DID NOT HEED WARNING
And Were Ground to Pieces Be-
meath the Wheels of Freight
Train.
Especial to the Palladium.l

Newcastle, Ind. December 10
Two section men were instantly kill
ed about twenty miles east of here
this evening at z O'Clock. One of
the men was Albert Campbell, of
Mohawk, but the name of the other
man has not been learned. 1t is
thought that he lived at Mohawk,
also. The men were on a handear
near Maxwell and were going to
Maxwell when they were struck by
an east-bound freight train. The
engineer saw the men and blew
his whistle, thinking they would get
off the track. They did not pay any
attention to the signal and it was
too late for the train to be stopped.
Both of the bodies were horribly
mutilated. The men were employed
by the Big Four railroad as section
hands and, they had been working
with gang of men near Maxwell. 1t
is thought that they may have been
drinking.

was painfully injured in the collapse
of the bridge over Martindale's

the conductor, who was acting as
brakeman on the ill-fated train, was

TOOK A DOSE Of MORPHINE
Arrested Last Week With Man
Named Lee Adams-Is Now
Out of Danger.

Ida May Tull attempted to end
her life last evening by taking NOR
phine. She was discovered by the
members of her family and a physi-
elan was notified and at late hour
last night she was reported to be out
of danger Miss Tull has been very
despondent for some time. About a
week ago she was arrested with a
man by the name of Lee Adams on
the charge of larceny supposed to
have been committed at Eaton. She
was taken back to Eaton for trial,
but the judge of the court there let
her 90 on account of the condition of
her health. She had hemorrhages of
the lungs all the time she was con-
fined in the jail After her release
she was brought to Richmond by her
parents and taken to her home in
North Nineteenth street. Miss Tull
did not improve very fast and the
condition of her health coupled with
the fact that she had been in very
serious trouble, made her very de-
spondent. The man Adams, with
whom she was arrested, is now con-
fined in the county Jail waiting trans
fer to Michigan City. He has been
the cause of Miss Tull's arrest prev
ious to the case last week and she
claimed that he had some sort of an
influence over her.

A new TRIAL
IS DENIED
HALEY GIPE WILL GO TO THE
PENITENTIARY
DECISION CAUSES SURPRISE
Judge Morris Surprised the Crowd
by Making the Decision Yes
terday.
Especial to the Palladium.)


Newcastle, Ind, December 10
Contrary to all expectations, Judge
Morris, today overruled the motion
for new trial for Haley Gipe. The
Judge had stated that his decision
would be given on Saturday and
consequently a very small crowd was
in the court room when the decision
was made. In overruling the deci-
sion Judge Morris said that con-
viction or the charge of inviluntary
manslaughter did not give him sutfi-
cient power to order new trial.
The general opinion is that if Gipe
is given a new trial he will be hung.
He is convicted on the charge of
numbering Mollie and Buelah Star
buck on the night of July 9, 1904.
Gipe was in the court room when
Judge Morris rendered his decision.
He did not display much uneasiness.
A smile was on his face from the
time he was brought into the court
room until he was removed. How
ever, he slightly paled when he was
informed that he could not have a
new trial. His attorney, w. A.
Brown, stated today that he would
appeal to the Supreme Court at once
and is now working on his twelve
exceptions to be fled with-the court.
Gipe will be taken to the prison at
Jeffersonville on next Monday by
Sheriff CHRISTOPHER.

The money for the Palladium s
Christmas fund to purchase gifts for
the city's poor children is growing
larger and larger and by Monday
the sum of $50 is expected to be rails
ed.
The majority of the contributions
have been sent in by men and women
and the Palladium hopes that the
older people will continue to contrib
ute but it is the children who can af-
ford to give little sums to their less
fortunate play mates who have failed
to- respond to the call. These little
folks will all have their stockings
we'll filled on Christmas day and all
the good things to eat that indulgent
parents can furnish them, but in the
same school room in which they sit
are many little boys and girls who
will not receive one single present
unless they aid Santa Claus in a
substantial way so that gifts can be
purchased for him to distribute You

tion, as I proposed. but should be
legislative and not constitutional. He
also thought that the railroad COM
mission business then before the con-
vention should be constitutional, not
legislative. Everything In those days
was either constitutional or ~legislat-
I've and George Turner took his pick.
I do not want to say anything about
the pretensions OF my fellow towns
man 15 years ago. He a like a
good many others who sought to
dodge between the constitution and
between the legislature. We fought
together for the tide lands. In my
estimation the tide lands fight was
the biggest fight on principle which
came up before that constitutional
convention. According to George
Turner the railroad commission ques-
ton was then a subject for the legis-
lature.'
Judge J. 2. Moore ought to know
the fate of his suggestions to the
to remember what a man of his
delegation said in explanation Of his
vote. He ought to know whether
George Turner In those days vas a
turner or whether he was as lavish
in his distinguished ability and mas
terful logic" in those days as he Is
said to be in these days of the year
of the Lord, 1904.
In those days George Turner could
turn between the turns Of the exist
ing convention and the prospects of
future legislation on the railway
commission question. Records show
thai he did not pass his W railway
commission bill In 1897. when he was
elected to the United States senate.
Fol once he turned from the legislat-
i've to the constitutional. He will
probably turn again.
The specific enactments to which
Judge J. z. Moore referred are the
whether there was any distinguished
ability exercised In the lodging or
''masterful logic" in getting to the
conclusion that the people, the tax
paying people, would be benefited by
his lodging:
Against making 1t unlawful for
any public official to accept a pass.
Record of the proceedings Of the on
stitutional convention. page 315.
Judge Moore says that Turner was
for the matter to be left for legis-
lative enactment.
Against making 1t unlawful for any
railroad to give any public official a
pass. That was also subject matter
for legislation in the eyes Of Judge
Turner.
When George Turner was In su-
preme control of both branches Of the
legislature of the state of Washing
ton and got himself elected to the
United States senate. did he consider
whether he was making mincemeat
for the public out Of legislature or
constitutional convention?

I actually did do. My name has been

and what Mr.. Turner really accom-

of the minority-25 districts and rs

more than three Of the four nominat-
