Sheriff Frank Mckinney took Mel

ductor James Shelter, to the Massil-

ternoon. Smith did not relish going,
as he seemed to be entertaining hopes
that he would be released, owing to
the controversy as to his destination.
He objected to being handcuffed, but
the sheriff paid no attention to his
protests and put the iron bracelets on
him.
The trustees of the Massillon state
hospital held meeting at the insti-
tuition Thursday and the case was pre-
sented to them. DR.. Eyman, the su-

against him, and II he is ever released
as cured it is altogether likely thai
he will have to answer to the charge.

Akron. Jan. 16.-A head-on collision
between two Northern Ohio Traction
and Light company cars on the Ak

morning resulted In serious injury to
Eugene Hancock, motorman on one oil
the cars. Both cars were filled with
passengers, but fortunately none OF
them was seriously injured. and Han,
cock escaped with broken arm and
leg. The motorman Of the other cai
jumped and was not injured.
The collision was caused by the con-

his orders and the cars met with great
force on curve north of this city. II
is considered miraculous that the pas
sengers escaped without injury. The
curve is at the top OF hill seventy
five feet high. at the bottom of which

The WiImot "swankey" case will be
carried to the supreme court and the
laws imposing the Dow tax upon deal

Rogers, Rowley & Bradley, Of that
city will act as counsel. Attorneys
Craine & Snyder, CT Canton, hare also
been retained in the case.
Eugene Stutz, of Wilmot, was the
dealer in "swankey." He had taken
out United States license and the
auditor placed him upon the dupli
cate for the Dow tax. He was moi
able to pay the Dow tax and Deputy
Treasurer Harry Knoblock went Ia
nis place of business and took posses.
sion of his goods and sold them tc
satisfy tie county's claim. There was
no .'swanlley" in sight and the fixtures
brought less than SIS.
The building in which the traffic was
corried on was owned by George Stutz
q. brother, and, he was notified that
he would have to pay the amount o
the Dow tax. The whole thing could
have been settled for $780, but George
stutz declined to pay and said he
would fight the case. =.
The Renner company agreed to stand
back of him, and bear The greater par,
of the expense. and Attorney Snyder
stated that the, case would be carried
to the highest courts lin order to ge
a decision. One of the defenses vii
be that "swankey," containing les
than 2 per Cent of alcohol. is not In

Sentenced To Death,
Col. Lynch, Member of Purlia-
'ment, Guilty of Treason.
Fought for the
Beers.

London, Jan. %. Col Arthur
Lynch, member of the parliament,
was found guilty of high treason
TO-DAY and sentenced to death.
" "hen asked if be had anything
to say as to why he should not
he sentenced to death, he replied:
"Ihank you, | will say nothing"
The sentence of death was pass
ed on each of the four counts in
the Indictment. The prisoner
then by word from the court was
removed into custody.
Colonel Lynch throughout bore
himself with unfaltering compo-
sure. He walked out steadily
between the jaiIers and past the
bench where his wife and other
relatives wero seated. Mrs. Lynch
has been given permission to see
her husband. Although formal
ly sentenced to be hanged, Lynch S
sentence will no doubt be commut-
ed.
After the prisoner had been re-
moved, Lynch and his counsel
had conversation regarding the
course t. be adopted in the future,
and later it was announced that
no action would be taken at pres
ent. Counsel can proceed with
applying for writ of error, but
it is thought that this may be
rendered unnecessary by the com
mutation of sentence to n short
term of Imprisonment, in which
case it is probable that The priso
ner will accept the situation.
The London newspapers this
morning take it for granted that
the sentence passed upon Colone'
Lynch will be commuted. They
urge that punishment should be
inflicted exemplary enough to act
as a deterrent, but not sufficiently
severe to make Lynch martyr.
