SAYS He KILLED
SUPPOSED RIDER
Mystery Surrounding Death of
Kentucky Man at Last
Cleared.
IIT WAS ALL A MISTAKE.
DUNCAN SAYS HE HAD RECEIVED
NUMEROUS NIGHT RIDERS NO.
TIcEs AND EXPECTED AN AT.
TACK ANY TIME.

Frankfort, Ky, May 29.-The mys-
terry surrounding the killing a week
ago near Jacksonville. Shelby county.
Of Newton Hazlett. farmer and to-
bacco grower, has been cleared up I'M
expectedly.
Walter Duncan, neighbOr OF the
dead man, confessed in open court be-
fore Circuit Judge Marshall that he
did the killing. The COME ssiOn fol-
lowed the returning of an indictment
charging Duncan with the killing.
The dead body of Hazlett was dis
covered last Friday night with two
bullet holes through it and with par
TALLY empty pistol clutched in his
right hand and a wire clipper in his
left The tragedy occurred near the
home of Duncan. No light was at first
| thrown on the tragedy. 1t was set
down to the night rider outrages that
have been rampant in Central Ken
lucky.
| The mystery was cleared up in start
| ling fashion in the Shelby circuit court
| when Duncan confessed ne killed
| Hazlett, believing him to be night
rider about to burn his tobacco barn.
| The confession of Duncan followed the
| filing of indictments charging he and
Riley Harrod. Both men were in the
| court room at the time and the scene
partook Of the dramatic when Duncan
arose and said he would explain the
death of Hazlett, concerning which
| he maintained silence for a week on
advice Of counsel.
| Duncan said he received several let
| tiers threatening his property unless
| he agreed not to raise a crop of tObaC-
co this season. Thursday of last week
he received information that his big
tobacco barn was to be burned that
night. He went to the telephone to
notify friends and found the wires cut
| Taking Riley Harrod and Hubert
Kessler, with shotguns, they went on
guard at nightfall. Several times
they heard horsemen on a nearby
road. Finally some one approached
| Duncan says he went out to meet him
| and demanded his business. He
couldn't recognize him in the dark
ness. After some alteration the man
| viz plONeu w US IldZIeIt, ldloeu ule
pistol and fired twice. Neither bullet
| took effect.
Duncan says he then emptied both
barrels Of a shotgun into Hazlett, who
fell dead. Duncan rejoined Kesslel
and Harrod, thinking a combined at
tack on the tobacco barn would fox
low, but nothing further materialized
When the body of Hazlett was found
next morning two chambers Of his pts
toll were empty and pair of wire cut
tiers were in his pocket.

LOSES HER MIND
Rush County Girl Is in a Ser
ious Condition Due to
Bad Scare.
HORSE TRIED TO RUN AWAY

Peculiar causes are assigned for the
sudden insanity Of Miss Bertha Ger
Der of Rush county, who probably will
be brought to the Eastern Indiana
hospital for the insane for treatment
AS the young woman was driving to
the office of physician at Greenfield,
her horse became frightened and at
tempted to run away The animal
plunged about until it lost its footing
and fell to the road. Miss Gerber was
in a serious nervous state when she ar
rived at the physicians office. 1t re-
quired some time to quiet her and
make her return home possible.
The young lady suffered a similar
attack last year and it is feared her
temporary arrangement may become
permanent. On the former occasion
she was thrown into a state of nervous
collapse after attending a series Of re-
ligious meetings. Miss Gerber is a
member of the holiness sect and an ar
dent enthusiast. She attended holi-
ness school at Cincinnati.

DR.. DORR RESIGNS
FROM HOSPITAL
Withdrawal From Management
of City Institution Due to
Criticisms in Press

