HARRIS TRIAL NEXT THURSDAY
DATE SELECTED AT CONFER
ENCE IN ROCKVILLE.
Rumored Change of Venue Will Be
Asked in Poole Murder Case.
Story of Crime.
Special Correspondence Of. The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, November 20, 1909.
Oliver H. Harris will be placed on trial
in the circuit court here Thursday morn
ing on an Indictment charging him with
the murder Of John henson Poole. The
date was selected at a conference here
today, participated in by States Attor-
ney Waters. Edward c. Peter. attorney
for the prisoner. and Judges Henderson
and Motter. 1t will be one Of very
few times within the history of the coun-
ty that court has been held Thanksgiving
day.
Neither States Attorney Waters nor
Mr.. Peter will discuss the case. but it is
rumored that a change Of venue will be
asked, and it has also peen stated that
the defendant will plead guilty with the
understanding that the sentence will be
life Imprisonment. There Is probably no
more foundation for these reports than
the usual speculation.
If the case does go to trial here, it IS
believed much difficulty will be expert
enced in selecting jury. as probably no
crime within the history of the county
has been more widely discussed.
Used Ratchet and Rifle.
The crime with which Harris is charged
was committed July q in a cabin on the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal, q short dis
lance the other side OF Travilah, this
county, where Poole lived alone. Poole
was struck on the head with a Ratchet.
and also shot in the head with rifle.
but his badly decomposed body was not
discovered until three weeks later, when
the murdered mans father, who became
alarmed at the continued absence of his
son from his usual haunts, instituted a
tm hidden IN
a closet in the hut.
Harris had just been arrested for a
murderous assault upon his aunt, Mrs.
Gwynn Harris. whom he struck on the head
with Il piece or iron and then shot with
revolver as the two were crossing a
field near their homes at Travilah, and,
as he and Poole had been associates, he
was at once suspected in connection with
Poole'S death
ConfesSes to Crime.
An investigation resulted in the weav-
ing of a web Of strong circumstantial evil
dence against the youth, and shortly
after being taken to the Jail at Baltimore
for safekeeping he broke down under a
sweating and confessed that it was he
who had caused Poole's death.
The prompt arrest of Harris following
the attack --pon his aunt was due to the
young mans father, Jefferson D. Harris, a
respected resident of the Travilah neigh
borhOod. Immediately after assaultinS
his aunt young Harris disappeared. and it
was thought he had left the county.
The second night following the assault,
however, he walked into his fathers home
i'll state of exhaustion from worry ana
lack of food. having been in hiding in
the attic of the public school building at
Travilah. He was put to bed and early
The next morning was placed under arrest
by Sheriff Mullican. who had been APP

GAMBLERS DISAPPOINTED
AT SARATOGA SITUATION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The horde of
gamblers who rushed to Saratoga at
the opening of h racing season in the
belief that the lid" would be off and
hat gambling would be wide open,
have returned d~isgruntled and minus
their railroad fares They reported
that before going to Saratoga they lac
been given to understand that not
only would Canield's famous place be
open, but that roulette wheels, faro
banks and all other kinds of games
would run unrestricted with the doors
off the hinges" Several gamblers went
to Saratoga in advance and leased
buildings and fitted them up with costly
gambling paraphernalia. These and
others sent word to New York for all
of the gamblers M game operators to
come to the Springs at once.
There was a large pilgrimage to the
resort, but the gamblers were disap-
pointed. They say that not a single
game was permitted to open, and that
they were given to understand that
there would be no gambling during or
after the racing season.

DIOCESAN UNION MAKES DENIAL.

To the Editor of the Newark Star;
Dear Sfr-I wish to inform YOU that
the statement given to the STAR and
published in Tuesday evenings sport
ing edition announcing the suspension
or Joseph A. G. Baudermann of the
Father Mathew T. a. B. Society, and Of
Joseph Moss, of the Catholic Institute
by the Diocesan Union, was entirely
unauthorized and untrue in every sense.
NO such action was taken at the d.
ocesan meeting, and, in fact, it could
not have been taken by the Diocesan
Union, since the power of suspension
is only possessed by the Catholic ANA
teur Athletic League, and the latter
has not done anything whatsoever in
connection with this matter.
/ therefore desire to request that in
justice to these two well-known and
popular athletes you kindly give this
statement as much prominence as you
did to. the original statement in Tues
day nights STAR. l remain, very re-
spectfully, WILLIAM L.. FOX.

Ole Amateur Athletic League of the

PACKEY HOHMANN
SHOWS HIS CLASS
Smashes Kid Alberts in Jig Time
at Browns Gymnasium
in First Round.

