Next Grand Jury
Will be Asked
TO Investigate It.
Lee Myers Alleged to Have Been Implicated In a
Number of Crimes That Puzzled Officers
Information Obtained by Detective
BurIisOn.

County Detective James Bu.lison has
obtained information that will be
brought to the attention of the next
Grand Jury and If it develops the way
he anticipates enough indictments will
be returned against Lee Myers to
keep a Court and Jury busy for u
term or two hearing the trials.
The detective claims that he has
enough evidence in every case to en-
sure a conviction. Although it is not
generally known Mr.. Burlison had con-
siderable to do with obtaining the
evidence which lead to Myers arrest
in connection with the Bruner dyna-
hitting case. The day following the
explosion he started to work OH the
case. He learned that there was Il
certain woman in East Akron with
whom Myers was on friendly terms
He visited this woman and from her
learned that Myers had made numer'
Gus threats in reference to what lie
intended to do to get even with Brunel
for the wrongs which he claimed had
been done him by the officer.
The night before the explosion he said
to this woman Somebody will be
blown to HI tonight and will be the
first one there after the explosion
AS soon as she learned of the dyna
miting of the Bruner house she sus
pected Myers. She kept her own coun
sci in the matter however, and it was
not until Detective Burlison visited hei
that she said anything in reference tc
the case. This information was giver
to Prosecutor Wanamaker and it was
of great assistance to him in the trial
One of the matters to be brought
to the attention of the next Crane
Jury will be the poisoning of the cattle
and horses of the Robenstine brothers
of near Logtown, Springfield township
This occurred Nov. 10, 1899. At th'
time it occasioned considerable excite
ment. officers were detailed on thu
case but they We're unable to fine
enough evidence to obtain an indict
ment against anyone. When Detective

was to be used, in Canton, and it wa

tance from Mogadore. Near the resi-
dence of a farmer he noticed someone
coming down the road and fearing that
he might be recognized he jumped over
the fence and hid behind the dwelling.
The farmer noticed his peculiar action
aud made note of it at the time. He
has since correlated the information
which was given to Detective Burlison
by a party who knew all about Myers
movements on that night. After the
vehicle had passed Myers proceeded to
the Robenstine farm, which was IL.
, Gated just across the Portage county
line and administered the poison.
Then he returned to the farm of the
other Robenstine brother in Spring
| field township and fed another portion
of the paris green to number of
cattle. The following morning the AMI.
mails were found dead in the lots.
Myers was one of the first men to ar
rive on the scene. No one said any
thing to him and he remained but a
few minutes. After completing his
work he returned to the home of
his friend in Springfield township and
was there and in bed when the sun
arose. He believed that he had ostab-
lished an alibi that could not be
| shaken.
! Besides this Detective Burlison says
I that he can prove that Myers stole a
, diamond ring from the icwelry store of
Bernard Wingerter, in the Hamilton
block. 1t is claimed that he entered
! the store with a watch which he in
| tended to have repaired. He handed
it to a son of the proprietor and while
the latter was In a back part of the
store Myers lifted the ring from tray
, which was in the top part of the safe
1t was not long until the ring was
missed but there was no evidence al
that time to show that Myers had
taken it. 1t was afterwards sold to Il
local saloonisr. 1t rs alleged that the
saloonist knew that it was stolen prop
erty when he purchased it.
While Detective Burlison was work
ing on the poisoning case he had oc
casion to visit Canal Dover. There
he met a party who told him that fol
several years Myers was in that place
on an average of at least once week

WHY WE LEAD ENGLAND

Illustration Afforded 10y Difference In
Treatment OF Locomotives.
Nothing perhaps better illustrates
the difference between British and
American methods in the present year
of grace thar the satisfaction of the
Great Northern Hallway company of
England that one of their locomotives,
built in 1870, has completed 1000, 900
miles. This is a record, says the COM
pany, a thing to be proud of, because
1t shows that our engines are made
to last and are not shOddy." But the
American view is quite different. This
record, says the superintendent of mo-
tive power of one of our great trunk
lines, is far beyond anything we can
show, and, | may add. is ahead of any
thing we intend shall be shown by any
of engines. If we kept an engine
in service thirty years We should think
We were neglecting our duty to the
public. An ngIne thirty years old Is
an ~antiquated machine. We expect to
get as much work as possible out OF
our locomotives, knowing that when
they are worn out progress will have
produced so many improvements that
1t would be no economy to continue
the older engine in service, ever If 1t
could be rebuilt. In England an en-
CINE is petted, and its life prolonged
as much as possible" Herein explains
in a sentence why England no less
than all the rest of the world Is suffer-
ing from the stress of American COM
petition. The best is none too good
for us, whether /; be in locomotives or
the machinery to make matches. and
the best is the cheapest in the end.
The English are satisfied with a loco
motive thirty years old-a locomotive
which has been patched, and tinkered.
and "pettad'-which is uneconomical
because it wastes fuel and is lacking
in power. Thirty years ago 1T was.
perhaps. the best machine of its class,
but machinery. unlike wine, does not
improve with age. The American rail-
way manager knows that it is cheaper
to build han to patch; that after an
engine has lived its life it Is economy
to send it to the scrap heap and buy
a newer, a better. and more powerful
machine, which consumes less fuel and
requires fewer repairs. The English
mar may know that his engine is not
