Richard SedgWick Thinks that
Election Would Be Multi
fled If County Law Was Re-
pealed.
STOOD OPPOSED TOA
SPECIAL ELECTION.
Says There Is a Diversity of
Opinion Among Attorneys
As to What Would Be Final
Results.

There is a diversity of opinion
among attorneys an to whether Wayne
county would remain dry for two
years providing that the county was
voted dry prior to the converting of
the legislature ana the county local
option law was repealed after the
legislature was convened" stated
President Richard Sedgwick of the
Wayne County Civic league this morn
ing.
Mr. Sedgwicl5 stated his personal
opinion was that in the event the
county was voted dry and afterwards
the law was repealed. the result of the
election would be nullified, unless the
Legislature provided that in repeating
the law, counties which had been vot-
ed dry while it was on the statute
books should not be affected.
sMr. Sedgwick, do you think it a
wise move to have the county go to
the expense of approximately $4,000
to hold county local option election
when the possibilities are that within
the next sixty days the law will be re-
spealed and, as you say, the result of
the election nullified in the event the
county was voted dry7" was the query
put to the president OF the Civic lea
que.
I'm the first place / was opposed to
,circulating = petition at the present
time. I don't know whether it's the
wisest move" he replied after a
pause.
Don't you think that If Wayne
county would vote dry, it would show
the legislature that the people Of this
county favored the county local option
law ard tt H'sa.2i have good effect
ON that bod. lnn't you think that
election at rae present timer. asked
Mr.. Sedgwick.
Mr.. Sedgwick stated that he knew
of several disgruntled republicans
who intended to vote wet" should a
local option election be held. but on
the other hand, he knew OF many
Marshall supporters who would vote
dry"
"The Item, I understand, is to OPP
pose voting the county dry on the
ground that with Ladd as prosecutor,
a democratic chief OF police and with
a judge on tho bench who has ruled
favorably for the defendant in a blind
tiger case. Wayne county would be
overrun with blind tigers should the
saloons be driven out. / do not know
what stand the Palladium will take
on the question" said Mr.. Sedgwick.

and blue when the two elevens meet
in Ann Arbor on Nov. IA.
Michigan's chance for a victory over
Pennsylvania this season is much more
encouraging than 1t was at this time in
1907. The schedule has been better.
and the Michigan team promises to be
80 per cent stronger than it was year
ago. While the back field will not be as
strong as 1t was in the days of Heston,
Hammond and Longman, yet it will be
speedy and quite skillful-
In spite of the fact that Pennsylva-
mia has beaten Michigan for the last
two years in succession, there are many
who fear that the tables will be turned
this year. The Quakers know that
Michigan will make this game the
crisis of its season. Pennsylvania ex-
poets Michigan to be stronger this year
than last. but unless some great trans
formation takes place this cannot be
said of the red and blue. The team has
had almost as many setbacks this year
as did the 1905 eleven. which lost three
of it's best men within the first two
weeks of the season.
Captain Adolph Schulz of Fort
Wayne, Ind. is now playing his fourth
year on the Michigan team. He is six

deal of tackling in the open as well as
guard his position against all attacks

was picked as an All American cen
ter by Walter Camp.
William Wasmund of Detroit, Mich
who was the varsity quarterback dur

yesterday at Buffalo and prepared an
ultimatum TO the National Association
of Minor Leagues and to the two ma

all three organizations to sit up and

of John w. Headbrook to arrest Ray
Lamphere. AS MARI entered the gate
Lamphere came out of the door, MARI
testified that he said:
Ray, get on your coat and go to town
with me-"
Lamphere's reply was: Did those
three children and that woman get out
of the building?'
MARI asked: What building?"
Lamphere answered: THAT building
near town."
So Lamphere Ran.
Mari asked him where he was when
he saw the fire, and Lamphere re-
piled:
When l got along by the house the
smoke was coming out of the windows
and around the roof So | ran"
Mari said that he asked Lamphere
if he saw anybody around the place,
and he said No
The witness testified that Lamphere
said on another occasion that after he
had been discharged by Mrs. Guinness
she wanted him to return to work, but
he was afraid.
When asked what he was afraid Of
he replied that it would not be fair to
his lawyers for him to tell.
Grewsome Relics Shown.
Sheriff Shutter when on the stand
told of the finding of the ten bodies in
Mrs. Gunnesss graveyard, and also
told of the sluicing by Gold Miner
Schultz of the ashes from the ruins,
many watches, pieces of jewelry, gold
teeth and bridge work, bracelet, pen
knife. pocketbook clasps, etc.. being
found. All of these articles were in
troduced and identified by the witness
He also testified that when the body
of Mrs. Guinness was uncovered the
| neck or spine bones extended about
| three inches beyond the point of the
| neck where the rest of the body was
| burned off. but that in moving the
body the vertebrate fell away.
The state by this evidence sought to
show that 1t was out of the question to
consider that the head had been cut
off, and that il had simply burned off,
the heat being more intense there than
at any other point.
On cross-examination it was brought
out that Mrs. Guinness had visited the
sheriff's office three times during the
| winter, with reference to the annoy
| ance she said Lamphere was making
her, and it was on these occasions that
the witness said he observed the rings
which were offered in evidence as hav-
| ing been found on the fingers of the
adult body.
