as a tough character.
