A new record for the cost of poultry
was established when Thomas Haw-

ed in the court at Hamilton, Ohio. The
township justice who heard the case
found Hawkins guilty and upon failure
to pay the fine the man was ordered
sent 10 the Cincinnati workhouse to

Hawkins was charged with trespass
and the destruction of property by
George Conrad. The latter claimed

he shot three chickens. He alleged
he demonstrated with Hawkins and
then the latter drew his gun on him
and threatened him. For tresspass-

fined S23.7O and for killing the chick
ems he drew $3OS.7O. This meant
more than $1O2 for each chicken or at

Following his arrest at Hamilton
Hawkins was released under bond OF

he might be the man sought. Haw.
kins went to the city building to ask
if he could be apprehended here for an
offense committed at Hamilton. While
in conversation at police headquarters
the constable entered and nabbed the
runaway. Hawkins protested, but
when told he would be placed in jail
here and held until requisition papers
were secured. he consented to return
ing to Hamilton. The result was as
related.

that she saw worked in one Of the big

There was a sudden and evident
commotion among the employees.

American eyes began to bulge.

Afternoon.

MESSED THE GUINNESS HOME
BURNING.

Laporte. Ind, Nov. 24.-The trial Of
Ray Lamphere. the farm hand. for the
murder of Mrs. Belle Guinness and her
three children. is drawing to a close.
DR.. Walter S. Haines took the stand
this afternoon but his testimony was
not expected TO consume more than
an hour. He testified to the finding
of strychnine and arsenic in the
stomachs OF Mrs. Guinness and two OF
the children.
Louise" Gackle, a young woman
working in q Laporte. skirt factory.
testified that at 8 o'clock on the
morning Of April IS. the date OF the
ed with canvass, passed her window.
Miss Gackle lives on Park avenue. the
road from Laporte to the Guinness
farm.
Il had been SICK" testified Miss
Gackle, and could not sleep. I saw a
red glow in the sky as OF a fire and
went to the window. discovering the
blaze in the direction OF the Guinness
farm. When / was looking the auto
went by, but could not SEQ who were
the occupants of the machine"
This same auto. or one of the same
description. was seen later in the
morning going through the town of
Hobart and also through Valparaiso.

The witness was asked how she
knew that It was o'clock In the
morning that she saw the fire and the
automobile. She said she wasstaking

In cross-examination the girl was
asked by County Prosecutor Smith.

Il did not want to be mixed up In
such an awful scandal as this one"
Miss Gackle answered. $50 kept per-
fectly still about It. But when heard
what they were swearing against poor
| Lamphere I thought It was my duty
| to speak out, so I told Mr.. worden
last Saturday"
It has been the contention OF the
prosecution that the. Guinness fire was
started by Lamphere at o'clock in
the morning. Miss Gackle is the Sec
ond witness produced by the defense
who saw 1t burning at 3 O'Clock In tina
morning.
Ground For an Abb.
AS the case now stands the defense
has introduced evidence to show that
Mrs. Guinness was alive on July Q.
more than two months after the fire,
in which the state contends she per-
ished. The defense has also offered
evidence to show that the fire was
seen before the hour alleged by the
state that Lamphere left Mrs. Smiths
residence. thereby laying ground Tor
the alibi theory.
