THE FIRST WITNESS.
County Surveyor Hoover Pro-
duces a Plan That Need
ed VerificatiOn.

Mr.. Hoover was the first witness in
the case. 1t was necessary, in the first
place, to establish the corpus delictu, or
body of the crime. First, the location,
whether it was in Stark county, in the
state of Ohio. and some other details
to conform with the statutory require
ments. Mr.. Hoover's testimony was
descriptive of the location of the little
hut in which the late John Hartong
lived. The map of the surroundings
was shown to the jury. The little old
building has been removed to the rear
of the lot and the building in which
the meetings were held, and where
Henderson is supposed to have been on
the night of the crime, has been torn
down and nothing remains of 1t but the
foundation walls.
On cross examination Mr.. Hoover
said that his drawing was made after
the house had been moved to the back
of the lot and that 1t was not made
from his personal knowledge of the
place as it was on the night Of the
murder.
Mr.. Pomerene offered the plat in evil
dence, to which the defendant objected
The court asked that the matter be
deferred till further testimony was
offered. Mr.. Hoover was dismissed.
Court here adjourned to $3.50 o'clock
Wednesday morning.

Those who have frequented the court
room since the trial of William Hen
derson began have observed a woman
in gray, aged about-but that would
be unfair. She has always appeared
with her bonnet off and has been, ap-
parently, taking notes Of the trial.
Near her, or always within speaking
distance, has appeared fatherly look
ing citizen, smooth shaven with kindly
face and a not too erect form. Many
have wondered who they are. It was
hardly proper to state the situation
till the prosecution made it's state
ment to the jury, setting forth that
the state expects to prove that William
Henderson was in the vicinity Of the
home of John Hartong on the night
of the murder. To make that proof 1t
will be necessary to produce a witness
or witnesses that saw him there. 1t is
for this purpose that the woman in
gray and the fatherly appearing old
citizen are in attendance. They Swill
not be found in the court room again
till their testimony is in, as both have

CONTROVERSY SETTLED.
The Peoples Savings Bank Got
the Bridge Fund Refund
ing Bonds.

The county commissioners on Tuesday
afternoon settled the matter Of the $685.
900 bridge fund bonds and the Peoples
Savings bank gets the bonds. In order
to test the matter and get the tangle
Strengthened out the question was put
to vote. Mr.. Crawford moved that the
board reconsider the resolution passed
Saturday giving the bonds to the Peo-
pies Savings bank. Mr.. Johnson Sec
onded the motion. The question was
then put to vote and Mr.. Summer and
Mr.. Johnson voted to stand by the orig
inal resolution and Mr.. Crawford voted
to reconsider. The motion was there
fore lost and the question will not be
considered further. Mr.. Conrad SWEET
zer of the Peoples Savings bank was
called in and he started in to write the
bonds. When they are all signed the

A REMARKABLE GIFT.
$40, 900 Given Away; the Eminent Ply.
sician and Scientist, FRANKLIN MILES,
NJ. ID. LII. B Gives Two Dollars and
Half Worth of His Marvellous
New Treatment Free.

Such remarkable generosity has sell
dom, If ever, been equaled by physi-
clan. 1t will enable many thousands of
people suffering from lingering diseases
of the nerves, brain, heart, liver or
stomach, to obtain medicine free Of
charge and to test the marvellous cura-
tive properties of DR.. Miles latest Per-
sonal Treatment.
Few physicians will permit every one
Of their patients to test their skill and
their treatment free of charge, because
few have such unlimited confidence in
their remedies born of wonderful sue
cess. What can be fairer and more lib
eral?
Many hundreds of references from
Bishops, Ministers, Business Men, Far
mers and their wives sent free. Dr.
Miles New Personal Treatment has
cured many hundreds of cases pro-
nounced "incurable." 1t has a most re-
markable improvement on the usual
treatment and is eminently scientific.
The eminent divine and editor, Rev.
VIM. w. Bell, of Dayton, Ohio, says
editorially in the Sunday School Union:
I'VE desire to state that from personal
acquaintance, we know DR.. Miles to be
a most skilled specialist, a man who
has spared neither labor nor money to
keep himself abreast of the great ad-
vancement in medical science. He is
withal a thorough and conscientious
gentleman, and his offices are con-
stantly thronged with people who come
from all parts of the country to avail
themselves of his very great skill"
Mr.. julius Keister, of $50 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, testifes that Mr.
Miles cured him after ten able physi-
clans had failed. Mr. f. Held, 70 Cur
tbs street, Grand Rapids, cured after
failure of eleven physicians. Mrs, Liz
zie Renfrew, Wellington, Ark. Mrs. W.

