TESTIFIED IN HIS
own BEHALF
JAMES GILLESPIE ON STAND AT
RISING SUN
TELLS STORY OF ACTIONS
On the Night of the Assassination of
His Sister-Denies That He
Fired Shot.
TELLS STORY OF ACTIONS

Rising Sun, Ind, December 30
James Gillespie, charged with the
murder of his twin sister, Elizabeth,
which occurred upon the night of
December 8, 1903, as she was pre-
pairing to entertain the Women's
Literary Club at her home, took the
stand tHis morning to testify in his
own behalf.
There was some conjecture as to
the possibility of Gillespie going upon
the witness stand, as the defense was
much disconnected at the outcome Of
Dr.. William Gillespie, brother of
James Gillespie, conducted by Sena-
tor Kittinger, Of Anderson, yester-
day.
Gillespie walked to the stand with
firm step, his face was very pale and
his steel gray eyes glanced furitively
at the faces of the jurors as though
he Nished to read their inmost
thou khts. He denied that he shot his
sister, He said that he was in an
outhanse in the rear of Belle Sew
ard home when the shot was fired.
He thought the. shot was an explosion,
he said, and the sound seemed to
come from, the direction of the river.
The examination of Gillespie was
intes.upted by the Judge allowing
one Of the Jurors to visit a dentist
for the purpose Of having a tooth
extracted. Juror Schroeder claimed
that the pain was so intense that he
was unable to listen to the evidence
The remainder Of the jury was taken
to the jury room and the attorneys
for both the State and the defense
spent the remainder of the forenoon
in arguing the admissibility of Ger
tain evidence Of James Corson, coun-
ty auditor, who says that he heard
Myron Barbour say to Earl Seward
on the night of the murder: "He
ought not to have shot; he ought moi
to have shot, for old grandma =
sake.'
Myron Barbour is said to have tolC
Mr.. Perkins. cashier of the nationa
bank, where Barbour was fOrmerl,
employed, that James Gillespie killed
his sister, Elizabeth. Mr.. Perkins
advised Barbour to tell all he knew
and he (Barbour) said he was afraiC

STRANGE CASE
Centerville Boy Declared of Unsound
Mind.

Horace Henderson, twelve years of
age, son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Henderson, of Centerville, has been
declared of unsound mind by a COM
mission consisting of Drs. Gable.
Fouts and Young. The commission
met at the office of Squire Harvey in
Centerville on Thursday. 1t has not
Vet been decided whether the unfor-
tunate boy will be removed to Fort
Wayne or sent to Easthaven. There
is no age limit for the patients at
Easthaven. but the Feeble Minded
School at Fort Wayne is much better
adapted to taking care of the chill
dren than is the local hospital The
youngest person confined at Easthav-
en- at the present time is sixteen
years of age. The child's case is a
very pathetic one Until one year
ago the boy was considered to be
bright in his school work and was
always well physically. About a
year ago he had his first attack. He
desired to attend his school without
shoes or stockings when the snow was
on the ground. His parents restrain
ed him and after a month or so he be-
came perfectly rational until a few
months ago. He now imagines that
he is clown in a circus and Other
hallucinations. For the last few
days he has been living the campaign

ANNIVERSARY OF
IR0QU0IS FIRE
ONE YEAR AGO THE BIG FIRE
OCCURRED
SERVICES WERE HELD
In the Women's Temple in Chicago
in Memory of Those Whose Lives
| Were Lost.
SERVICES WERE HELD

