CIOFFRITTA SAYS
IA! IA! TO MARION
Leaves Thursday Night for
City of Chicago
Little Italian Found Life in, This
City Too Strenuous to
Suit Him.

Giuseppe Gioffritta's s social and
business relations with Marion and
Marionites have been dissolved and
that excatable little person has
faded from the public vision even
as beautiful dream. Giuseppe is
not here any more.
He had been in Marion but forty
days when he was arrested for the
murder of his brother. After be-
ing hastily indicted by "A special
grand jury and gwen trial by a
special petit jury, he was acquitted
and Thursday evening, he bid his
remaining brother Giovanni Giof-
fritta, a sad farewell and left for
Chicago.
Life in Marion was strenuous for
Giuseppe and he decided that the
game was hardly worth the candle
in this locality. 1t has been dark
ly limited that Giuseppe feared to
remain in town, but so far as can
be learned in. the local Italian col
ony, no threats were made against
his life, nor was he politely in
formed that it might be better for
him to go away for awhile. Guis-
|eppe, it is said, went on his own
initiative anr Marion will never
never see him again if he can help
| it,.
GDffritta's few belongings were
gathered together Thursday aftcn
he had spent the first night Of his
freedom with his brother, and he
left for the Windy City.
Which prompts the well-worn but
ever pathetic thought which the
country correspondent SO frequent
ly and touchingly utters, Marion 3
less Is Chicago's gain.

SHERM PECK
IS INDICTED
For Murder of Shad West.
brook at Cardington.
The FORMER MARIONITE
Eye Witness Says, Struck
Fatal Blow.
Present Prisoner Makes the Fourth
Man Who Has Been Arrested
Charged with the Murder.

Sherman Peck, formerly of this
city, who is at the present time in
the Mt. Gilead jail awaiting trial on
charge of arson. was Thursday in
dicted by the grand jury for the
murder of Shad Westbrook, the Ash
ley farmer, which took place at
Cardington on the night of Marcn
II, 1904.
Peck, who Is very well known
here, was brought before the grand
jury, as a result of the confession
made by Jerry Williams, who is
serving a sentence, for stealing
chickens, in the Columbus work.
house. Williams swears that he saw
Sherman Peck strike the blow that
killed Westbrook.
This statement is substantiated by
Herbert Glenn, Of Cardington, who
claims that he was an eyewitness TO
the deed which occurred in front Of
Hugh Lessie's saloon.
1t is understood that according to
the story of Williams, Peck struck
the blow with a blunt instrument,
Intending to knock his victim un-
conscious so that he could secure
Westbrook money, which was
thought to amount to $4,000, but
which 1t was later learned amounted
to $40.
1t is said that when it was seen
| that the man was In a critical con-
dition, he was hurriedly carried
into Bolyards apartments, arrest
ed recently for the crime. Lou Boil
yard and his wife at the preliminary
hearing were released and returned
to their home at Chicago Junction.
The arrest of Peck makes the
fourth person who has been arrest
ed and charged with the murder. and
then released. At the time Of the
arrest of James Cackler, of Ashley,
Peck was named as an accomplice,
but had very little trouble at that
time in keeping from being sus-
pected as the real murderer. In
short many believe that the MUIR
derer of Shad Westbrook will never
be found.
The same sort of assertions were
made at the time of the murder
with the object of making trouble
for the detectives who were working
on the case. Arrests followed, and
when on trial. the men who were
instrumental in causing the arrests
would swear they never made such
statements.
II TO people familiar with the case
1t is thought that regular gang oI
bad men were mixed up in the af
fair and to shield the real murderer
these affidayits have. been sworn Il
for the desired purpose OF dray
the attention OF the officials ava.
from the guilty one. AS to the iroI
sling shot, alleged. to have been II
the possession OF Peck after tn,
murder, an iron bar was found q
the time the deed was committed
that also exactly fitted the wound Il

AMOS OWENS
IS ENDORSED
For Re- appointment as
Deputy U. S. Marshal.
THE POST OFFICE FIGHT
At Prospect Wages Warn
With Five Applicants.
Matter will be Settled at the Meet.
ing Of Republican Executive
Committee Next Week

