Sisters Known to Have Been With

FAEtNERSBURG, ". Va, Aug g.
After three days Of investigation, dur
lnE which more than a score of wit
nesses have been heard, The coroners s
jury and the county and city authori-
ties are stiI without any definite clue
as % who poisoned and robbed judge
James A. Watson, whose body was
found on the porch or his home here
last Saturday morning.
In fact, as the iuveslIea ion proceeds
the mystery in the Watson murder case
seems but TO increase. The two Metz
girls, who were arrested IS suspects
but later released, were q -aln under
the third degree" today, IS tAev have
been for two days pasc.
Their only connection With the case
seems 30 b. that they were among the
party hat gathered IN Watson-s Office
the night before his body was found
The TWO girls, 10 one Of whom the dead
attorney had been attentive for some
time. are sullen and indignant that
they have been daily summoned 10
Wood county courthouse.
The authorities have given up the
idea that the Metz girls had anv real
connection with the crime. Claude -.
oimUs. also arrested as a suspect has
also been eZCnerated. Simms was q
partner Of Watson in the oil business.
Jury Cropping Blindly-

Witnesses have been found who can tell
Of Judge Wats0n's movements earlier
In the night. but no light has been shed
upon what he did after he left the Jolly
party HC his Office and started home

The manner ~ which Watson was
killed IS itself mystifyins. An auts7sy

Way to BelOit.
NO HORRORS FOR HER
Chaps Hands in JOY at Thought
of Things Agrarian.
/ Mrs. Thorpe Returning Home,
Leaves Her in Happiness.

Olive Sell, eleven years old, has been
taken to the state Industrial school at
Beloit by Mrs. L. E. Thorpe, the po-
lice matron. Little Olive will be
taught the fundamental rudiments of
being good girl by those in charge of
the Beloit school; and some day, per-
haps, she will return to Topeka a real
good young woman.
Olive Sell isn't naturally a naughty
girl. The child's story is hemmed in
by the local influences that brought
her sorrow and were leading her to a
path of shame and sorrow.
One day not so many months ago
olives father and mother quarreIled
They decided to separate and each
took a llfe's course that best suited
! their tastes. Olive went to live with
| her father. Some weeks later the
father sent his daughter to a board
ing house to live. The influences of
the boarding house were not conducive
to the proper training of a child's
mind and playmates grew to look at
! Olive with sort of fear. Her rapid
! ly developed wild ways were not
shared by other children
| 1t was when this condition of affairs
reached the mother that she took
! Olive to her own home Her earnest
efforts to change the child's course in
sired and Mrs. Thorpe was told of the
situation. She made arrangements to
take Olive to the home at Beloit 1t
was the first time the child had ever
| seen the big green farms. As the train
! sped along its way to the industrial
home Olive sat looking from the win
/ dow at the herds of cattle the fat hogs
and focks of chickens and geese Never
! in her short life had Olive seen such
things before.
! 'Oh, Mrs. Thorpe, isn't it great. -
| she cried, as the tears sprang to her
eyes. Il wish 1 could be away out
| here in the country all the time, where
I could see the horses and cattle and
chickens. 1 just know I could be a
really good girl if I stayed out here
away from all those people, They will
let me stay. won't they Mrs Thorpe %
! When the industrial home was
reached, the conditions did not hold
the horrors for Olive Sell that most
people see in the home. She saw q
chance to work, to dress like other
children, to enjoy a real home that
will shape a course for her future
days of great fun in the green field,
and genuine pleasure in sitting out OF
the prairie alone and studying nature
her little hands with joy at the
thought of all these things and wheI
Mrs. Thorpe returned to Topeka, Olive
Sell was the happiest child in the in