Following the recent criticism of the
city and county hospital management
Dr.. w. r. Dorr, the warden rendered
his resignation to the board of health
last night. That the board, despite an
invests cation, had found nothing which
reflected upon the integrity, diligence
or ability of the hospital mana cement
was the text of statement issued to
the press by President Ophuls. This
statement asserted the hospital prob
lem was one of finances.
Upon this assertion the board ap-
pointed Supervisor Henry Payot DR..
Huntington and E. D. Bullard to in
vestigate and decide whether a busi-
nessman or a physician could best ad-
minister the affairs of the hospital.
Pending the report of this committee
Dr. DORIS resignation was held in
allegiance.
AS reason for resigning DR.. Dorr
cited recent press criticisms. In de-
fense of his administration he said
that he had done the best he could with
the amount of money allowed the hos
pital by the city.
Seizing upon the latter statement
Commissioner Mclaughlin attempted to
throw the blame upon the city finance
committee. He spoke of the mig
gardly provisions made for the hospital
by the finance committee" Supervisor
Payot took exception to this remark
and said:
LAS long as the people continue to
vote higher salaries for policemen, fire.
men and others the supervisors are un-
able to adequately provide for the city
and county hospital and similar institu-
tions and still keep within the dollar
tax limit prescribed by the charter"
A short discussion along these same
lines followed.
In all it's proceedings the board par
ticularly emphasized the fact that 1T
did not lay the blame for any of the
hospitals troubles upon DR.. Dorr, and a
resolution to this effect was adopted.
TT is purely and simply question of
dollars and cents" said Supervisor
Payot, "and involves the general ques-
ton of whether a businessman or a
physician can employ those dollars and
cents for the best interests of the hos
pital" This explanation Of the case
was indorsed by the several board mem
bers when interviewed last night.
In talk made early in the meeting
Dr. Huntington said: "The time has
passed when we can keep the inmates
of the hospital upon 20 cent per diem
per person basis. 1t should be raised
to s1.25 or $780,"
The statement issued by President
Ophuls said in substance:
AN Investigation into recent COM
plants in regard to the city and county
hospital was made by myself, the
health officer and hospital committee of
the board. Nothing was found which
reflects in any way upon the integrity,
diligence and ability of the manage
ment. Certain defects are evident but
they are due. to lack of funds
The committee will visit the hospital
next Tuesday and Will report next

DISCHARGED EMPLOYEES
ATTACK BULLETIN MEN
w. j. de BruhE FIourishes Pistol
While Son Strikes Adver-
Using Manager

While w. ]. de Bruhl held the entire
business Office force of the Bulletin at
bay with a revolver shortly after 5
o'clock last evening. his son. Jesse de
Bruhl, went UP to w. A. T. Savage. an
advertising manager. who was seated
at his desk, and struck him terrific
blow in the face. Savage grabbed the
boy, and, holding him before him both
as a hostage and as a shield, advanced
toward the father and stayed his wrath
until two policemen could come In
from the street and capture the bel
ligerent family.
That dangerous melodrama occurred
after the De Bruhls had had a similar
scene with J. III. Crothers, business
manager, of the Bulletin.
Both father and son are discharged
employees of the paper. A year ago
the father was discharged. but recently
he secured employment there for his
son. The junior De Bruhl was not
competent to hold his place. it was
said, and was dismissed week ago.
The pair went to Crothers early in the
afternoon and pleaded with him to re-
engage the son. Crothers refused and
there was some minor gunplay.
The pair then waited until Savace
came in. When the revolver was drawn
there was a panic among the clerks
and stenographers in the Office Po-
licemen II. G. Gayland and Fred Kno-
ham arrested the De BruhIs. w J. de
Bruhl was charged with assault with a
deadly weapon and Jesse, the son, with
battery.

COMMITTEE TAKES
UP BANKING BILL
Sturtevant Measure Receives
Much Rough Treatment
at the Meeting
Savings Banks and Savings and
Loan Societies Are Feature
of Days Session

The Sturtevant draft of the proposed
new banking laws and the draft pre-
pared by the legislative committee of
the California bankers association were
separated, put together, torn apart and
again remolded by the joint committee
of legislators and bankers at their
meeting in the ferry building yesterday
morning and afternoon.
The state senators and assemblymen
worked for the Sturtevant draft and the
financiers were in favor of the bankers
draft At first no agreement could be
reached in regard to either of the en-
tire drafts. Then they were taken up
sectionally by the joint committee.
The sections of both drafts were taken
up one at time, the bad features elm
mated and good ones added.
In many cases sections were alike
and unless faults of some kind were
discovered the sections were allowed to
stand as part of the correct draft.
In the section pertaining to loans to
directors and officers of banks the artf-
Gle was made to read that no loans
were to be made to officers or direc-
tors of savings banks" Commercial
banks were eliminated
Discussion of the sections of the
drafts pertaining to savings banks and
savings and loan societies consumed
both the morning and afternoon ses-
sions. Changes were made in only a
few instances. The present session.
which will last during the largest part
OF the week, will be devoted entirely to
getting the proposed new banking laws
into shape. The discussions will con-
tinue until every section of both drafts
has been gone over. Those present at
yesterdays session were:
