Indiana for Judge Parker.

Indianapolis, May 12.-The most in
teresting Democratic State Convention
since 1892, when Cleveland and Isaac
P. Gray contested for the control of
the Indiana delegation to the National
Convention, was held today. The
sole purpose of the Convention was to
elect delegates to the Nationa! Con
veation, the State Convention, for
the nominal ton of candidates for State
officers, having been called for July
20, when the same delegates that
we're in the Convention today will
return. A platform will then be
adopted.
The feeling of the delegates was
intense when the Convention opened
today. The Hearst followers had been
wrought to high pitch of determina-
tion by rousing addresses beforehand
at the Claypool Hotel assembly room
by the Rev. Sam Small, of Georgia,
and G. A. Windle, of Chicago. The
Rev. Sam Small advised against vot-
ing for Parker if he we're nominated.
The Convention instructed the
thirty delegates to the National Con-
vention to vote as unit for Judge
Parker, of New York, for President,
and endorsed Thos. Taggart for ma
tional committeeman, and recon-
mended him to the national COM
mittee as it's chairman. =
A feature of thes Convention was the
demonstration that followed the men
tion of the name Of Mayor George B1
Mcclellan, of New York. The cheer
ing lasted for several minutes, sew

ALLEGED NEW CLUE.
Finding of Flesh May Have Bearing
on Mystery.

Athol, Mass, Aug. 29.-The acct
dental discovery of ii piece of flesh in
the saWduSt pile at the Southland saw
mills by a little girl. and the subse-
quent finding of another bit of flesh
! four inches square by detectives, has
| furnished a new clue to the supposed
| murder of Frank j. Burns. the Wor-
ceSter jeWelry salesman, who diSap-
appeared on the night of Dec. II last.
ON the night of his disappearance.
Burns. in the company of Walter T..
Smith. drove to the vicinity of the
Southland mill with the expectation
of disposing Of jewelry to the men en-
ployed there. SO far as known Smith
was the last one to see Burns alive.
Smith was arrested in Boston. June
2S, charged with the larceny of jew
elry from Burns, and at that time
property supposed to belong to the
jewelry firm represented by Burns was
found on the prisoner. At the time
Smith said that by agreement he left
Burns near the saw mill and afterward
by accident discovered grip formerly
carried by Burns and containing jew
elry. Smith was later indicted for
| cester Jail for trial.
While playing in a sawd,Ist pile, Ethel
Richards discovered n piece of flesh to
which she called the attention of her
father. The matter was reported to the
police and state detective, p F. Muir
ray. came here. today, and instituted Il
systematic search of the sawdust pile
His investigation resulted in the discov-
cry of piece of flesh about four inches
square near where the little girl had
/ found the first piece. The two pieces of
flesh were turned over to Medical Exam
liner Oliver, who was inclined to believe
that they had formed a part of a human
thigh. TIL" flesh will be submitted to an
expert to determine whether it Is human.
Detective Murray with Deputy Sheriff
Goddard and Chief Of Police Jacques de-
voted two hours to an examination of the
Sawdust pile. but it is understood that
they have not concluded their search at
this point
Sometime ago the police became CON
WINGED that Burns had been murdered
and they spent much time in an effort to
locate his remains. Several promising
clews have been run down but the acct
dental discovery of the flesh was the first
tangible clew to the possible disposition
of the body.
