Some months ago Summerlin found his
daughter and Mancil together and killed
the young man in his daughters pres

her lover had been slain she turned to
her father and said: You have killed
Leon, now kill me"
Summerlln claimed at the time that
Mancil had wronged the girl, but this the
girl denied. She said that she and Man
Gil were engaged and were discussing
their marriage when her father fired
At the trial to-day, however, Miss Sum
merlin appeared as witness for her father
and deliberately sacrificed herself, alleg-

then refused to marry her.
The girl sobbed bitterly as she told her
story and many in the courtroom wept

SURE OF PRESIDENTS STAND
GhiOan's Manager Gives Out State
ment in Which He Significantly
and Expresses Confidence in Taft,s
NominatiOn-Rcturn 10 Ohio.

Arthur I. Vorys. Of Ohio manager OF
William II. Taft's Presidential candidacy
boom, made a statement last night. lust
before leaving Washington, which is re-
garded in some quarters as an authori-
tative announcement that President
Roosevelt viii not recede in any way
from his expressed intention to refuse 10
accept a domination for a third term.
This is the statement:
The Taft movement would not have
been inaUgurated. and would not be Iros-
ecuted. except on the assumption that the
President viii adhere to his resolute de-
termination not to accept another term.
and except upon good grounds for that
assumption"
While the statement itself is significant.
that significance is emphasized in the
minds of those who have watched the
progress of the Taft boom by the knowl-
edge that Mr. Vorys and the Taft en-
thusiasts were greatly worried up 10 a
short time ago over the reucence which
Mr.. Roosevelt had shown in connection
with the third-term movement
Sought Ont President.
When the President left Canton, Ohio.
on September 30. in continuation Of his
present trip, Mr.. Vorys was a passenger
on the Presidential train. and it was said
at the time that his object in joining Mr..
ROOsevelts party was to ascertain def
nitely if there was any prospect whatever
that Mr. Roosevelt would be a candid. te
to succeed himself
The statement given out by Mr. Vorys
Is taken to mean that he had a satisfac-
tory talk with the President-that is.

Taft boomers. who expect service from
the administration in the fight 10 have
Mr.. Taft nominated Still. il is not over
looked that the statement may have an
other meaning. The good grounds" for
the assumption that President Roosevelt
Is out of the race may mean the original
assurances to Mr.. Taft's friends that Mr.
Roosevelt would adhere 10 his election
night announcement, and there are some
who hold that the statement NAV have
been issued to remind the President that
a few kind words of repetition would be
appreciated in the Taft camp.
