Styled Him the "Con-
veyor Of Crooks
RidicuIes Story Told by Akron
Witness.
Carrie Stitcher's Testimony Was
Picked to Pieces. aNs

The fate of William Henderson now
rests with the twelve men who com
pose the jury at Canton,
The arguments We're completed by
both sides Thursday. The sensation
of the day was the breaking down of
Henderson during the plea Of his con-
sci, Judge Baldwin. ~
James Grant opened for the defense.
Among other things he took up the
testimony of Jack Wilson, the Akron
liveryman, the ''conveyor of crooks"
as he referred to him. He wanted to
know why the state didn't bring "his
dirty running mate" Skates Brehme.
He wan;ed to know why Brehm,
wasn't brought here to bolster up the
testimony of Wilson.
"Do you believe Henderson said
what Wilson said he did," in
quired Mr.. Grant. did you think that
a man whose hands are red with the
blood of a fellow man would flippant-
ly remark about it to everyone he
meets, just as carelessly as you would
light your clear or ask your friend 10
have one with you? If Bill Henderson
is man like that we should have in
terposed here defense of insanity"
MI. Grant referred to the testimony
of Carrie Stitcher. Of Mogadore and
insisted that there was some discrep-
encies in it that made ,ne ground for
disbelief of all of 1t. He said that she
claimed that Henderson told her that
Little Billie" was with him in the
Hartong affair, when, as matter of
fact, Little Billy was the bank burg
lar that was killed at the Isaac Harter
and Sons bank in this city August 81,
1897, four months before the perpetra
ton of the crime at Greentown. 1t was
contended that it could not be fact
that Henderson told her that Little
Billy" was along and that this reflected
upon the testimony as whole.
During the day, two jurors handed
Judge McCarty threatening letters
that they had received. Both letters
said that verdict of guilty would be
the signal for dire vengence. 1t was
also stated that Anthony Piero, a wit
ness for the defense was waiting for
an oportunity to horsewhip Prosecutor
Pomerene.

One hundred couples attended the

clock until midnight. The event was
one Of the leading social functions Of
the year. Most of the company mem
bers who attended were in uniform.
Lemonade was served during the even
ing. The music rendered by Prof. w.
T.. Stiekle's orchestra of six pieces add
ed charm to the occasion. Those in
the orchestra were Gustav G. Smith,
leader and violinist; Park J. Shepard,
trombone; Joe Parker, cornet, Frank
Farsi piano; Chas. Pike, claironet;
Mr. Harrington, traps.
All formality was put aside and ev

-Four Russian sailors, who are residing
in Barberton, attended the dances as
visitors dressed in sailors uniforms,
and enjoyed themselves immensely
They said the American dances were
too slow. In their native country the
people danced to very fast time.

A member Of the department who

whether on duty or off duty or a
member of the department who

any right whichever, while wearing the

1t is high time that the truth or
falsity of these charges against the
members of our fire department should
be known. Mr.. Palmer is the man who
will, II elected to the Council, insist
that they be known and the people of
the Second ward are more interested
at the present time in knowing We
facts in this matter than the people of
any other ward in the city.

prised, Notwithstanding the normal Re-

to see him elected.
Very respectfully,

IN DlSTRUST.
Akron Woman Wanted to
Know Something
In Reference TO Canton Man Who Was
to Marry Her.

An Akron woman who is about to
wed former Canton man, apparently
was in distrust about her intended
husbands past, taking into considera-
ton letter which the mayor received
this, Thursday, morning from Akron,
says the Canton News-D Democrat. The
Mayor refuses TO state the name of the
woman, who alleges she is the daugh-
ter Of prominent parents. The letter
goes OH to state that it had been re-
ported to her that her husband had
been placed under arrest in this city
OH some charge or other, and that he
had been released pending good beha-
vior. The Mayor Investigated the mat
ter at once and learned, that no such
man had ever been arrested, and that
the intended husband was doubtless
what he represented himself to be.
The woman states In her letter that
she would absolutely refuse to live
with the man IL she learned that what
she heard was true concerning him.

