NEW JERSEY KEEPS
OFF TAFT WAGON
ALSO REFUSES TO FAVOR THE
DENOMINATION OF
ROOSEVELT.
DELEGATES UNRESTRICTED, TO
GET A NEW JERSEY MAN
ON TICKET.

Trenton, n. j., May 6.-The repub-
IicAl state convention to select dele
gates to the national convention at
Chicago yesterday named a delegation
that is uninstrutced. The convention
also voted down resolutions endors-
ing the candidacy of Secretary Taft
for president and favOring the re
nomination of President Roosevelt.
A resolution favoring former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy for vice pres
ident was adopted without opposition.
The delegates selected are not all fav-
orable to Secretary Taft. The idea
of the republican leaders in the state
is that the New Jersey delegation
should go to Chicago unpledged and
be in a position to secure whatever
favors might be obtained for New
Jersey.
A strong effort will be made to
have the national convention accept
former Governor Murphy as the vice
presidential candidate. The dele
gates at large are Governor Fort,
United States. Senators Keane and
Briggs and State Assessor David
Biard.

JEALOUSY LEADS
TO TRIPLE.CRIME
THREE PEOPLE, PERHAPS FOUR,
SLAIN BY AN OHIO
HORSEMAN.

Washington Courthouse, O., May G..
Bert Devaney, a well known horse
man, shot and instantly killed Miss
Ida Bird last evening at her home
on John street He then turned the
gun on Mrs. Bird, mother of the vic,
tim, and shot her in the abdomen, in
f1icting a probably fatal wound, and
later shot and killed Silas Shackle-
ford
1t is also reported that Shackle-
ford's son has been killed by De
vaney.
Devaney has taken refuge in Shack
leford's barn and, refusing to surren-
der, a sheriff's posse and members
of a militia company have surrounded
the barn, with the intention of storm
ing it.
The motive for the crime is not
known, but is supposed to be jeal-
ousy.
late last night the police entered
the place where Devaney had made
his last stand and found him lying
dead he having shot himself
through the head The body of Sill
as Shacke1ford, who was shot and
killed by Devaney, was also found.
Shackelford's son was not with his
father as supposed, and he is safe.

NJ. 7. PARK WILL
TAKE LONG REST
DETERMINED TO STEP OUT AS
HEAD OF STATE SCHOOL
AT SPARA.
DR.. w. T. sEARLES, J. w. GROVES
AND JOHN BRIGHT MENTIONED
FOR THE PLACE.
Madison, May 6.

Madison, May 6.
NJ 7. Park who has resigned as
superintendent of the state school for
dependent and neglected children at
Sparta, has not formed his plans for
the future other than that he will
take an absolute rest from work in
order to regain his health, the impair
ment of which is the cause for his
resignation.
While the board of control is under
stood to be reluctant to lose the serv-
ices of Mr.. Park, who for nine years
has successfully administered the in
stitution, the resignation will be ac-
cepted, as the board is familiar with
the fact that Mr.. Park arrived at his
determination only after careful con
sideration and in the belief that he
must make a change for the benefit
of his health.
1t is understood that the board of
control has sought the consent of DR..
w. T. Searles of Sparta to take the
place of superintendent. DR.. Searles
has a large practice there and
through many years of service as
physician and surgeon of the school
has become familiar with the details
of the institution, and he has a strong
inclination for the good work that the
school is doing. However, 1t is said,
he is opposed to dividing his time
between his practice and the man
agement of the state school and feels
that he can hardly abandon his pro-
fessional practice, so that he will not
be the successor of Mr.. Park. John
W. Groves of Madison, former mayor
and now assistant superintendent of
public property, is among those men
toned for the place, as is also John
Bright, an editor of the Milwaukee
Free Press and an experienced school
man.
The state board of control has re-
ceived the resignation of Superin-
tenden Park, but at the session yes
terday took no action thereon. A
number of candidates have appeared
for the place. Although the board
has made no announcement concern
ing the position, here are indications
that a man of experience, either in
the Sparta school or in some similar
institution, will be chosen.

JEROME MAY GO TO JAIL.
Will Accept Prison Before Giving UP
Grand Jury Records.

New York, May 6.-District Attor-
ney Jerome yesterday said he would
go to jail rather than comply with an
order received from Judge Rosalsky
that certain grand jury minutes be
filed with the clerk of the court of

Mr.. Jerome made this statement at
the hearing of charges against him
before Commissioner Hand, who was
appointed by Governor Hughes to
take evidence in the matter Of the
King committees charges that the
district attorney had failed to fulfill
the duties of his office.
The records which Judge Rosalsky

Mysterious Holes Dug by Farmland Prove
to Be Graves of Victims
Married Rich Men and Killed Them for
Fortunes and Life Insurance
Young Girl, Adopted Daughter, Also Slain,
Supposedly to Seal Her Lips

+ of Jennie Olson is that she, nearing
an age when she could know too
much Of the life of Mrs. Guinness ana
her alleged commission Of crimes,
was murdered that her lips might be
sealed forever.
States Attorney Smith last night
said that in all probability Lamphere
would be taken from Jail to the pris-
on at Michigan City. This is to in
sure beyond any question the safe
custody Of the suspect.
Relatives Suspected.
The first husband, Max Sorenson,
died several years ago while the fam
lily lived at Austin, Ill His death
was said to be due to heart failure,
but relatives claimed he had been
poisoned. An inquest was ordered
some time after the remains had been
buried but for some reason the body
was never disinterred by the author
tiles.
Also Got Fire Insurance.
While a resident of Austin, the
home of Mrs. Guinness was burned
and although some question as to the
origin Of the fire arose. the insurance
was collected.
With the money secured from the
insurance on the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Guinness bought a confec-
tionery store in Chicago. 4 short
time later the store was Quilted by
fire, the origin of which was sus-
picious, but after making an inyesti-
cation the insurance companies could
not attach any blame to Mrs. Gun
ness, and paid the claim.
Hit by Meat Chopper
After the fire at Chicago, Mrs. Gun
ness moved to Laporte and it was
here that she was united in marriage
to Peter Guinness. While in the
kitchen one day Guinness was struck
on the head by a meat chopper and
the wife explained to the coroner
that it had fallen from a shelf and
killed him Although her story was
questioned the investigation was
never carried any farther and her
story was given sufficient credence
by the authorities to drop the case.
Adopted Daughter Disappeared.
The authorities believe that Jennie
Olson knew of the circumstances
which surrounded the death of at
least one of the husbands of her
fostermother and that it was for this
reason that she was put opt of the
way While the skeleton has not
been absolutely identified as that of
the adopted daughter, it is reasona-
Bile to believe that such was the case,
as she has not been seen for the past
two years.
Contemplated Another Marriage.
That Mrs. Guinness was evidently
contemplating still another marriage
is believed by the officers as the re-
suit of the receipt of a letter
Wednesday by Executor Fogle, ad-
dressed to NJ ;. Guinness. The letter
is written in Norwegian and is from
Carl Peterson of Waupaca, Wis,
He writes that he is sorry he can
not meet her requirements as to his
financial conditions, but that he Is
respectable and worthy in every way.
He says he hopes she will be able to
find the right kind of a man. one who
will make her a good and true hus-
band and one who will be a father
to her children.
