sAIp TO HAVE BEEN INFLICTED
BY PRINCIPAL ELMER scbEu
Physician who Attended the Boy says.
He Was Badly Bruised and
injured internally. gees
THE STATEMENT OF YOUNG ROSS
Says the Principal Threw Him on the
Floor, Put His Knee on Breast
and Bumped Him.

Archie Ross, the 11-year-old son OF
Mrs. Ida Ross, who resides at the cor
ner Of Mahoning and Second streets,
and who is alleged to have been
severely whipped. Wednesday morning,
by Elmer Scheu, principal Of the Hart
ford street school, has not yet resumed
his school duties.
The fact that suit was filed in Jua-
tice Barrick's court against the princf-
pal was noted exclusively in the Morn
ing News at the time.
A local physician, not wishing his
name mentioned, made the following
statements to representative Of the
News Friday afternoon: THE lad was
used up somewhat badly. He was
bruised about the back, neck and
shoulders. A blow over the mouth
caused the lower lip to swell up consid-'
erably. The left side of his face and
the back OF the head give evidence Of
rough treatment. The boy, who COM
plains Of pain in the head and breast,
was slightly hurt internally"
The News representative, upon inter-
viewing an older brother upon the
steps Of the residence, was invited to
step in and see the boy, who was found
lying upon couch. He gave the fol-
lowing story: "At recess we we're play
ing, when one of the boys kicked me on
the knee, over which a little trouble
arose, but no blows were struck. Mr..
Scheu came out and called me. went
toward him and while walking with
my back to the boys some one hit me
in the back. Upon reaching Mr.. Scheu,
after looking around a moment, he
struck me In the face, nearly knocking
me of my feet. He then led me to his
room, where he grabbed me- by the
coat and threw me upon the floor. Then
he placed his knee upon my breast,
taking my head between his hands,
and bumped 1t upon the floor, accom-
panied with slaps on one side Of the
face, then upon the other. He then
took me to the basement and made me
wash the blood from my lips, after
which was taken to my room. Recess
was over by this time, and all Of the
pupils were In their seats. After TAX
ing mine, my teacher, upon seeing me
crying, came to me. told her what
had happened, and, after seeing Prof.
Scheu, was given permission to go
home"
The boy has not been out since the
alleged assault, and lies down most OF
the time. He complains Of a pain In
the head and through the breast.

plaintiff the letters, In the. hands OF
Werts and Sterling the LISTERS were 30
manipulated that in the minds OF
many, they reverted to the interests Of
the plaintiff. ~
During some Of the narrowing scenes
Of the trial, Capt Taggart frequently
gave vent to his emotions, Tears often
coursed down his cheeks as he told the
story Of his alleged wrongs and reclted
the details of his incarceration as q
military prisoner In the Fort Leaven-
worth hospital and his separation from
his children. This was not the case
with Mrs. Taggart. Not until the last
day Of the trial did she exhibit SO
much as the trembling Of an eyelash.
During the long days of the trial,
which she constantly attended, her
face was as rigid as marble. Upon the
witness stand her attitude was stole
like in its indifference to some of the
astounding questions which che was
obliged to answer. She made an em-
phatic denial to every question which
implicated her as person Unfit TO be
vile ana mOtner. rt+2t
The question OF alimony had been
entirely out of the case. Both were
we'll able to support the children, and
each would scorn the others proffer
of financial aid.
The Taggart boys are possessed In
their own right Of a dover amounting
to 10000, which they inherit from
their foster grandfather, William Gull
yer, formerly prominent member Of
the Chicago board of trade. Mrs. Tag.
gart was the adopted daughter OF Gull
yer, and in her youth was Graded in
the lap of luxury. Her own father,
John Manville, Of the same city, was
an interested listener during his daugh-
ter's arraignment and has been pres
ent with her in Wooster since the trial
closed.
Capt. Taggart was born at Orrville
O., and entered West Point when he
was about 20 years old. He received
bis appointment to the military acad-
emy from the late President Mckinley,
who was then congressman from his
district. The captain has been a pop
ular man, both in the army and espe-
cially In Wayne county, o., where near
ly every man is hissfriend. He is ag-
gressively inclined and has been sew
eral times breveted for bravery as an
officer.
Evidence Of the recklessnees Of Capt.
Taggart and his wife while they we're
at the various army posts formed the
most sensational features Of the trial,
and the rumor that Capt. Taggart and
several other officers would be obliged
to face military court of inquiry in
the event the decision of Judge Eason
was against the officer, has been wide
ly circulated.

Chicago Oct. 13.--oficials of the
Western Life Indemnity company
threw wide open today every avenue
TO information concerning the past
acts Of the directors, and announced

lowing Judge Kohlsaat's decision ac-
tion would be brought against the de-
tractors of the company. Evidence has
been collected by detectives and
charges are being prepared against
men who have been especially active
In attacks on President Moulton and

The Gray contract, made public to.
day, was entered into between the d.