Great improvements Are
to be Made
On c., T. & v. Between
Akron and Cleveland.
Work to be Completed Before
Summers Passed.

That the Cleveland Terminal & Val
ley railroad will get a large portion
of the S50,000,000 announced to be
used for bctterment of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad system is shown by
the fact that engineers have recently
been over that portion of the Valley
road between Cleveland and Akron
surveying the property for double
tracks, says the Canton News-Demo-
crat The distance between the two
points is SO miles which will cost, in
cluding grading, ballasting and plate
laying, bridges, culverts and cattle
guards complete, $4,000 per mile,
making a total of $456,000. The work
will be commenced as soon as the
weather will permit, and be completed
before the sumer is past. This work
of double tracking that portion of that
great system of railroad will greatly
facilitate the establishment of a
through fast vestibule service between
Cleveland and Washington and Bal
timore. The consolidation of the Bal
timore & Ohio, Pittsburg & Western,
and Cleveland Terminal and Valley
roads has made such an improvement
necessary. The b. & o. now has the
shortest line between Cleveland and
Baltimore and Washington, which can
be materially shortened by building
the Peninsula link which would con-
meet with the Pittsburg & Western
east of Akron, giving short and di-
rect line between Cleveland and Pitts
burg. With the improvements made
on the @. Il. & V. the through service
can be made the fastest between the
cities named, and will no doubt make
great inroads into the business of the
Pennsylvania, which now controls the

One Of Best Known Citizens In the
Ward.


TO the Editor Of Democrat:
Your editorial in last Wednesdays
paper on the councilmanic fight
in the Second ward has opened the
eyes of the voters of that ward to the
importance OF the situation. After
reading ii | made some inquiry and dis
covered that yOu had not told all the
facts in connection with the matter.
! am informed that Mr.. Rice, the Re-
publican candidate for Council, is not
only the firemens candidate, but that
he is brother of Fireman Rice, sta
toned at Engine house No. 1. This In
itself ought to be sufficient to defeat
him. Besides / understand an ordi-
nance to increase the salaries of Akron
firemen will come before the new Coun-
ell.
1t is a we'll known rule that no case
can be tried before a judge related to
one of the parties to the action. And
this same rule ought to apply with
equal force to the case involving the
efficiency, capability and the compen-
sation of our fire department.
If one-half of what has been reported
concerning the department is true,
there ought to be some radical changes
made in 1t. But it would be the height
of folly to attempt any investigation
with the Board of City Commissioners
and Council pledged in advance to
stand by the present department.
1 myself had a talk with several Of
the Commissioners and they have said
frankly that the department is not
what it ought to be; that the present
head of the department, while an excel
lent man personally, is lacking in exec
utive ability and has no control what
ever over his men; that there is no
real head of the department and that
it would have, long ere this, been to-
tally demoralized and disorganized,
had 1t not been for the fact that Me-
chanical Engineer Loomis assumed
duties not belonging to his position
and usurped authority not rightfully
his; that while nominally he holds the
position of Mechanical Engineer, he is
in reality, the.chief of the department.
They admit that this is not as it should
be, but still they have not the courage
to make change.
If the department is as it should be,
it's members ought to court an investi-
CATION. No capable, efficient man ever
objects to turning a search light upon
his official conduct. He is perfectly
willing that every nook, corner and re-
cess should be subjected to the most
scrutinizing search.
The Republican candidate in our
ward, if elected, will use all his efforts
to prevent our citizens from arriving
at the truth, while Oh the other hand,
am satisfied that il Mr.. Palmer is
elected, he will demand that the truth
be revealed, let it hurt whomsoever it
may. He will be the friend of every
member of the fire department worthy
of his friendship,-th eenemy Of every
member incompetent and inefficient.
If, as is rumored, some of the men,
bers are too freely addited to the drink
habit, Mr.. Palifier will insist upon its
being known who these members are,
and thus relieving the sober members
of the department from an unjust
