JOE HAYDEN IS
AGAIN BARRICADED
In His Cabin Home Near
MaSOnville.
Had Walked all the way From
Hopkinsville After Making His
Escape From Asylum.

Owensboro, ,Ky.,-Joe Hayden is again
barricaded in his little cabin in the
woods in the AIasonville neighbor-
hood, and the community is somewhat
terrorized. Nobody has been close
enough to him to hold converse with
him, but it is evident that he is as
violently insane as when he shot Dc
putty Sheriff James Weir early last
spring. His family is in tie house
with him.
Hayden arrived at home some time
Sunday afternoon and, from appear
anees, Immediately prepared for a
siege. He had doubtless walked the
entire distance from Hopllinsville. and
had, in all probability, travelled only
at night, as he could have made the
trip in much shorter time had ne pass
ed along in the daytime. He had
freed himself from the leather throngs
with which he was bound when he es-
capped from the asylum.
There is danger of somebody being
hurt before Hayden is again return
ed to the asylum. 1t is not definitely
known that he has firearms in the
huose but 1t is probable that he has,
and there is little doubt that he would
use them If he has.
The county authorities will not at
tempt to place him under restraint un
less he should attempt some fresh
violence. The county authorities have
instructed the sheriff's office that
Hayden is the prisoner of the asylum
authorities and that 1t is their duty
to capture him.
County Judge Owen, Immediately up
on learning Monday morning, that
Hayden was at home, called up DR..
Gardner superintendent OF the asylum
on the telephone and notified him.
HAS the sheriff got him?" queried
the doctor.
mo. sir,' replied the Judge.
well. can't somebody from the
sheriff's office go out there and get
him."

Come and get him."

he would send enough guards to take
Hayden on Tuesday. 1Ley will pro-

TAFT and FORAKER
MEET AS FRIENDS
Hello There" Taft Called
Out the Ohio Senator.
Both Men Smile and There Was
A General Jollification on
Reviewing Stand.

Toledo. o. Sept. 2.-William II. Taft
and Senator Foraker, meeting for the
first time since Tn Republican con-
vention created a hurricane of cheers
to-day when they shook hands with
each other in the official reviewing
stand as the G. A. r. parade was pass
ing.
The scene of the meeting between the
erstwhile political rivals was a fitting
one. In the most prominent seat in
the reviewing stand stood the Republi
can nominee, flanked on either side
by the prominent citizens of the city,
while below him there marched the vet
Grams of the Civil war, saluting and
mingling their cheers with the music
Of many bands. Mr.. Taft bowed again
and again as the carriages passed, and
in one of those carriages sat Senator
Foraker, himself acknowledging cheers
from those who recognized MIN.
At the stand Senator Foraker with
Senator Dick and Gov. Harris, alight-
ed and joined the line of men passing
before Taft on their way to seats.
AS the senior OHIO Senator approach
ed and the crowd recognized HON there
was a seconds hush and then a nigh
ty cheer which was taken up in the
street and echoed far away in the dis
tance, of the Senator and the former
Secretary of War shook hands.
Hello, there" said Mr.. Taft. extend
ing his hand as he saw his fellow
statesman approaching. Both men
smiled and the crowd now fully cog
infant that the anticipated reconcile
alton between the former political foes
was now an official fact, Increased the
volume of their cheers to an extent
that made it almost impossible for the
two principals in the scene to tell
what one was saying to the other.
Been taking some exercise at the
springs" commented the Senator
Yes, and I'm feeling fine"
When did you get here?"
Got here this morning; nice trip ~
water but little rough; however, la
a fine sailor"
And the rest Of what they said WAS
lost in the din of many voices raisel
in one tremendous shout. Long after
the two had taken seats and the
parade had moved on the cheering con
tinued freshened continually by until-
ed voices as new detachments reached
the spot.

BIRKHEAD WONT
TRY PARISHES
They File Affidavlts that He
Is Hostile.
Attorneys For State and Defend
ants Agree on John S. Kelley
As Trial Judge.

Owensboro KY, Sept. 2.-Judge T. F
Birkhead will not try the indictments
against James H. and J. Otis Parrish,
resulting from the failure of the Ow-
ensboro Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany having vacated the bench on afii
davits sworn to by the Parishes that
he would not give them an impair
tial trial.
BY agreement of the attorneys for
the commonwealth and the defense
Hon. John S. Kelly, of Bardstown, was
selected to try the cases.
The bank cases took new turn in
the circuit court when the hour arriv-
ed for Judge Birkhead to hear the mo
tons of James H., ]. Otis and |. n.
Parrish for a change of venue.
This turn came in the nature of affi
davits by James H. Parrish and j..
Otis Parish to swear Judge Birkhead
off the bench, on the grounds OF hos
ility to the affents would prevent
Judge Birkhead from giving them
fair impartial trial.
T. A. Anderson and the Parishes
also filed affidavits for a change of
venue on the grounds that hostile
opinion to them in Daviess county is
so intense that they can not have fair
trials in this county. They ask the
court to transfer the cases to coun-
ty in which public sentiment is not
so hastile as to preclude an impartial
trial.
T. S. Anderson does not make any
objection to Judge Birkhead as the
trial Judge, but files affidavit declaring
he does not believe he cani get justice
in this district and asking for a
change of venue to some county out
side this judicial district. The alle-
cations on which this petition is
based are brief and merely recite that
he does not believe he can get justice
here.
In the affidavit of James H. Parrish
to remove Judge Birkhead, he swears
that Judge T. F. Birkhead is hostile
to him and would not give him fair
and impartial trial because Judge
Birkheads motheY-in-law was loser
by the Savings bank failure as well
as other relatives of Mrs. Birkhead,
and also on the grounds that Judge
Bfrkhead and Parrish had some warm
wordy encounters over losing in
vestment made by Judge Birkhead in
one of Mr.. Parrish's manufactures
the Chamber Suit company-it being
alleged that for quite while Judge
Birkhead refused to speak to Parrish.
The affidavit of ]. Otis Parrish af-
firms the belief of the affant in the
truth of the charges made in the af-
fidavit of ]. II. Parrish and that be-
cause of his alleged hostility of Judge
Birkhead toward James H. Parrish he
is also hostile to ]. Otis Parrish be-
couse the. latter is the brother of ]. H
Parrish.
