Regardless OF what information the
county authorities may be concealing
about the suicide OF George Freeman.
condemned murderer In the county
jail last Thursday night few hours
before the date of his execution. pop
ular belief Is that he obtained II from
the cell OF Hiram Smedley, although
there Is no accusation that Smedley
himself gave the drug to Freeman.
II is known that Smedley had two
grain tablets of morphine and hyo-
cine and caffeine and other drugs. The
death OF Freeman was a typical cases
OF morphine poisoning, and the an
alysis of his stomach at the Louis
vile Research laboratory showed
strong traces of morphine and slight
er traces of hyocine.
Shortly before the date OF execu-
ton and before the death watch went
on duty there were opportunities for
Freeman to secure the drug. with or
without Smedlsy's knowledge. He
may have secured 1t through some
other inma,e of the jail. OF a visitor.
Few people will believe that Smedley
was willing party to the transac-
ton.

Freeman Con eaerafe
Seen TO Ran From Cen

1t is generally understood that the
authorities have a well defined clew
as to the identity OF the person who
gave the dose to Freeman. and that
prosecutions will follow the coroner's
inquest.
Since the suicide and a strong and
a strong suspicion that Smedley
might take an overdose himself some
night. the drug has been removed
out OF his reach. though he is allowed
to use his regular dose OF eight
grains several times a day.
1t is known that the person sus-
pected of giving the morphine to
Freeman was seen to run from his
cell the day before Freeman killed
himself. and the officials are now
engaged in tracing the crime to that
person. Accessory to murder is the
offense of the guilty person, who is
liable to extreme penalty of the law.
No further efforts were made to-
day to produce more evidence of the
insanity of Smedley before the coun-
ty attorney.
County Judge Lightfoot who pre-
ferred the charges against Smedley.
says he will not hear or hold any
lunacy inquest. on that account.

Washington. June 3O.--With the
tarin schedules disposed of and the
door locked against the intrusion OF
amendments upon them the senate
finally entered upon consideration Of
the income and corporation tax CUES
tlons as connected with the tariff
bill.
While the senate was more than
four hours in formally coming to the
question of the taxation OF incomes
the subject received more or less in
dIvidual attention. and II was during
that stage OF the proceedings that the
most interesting occurrence of the
day took place. This was the an
nonncement OF the real attitude Of
Chairman Aldrich OF the finance COM
mlttee towards the corporation tax
provision. which he had introduced at
the Instance OF President Taft.
AIdrich's statement.
II had for some time been whIs-
pered around the senate corridors
that the Rhode Island senator had be-
come an advocate OF a tax on the
earnings OF corporations as the most
effective means OF defeating the gen.
eral income tax amendment TO the
pending bill. Aidrich stated his own
position, which was 81 accordance
with the rumors. He spoke in re-
Spouse to question from Clay and
in so many words confessed his advo-
cacy OF a corporation, tax as means
OF defeating the income tax.
He, added another reason, which
was that he thought for the newt year
or two there would be a deficit in the
treasury receipts. which he was will
ing 10 have made good by income
that would result from the proposed
corporation tax. with this service
performed he thought the law could
and would be materially modified n

blow to the girls mother was more
terrible because II was she who had

With only one amendment pending
