ASSAULT WITH INTENT
To COMMIT MURDER
Metsker, of the Plymouth Democrat Makes
Felonious Assault on Bert Altman,
of the Boston Store, on the Corner of
Michigan and Laporte Streets.

Sheriff Voreis for the arrest OF
Raymond Metsker on the charge
OF assault with intent to COM
NIT murder, but before the war
rant could be served, Metsker
fled from the city and the author
tiles have not been able to To-
cate him.
There is positive evidence that
Raymond Metsker and his
brother. Clay w. Metsker. left
Plymouth together in an auto
mobile about FIVE O'Clock in the
afternoon. CLAW Metsker drove
the machine to his residence and
c. WIS wife was seen carrying
from the house to the autono-
bile what seemed to be a suit
case wrapped in a shawl. After
depositing it in the machine she
returned to the house and was
seen TO carry two packages from
the house. which were also
olaced in the automobile !:
some other arrangements were
made and then Clay w.
Metsker called GAN right
Ray" and Raw ran out of the
house and lard down in the back
seat OF the automobile. which
was driven rapidly north, by
Rays brother.
Clay w. Metsker walked into
Plymouth about midnight Mon
day night. He was coming to
Plymouth over the Leesburg
read in his automobile, travelling
raoidlv west and did not see the
Michigan road when he struck it.
The result was a mixture of
Clay, muck and machinery that
almost demolished the machine,
battered Clay w. Metsker's head
and face almost as badly as the
machine and necessitated the hir-
ing of two teams to get the ma
~iine to Plymouth Tuesday
morning.
Clay w. Metsker cannot be
Iarrested for compounding a
felony. because Raymond Nets
ker is his brother and the law al
lows a brothers assistance in
efforts to- escape.
All that RAYMOND Metsker ex-
poets to gain by fleeing from the
city, is evidently more time to
prepare for his defense, as he
will be arrested in the future.
Witnesses. however. some
times die or leave the country,
and sometimes are induced to
give testimony different from
statements made at the time a
criminal offense is committed.
but the Metskers are IN bad
way just now and are seeking
time to prepare plans to evade
Justice.
| RAYMOND Metsker is about )
feet. 6 inches tall. is slender. has
red hair and weighs 125 pounds.
Persons seeing him will confer

TELEPHONE COMPANY'S
LINE PROVES TO BE
VERY ALIVE.
Ray Mckinney and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hibray Suffer Burns from
Electric Current.

There was a broken electric
wire hanging from the line to
the ground Monday in the
alley east OF Thayer street and
just north OF Nursery street.
Ray Mckinney, boy of about
Is years OF age attempted to pick
it UP. 1t was a live wire and
Ray received a shock
that knocked him to the ground.
He was unable to let loose of it
and yelled for help. John Strum-
beck heard his cries and ran to
his assistance. He got a stick
and after some effort was able
tc pry the wire loose from his
hands. Mr.. Hibray heard the
noise and ran to help release the
boy and took hold OF the wire.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1910-06-30

As soon as ne touched it he wa:
thrown backward to the ground
His wife caught hold of the wire
bray and she too was knocked
at the same time as did Mr.. Hi
bray and she too was knocked
instantly to the ground. John
and Jasper Emnons came to the
rescue and with sticks released
Mrs. HibrayS hands.
Young McKmney's hands were
severly burned and his pants,
where the wire had touched
them, were smoking and burn
ing. Mrs. Hibray's hands were
blistered by the live wire and
Mrs. Hibray was also burned on
the hands. Mr.. Strumback was
the only one who was not injur-
ed, lne exercising prudence in not
touching the wire.
The accidents caused a great
for the moment in
that neighborhood. The screams
cif the boy and OF the woman as
she fell caused the people to be-
lieve that serious accident had
occurred and they ran with haste
to the scene.
\ telephone call was sent to
the electric light plant and the
broken wire was taken up. 1t is
not known now long the live
wire had been down, but it is
fortunate that more serious ac-
,ident did not occur.