been served with subpoenas, have been
sworn and come under the order for the
separation of the states witnesses, is
sued by the court Tuesday. They have
retired to the witness room.
The woman in the case is Belle Gates,
a lecturer and preacher. She halls
from Greenwich, Ohio, and on the even
ing of December 2, she was conducting
religious meeting in the hall that was
located in building Just south Of the
pottery, along the Valley tracks at
Greentown station. This building has
since been torn down., as explained in
the testimony Of Surveyor Hoover
Tuesday.
Isaac Stripe is the name of the faith
erly old gentleman, and he resides near
the pottery. 1t was he who had fixed
up the hall for religious meetings.
On the evening of the murder a crowd
was gathering at the hall and quite
a number had come in, when four
strangers entered. They acted in an un-
ruly manner and Isaac Stripe had trou-
BILE with them. Belle Gates will corrob-
crate the fact that strangers did come
in and that there was trouble. Abra-
ham Faust also saw the racket.
Who the strangers were is question
for the jury. The state expects Isaac
Stripe to say that one Of them was
William Henderson.
When the four men came in they
asked for pair of Greentown men.
One of them asked: What time will
Frank Byerly and Byron Walters
Gomez"
There was squabble about whether
there was to be a lecture or a sermon,
Stripe says was William Henderson
led the conversation. He says that one
of the fellows, a heavy set fellow who
wore dark coat, dark suit and a cap,
would continually spit on the floor.
That made Stripe mad and started the
trouble.
There were lamps about the room and
1t will be claimed that they shed sufti-
cient light for Stripe to get a view of
the men.
After this trouble the men left, prin-
cipally because Stripe had heated a
poker and was about to hand out a few
hot ones. They went from the building
and one of them went back of a pile
Of crockery ware and got a horse and
buggy that had been placed there. The
men didn't get in, but the fellow drove
away little later.

STRIPE APPROACHED.
Isaac Stripe says that he has been
bothered to death with detectives, law
yers and newspaper reporters. He says
a detective called on him every day or
two, and made him go over the whole
story. They brought him pictures and

thought reward ought to be offered
and they also thought that some of It
ought to come out of the estate of the
old man. They said so openly and in
such manner that Williams must hear
1t. He finally reluctantly consented to
offer q reward to stand good while the
estate was being administered. If an
arrest and conviction were had before
the estate were finally administered,
the hundred was to be paid: IL not, 1t
was to be withdrawn. Certain detec-
tives have said that they were not
given to understand any such provision,
but that is another matter.
Mr.. Shanafelt took Hartongs affairs
in hand and took the full eighteen
months to settle the estate. At the end
of that time Williams insisted on
settlement of everything and every
thing was turned over to him. This con-
sisted of something over $1,000 in
money hat had been placed in a Can
ton bank by Hartong. There was also
"a acres Of timber land, near Green
town, and this was also transferred to
the
WIFE OF WILLIAMS.
That still remains the property of
Mrs. Williams, and 1t is being held at
500 per acre. Whether 1t will realize
that is not known, but that is the price
Williams places upon it. So Mrs. Will
liams, the only blood relation of John
Hartong, got total Of $9,700 out of the
estate.
SHE DID NOT ATTEND THE
FUNERAL.
She and her husband are both cigar
makers and work at their trade in Lam
caster county, Pennsylvania, where
John Hartong lived the early years Of
his life. They went back to Lancaster
after living in Greentown short time.
She has not been in attendance at the
trial, and 1t is not expected that she
will be. Williams has not come. either.
Since the estate has been settled up
he has not said anything about a re-
ward for the murderers of his wife's
grandfather nor has he taken an
active part in ferreting out the case.
Hartong is unrepresented at the trial,
save by the prosecutor and an assistant,
appointed by the court and to be paid
out of the public funds.
But, there was still reward enough
left to attract some men who make it
their business to hunt down criminals.
1t is hardly expected, however, that
they will ever get a chance to finger
that hundred which Arnos Williams
has withdrawn from circulation, so
| far as this case is concerned.

FlOurishing Little Place.
North Industry, March q.


On Sunday evening, last, Mr. Thomas
WilcoXon, who lives on Mr.. Jacob
Buchman's farm, was seemingly in
sound health, but without warning the
death angel caked him home. A neigh
Dor, Mr.. Charlie Shortes, called to spend
the evening with him. Mr.: WilcoXson
bid him good night and then laid down
on a lounge to rest. His wife noticed
him snoring and shortly went to arouse
him, but to her surprise found him cold
in death. Mr.. NVilcoxon's remains will
likely be taken to Waynesburg for
burial, his former home. Mr.. Wilcoxon
was a hard working, honest, upright
man, and was well respected by all
his neighbors.
