McIver Memorial Volume.
SANFORD Express

The Mclver memorial volume, con-
tanning press accounts of the death
of the late Charles ID. Mclver, with
press tributes, memorial exercises
and addresses, resolutions, personal
tributes, biographical sketches, etc,
has been issued. The volume is neat
" bound and printed and was pre-
pared by order OF the board Of direc-
tors of the Normal and Industrial
College Among the tributes is the
one OF William Jennings Bryan. the
sermon of Dr. l.. W. Crawford, the
articles OF the South atlantic Quar-
terIv, the New York Times the Balti-
more Sun, the Review of Reviews, the
Worlds Work, the eulogy of Edwin
A. Alderman and the bicgraph-
zeal sketch of William c. Smith This
volume is fitting memorial OF DR..
McIver, who did u great work for his
State and was instrumental in build
ING an institution that will stand as
a monument to his memory In
writing of DR.. McIver and this vol
ume the News and Observer says,
among Otnef tnln3S:
If you wish to know what a strong
grip this man had on the heart of
the State and why, read this volume.
1t is not only Il splendid tribute to
the dead; it is also a splendid tibute
to the living, whose appreciation of
his great work, and grief at his loss,
show that they were worthy to re-
ceive his services. Enough copies
ought to be printed to place one
within reach OF every teacher and in
every rural library in the State. The
returns from the influence it would
have on the characters of teachers
would surely repay thousand times
the cost, for the editors have given
US a volume that is in itself an in
spiratiOn.

II is alleged that NJ. Leydett. the

Henri Rochefort and other political
tried TO make capital OF the affair and
have demanded an exposure OF the

Nine. Steinheil was with President

LAMPHERE BEGINS
SENTENCE IN
PRISON
LAMPHERE IS FOUND GUILTY or
ARsoN-WAs CHARGED ALSO
WITH KILLING MRS. GUINNESS
AND CHILDREN.

LA PORTE, Ind. Nov. 27.--After
being out for twenty-four hours, the
jury last night returned a veruict find.
Ing Ray Lamphere guilty OF arson.
The prisoner was charged with arson
and the killing of Mrs. Guinness and
her three children, by setting fire to
the Guinness house on April Is.
Lamphere was sentenced 10 the
state penitentiary at Michigan City
Tor an indeterminate term OF from two
TO twenty-one years. This sentence
was imposed FIVE minutes after the
verdict was returned. Lamphere will
tegin his sentence today.
Following the announcement of the
verdict and withdrawal OF the jury,
Judge Richter instructed Lamphere to
stand up. The prisoners face looked
haggard and his eyes were downcast.
he held his hands before him. az
though his wrists were still shackled,
and then, just as the church bells In
the city were ringing out, Judge Rich
ter asked him IL he had any reason 70
state why sentence should not be
pronounced. He replied slowly but
distinctly. 81 have none"
The Judge in addition to sentencing
Lamphere to prison, fined him $1,000
ana DISTINGUISHED him for FIVE years.
Attorney Worden, for the defense.
tonight said that motion for new
trial would be made and should IL be
refused. an appeal to the Indiana su-
preme court would follow. Worden
| declared the verdict to be ridiculous.
If he was guilty at ALL" said the
I'M sha .,flt It'll
He should have been acquitted"
The motion for new trial will DO
based on the courts instruction telling
the Jurors that they could find Lamp
here guilty OF arson under the indict-
ment, Should the verdict be reversed.
the State will likely try Lamphere on
one OF the other indictments.
Lamphere In a statement said he
was confident the dead body in the
| fire was that OF Mrs. Guinness, al
though his counsel had tried to prove
otherwise He reiterated his innocence
of setting fire TO the house, though
admitting that he was on the ROAD
and saw the fire that night. He also
declared that he did not see Mrs. Gun
ness kill Andrew Helgelein.
Il have no complaint to make about
the verdict said Lamphere. Things
look pretty blue, but the verdict might
have beer worse"
All the members OF the jury made
the following signed statement:
I'VE hereby say that II was our
Judgment In the consideration Of this
case that the adult body found In the
ruins of the fire was that OF Belle
Guinness and that the case was de-
cided by us on an entirely different
proposition"
But for Jurors Nelson and Travis.
the jury would have sentenced Lamp
here to life Imprisonment. and after
the verdict had been returned one
said they would have decided on man
slaughter had they remembered that
the sentence for that could be made
the same as for arson. None were
for hanging.