One year ago last evening the cit
liens of Richmond were shocked to
hear the news that the magnificent
Iroquois Theater, Of Chicago, had
been burned and that 600 persons had
lost their lives. Considerable excite
ment was caused here on account of
so many local persons being in Chi
cago at the time and they thought
that perhaps some of them had per-
ished, caused much anguish in a num-
Der of homes in this city until it was
learned that the loved ones were
safe. Yesterday the Iroquois Me-
mortal Association held memorial
services at the Women's Temple in
Chicago in memory of those whose
lives were lost in the great catastro-
phe. Speeches were made by a num-
Der of prominent people and mes
sages were, received from all over the
United States from persons who lost
relatives and friends in the fire.
While the memorial exercises were
being held a vaudeville performance
was being given in the Iroquois The
ater, which is now vaudeville house.
One year ago yesterday where hun
dreds of little girls perished a man
appeared before a handful of people
and sang Goodbye Little Girl
Goodbye. The place where Eddie
Foy had stood one year ago in his
comical makeup and tried to quiet
the people was occupied yesterday by
a troupe of performing monkeys. II
must have been very hard task fol
the performers yesterday to go or
with their parts in a place which {
year before solemn death had beer
the star and occupied the entire
stage. It was not the fault of thu
performers that they gave their act'
as they were under contract and t.
break the contracts would mean ;
great deal TO the majority of them.

SKATING
Capacity of the Coliseum Floor Test
ed Last Night.

The capacity of the floor of the
Coliseum was tested last evening,
when over three hundred persons all
of whom wore roller skates were on
the floor at one time. Manager Hen
ley was in a dilemma to know just
what to do with all of the people.
They started coming early in the ev-
ening and it was not long until per-
feet swarm of them were standing
about Charley Henley in an effort to
get skates. The supply of skates was
soon exhausted and the unlucky ones
were forced to find seats and watch
their more fortunate friends glide
over the pumiced floor. In several
instances where one member of a
party had been able to obtain a pair
of skates the skates We're transferred
from one person to another so that
all of them had a chance.

HANLY FAVORS
new HOSPITAL
THINKS ADDITIONAL INSTITU-
TON FOR INSANE IS NEEDED
SOUTHEASTERN HOSPITAL
Will Be the Name of the New Insit-
tuition if it is Built-No Definite
Location Decided Upon.

If the present plans of the legisla-
tive investigating committee and
those Of Governor-elect Hanly are
carried out a new hospital for the
insane will soon be built in the south
eastern section of this State The
exact location has not been settled
upon as yet, but number Of cities
are working hard to get the institu-
ton. If the new hospital is built
it will be called the Southeastern
Hospital for the Insane. The build
ing of a new hospital will in great
way relieve the congestion which
the majority Of the hospitals now
have. All of them are at the present
time overcrowded and there is no ap-
parent remedy for it. 1t is the in
tention when the new hospital is built
to have fifteen counties which now
send patients to the Central Hospital
to send them to the new one. -Four
counties will be taken off of the
Northern and three from the Eastern
which is located near Richmond.
Just which counties these will be is
not at the present time known. The
patients from these different coun-
ties who are now confined in the old
hospitals will be removed. Just what
amount will be appropriated for the
new hospital is not known, but it is
very probable that the new one will
be as large as any of the others and
will be built with the fastest and
most modern convenience for the care
of the insane. GovernOr-elect Hanly
in speaking Of the new hospital said
"I believe that the plan, to meet
the actual needs of the State, should
include the building of a new hospit-
al for the insane, that there should be
an institution for the treatment OF
epileptics. and that the beginning OF
both should be provided for by the
incoming Legislature.
This statement from the chief ex.
ecutive of the State practically set
ties the question.
The legislative investigating com
mittee. too, has suddenly discovered
that it has nothing to do with tn,
question of erecting an epileptic hos
pital. that the law creating it pro
vides that the committee shall inves
tigate the affairs of the "existing'
institutions, and as there is no epl
leptic institution "existing' the com
mittee has nothing to do with it. no
even the making of a recommends
ton as to the amount of money tha
ought to be appropriated. The othe
committee, of which Senator New
house is chairman, favors the plal
outlined by Mr.. Hanly, and will max
a report in accordance with it. TIL
two committees will have anothe
meeting and will also have anothe
talk with Mr.. Hanly. 1t is though
that the plain suggested by Mr.. Han
ly will be agreed on.

CLAIMS TO HAVE
seen TRAGEDY
ANOTHER WHO CLAIMS TO BE
AN EYE WITNESS
TO THE AWFUL ACT
May Irwin. Actress. Offered to Fur
nish Bail in Most Any Sum
Required.

