TRIAL IN September

Grand Jury.

Last night in the presence Of
Chief Of Police Rimbach. Albert Nor

notary public. Hammer admitted
that he killed Jack Lenning in cold
blood near the Wabash tracks at Toll
lesion.
This morning he was given a hear
ing before Judge Jordan and after
lengthy review of the evidence
Hammer was bound over to the cir
cult court at Crown Point where
the trial will be held some time
in September.
All during the hearing this morn
ing Hammer sat with as much COM
posure as though he was only facing
the charge of drunkenness instead of
murder in the first degree with the
hangman's moose around his neck
as a possibility.
The confessed murderer is of a
low order of intelligence, with a
small head, low brow and APPARENT
ly not enough grey matter under his
head of coarse black hair to enable
him to realize the horror of his
crime and the consequences that will
follow

The Murderer's Story.

The story of the crime as told in
his confession is as follows: Il left
Tolleston about noon. After | had
crossed the Wabash tracks and gone
short distance l saw Lenning ly-
ing along the side of the road He
had little black dog with him and
said That's nice dog you have
there. He answered, That's a nice
pup you have | then went down
the road little ways and Lenning
dog followed me. Lenning yelled
to me, You -, are
you going to steal my dog I walked
on and paid no attention to Lenning,
when he got UP and ran after me.

going to steal my dog
HE followed me a hundred yards
and was within a few feet of me
when | pulled my revolver and shot
him in the head. When Lenning
dropped to the ground I walked up
to him and fired another shot into
his neck.
4 had been drinking and after
the shots had been fired I went into
the woods near Gary and slept off
my drunk Later l went to my tent
in Gary where l was captured by the
police"

count for the fact that his victims
pockets were turned wrong side out,
nor does he give the reason for find
ing it necessary to shoot twice at G

! ed him names.
If the murder was committed
while Hammer was under the infu-
ence of liquor. and if it can be proven
that the murder was not premeditat-
ed, the penalty will be life imprison-
ment If it is proven that Hammer
left the saloon with murder in his
heart and lay in wait for his victim
the crime will be murder in the first
degree and the penalty under the
Indiana law is death.

TO SPEAK HERE TONIGHT
MISS RICHARDSON, AUTHOR OF
 1.-THE LONG DAK.u

 Annual Meeting of the Lowell House
 Association at the United Church
 Chapel.
 Miss Dorothy Richardson. the sud- denly famous young author of "The Long Day." will arrive in New Haven this afternoon at 1 o'clock and will be entertained during her stay by MT. and Mrs. Frank Chamberlain Porter, of Bradley street.
 Mrs Henry Wade Rogers will be her hostess for luncheon, and at 43O Mrs. Porter will give a tea in her honor, to which members of the Lowell House council and a few friends specially in- terested in factory work have been bid den.
 Mrs. Porter has also invited few friends to dinner tonight to meet Miss Richardson The talented young au- thor will speak at the annual meeting of the Lowell House council at eight o'clock this evening in United church chapel.
 Tomorrow morning she will be taken through the college buildings and will return to New York at noon.
 Miss Richardsons book, The Long Day. made an immediate sensation of most wholesome character. It directed attention to a crying social need, while at the same time it brought to light new and gifted writer Miss Richard son had the advantage of doing her book from necessity through the terri ble hardships of the sweatshop exist ence. She did not visit" the shops for literary purposes. She came to New York without friends, influence or mon- ey because there was a "neW-made grave on a wind-sWept hill in western Pennsylvania"
 However, at the end of her three years terrible battle for life in the fac tory slums her help came from work ing girl or perhaps a girl rather nearer the professional lines who nursed her back to health and found for her an opening to more profitable and more congenial work Then, by great pa tience, pluck and perseverance, she learned how to work and when 'The Long Day. was finally suggested by a New York editor she was earning $20 a | week as stenographer.
 As to "The Long Day" the Washing ton Star calls it one of the really sig nificant books on modern social prob lems," and many other papers give it high praise. T would rather have written The Long Day than Uncle Toms Cabin, declares Miss Gertrude Barnum, national secretary of the Women's Trade Union league; and Jack London, writing in the San Francisco Examiner, says that it should be read by every man, woman and child who cherishes the belief that he or she is not a selfish clod." p9
 There will no doubt be a large audi ence to greet Miss Richardson and hear her message tonight.