An interesting meeting s.of the
Republican Executive committee
was held Thursday evening and
considerable business transacted of
a financial character. The commit
tee endorsed the candidacy Of
Amos Owens Of this city for re-
appointment as Deputy United
States Marshal and also that Of l..
Il. Myers for position on the
board of deputy state supervisors
of elections.
However, the ono really import
ant matter which was to have been
disposed of was the postoffice
fight in Prospect, and this was
carried over for week. 1t will be
definitely settled at meeting
next Thursday or Friday night,
WHO gets the committees endorse
ment for the Prospect plum which
pays $1,000 a year.
There are five aspirants for the
endorsement thus far. John Rob-
erts, the present postmaster who
has held the job for twelve years,
according to the sentiment express
ed by postmaster general Cortelyou
seems to have the inside track, as
the postmaster general and Presid-
ent Roosevelt have both indicated
their desire tliit all competent
postmastcrs be rcappointed. And
il is not charged that Mr.. Roberts
has been incompetent.
Austin Mayfield, Pearl Sells,
Robert Lafever and Albert Johns
ton are also aspirants and all
have friends on the Republican
executive committee. The contest
has proven a source of much trcu-
BILE and worry 10 the committee,
and in view Of the fact that its rec
ommendation may not carry much
weight in any event, Il is thought
better to dispose OF the matter at
the next meeting. The present in
cumbents term does not expire un-
til next March.
From Prospect comes the word
that nearly every business man of
the village has sent a personal let
ter to Washington asking for the
re-appointment Of Mr.. Roberts.

MEDINA FARMER MUST ANSWER

Deputy United States Marshal Nc
Kay arrested G. B. Zinck at Medina on
a charge of sending obscene literature
through the mails. The defendant was
arraigned before United States Com

The warrant for Zinck's arrest was
issued on complaint of Karl Hellius of
Medina, charging him with the crime
of sending obscene literature through

Carr, but as it seemed to be matter

THE PROPER LAND POLICY.

The question of the administration
of the public land laws is one that
must inevitably result in much differ
enee of opinion, especially where the
interests of those who would control
large tracts of the public domain
come into conflict with the interests
of those who would settle upon mod.
crate tracts of the government land
and bnild homes. ~.
The public domain was intended
fy the makers of our public land
laws for the benefit of the whole
people, and was intended also to be
divided up into tracts large enough
to AFFORD a comfortable living and
small enough to prevent the gobbling
of great areas for selfish interests.
Doubtless there is much land in the
west that is best fitted for grazing
purposes that, under present condi-
tions is not suited to agriculture.
This does not mean, however, that
the administration of the land laws
should be such that immense areas
should pass into private ownership,
TO the exclusion of settlement at a
future time when it may be made
susceptible OF cultivation. @
We do not want an administration
OF the land laws which shall retard
actual settlement by imposing tech
meal requirements, but a system
which shall provide homes for set
Tiers in good faith and that shall
preserve grazing lands to the gov
eminent, for division ultimately,
should conditions warrant it.
i President Roosevelt's theory is
that fhe land is for the people and
must he preserved to them in the
way that shall be Of the greatest ben
sefit. This is the right theory and
the one that should inspire the adj
ADMINISTRATION Of the land laws, and
EMe complaints of those who desire
to accumulate large areas for selfish
purposes will not meet with a favor
able public hearing. At the same
time. all public land cannot be treat
ed as of the same quality and there
sfsunad be liberal spirit in provid-
Hng that it may be best used for the
interest of the people. }

out shedding tear and without the
slightest evidence Of emotion, Mrs.
Mcclure, wife of George Mcclure,
who is on trial in the district court
for the murder of his hired man,
Elmer Lefis, went on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon and re
lated the story of her alleged rela-
tons with her husbands victim.
She testified that Lewis came as
friend of the family from Illinois
to work for them last fall He was
cook by trade, six feet two inches
tall, light completed, with dark hair,
% years of age, weighing 200 pounds

kitchen and from that on they free.
~ kissed and caressed each other,
sitting on each others laps and gem
orally acting like lovers, although
she strenuously denies that she ev-
er had carnal relations with Lewis. I.
The Saturday before the murder
she went with Lewis to a dance
against her husbands will and at
that time they planned to elope this
fall, taking all the money. they could
get from Mcclure and the two young
est children. The husband grew sus-
picious and caught them at last, the
evening before the shooting, she was
sitting on his. zap. their arms about
each other, and exchanging score
or more of kisses. He ordered Lewis
away, and he refused to go, and said
that if he went he would take Mrs.
Mcclure. He finally went away for
the night, vowing he would come in
the morning for her. She declared
she would go with him if her hus-
band did not allow lin to stay in

She confessed to her relations with
Lewis. Her husband was half crazed
with grief and trouble and did not
eat or sleep that night. During the
night Mrs. Mcclure repeated Lewis
name In her sleep and when awak-
ened confessed that she loved him
more than all else on earth and com
fessed the plan of elopment. Her
husband begged her to consider her
children and prayed to God to deliver
him from his trouble. She promised
to try and give up Lewis, but feared
she could not. She did not know her
