"HiHville.'
The two managers laughed solemnly at

Then each told the other he would be

They sat together on the trunk contain

why Taft Went West.

The criticisms of Secretary Taft for be-
Ing in Idaho at the crisis Of the exciting
campaign in that State do not take note
Of the fact that he had planned the trip
nearly five months ago. Fully two weeks
before Congress adjourned the Secretary
announced 10 several Members of the
Senate from the far West that he eX-
pected TO be in their States about the
middle Of October on tour of inspection
Of army posts II is recalled how this
announcement was at the time taken as
evidence that Mr.. Taft had made up his
mind TO decline the appointment 10 the
Supreme Court, which had been offered
him by the President and how, by the
same token. 1t excited in Senatorial cir
cles much speculation touching the Re
publican leadership in 1865 1t was we'll
understood then that while he was in the
West the Secretary would make several
political speeches. though IL is of possible
political significance that none Of the
Republican Senators whom he told OF his
intention 10 pass through OF visit their
States asked him to make u speech.

1t was about a year ago that Lulu
Mueller, of Cumminsville, and Alma
Steinigeweg, of Winton place, Cincin-
| lati, were murdered. Their deaths
took place within 80 days of each
other. May Mcdonald, of Cincinnati,
was killed about this same time.
1t has developed that DR.. Haugh was
in Cincinnati at that time and two
women who saw a man leaving the
| spot where the mutilated body Of Lulu
Mueller was found described him as
STOPPING. gray haired, shaking as II
! palsied and with a glaze in his eye.
| This description fits DR.. Haugh, as he
was on October ID, 1904, within a few
days of the girls death. On that date
Mrs. Mary Johnson, an old friend OF
the Haugh family, refused him admis-
sion to her Cincinnati lodging house
| because of his drug eating habits.
She especially noted his appearance.
The Cincinnati police are working
on the theory that Haugh may have
! knowledge of the murder of these
| three girls.
w. c. Parish a brakenpn on the
Baltimore & Ohio railway, was in DR..
Haughs rooming house in l,orain the
night of February 16, 1904. He be-
came i'll and Haugh gave him treat
ment. Then he began growing worse
and was taken to the hospital, where
he died.
81 gave him medicine" Haugh ex-
planned when an ambulance called for
him. But it doesn't seem to have
done any good"
The physicians thought Parish was
suffering with pneumonia and made no
| investigation.
DR.. Haugh advocated the painless
killing of all aged and infrm people
and those suffering from incurable dis
eases while he operated in Hamilton, o.
Before the Transformation.
1t is only five years ago that DR..
| Haugh was considered an authority in
the state of Ohio on the origin and
composition of drugs, and about his
laboratory there hung an air of mys-
terry and fascination for the people Of
Dayton, for he boastfully declared:
81 am at work on the evolution of
drug, which in its perfection, will Gre
ate a new era of science, new order
Of thought, and new race of beings.
l will bring into the reality of day
something more wonderful than
Stevenson in his widest dreams ever
imagined I will prove that which he
only suggested-the certainty that two
beings can exist in the one body, the
one blotting out the influence Of the
other"
In those days he had a pretty home
on the outskirts of the town presided
over by comely, confiding little wom-
an who was happy in the thought that
her husband was on the verge of
great discovery which would some day
startle the world of science.
