A REPORTER representative called on
Clark at the Jail early Saturday morning
and he kindly granted us sitting for
the photograph which appears in this
issue which was taken by Swearingen,
the east side artist.
After returning to the Jail Mr.. Clark
submitted to short interview, but on
the advice of his attorneys would not
discuss the details leading up to the
tragedy. He appeared very nervous
and considerably excited, frequently
breaking down and crying while talking
been most devoted. He admitted the
doing it. That when he learned Duff
was in town he tried to get his wife and
go home, but could not get away, some.
when he shot Duff he did not remember
when he pulled the trigger. He insist
ed that his wife was not to blame, that
she was as innocent and pure as a new
tiers further. That he had killed Duff
the sight Of God, and had never in his
lilC OClOlC d NCdpOu VI any hluu.
While deploring the tragedy and not
at Garden Grove and all over the ,coun.
ty appears to be strongly running in
Clark's favor. He has staunch friends
who stand ready to give any bond,
should the judge decide to admit him TO
unteered to sign his bond, but it is

Clark has retained Miles & Steele, of
Corydon, Holman & Jackson and M.
f. Stookey, of Leon and S. H. Amos, of
Garden Grove, as his attorneys and it is
probable the defense will be insanity, as
it is claimed he has been acting strange
ly for several months, and has been I'M
der the care of physician for the past
year who has been treating him for ner-
vousness with tendency to insanity.

Hunting the seal from the icy, storm
swept coast OF Newfoundland is not sport
1t is toll, whereby. in part. the Newfound-
lander wins his scanty measure of bread.
The hunt LIS a slaughter, dull and bloody-a
leap into the whining. scurrying pack and
the swinging and thrust of an iron shod
gaff: merciless raining of blows, with a
silent waste of ice. all splashed red. at the
end of it.. There Is no sport In this, nor is
there any fear of hurt, for the harp seal
pleads and wfaines like child, even while
the gaff is falling, but the chase is beset
with multitudnous and dreadful dangers,
which are seldom foreshadowed and are

WILL HAVE A REGATTA.
The Potomacs Also Decide to Build a
New Boat House.

The board Of governors Of the Potomac
Boat Club met at the home OF President
John Hadley Doyle last night. 1t proved to
be very enthusiastic gathering. and after
a thorough discussion 1t was resolved to
build new boat house on the present site.
Steps will be taken at once to begin the
tearing down Of the old home and putting
up a new one. so that it will be ready for
occupancy by the LIST of May next. No de-
tails were given out as to the size or de-
sign of the new structure. but 1t was the
general understanding that a fine home will
be constructed by this energetic boating
organization.
Another point discussed at length and
finally decided was to hold big open re-
gatta next summer, the success of the one
in October deciding affirmatively the ex-
pediency of an annual regatta.
1t Ia within the bounds of possibilities
that the national regatta will be held here
next year, although no definite action along
this line has been taken.
