PIKE COUNTY MURDER.
Grand Jury at Petersburg lndicts two
for the Murder Of Smith.

The Pike county grand jury re-
turned indictments against Frank
Siple and John Cline, charging III, m
with poisoning r. =. Smith. No
Indictment was returned against
Jake Battle, one Of the men now in
Jail.
The three men were taken before
Judge +. A Ely Of the circuit court
Thursday and the indictments were
read To them. The date of trial
was fixed at June 27.
A motion was made 10 release
Battle from custody, the grand Jury
having failed to indict him. Prose
cutor w. +. Cox said he would not
object to this if Battle was placed
under bond to appear as a witness
at the trial. Battle connot give
bond and will have to remain in
jail
The general opinion in Petersburg
is that Siple and Cline will be con-
victed of murder in the first degree.
This being the case the sentence
will in all probability be death, as
the friends of the murdered man
will accept no other sentence. TIE
evidence against the accused is
strong and the attorneys for the de-
fense have no theory on which to
fight the prosecution. 1t was prov
en- before the grand jury that Siple
bought the morphine that killed
Smith at Bergen 4 Oliphant's drug
store.
Siple, it is said, waited until both
Mr.. Oliphant and Mr.. Bergen were
out of the store. He then purchas
ed the morphine from a new CLERK
clerk in the store.
Siple's friends have no hope o
his acquittal, although they have
employed Dillon Il Greene to de
fend him. Cline is not able TO EN-
pl ~ an attorney and has no friends
According to the evidence givel
before the grand jury Battle was il
no way connected with the murder
He fell in with Siple and Gin
shortly after the morphine had bee
: administered to Smith.
: The stomach of the poisoned ma
has been sent to Cincinnati, Ohio
for chemical analysis.

These war times have tried mems souls

Of privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. has
done among the U. :. Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for. when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de-
cided to provide them, free Of cost, with
enough for every man. and have already
given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds Of BAT

Tobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at total
cost Of between fifty and sixty thousand dol.

This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, 80 that every camp and every
hospital of the United States Army has
been supplied with enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United States Ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome

when we hear the remark again that
Corporations have no SOULS" that there
Is one American corporation whose soul
