The crime of which the Howell and
Sears women were found guilty was
committed on the afternoon of Sept 8
in tent in the red light district of
Gary. Gus Kohler. a structural iron
worker, accompanied the Howell wo-
man into a room in the tent, a mus
lin partition dividing the tent into two
rooms. Kohler incautiously left his
coat on chair in the compartment
where the Sears woman was. In Koh-
ler's coat was a pocketbook contain
ing SIS. During his absence $50 of the
money disappeared. Kohler charged
the Sears woman with stealing the
money, which she denied.
Howell Woman COnfesses.
He complained to the police depart
ment and Officer Mulcahy arrested the
two women. Tina Howell made a writ
ten confession in the presence of Chief
of Police Martin, Judge Fitzgerald and
George Barden, assistant prosecuting
attorney for Lake county.
The defense undertook to bar this
testimony on the ground that 1t was
given under duress, but Chief Martin,
Judge Fitzgerald and Assistant Prose-
cutor Barden testified that the confess
sion was given voluntarily and freely
by the Howell woman, who made the
remark at the time that "she was in for
it. and might as we'll own up" The
admission of the confession, supple
mented by the evidence of the prose-
cutting witness, Kohler, took the props
from under the defense and made 1t
easy for the jury to arrive at a YER
dict. which they returned after an
hours elaboration late yesterday af-
ternoon.
Prosecuting Attorney Boone, assisted
BY Frank Baraen, conducted the states
case. The accused were defended by
Harris and Bretcsh and ]. H. Conroy.
There will be no more criminal cases
tried until the grand jury meets, which
will be three weeks hence. 1t is ex-
pected that the Dalton murder case
will be tried then.

STORK BUSY IN SHELBY
One Room in City School
Contains Four Sets of
Twins.
Especial to Lake County Tine~.)

Shelby, Ind. Sept. 24.-If Teddy
Roosevelt could visit a certain room in
one of the Shelby schools, he could say
truthfully that at last he had found
a neighborhood where race suicide was
not a blight.
In the particular room in this Shelby
school there are four sets of twins.
There are the daughters of Henry
CIRRUS, who are seven years old, the
son and daughter of Charles Lane, who
are ten years old, the daughters of H.
Lukins who are ten years old and the
daughters of Wheeler Nichols who are
six years old.
Twins are so numerous in Shelby that
it is a common thing to bring pairs of
children instead of bringing them one
at a time. The parents of these chill
dren are all well known in Lake
county.

BY VERY SMALL MAJORITY
Scott Leads for Governor with Noel and Brewer Con-
testing for Second Place
One of the ho Exciting and Interesting elections The History Mis-
sissippi poiics---Eyery Contest Battle Royal
Summary of the Returns

The state election held nj this city
and county Thursday passe3 off
quietly and the joll;est of feelings
prevail on both sides The polls
in tits city opened at 9 O'Clock, and
from .hen until six o'clock ii the
evening, the closing hour. there vas
hardly a miHutc bat ahat some voter
vas registering his voice on the
states political aspirants.
Each candidate had scores oI
friends over the city and around the
polls working for their election and
as the returns show their efforts
were not in vain many who Sero
running Tor state office and who
were almost a stranger received a
good vote.
The fight for senator betwce.
John Sharp Williams and Goye-noe
Vardaman, proved the main fight Of
the day, and the thorough organiza-
ton Of the Williams forces rough
out the county showed its effect by
the large vote he received.
In the race for governor, as has
has been asserted, Hon. Charles
Scott carried the county for govern
or over one Of its best and tt es.
citizens, Hon. E n. Thomas. This
We believe, was not because the Cit
zenship of the, county did not adj
mire Mr. Thomas, but because they
felt he had no show to win, and fur
ther, the zeal Of the supporters of
Mr.. Scott was so great that they
were afraid the votes given Mr.
Thomas might prove his defeat if the
vote was close. by. keeping him out
OF the second primary.
In the race for lieutenant COVER
nor Hon. Luther Manship led his
opponents by a good vote. For SUI
perintendent of education Hon. J. N.
Powers carried the county.
For insurance commissioner TN.
Henry led the ticket. The race be
tween Maxwell and Smith for state
auditor was very close, Maxwell lead
ing by few votes
The race for state treasurer fur
nished one Of the surprises of the
day, when Hon. George Edwards
came near defeating Mr. P. S. Sto-
vail, a former citizen of the county,
for the place.
The fight for railroad commission
er was also hard fought battle and
the county went for Mr.. Webb by
small majority.
For penitentiary commissioner,
Col w. A. Montgomery carried the
county by big majority
The race for district attorney be-
tween Hon. Sam Montgomery, of
this county, and R c. McBee, of
Holmes county, gave Mr. Montgom-
cry majority in the county ove-
Mr.. McBee, of over 500 votes.
For supervisor from this district
