written statements, which are. backed
up with circumstantial evidence. The
detectives are trying hard to keen
their work a secret, but through other
sources bits of information are grad
ually coming to light.
A prominent Lawrenceburg citizen
says that man employed in the exec
utiye building was there shortly after
the assassination and told him and
several others that he was in the main
office of the Secretary of State when
the shot was fired. He said he saw
Goebel fall and then the door of the
Secretary of States private Office was
opened and several men were seen in
there with rifles
A Democratic reporter from Eastern

witnesses, will result in the bringing
in of the attorney as witness and
he will be forced to tell when, where
; and under what circumstances he ad

In several universities he'd won su2ero
renown;
He had out one book on physics and one

And a treatise on the bronical TUBES,
another on astronomy.
He'd theories on everything, from earth

He'd talk with YOU on placer mines, or
lace work or philoogy;
He could write on Christian science, or
on faience or on history
For to him the world Of learning held
not a single mystery.
But he met a girl from Louisville, who
never been to college.
Nor even gone to boarding school to
win store of knowledge;
But she gave him just one little book
that bowled him out completely,
And then She canaly tripped away, a
