ed in Hamilton. Ohio. %.

Whiting, sent to the penitentiary for life
as the accomplice Of West, to the effect
that West. or Earl. was not in Sidney at
the time the murder was committed
Tuck" Matthew'S. a Hamilton saloon
keeper, remembered that West was in his
saloon on the date Of the murder
One Of Matthew'S bartenders, Mace Rey-
nolds. remembers the date well, because
that day he went to tailor to order q suit
Of clothes and walked down the street with
the convicted man. To satisfy himself. the
bartender today had the tailor look UP the
date. which was April 20 1906, the day
Legg was murdered. This, 1t is believed,
will prove a complete alibi for West. Whit
ing. who has confessed that he alone did
the murder. cannot now be electrocuted for
the murder. since his life has once been
placed in jeopardy for the crime and given
a life sentence.

for a great part of this season. packed his
grip this morning and announced that he
was tired Of playing ball He left later for
his home in New England. His departure
leaves the Nationals without a regular first
sacker.
Anderson has been in the game for d
number Of years. and 1t is supposed he
realizes that his playing days are Of short
duration. so he got out before he could be
turned over to the minor league. AS the
result of the sudden departure Of Anderson
Manager Cantillon has shifted Delehanty
from second to the initial sack, and has
placed George Mill at second. .-.--
1t will be remembered that. Anderson sud-
denly left the team two seasons ago, and
went home. stating that his wife was Ill.

employees of the division presented to Dr.
Day handsome seal ring. bearing the

In presenting the ring Mr.. Parker ex-
pressed the regret of the division In parting
with DIR. Day as their leader and gratiflca-
ton that he Is to continue Of the
arms of the service in connection with the
petroleum work.
DR.. Day. in accepting the gift, recalled
the fact that he was born a month after
the discovery of petroleum in Pennsyl-
vanla. and that the desire to investigate
crude petroleum had been the incentive
which had induced him to go through Johns
Hopkins University while making his liv-
ing in mercantile pursuits, and that 1t had
been very tempting to be as close to the
consummation of his ideal for twenty ene
years without giving his attention to this
hobby to the neglect Of other duties.
