MURDERED

STRANGE MURDER CASE.
(Herald Specially

Decatur, Ala, Oct. 3.-The case of
Bob Clemmons, who is charged with
the murder of the Edmondson fam
lily, came up for it's second trial to-
day in the Morgan county court. The
case is one of the most mysterious
with which the courts of this county
have ever had to deal and the crime
itself one of the most horrible in the
criminal annals of Alabama
The victims of the tragedy, which
occurred more than year ago, were
Tom Edmondson, his aged mother,
his wife and two children The scene
of the crime was the home of the
Edmondsons at Woodland Mills, this
county. The home and barn were
burned and in their ruins were found
parts of the remains of Edmond
sons wife and two children, but not
the slightest trace of Edmondson or
his mother has ever been found,
which fact has led to a supposition
that Edmondson himself might have
been the murderer and that he and
his mother escaped alive
On the other hand, strong circum-
stantial evidence pointed to Bob |
Clemmons as the murderer Imme-
diately after the discovery of the
crimes Clemmons was taken into Gus
tody and has been confined in Jail
here ever since. At his first trial
he was convicted and sentenced to
for life An appeal was
taken to the supreme court and that
tribunal reversed the verdict and re-
manded the case for another trial.

Will Be the Attraction at the Airdome
This Week.
The Port Arthur News says:

| The Port Arthur News says:
A good sized audience greeted tn
opening of the Rogers for tn

at the prices charged, was far abov
the average. There were pictures
good vaudeville and a sketch in which
number of the members of the com
pany took part in way which show
ed the versatility of the performers
The Lemley people have the abilit!
to entertain in several directions
judging from the performance giver
last evening.
In the first part the noticeable fea
ture was that the musical numbers
were given by people who have good
voices and know how to use them
and with the assistance of other mem
bers of the company who are above
the average as performers on differ.
ent instruments, there were several
numbers which were most pleasing,
notably those of Miss Dorothy Gibson
and Mr.. Lemley. Both deserved the
encores they received and the latter
in his song, "Out Where the Breakers
Roar" adds a touch of stage work
which is effective and pleasing.
In the vaudeville part King, the bal
ancing artist, does some exceptional
ly clever feats in the way of sup
porting on different parts of his fea-
lures anything from a broom straw
to wagon wheel and from burning
paper cone to a boy in chair, and
concludes the act with some high
which apparently exceeds the

There are other good numbers, and
if the standard of the work shown
in the final sketch last evening is
kept up, there should be good audi
ences all week 1.-THE Prince of

tation of Mrs. Temples Telegram,

NEW STAR SHINES
At OPERA START
Reqina ViCarino Is Accorded a
Great Reception as Singer
and Actor in Lucia
BY FLORENCE BosARD LAWRENCE

BY FLORENCE BOSARD LAWRENCE
Worthy grand opera at popular prices
proved its success last night at the
Auditorium, when the Beyani opera
singers made their initial appearance
before an audience which crowded the
theater even to the topmost galleries.
Good singers, an excellent orchestra
and scenic and costume properties or
merit combined to furnish the local
music lovers with treat such as they
have rarely enjoyed here. The triumph
of the singers was immediate ana lne
enthusiasm which swept the mousse
gave them confidence and enabled
them to do their very best, which IS
POSSIBLE only when singers and listen
ers are completely en- rapport.
Donizettfs opera Lucia" was the
bill last night, and served admirably
to introduce the remarkable young
soprano. Regina Vicarino. This singer,
still in her early twenties' received
what was unquestionably the greatest
welcome ever accorded on local stage
to any singer as little known and as
unheralded as she. From the moment
of her first appearance she won and
held her audience. Her voice mas all
the range and limpidity of an Ideal
coloratura The upper register is clear
and brilliant, and the lower tones
wonderfully vibrant and rlcn lot 81
coloratura voice. She sings apparently
without effort, and throughout this
onera responded to encores again and
again, repeating even the wonderful
aria. of the mad scene in the fourth
act. nd achieving the same purllng
trills. the same scintillant birdlike
arpeggios. She sang this fiorid orna-
mental music with a delicacy and per-
lection of ntonation which marks 1t
easily one of the greatest vocal read
ines of the role ever given in this
city. Dramatically this young singer
is also far removed from the stereo-
typed grand opera soprano with the
two or three stilted gestures to which
they have accustomed us.
BATTAIN ALSO SCORES
Eueenio Battain, whose splendld
tenor voice is already familiar TO Los
Angeles audiences, essayed the role
of Edgardo. His success last night
was in accord with his previous good
work and he enacted the role, when
was particularly suited to the tense
dramatic quality of his voice, in eX-
cellent manner. Histrionically, Bat
tain has improved tremendously since
his former appearances, and he evinees
not only ability of high order, but
thorough studiousness. His duets with
Vicarino We're beautifully done, and
his solos delighted his hearers.
Achille Albert sang the part or
Henry and Alexander BeVani was cast
as Bide the Best. Both these singers
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1910-11-01

are men of long experience, and thor
oughly familiar with all the traditions
of grand opera. Their work was ad-
mirable throughout the opera. Helen
Newcombe is a young singer of this
city whose advent on the stage was
interesting to her friends last night.
She appeared to advantage In the
small part of Alice, and William Gui-
lani sang Arthur in impressive man
ner and pleasant young voice whose
possibilities seem yet unrealized.
An orchestra entirely commensurate
with the needs of the singers was d.
rected by Robert Francini and the
overture was especially delightful. The
chorus finds little opportunity in
Lucia" but is evidently that most
unusual thing in grand opera-young
and good looking-so much the mar
riage scene of the opera permitted US
to know.
TONIGHT's PROGRAM
The bill for this evening, "Cavalleria
Rusticana," followed by 81 Pagliacci,"
will serve to introduce an entirely new
group of singers. The casts are:
"Cavalleria Rusticana" - Santuzza,
Anna Frery; Lola, Edmee de Dreux;
Mama Lucia, Helen Newcombe; Alto,
Secci Corsi; Turiddu, Umberto Sacchet-
til Roberto Francini, conductor.
