The daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1904-1905, 1904-02-18

The stock of Harry s. New Of India
napolis as a candidate to succeed him
self as national committeeman has
gone way up since he was Endorsed at
the Twelfth district convention. The
action there was a surprise to most
leaders, as it has been reported for
sometime that Senator Fairbanks and
what is termed as his machine" in
tend to elect Charles l.. Henry as
committeeman. The Twelfth is strict
~ a Fairbanks district, as he distrib-
utes the patronage there; so if he had
desired the defeat of New he could
have easily had Henry endorsed. 1t
is believed now that Senator Fair
banks proposes to keep his hands off
and permit New and Henry to fight it
out between themselves.

Billy Taylor, the Indianapolis can
didate for the Republican nomination
for governor, is full of enthusiasm over
his prospects of winning. He took oc-
casion today to contradict a story that
is going the rounds that he lost in
the Rush county primaries for the Sc
lection of delegates. He says that
he is sure of eight of the thirteen del
egates and may get more The friends
of .Hanly, however, expect to get nine
of the delegates. Taylor is not dis
mayed because the Twelfth district
endorsed Judge Penfield, as Penffeid
lives there and the endorsement was
naturally expected, but Taylor says
he will get the district when the final
round comes His Office is just now
one of the busiest places in Indianap-
oils for he is carrying on tremendous
correspondence.

Alice In Wonderland. !"

Its new thing and people Away s
like something new; but more than
that, 1t Is one of the prettiest things
ever seen here. This gorgeous spec
tacular production will be presented
to the Waxahachie public Friday
night Apr. s.
It's an operetta, little one-a
light one, but an altogether delight
full one in which about one hundred
OF our brightest children will take
part, and the fairy costumes, they
will wear will render the scenes
charming. The operetta was adapt
ed by Miss Hope Leonard of New
York, from Lewis Carroll's famous
story, that has been the delight of
young and old for generations. The
libretto is full of sparkling juvenile,
wittieisn and lively dialogue, and
the music bright and catchy.
Everybody knows the wanderinss
of "Alice" in the wilds, and how she
made friends with the white rabbit,
fish and frog, mock turtle, gryphou,
lobster, and other animals, and all
follow with Joy the development of
the pretty plot.

A second firm of attorneys appear
ed in the case. They succeeded as
well as the first attorney in protect
ing the prisoner.
1t is stated by one who was present
at the confession Of Hammond that
the prisoner was under the impress
sion that he was turning states evil
dence and that he would be let of,
If not scot free. at least with a light
sentence. He was led to believe that
1t was Christie the officers were try
ing to land and not Hammond, HIM
self. Christie. in truth, is but
youth Of 20. led on by Hammond.
Hammond is not new at the business
and 1t was he the officers wished to
convict.
Were Hammond's lawyers at this
confession? Did they advise IL and
consent to the conditions under which
1t was secured.

A large reward was at stake and

ives knew who Hammond's partner
was and that he was with him here
in Spokane and permitted him to slip
through their fingers. He was piped
off to the police at the same time
that Hammond was by the railroad

the confession that If he had been

some Canadian money at different

suddenly left of and jumped from
the window, making his escape.
The sisters have no idea how the
man gained entrance to the building.
All Of the doors were locked and it
is not thought that he gained his en-
trance through the window. He en-
tered the sisters room through the
door. When the sister saw the man
and realized his motive, she said to
him, Il am sister,"
II know it," answered the man,
"but l don't care"
The police are under the impression
that robbery was the motive of the
man, but this the sisters deny. The
patrol wagon was called to the scene
shortly after the man had made his
escape, but found nothing which
would enable them to locate the fiend