Among those showing at the card at
Browns last night was Packey Hob
mann, of New York, who knocked out
Kid Alberts in about two minutes and
thirty seconds of the shiftiest kind of
fighting. Before the bout started
everyone predicted that Alberts,. who
has suffered but one defeat, and that
at the hands of Knockout Brown,
would pack away his little opponent
right off the reel. But how they went
wrong.
Boxing carefully for a short time,
Packey whipped over a right that made
Alberts's knees CULVER. They clinched.
On the break Packey1put over another
that sen his man to the floor. At the
count of seven Alberts got up. Hob
mann stuck his left several times in
his opponents face, thus bringing up
the latter's hands. He brought his
right with a crash plump in the solar
picks. All over.
The way in which he went about his
work was wonderful. Cool and collect
ed, he never wasted a move. This boy
Is a m n will bear watching.

SUGGEST
BILLY BUROETTE
Tiger Leaders Take Kindly to 1t
and Ask That He
Report.

The need OF a catcher to share the
work with Crisp in the Tiger camp Is
troubling Manager Harry Wolverton
and Owner Joseph McGinnity. They
are trying to land a good backstop,
with many disappointments. Some
friends of Billy Burdette. the Bloom
field semi-pro catcher, who is a sta
in his class, have mentioned his worth
to those in control of the Tigers, and
they, it is understood, have asked that
the Bloomfield catcher report at the
Newark grounds as o. as possible for
a tryout. Those who have suggested
Burdette to the Newark club are sure
that Billy can make good.
1t is not known, however, whether
the backstop will play professional
ball. His friends. however, are going
to try to persuade him to try for a
place on the team. He is easily the
best semi-pro catcher in this vicinity.

Games. Ave

The Bloomfield Baseball Club, con-
sidered by most everybody TO be the
best semi-pro team h%ereabouts playing
saturday and holiday baseball, has TWO
Important things on this week. The
first happened today, when the team
went to Asbury Park to play the Oreos
Of that resort. Manager Dodd was OPP
timistic today when he left town, say
ing that besides a good day of soprt'
he expected his team to ring up an
other victory. With that his thoughts
turned toward Saturday, when Archie
Dailey's Watsessing team will play the
second game of the 1909 series at
Bloomfield. This game ought to be
worth going miles to see, judging from
the excellent work in the first game
which resulted in a victory for the
Dodd nine. The game was not won
until the ninth inning, when whey
tripled and Stuart doubled for the o n
tally of the contest.
Young Wolf. the Watsessing pitcher,
by his work In that game, entitled him
self to a high place among semi-pro
pitchers. Archie Daley Is out to win
this game at all costs, and promises
a stronge team than ever for Satur-
day.
At this time the Bloomfield team is
going strongly. Beyond the good pitch
ing and fielding of the team stands its
terrific hitting. Every man on the
team is hitting over 800. There are
several men on this team right now
who can play first-class minor league

second only in importance TO the sur
prising victory of Country Jay at De-
troit last week was the race won by
The Harvester, for while much is ex-
pected of this sterling son of Walnut
Hall and Notelet whenever he starts,
the fact that he won handily n low
cred his record a full second is an in
dication of his real capacity and
augurs we'll for his future. Thu horse
by reason of his rich breeding, his ex-
IRENE beauty and his list of victories
In which he has never lost a heat, has
given him a place in public esteem
rarely held by a trotting horse. The
racing public nave come to look upon
him as invincible, the breeding world
expects him to continue to do justice
to his blood lines, and every enthusiast
watches each race with the hope that
he may continue his successes. At
Detroit he met Beatrice Bellini, a mare
of much class, and one capable of hold
ing her own with the majority of the
horses engaged against her. At Terre
Haute he was forced to his limit, at
the finish of a mile in 2:08A, to over
come the rush Of Lady Jones, and
doubtless many of the followers OF
light harness racing believed that be-
fore many weeks elapsed he would
feel the sting of defeat. Yet his per-
formance, instead of lessening his glory
added to his reputation among those
who knew the Importance that is at
tached to a struggle, to the ability 10
hang on and fight to the end. 1t was
a foregone conclusion after the Terre
Haute meeting that in his next start
The Harvester would win in faster
time and more easily than he did over
the four-cornered track, for in that
race he demonstrated that he could
stand a drive and would not shrink
from a touch of the whip; that he
could race, something that he hat
never before been given an opportunity
to prove.
John Plunkett has placed the gray
pacing mare Daisy P. in the stable o
Ike Hully, and the mare looks anc
acts like she would step some fas
miles this year. Last season she wa'
taken to the track for the first time
and with five weeks work stepped
miles better than 2:25. She goes with.
out the hopples, is good-headed ant
tractable. and there is no apparen'
reason why she should not step righ'
at 2:20 with very little handling.
Opal Star, the chestnut trotting mare
recently placed in the stable of Tx
Hully by F. E. Ballantine, of Demands
Vile, acts like the making of a fas
mare. She is an excellent individual
