RICHARD OLNEY.
Suggested as a CANDIDATE for the
Presidency on the Democratic
Ticket.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 28.-The
Journal to-day says:
That a movement is under way to
make ex-Secretary CT State Richard
Olney the Democratic candidate for
President next year is revealed in d
letter from Boston to the Journal.
Gen Olneys campaign is based on
the theory that he is in favor OF i'm
perialism while opposed to annexa-
ticn.
"1'he writer Of the letter referred to
is very prominent in Democratic poll
tics, and he says the movement in Mr.
Olney's favor is we'll under way. 1t is
urged in his behalf that he, though a
Gold Democrat in 1896, did not make
himself obnoxious to the free silver
element and that on the expansion
question he would be an available can
didate, being opposed to the anneXa-
ton of distant islands to the territory
of the United States. Mr.. Olneys
views on the acquisition of foreign ter
ritory are very pronounced. He be-
iieves in the United States striving
with the other nations of the world for
commercial greatness, but not for po-
litical extension

amined. The first was Edith Mausef.
1t was on the strength of her testimony
that the warrant was sworn out. John

and Attorneys Robinson, Dryden and
Schuck for the prosecution.
She testified that j. R. Hissom talked
to her the day of the trial at his home
and on the street car going over to the
trial, and at. the jury room in the
court house. He wished her to testify
that in her opinion the young Doctor
was insane. She told him that if she
testified that way she would be afraid
of the young Doctor. He said that he
would make it all right with her. She
construed this to mean that he would
pay her for so testifying.
Carrie Mauser, sister of the first wit
ness, testified that James r. Hissonl,
in her presence, had urged Miss
Amanda Johnson, the hired girl, to
testify that the Doctor was insane,
saying that he would make it right
with her and protect her. Nothing
further was brought out in the cross
examination of either witness.

attentions, but struck her aunt, Mrs.
John Fleischer, who died last night.
Sanderson was brought to HoIton

ant and covered him with reyolyers.
The door of the room where the pris-
oner was confined was kicked open and
Sanderson, stupid from the effects Of
morphine, was bundled up in bed
clothes and placed in a farm wagon.
Leaving a guard over the restaurant
keeper and attendant, the mob drove
to a high bridge which crosses Banner
creek.
Here they bound Sanderson hand
and foot, tied stout rope about his
neck and pusHed him of the bridge.
His neck was broken by the fall. The

The subject of Sunday base ball was

freely discussed. There was a unani-
nous sentiment in favor of the matter,
and it was declared in the discussion
that a Wheeling minister who preached
"a sermon on the subject recently, did
not reflect the views of the working
men. Resolutions favoring Sunday
base ball were adopted, and a commit

]. R. HISSOM INTERVIEWED.


Mr.. James R. HissOm was seen last
night by Register reporter. He was
asked to make some statement with
regard to his arrest and said:
THE only statement l feel justified
in making at this time is that l am
innocent of the charge made against
me. Vel speak of my family and
Amanda Johnson-are all afraid of
my son. All OF us have noticed a
change in him ever since he returned
home from Germany. He is an excel
lent shot with a revolver and when he
has one of his spells he is just as liable
to shoot one of us as not. although
think at those times I'm the main Oh
ject CT his wrath. l have often wished
to send a card to the Register for pub
LEGATION and ask the general public
few questions. What would be my OBJ
ject in trying to put my son in an
asylum unless I thought it was for his
good? Would l have furnished him
with the means to get an education in
this country and later a higher one
abroad if l was going to clap him into
a mad house the minute he got home?
1 don't hold anything my son has done
or is doing against him, for l really
believe that the poor boy is demented.
All | want fer him is six months or
year of treatment, which, think, will
suffice to make him all right again. AS
to the testimony this afternoon, my
only object in speaking as | did to the
witnesses was to assure them that
would not allow my son to do them
any harm"
Charles T. Woods. the complainant
against James R. Hissom, lives about
four miles back of Bridgeport. Ohio.
He and the young doctor are very good
friends. The doctor has visited at the
Woods place several times.