New York, December 30.-Another
man who says he witnessed the tragic
death of Caesar Young, the book
maker, with whose murder Nan Pat
terson is charged, has been found in
Jacksonville, Fla, according TO in~
formation received in this city to-
day. The alleged witness is w. B.
Meyers, who is said to be wealthy
naval stores dealer in Jacksonville.
According to the story which came
here today in a letter from Judge Fl.
ID. Twiggs, Of Savannah, Ga, TO the
counsel for the prisoner, Meyers
claims to have seen the tragedy in
the cab and declares that Young fired
the shot which ended his life.
Judge Twiggs writes that Meyers
came to him for consultation in a
legal matter soon after the Young
tragedy, and casually mentioned that,
while in New York few DAYS be-
fore, he had witnessed a most re-
markable affair. In reply to ques-
tions. Judge Twiggs writes, Meyers
said he had seen a man shoot him
self in cab, giving at the same time
the exact location of the spot where.
the Patterson Young affair took place
and that he had learned that the
mans name was Young, but beyond
that he knew nothing. When informs
ed that Nan Patterson had been ar
rested, charged with the murder of
Young, Judge Twiggs says, Meyers
declared that he knew the girl to be
fnnocent, and said that he would
send his name and that he would GO
to New York to testify if she were
put On trial.
Miss Patterson has been in the
Tombs since the day Young was
killed, early last June, she having
failed to secure bail prior to her trial,
which resulted in a disagreement of
the jury. Tt is not believed that the
next trial will begin within three
months at the earliest, and unless the
girl is released on bail, which has
been offered by three wealthy men of
Fairmount. w. Va, she will be
obliged to remain there.
May Irwin, the actress, has offered
to furnish bail in any amount up to
$4,000 for the release of Nan Pat
terson from the Tombs, according to
an announcement made by Miss Pat
terson's counsel. Miss Irwin called
personally at the Tombs prison today
and left letter addressed to the
former show girl and the announce.
ment followed a few minutes after
Miss Irwin went away. When Dis 1ict
Attorney Jerome's attention wa.
called to the offer of bail he said
he had no statement to make and wa.
not prepared to say what course tn,
prosecution would take. Miss Patter
sons bail before the recent mis-tria
was $4,000, but after the jury's dis
agreement she was remanded withou

Fusan, December 30-Rihlung fort,
captured yesterday, is the largest and
strongest Of the eastern fort ridge.
Tunnels for mines were cut through
solid rock and two tons of dynamite
were used to blow up the walls.
The spectacle was magnificent and
the work Of the assault was splendid.
Half the garrison was killed by the

Toxic, December 30.-Admiral To-
60 and Vice-Admiral Kamimura,
with their staffs, arrived at the Shin
bassi station at 9:20 o'clock today.
Their journey from Kure to Toxic
was a continuous ovation. At an
early hour today the streets were
filled and the city was gayly decorat-
ed with flags, lanterns and New
Years decorations. Representatives
of the emperor and empress, Prince
Fushimi, Jr., older statesmen, min
listers, prominent japanese and thou
sands of school children greeted the
arrival Of the naval heroes at the sta
tion. The presidents of both houses
Of the Diet presented them with the

forced to push the crowd backward
in an endeavor to clear the reaching
hands. Finally, Admiral Togo and

The Coming Re.Union.

Arrangements for the Old Settlers
meeting at Spicer on June II are pro-
gressing, and the full program will be
announced next week. The orator OF
the day will be DR.. J. S. Carlson OF
the MINES ota University, one of the
best speakers in the state. Short
speeches on several subjects will be
made by local men. It is not the in
tention, however, to make very long
program, as the comm ;ttee believes
that the old settlers will enjoy more
the opportunity to get together and
have a good social time with old
friends from pioneer days.
The Spicer people announce tha,
they will furnish the substantial vi.
ands for picnic dinner, and also tx
up tables for the same. Meats, pota.
toes, baked beans, bread and coffee
will be supplied. Visitors desiring to
bring along any dessert delicacies for
themselves and friends are invited to
do so.
A local committee in Spicer is max.
ing preparations for entertaining the
guests with various sports, among
the m being q baseball game. Par
ticulars in this regard will be given
as soon as arrangements have beer
completed.