RECITAL At
SOUTH BEND
MISS HORTENSE DRUM
MOND FORMERLY OF
PLYMOUTH SCORES
IN RECITAL.
The First Public Appearance of
Gifted Contralto Singer
Was Made at Oliver
Theatre.

A number of Plymouth people
went to South Bend Friday
to attend the song recital given
by Miss Hortense Drmnnond at
the Oliver theatre Friday night.
Miss Drummond is the daughter
ot Atty. and Mrs. Charles P.
Drummond. They resided in
this city until few years ago,
and are very we'll known here.
Concerning the recital the South
Bend News says:
Miss Drummond'S work was
remarkable for the full tones.
which characterize her voice a
contralto OF wide range. Her
manner, simple and unaffected,
and clear enunciation added
much to the effectiveness OF her
numbers. The program which
included lyrics in English, Ger
man and French afforded an ex-
cellent opportunity for a display
not only OF the full sweetness of
her tones, but decided dramatic
ability.
Her work at the New England
Conservatory of Music this year
won exceptional recognition, a
token of which was the scholar
ship recently awarded her by the
alumni association of that insti-
tuition. Her instructors among
whose names are some of the
foremost composers and musi-
clans of the country have spoken
of her in words of highest praise.
The complete success and enthu
Siastic reception which was
given her last night was an add
ed assurance of her unsual abil-
ity,
gkinong her best numbers were
Cladwick's "DarHa" and La
Charmante Marguerite" from the
old. French, to which her voice
gave a dancing lit and "Nur
Ner Die Sallnsucht" of Tschaik-
owsky and "My Heart at Thy
Dear Voice" from Samson and
Delilah.' Amy Woodford-Fin
den's 'Kasl1miri Song" and LESS
Than the Dust" were sung in
costume and the latter was a
dramatic climax to the evenings

ter OF Mr. and Mrs. {. T.
Drummonds. She has been for
two years student at the New
England conservatory and is a
member of Alpha Chi Omega.
In addition to her musical abil-
ity she is among the prominent
members of the younger social
circle. She will spend the sum-
mer teaching in the city and will
probably return in the fall to
Boston, where she will take up
her work at the conservatory.

Melville Weston Fuller was the sew
enth chief justice ofthe Supreme court
OF the United States, and had held, Of
flee for twenty-five years out of the
120 since the organization Of the court
In 1890. q,
He was, however, a down east Yam
kee by birth and inheritance, having
been born In Augusta Me-, on Feb. IL.
1888. His education was received in
Bowdoin college, and following the ex-
ample of a long line of legal ancestry,
he studied law and set up In the prac-
ttce thereof in Augusta In 1855. There
he was city attorney and the editor of
a Democratic newspaper for a few
years, but In 1856, at the & of TWEEN
his chief work as a practicing lawyer
was accomplished.
The appointment of Chief Justice
Fuller by President Cleveland on April
30, 1888, caused considerable partisan
feeling. Chief Justice Fuller was a
life long Democrat and had taken an
active interest In the councils of his
party.
An intimate friend of Stephen A.
Douglass, he had remained a Democrat
throughout the civil war though not
identifying himself with the copper.
head section of the country. His DO
litical career comprised service in a
constitutional convention of his state.
a service for one term In the Illinois
legislature and representation in the
national Democratic conventions of
1854, 1872, 1879 and 1880.
In The convention of 1875 he placed
T. A. Hendricks in nomination. Thus,
while by no means a politician, be had
been active In is party and In the
high state of party feeling existing in
1888 the presentation of his name by
a Democratic president to a Republic
an senate was the occasion of much
Republican rancor.
The nomination was duly referred
10 the senate judiciary committee,
which held it back for nearly three
months and then reported 1t without
recommendation" The senate, how
ever, on July 20 confirmed the nomina-
ton.

are prominently mentioned. These are
Governor Charles e. Hughes of New
York, who Ia to become a justice of
the supreme court next fall, and Lloyd

With three vacancies now on the

bring the work Of the court to a stand
still, six justices constituting a quorum
necessary for the transaction of bust
ness.
In connection with the chief justice

Justice Moody many other names were
mentioned in speculation as to seats
on the supreme bench. Among them
