IRE OF EARL HAM
FACULTY AROUSED
Students Picnic on Sunday and
One Is Dismissed and
Others HumiIiated.
THIS ACTION is COMMON.
HISTORY HAS REPEATED ITSELF
IN THAT SENIORS HAVE BEEN
DEBARRED JUST BEFORE CON-

Confusion has been spread through
out the ranks Of the senior class at
Earlham college, and the student body
is in an uproar History has repeat
ed itself, and just a few days before
commencement the faculty has taken
steps to debar members Of the class
from participation in commencement
exercises. At the meeting of the fac
ulty held this week it was agreed to
dismiss Cecil Calvert from college. de-
bar Miss Agnes Hunt from the festiv-
tiles of commencement week and rep
rimand Miss Anna Maris. The three
and another young man were together
Sunday. This was construed as viO-
lating the faculty rules and action has
been speedy. The three students are
members of the senior class and had
made preparation for the commence
ment week social events. The student
body believes the faculty is ignorant
of the name of the fourth student who
composed the party and for this rea-
son he has escaped punishment
The diplomas will not be withheld
from the trio. They have been sent
to the engraver and under the custom
of charging the graduating student S.

The young ladies asked for permission
and were told they might go if the
picnic feature was eliminated The
young men did not approve of this re-
strictiOn and in order to circumvent
the order the provisions were sent to
the place of the intended picnic in ad-
vance. The governess became ac-
quainted with the fact her instruction
might be disregarded and she instruct

for them TO remain on the college cam

CHARGE AGAINST
GAY TO STAND
Prosecutor Jessup Will Not

Complaint.
| WANT CHARGE ALTERED.
PRESSURE HAS BEEN BROUGHT
TO BEAR ON THE PROSECUTOR,
BUT HE INSISTS ON CLAUSE
WHICH MAY SEND GAY TO JAIL.

The prosecuting attorney is firm in
his determination to prosecute George
Gay, proprietor of the Westcott Hotel,
on the original charge, conviction of

BILE for more young boys learning to
in the county," said the prosecutor.
1T is because of this fact that I will
insist in his trial before a jury and
under the clause of the statute which
provides for the Jail sentence. He is
not like an ordinary saloonkeeper in
this respect. Boys have got their
liquor at his place on Sunday, who are
so young that even a bootlegger would
hesitate before selling to them"
Pressure has been brought to bear
on Prosecutor Jessup asking him TO be
willing to consent to alter the charge.
Each proffer has been refused. The
states attorney says he believes Gay
guilty as charged and if he is not. then
the jury will acquit him. Il am not

Let the twelve men decide. If his acts
do not justify his being sent to jail,

prosecutor stated.
What will be the nature of the de
fense offered by Gay is a matter of
conjecture. The blind tiger, it is al
legged, was found in active operation
when the police descended on the no.

all accessories were confscated. Mr..
Gay was in a room across from the

II Will Now Be Necessary for
The Socialist Party to Nom
mate Another Candidate
For Sheriff.
Eye MAKES FIRST
STATEMENT TO PRESS.
Says That He Could Not Un-
derstand His Actions When
Attacking Women and He
Seemed to Be Under a Spell.

With renewed courage Harry Eye
WAS brought before Judge Fox in the
Wayne circuit court this morning to
hear pronounced his sentence to the
reformatory. The court imposed SEN
tence on the plea Of guilty to the
charge of burglary, in accord with
Eyes confession. The sentence is in
determinate from ten to twenty years.
Eyes wife nor any of his relatives
were present in the court room. The
man accepted his fate with comment.
He was disfranchised for two years.
Owing to the mitigating circum-
stances involved in the case, the court
prepared the following, which was
read when sentence was pronounced:
Mentally Unbalanced.
The defendant, Harry Eye, has en-
tered a plea of guilty to a charge Of
burglary. At the time he did this it
was made to appear that he has been
guilty of other crimes of a brutal and
outrageous character. Facts and cir
cumstances show the case to be an
anomalous one. The appearance and
conduct of the defendant indicates to
my mind that he is in a measure men
tally unbalanced or insane. It is evil
dent, however, that his insanity is not
of a form that will exempt him from
punishment for his crimes. 1t does
not appear that his criminal conduct
resulted from any insane delusion or
hallucination. for he fully compre-
hends the nature of his acts. He real
izes that they were wrong. He is a
man of industrious habits, works ev-
cry day, earns good wages which he
uses in supporting his family whom he
cares for in commendable way These
are all good qualities. The facts and
circumstances surrounding the case
however, indicate to my mind that the
crimes he committed resulted from
some kind of mental alteration. His
mental perversion is not of a kind that
will admit him into any of the insane
hospitals Of the state nor shield him
from punishment He is able to dis
tinguish between right and wrong and
this is the test of criminal rresponsi-
bility. His history, as far as | have
1t, shows that his habits have created
in him insane desires which he is un-
able to control, that override his
judgment and subvert his will power
This has made and will continue to
make him dangerous man in a COM
munity and for this reason the public
welfare demands that he should be re-
strained, and fnaSmuch as he cannot
be received in any Of the insane hos
pitfalls the only thing to do is to COM
NIT him to the penitentiary. This
will serve a double purpose; it will
punish the defendant for his crimes
and protect the public from further
outrages. The defendant will there
fore be sentenced to an indeterminate
term in the state prison of from ten to
twenty years, and the sheriff is charg-
ed with the execution of the SEN
dence"

SOCIALIST CANDIDATE.
Eve Was Nominated for Sheriff by
Party.

The arrest and confession of Eye and
his subsequent removal from society
creates a vacancy on the county ticket
of the Socialist party. Eye was the
nominee of the Socialists for sheriff of
Wayne county. He stated this morn
jng that he had intended to enter the
race for the office with firm determi-
nation and enthusiastic vigOr. 1t is
probable the party will select another
representative as its choice for office.
1t seems somewhat as the irony of
fate that Eye should have been nomi-
mated for the office of sheriff. 1t was
only two weeks ago that the So
Cialist ticket was made public and
within that short time Eye has been
convicted of crime which has placed
him in the custody Of the man he was
anxious to succeed in office. Eye had
hoped for the time to come when he
would act as the chief arresting au-
thority in the county and carry the
Keys of the Jail in his pocket Instead
the day arrived when he found himself
placed behind the same door he had
anticipated closing on others. Unless
Paroled Eye will spend ten years be-
hind steel bars and high walls. where
he will be far removed from authority
over other men in a similar predica-
ment.
