JUDGE M,cRAY,s BILL.

Senate Passes 1t, but House Recon-
sfders-An Investigation.
The bill granting Judge McCray, of the
Marion County Criminal Court, an increase
in salary from $3.50 to $500 is in a Pc
culiar legislative tangle. The Senate passed
it last night, the Judge being present and
taking an active interest in seeing that it
went through all right. There was little
opposition in the Senate.
The original Senate bill, providing for an
increase of his salary to $4,000, and which
was reported stolen after it was ready for
final action by the House, turned up yes
terday in the State printers hands. Clerk
Brown had the printers receipt for the bill
Judge McCray, stated in the Journal
yesterday, had intimated that one of the
most prominent of the Marion coun-
ing way with the bill, and this stirred up
a number of the members who had before
beer friendly to the bill Immediately upon
converting in the afternoon resolution was
House in passing this BILL and this was
passed The Senate, however, passed the
bill in the evening, probably in ignorance
of the Houses action.
One of the members of the House car
ried resolution in his pocket the entire
afternoon calling for an investigation of
the disappearance of the Criminal Court
bill, and also of the manner in which the
increase of salary was granted. He did not
have the opportunity. however, to introduce
the resolution 1t is claimed that Judge
McCTay violated one of the rules of the
House in the course of his lobbying He
also lobbied for his bill after Representa-
tive Willoughby secured the passage of a
resolution excluding from the floor all per-
sons who took advantage of their privilege
of admission to lobby.

Senate last night that called for a rebuke
from Lieutenant Governor Nye The chair
men of several committees had for a long
time attempted to get recognition for the

failure OF the presiding officer to see him
caused Senator Kern to lose his temper.

Anxious About Roby Bills.

Governor Matthews is still anxious about
the passage of the Roby bills. particularly
the winter-racing bill, the bill granting
power to remove derelct sheriffs, and the
prize-fghting BILL These have been resting
in the Senate, while the friends of certain
bills creating a new court for Lake county
have been pressing their bill with ardor. 1t
is said the cour,-biI lobby expects to have
the mees sure rushed through to-day, but that
friends of the Governor have determined
that nothing shall be done until the Roby
measures are passed. Democratic Sen
ator said yesterday that il the Roby bills do
not pass the Governor will veto the Dill to
create a court in Lake county. He denied
that there was a. threat in this but said
that without some needed legislation about
Roby matters there would not be any need
for another court in that county.

MURDER SUICIDE.
Henry litkey Kills Lizzie Cole
man Of 0sterviIIe, Mass,
And Shoots HimseIf--AII the Result OIL
Mad Infatuation for Girl.
Was married-Denied House by Her Parents
Terrible Deed Follows.

Hyannis, Mass, June l0.-The uuiet
village of Osterville was greatly excited
this morning. by the murder of Lizzie
Coleman, aged ID years, while on her way
to school, by German laborer named
suicide by shooting.
Litkey, who had wife and three chill
dren in Germany, had been employed on
the farm of S. S. Leonard for the last six
years. He was steady, honest and faith
full. For the last six months he had been
infatuated with the Coleman girl, and
spent considerable of his spare time at the
house of Mr. Coleman
HIS infatuation was not noticed by the
family of the girl until recently, when her
parents forbade his coming to the house.
He made the girl various presents at diff
ferent times and also made present to
the mother.
After his visits were forbidden he
wanted the presents that no had made the
girl and her mother returned, which they
refused to do, and that was what melted
him to commit the terrible deed. He
went repeatedly for the presents, but they
refused to return them.
The girl with two brothers started for
school, about s 80 this morning. Litkey
was in the habit of meeting her on the
way to school for the purpose of speaking
with her, and often Intercepted her on the
way home.
He fired two shots at one of the boys,
missing him, and asked him what he had
to say about turning him out of doors.
The boy replied: Il did net say that.
Father was the one who said it.
Then Litkey turned to the girl and shot
her twice, the first time through the
mouth, the second taking effect in the
back of the head or neck. He immedi-
ately turned the weapon upon himself and
fired, the ball passing through his head.
Both probably died instantly.
He was about 30 years old and had fol-
lowed the sea before he came to Osterville.
He was intelligent. He said to parties
that if Coleman would return the watch
which was one of tho presents, that would
be all he wanted of them, but they refused
After he was refused access to the home
and family of Mr.. Coleman he became
respondent. He left no papers that can
be found at present
