IMPORTANT WITNESS IN
MURDER CASE IS DEAD
State Depended on Testimony of Flo
Richardson in Prosecution
of Hugh Meyers.

In the death yesterday Of Flo Richard
son, a negro woman, it is said the prose-
eUtiOn lost one Of its most important links
in the chain Of circumstancia1 evidence
against Hugh Meyers. the cripple, of COM
plicity in the murder of John c. Barnett.
the young painter and paper hanger who
was killed in room g Of the American
house recently.
The death of the Richardson woman
came so suddenly that no time was given
to permit the taking Of deposition.
week ago Saturday night she was at
police headquarters and confronted Msy-
eTs with her statement which refuted the
story told by him to the police. On Mon
day she was removed to ST. marks hos
pital, suffering from pneumonia. and yes
terday morning she suCCumbed to the dis
ease. &
The importance Of the evidence of~thA
cOlOred woman was in its Tefutation -
Meyers story that he had retired to his
hall cot shortly after Z o'clock on the
night Of the murder and had remained
there until next morning. The woman told
the police that she had seen Meyers ac-
company two men to room 42 in the
American house shortly before y o'clock
on that night also that after Meyers
had been in the room 4 little while he
had come out into the hallway and walked
to his cot and after pulling aside the
window curtain had sat down on the cot
for several minutes He had then arisen,
she said, and went back to the room.
ana was IN there Tor at least han an
hour. She said Meyers had also asker
her TO go TO room No A to take a drink
with the men there.
A week ago Saturday night the woman
repeated her story I'm the presence Of
Meyers in the detectives room at head
quarters, and Meyers made no effort ut
contradiction, at the same time. however,
refusing to make any explanation.
corroborative Testimony.
The police believe they have evidence
cOTToboTative of what the woman told IN
the evidence Of two colored men who were
companions of the woman at the time
she saw Meyers.
Meyers still shows the almost careless
demeanOT so characteristic of him, in
spite of his youthful years and the serb
Gus charge against him, since his impris-
OnmeDt. He expresses confidence in his
ability to clear himself Of completely in
the murder, but has yet offered no eX-
PLANTATION for the appearance of the blood
stains on his CrutCh, shoe and hat.

Magazine Tells Of Gary Patch
Putnams Says


Putnam's for March contains an in
teresting account of the making of
Gary, the magic city of indiana. The
attitude of the town and its builders
in regard to the saloon and the pres
emit curious situation there are thus de-
scribed: 1T was never the intention
of the Steel corporation to make Gary
a prohibition town, but it was never
the intention that 1t should become a
saloon town either. To this end it de-
cided in advance just where liquor
might be sold, and the deeds to all
other property contain the stipulation
that no liquor shall be sold on the
premises. There is one large saloon,
which dispenses beer principally, on
Broadway, not far from the entrance
to the plant, and there is a barroom in
one of the hotels. This was deemed
sufficient for the immediate needs of
the town. But, unfortunately, there
was a miscalculation in the original
plans for Gary and it presently became
apparent that more land was needed
than had been acquired A part of the
desired land, having a frontage of six
blocks on one side of the continuation
of Broadway, could not then be pur-
chased as acre property. Indeed, II
could not be purchased at all for any
price the company was willing to pay
the owners preferring to subdivide and

The board of trustees he1d,the sched-
uIed adjourned meeting Saturday even
ing at D. m. This meeting was call
ed for the purpose of discussing with
the town engineer, Melton, the prac-
ticability OF lowering some of the es-
tablished grades on the different
streets. A large number of property
owners were present and were given
an opportunity to express their opin-
ion in this matter.
The grades were lowered on the south
side of Martha street six inches, on
Second street 1 foot. on Hart street 1
foot.
Sidewalks will be laid on Martha.
Hart, Second, Third and Fourth streets.
This makes about four miles OF side
walks. BY far the greater majority,
in fact. al property owners are OPP
posed to the curb and gutter. IF they
bring a little more pressure to bear
the curb will surely be knocked out.
II the streets were all filled up to
grade after the curb and gutter is in
then there would be no objection. In
some places the curb would set 2 feet

Independent because the control OF the
government of Gary was not in the
hands of the Steel corporation or its
subsidiary companies, but was abso-
luteIy in the control OF the workmen
who were engaged in building the town
and plant and such others as had been
attracted by the opportunities that
new town always offers. In brief, Gary
was ruled by transients-by men who
would move nwhen the town and
plant were finally constructed-and the
majority of these men wanted beer and
plenty of it. So the Patch fourished.
Saloonkeepers f1ocked TO it, boarding
houses were erected and large part

took his position because he found that
the finances Of the state were enough
money during the two years to meet
the present delcit and pay the heavy ap
propriations that the legislature was
proposing But the legislature paid
little attention to what the governor
said and went right ahead making the
appropriations. 1t looked like a GER
tainty that the governor would veto
the appropriations bill and call a spec
ial session. In fact he let this be
known. But even this did not stop the
legislature, and when it was seen. Sat-
urday night, that the bill would carry
more money than the state will receive
the governor sent word to the senate
and the house that he would sign the
appropriation bill If it was reasonable
and If it had the sanction and approval
OF Reed Reed. the deputy auditor of
state Reed is a republican, but this
makes no difference to Marshall He
said that if Reed would tell him that
the appropriations made by the bill
could be paid by the state he would
sign the bill. So the senate and the
house appointed a conference commit
tee to get together on the bill with
Reed and frame it up in proper shape
so it could be passed today. This COM
mittee consisted of Representative Bah
cock. of LAGRANGE and Steuben, and
Strickland of Hancock, and Senators
Blan, of Green, and Mccullough. of
Madison. This committee spent all day
yesterday with Reed in room at the
Claypool hotel and had bill ready to
report back to the two houses today
Wants sinking Fund Restored.
Governor Marshall also sent to the
senate and the house Saturday night a
/ special message requesting the legisla-
/ ture to re-enact the sinking fund tax
levy for the next two years. This levy
/ is now three cents on each 500 of tax
able property in the state and 1t has
produced a sinking fund amounting to
nearly 100000, the purpose OF which
is to pay the state debt. The governor
urged that this money now on hand be
used for the payment Of the appropria-
atoms IN order to avoid either q de-
J felt or a higher tax levy. This woulC
