vanced in years, who trusted Abbott
entirely, supposing him to be an honest
man. Abbott has disappeared. 1t is
claimed that merchants, manufacturers,
and farmers have lost 100000 by the
operations of this gang. They are said
to have been the promoters of two or
three fictitious companies, one called the
Standard Coal and Oil company, and
also of a banking concern which they
used as a decoy. II is said the gang
bought on notes and then sold for cash,
sacrificing the material they had secured
for anything they could get for it. A
favorite scheme was to get possession
of bicycles from manufacturers and job
bers and then to rattle the wheels or sell
them at a great sacrifice.

MADE HIM A THIEF
ONE STORY BRINGS ON ANOTHER
IN KENTUCKY.
Damage Suit of Mrs. Eugeuia Elrod Against
tho adams Express Company, on Trial
at Louisville, Brings Out the Alleged
Confession Of MRS. Minnie d. Ketchum,
Who Tells How Elrod Compelled Her
Husband to steal Thirty-Five Thous-
and Dollar Package From the Same
Company Several Years Ago.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 9.-Sorne sensa-
tional testimony was given before Judge
Barr this afternoon which revives the
story of the theft of a $4,000 package
from the Adams Express company few
years ago. Before the arguments in
the damage suit of Mrs. Eugenia Elrod
against the Adams Express company
were begun, the counsel for the express
company introduced as evidence an al
jeged confession made by Mrs. Minnie b.
Ketchum, Charlie Hardin's WIFE In
this confession she states that her hus-
band had told her that Charlton EIrod
got him the position with the express
company with the understanding that
they were to steal al least million dol
Jars from the company. Ketchum told
his wife, according to her confession,
that he was completely in Elrod's power,
and that Elrod threatened to have him
returned TO the Missouri penlten-
tiary for an unexpired term If he did
not do as Elrod directed him. Using this
came threat, Elrod, it is alleged, would
force Hardin TO give up his salary as
fast as it was drawn, giving him back
only enough to live on, and that IN
amounts of 81 and 81 at a time.
Finally, according to Mrs. Ketchum's
statement, Elrods creditors pressed him
to hard and ne told Hardin 70 take what
money he could get. Hardin came home
one morning with about $1,000 and said
that ne had stolen $4,000 and mad turn
ed the most of ii over TO Elrod. They
went to Cincinnati, where he gave Mrs.
Braun, his nother-inlaw, $1,000, with
which she bought a house in Moreland,
a suburb of Chicago. They made their
home there for awhale, having got from
Erod $4,000. Then they travelled over
the country and when he was finally
arrested only a small part of it was left.
From time to time, she says, Elrod
visited them and had got hack as much
OF the money as they would give him.
According to her confession, this nagging
by Elrod caused ner husband TO spend
the money and take to drinking. Before
he was arrested he had given his par
ents in Arkansas $1,000 with which they
purchased a home 1t will DE remem-
bered that Hardin was acquitted Of this
robbery in Nashville, where he was ia
ken for trial
He IS now in the Michigan City, Ind,
prison, for another offense.

THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.
General Harrison Asserts that No Inoum

General Harrison Asserts that No Incum-
bent has Satisfied All the People.
Ex-President Harrison writes on
"The Presidential Office" in his
This Country OF Ours" series, in
February Ladies' Home Journal.
In discussing the constitutional
provisions for the selection Of a
chief magistrate. he touches upon
the discussion in the convention
relative to q plural executive for
the nation, and upon the point
presents his own view: Expert
ence has 80 fully justified the con-
clusion reached by the constitu-
tional convention in the matter a
single executive head that no
change has ever been suggested.
The incum bent has never satisfied
every one, but the disconnected
have never sought relief by giving
him . double. Executive direc-
ton should always be single.
When anything Is wrongly done
we must be able to put hand on
the man who did IL. The sense Of
responsibility begets carefulness,
and that sense Is never 80 perfect
as when, after full consultation,
the officer must go alone into the
chamber Of decision. In all Of the
recent reform city charters this
principle 10 made prominent-by
giving the mayor the power to sp.
point the city boards and officers,
and 90 making him responsible
for the efficiency of the city gov.
eminent. Two presidents or three
with equal powers would ss surely
bring disaster, as three generals
Of equal rank over . single army.
I do not doubt that this sense Of
single and personal responsibility
to the people has strongly held our
presidents to . good conscience
and to high discharge Of their
great duties.
