DIES ON GALLONS
RICHARD c. IvENs HANGED IN cHI-
 CAGO.
Murderer of Mrs. Bessie HolIister-- Story of Crime Which Shocked the Windy City and Arous-
 ed Intense Indignation.

Chicago, June 22-Richard C. Ivens was hanged here today for the murder of Mrs Bessie Collister
 The murder occurred on the evening of January l. Mrs. Bessie Hollister was the wife of Franklin c. Hollister. the head of the large printing estab- lishmnnt of Hollister Brothers. She was handsome woman and prominent In church and social circles. She left her home on the morning of January 12 with the intention of carrying some flowers to tho funeral of a friend. She purchased the flowers and performed some errands near her home, but did not appear at the funeral nor was she again seen alive by anybody.
 The morning of January IS, Richard Ivens, who lived in the vicinity of the woman's home. told his father that the body of a woman was lying on a pile of refuse in the rear of their barn. The clothing of the victim was torn and disarranged, and she had evidently made a desperate light before being overcome. Around her neck was twi1t- ed a slender copper wire and marks of pressure were visible on other parts of the throat She had evidently been strangled to death after being mall treated in the most vicious manner
 The conduct of Ivens aroused the sus- picion of the police and he was arrest ed. Three hours a;terward he confess ed the crime, The confession he later repeated at the inquest He went into the shocking details in cold blooded fashion that aroused intense popular indignation. At the trial Ivens denied his guilt and said he had been forced to confess by the police Ills defense was an alibi and the claim that he had made the confessions under hypnotic suggestion.
 Application 70 the Supreme Court and to the Governor and Board Of Par dons for stay of proceedings was in vain.
 The condemned man, until he stood on the drop, faced death in the same toiid manner in which he has conduct ed himself since his arrest. when he stepped upon the scaffold, however. much of his courage failed him. Just before the cap was drawn over his face, he attempted to utter a prayer, but although his lips moved convul- sively, his voice would not respond. and he was not able to utter a sound. It was evident that he was on the verge of a complete collapse and the sheriff hastened the last details as much as possible in order to avoid such a contingency.
 Just prior to the execution, the aged father of Ivens called at the jail and asked to see his son for the last time. His request was refused by the guards and the father made quite a scene as he tearfully begged to see his young son once more. It was necessary to lead him from the building. An aged woman who made her appearance at about this time. insisted that the con- demned man was about to hang un- justly as her own son had confessed to her that he, and not Ivens, was the actual criminal. She was detained pending an inquiry into her sanity.

BIG TURF SCANDAL
MAY Be DEVELOPED
VetennarieS Swear Go Be-
tween Full Pledged Stallion
and Trouble Follows.
LOOKS BAD FOR SHIELDS
Stewards Want to Know Why He En-
tered Suburban Winner as Gelding.
Others Questioned.

NEW YORK, July 3-Go Between. the
winner of the Suburban Handicap. is a
full fedged stallion.
This fact was determined yesterday
by three veterinary surgeons. who made
a thorough examination of the son or
Meddier-Indigo. and so reported to the
stewards of the Coney Island Jockey
Club. The vets bore out the positive
statement to this effect made the other
day by John F. Madden, whose partner.
r r. Hitchcock. protested Go Between ;
victory in consequence. The stewards
denied this protest because of the fact
that IN the official entry blank no de-
scription of Go Between's sex had been
made but IL seems that the stewards
did not stop there, for they are now
carrying on a thorough investigation
Shields on Rack.
Aleck Shields. the owner Of Go Be
tween, was called before them during
the races yesterday and asked to eX~
plain how ii was that although he had
had Go Between in his barn since last
June he had either concealed the fact
that the son of Afeddler- was not a geld
ing as represented or had been in total
ignorance of the facts.
IF Shields did not know that Go Be
tween was a geldtng,' said well-known
horseman the stewards may decide
that he is not a nj man TO race horses
on the Jockey Club circuit. But -
Shields knew all along that he had q
stallion and yet raced him as a Seldlng,
he was guilty OF Canadian trickeTy,
which is not relished IN this part or the
country
Others Questioned.
The stewards also questioned Frank
Brown, Charles F. Fox. and W. A. Nc
Nulty, all of whom at different times
either owned or trained Go Between
and allowed him TO masquerade as
gelding. The veterinarians who exam t,l-
ined Go Between yesterday said that
there could be no room Tor doubt about
him. that he was a fully developed
stallion and that he had not even been
operated upon
upon Shields. Brown, and McNulty.
Fox was simply the owner Of the horse
and probably did not care what he was
so long as he won. But the others, Il
is believed, were COgnlZant OF the real
facts, yet tried TO get shade the best
Of IL with the three pounds allowance.
Credit to Madden.
II Shields is guilty OF trtckery he has
kept his secret well. He has refrained
from running Go Between in selling
races tnlS year. however, pTondDIy De-
cause he feared ultimate exposure. To
John E Madden belongs the credit for
making this discovery, while the facts.
as now disclosed show that Mr.. Hitch
cock was justified IN fling a protest in
the interest Of clean sport and fair
play. Just what action the stewards OF
the Coney Island Jockey Club will take
remains 10 be seen. They may refer
the whole case TO the Jockey Club. and
IL is just possible that the entry OF Go
Between will be refused at all of the
Eastern tracks so long as he remains
the property Of Shields.
