Richmond, Ind, Aug. 2.-Edward c.
Reed, a machinist, was shot and killed
by Mrs. William J. Sincoke at her
home in this city. Mrs Sincoke is the
wife of a travelling salesman, and her
husband was out of the city at the
time of the shooting. She has not been
arrested the officers believing it to be
clear case of self-defense. Accord
ing to Mrs. Smokes version of the af-
fair she was alone with her aged ia
Their when about 10 p. III. she answered
call to the door and Reed entered.
She alleges that Reed caught her by
the throat and tried to put a handker-
chief in her mouth.
Mrs. Sincoke says she had taken the
precaution of having her revolver with
her, and when she was assaulted she
fred three times at her assailant. Two
of the shots took effect in Reeds
breast; the third missing him entered
the wall. Reed after being shot ran
about twenty-five feet before he top
pied over dead. Reed is 81 years old,
and is a married man living only a
few blocks from the Sincoke residence
According to Mrs. Smokes story,
which seems to be substantiated by
circumstances, Reed has been bother
ing her for some time.

Insanity Experts.

Probably there is no class of men
with such keenly developed perceptives
as the insanity experts. They can al
ways make certain that man is in
sane by looking at his pocketbook if
it is to be of some temporary advan-
tage for him to be so.
When the expert comes to furnish
ing authorities tbs books could not be
better if he could have written them
himself. He can find long, obscure
passages filed with the largest kind
of words, and all that he asks Of the
jury is to accept his conclusions with
out looking further, so that he may get
away and begin spending the money.
Furthermore, he is doubtless a busy
man, perhaps having to hurry away to
testify in a case at the other end Of

the opposite conclusions. Doubtless

Frankfort, Ind, Aug. .. = Charged
with having started the fire that prac-
tically wiped out the business section
of the town of Kirklin, one week ago,
Charles McCay, in whose place of BUSH
ness the blaze was first discovered, is
under arrest and is now a prisoner in
the Clinton county jail. The arrest
was made by Sheriff Haggard on in
formation furnished by ]. T. Quigley,
A. Y. Adams, Z. J. Bays and Miss
Bowman, of the Union Detective bu-
real, of indianapolis, engaged to work
on the case by the insurance companies
and the merchants whose property was
destroyed.
Had Agreed to Trade His Store.
McCay occupied a two-story brick
building, the first floor of which was
used as a grocery and the second as
a furniture store. The fire started
about the center of the building near a
| pile of mattresses, and the detectives
assert that they have strong circum-
stantial evidence that McCay fired the
building. McCay is about 80 years old,
married and has a family. He refused
to talk about his arrest. A few days
| before the fire it is asserted that he
made contract to trade his store and
building to a Jennings county man for
farm. Both men gave bond to carry
out the trade. The Jennings county
man placed his son in the store, and it
is said that McCay at once began dis
couraging the trade.
Insured for More Than Value.
Tuesday of last week the Jennings
county man reached Kirklin, ready to
carry out his part of the contract, and
that night the fire occurred. McCay
carried $500 insurance on the stock
and building, which, it is asserted, was
worth $4,000. John McCay, of Upton
county, father of the prisoner, arrived
here, but left soon after for Kokomo
to engage counsel for his son. 1t is
said that McCay will waive a prelim-
mary hearing.

When baby goes to Shut Eye town
In mothers arms she cuddles down
And with her little fists she tries
To keep the sand out of her eyes
Her tangled curls of dusky brown
About her neck are tumbled down,
And dimples from sly corners peep
When baby drops off into sleep.
When drowsy drums begin to beat,
Then tired grow the little feet.
And baby creeps to mothers breast
When sleepy winds blow from the west
Then softly on the pillows down
We lay the little curly crown
And gently smooth the dainty gown
