LURED TO HIS DEATH.

. | Mr. HarQlDg i. lull, lOTeLuaH
the jury OF inquest into the death o
William S. Chelton, well-knowr
farmer Of Tullus Corner, 10 miles
from CrisGeld, Md, who late Satur
day night was shot by William w
Green, said yesterday that some o.
the testimony taken at the hearing
seemed to indicate improper relations
between Chelton and Mrs Green.
After the hearing before the jury
Green was exonerated. Chelton had
been found beneath Green's house
wounded with shotgun.
The theory which was reported to
have been supported by the dying
mans testimony" said Mr.. Tull,
was not borne out by the testimony
Of Robert Sterling, who carried Chel-
ton home after the shooting. Chelton,
while on the way to his home, gave
Sterling the mechanics grip and told
Sterling he (Chelton) had been lured to
Green's home.
He also told Sterling where 10 find
letters in his barn which would show
that he had been coaxed to Green 5
home. The letters we're found as dc
scribed. One of Chelton's daughters
swore that the writing was that Of Mrs.
Green. Before Chelton would consent
to let Sterling carry him home he in
sisted that Sterling should get his
horse. The horse was found about a
quarter mile from the main country
road and about three-quarters of a
mile from Green's residence.
So far as the sworn statement goes,
these facts were tho only ones given
by Chelton before his death. Although
Green would not admit his wife's guilt,
his testimony showed plainly that he
was suspicious as 10 the relations
between his wife and Chelton. He
admitted that on numerous occasions
he had watched his home by day and
night for two years. urged on by the
rumors he nad heard. On one occasion
he chased man in the dark from
behind his outbuildings. This man IN
making his escape stumbled over .
ditch bank and the next morning at
that particular spot he found some
of Chelton's letters and package OF
tobacco which evidently had slipped
from the fleeing mans pocket.
Green also testified that he called
Chelton, who was under his house, ask
ing him what he was doing coiled up
under here. Not getting any response
to this inquiry, he fired at a part OF the
man which he saw move. The only
wound on the man was one in the
right thigh, about halfway between the
knee and hip. The bone was shattered
and the wound contained the load OF
shot, the gun wad and piece of the
mans clothing.
1T was reported that Green fell out
with .Chgfton because Chelton had shot
stl escaped prisoner, Fred Long, who
| was close friend of Green. As a
matter of fact, Green hardly knew
Long, and no evidence was given that
even brought out the point at all.
"All the testimony given by the
members OF Chelton's 5 family who were
on the witness stand pointed to the
fact that there had been some improper
relations between Chelton and Mrs.
Green.
"One OF the witness testified that
four years ago he saw Mrs. Green and
Chelton come out OF Green's barn at s
O'Clock in the morning. After the in
quest persons found uuder Green's
house blood stains and Chelton's kuife
and package of tobacco.

FELL FROM POLE
WELL KNOWN ELECTRICAL CON-
TRACTOR RECEIVED A SHOCK
AND FELL FROM THE POLE
WRIST BROKEN AND he WAS
PAINFULLY INJURED.

Thomas Manson OF the firm OF
Champlin & Manson, electrical con-
tractors, was severely injured this
morning about IL O'Clock by a fall
from telephone pole near the Egg

was strung on the post. Suddenly
he received a shock which shook him
from his position and he fell to the
ground.
Friends hurried to his side and he
was taken to his home at 719 Fourth

dressed. The attending physician made
an examination of his injuries and
found that his wrist was broken and
that one of his ankles was badly in

ing made of his injuries this afternoon

complained great deal about pains
around the chest. He has been con-
scious all the time and has suffered
intense pain.

POLLOCK HOLDS
Juvenile COURT
TWO BOYS IN COURT THIS MORN
ING CHARGED WITH STEALING
BRASS FROM ENeINE-JUDeE
USED BOYS LANGUAGE TO
MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND.

Judge Pollock held juvenile court to-
day when two boys under 16 years OF
age appeared before him charged with
stealing brass from the ]. 1. Case
Threshing Co, at Casselton. The lads
admitted their guilt
The older of the two boys said that
ne did not lead the younger one into
the crime as the younger one stated
His case was continued over until to-
morrow when he is scheduled to ap-
pear in court
| When the younger lad took the stand
Judge Pollock adopted the Judge Lind
sey style and talked to the lad in the
language of the kid. 1t was rather
amusing to hear the presiding officer
OF the court talk about "cut it out"
and other boyish slang.
Nevertheless the lad did not have a
great deal of trouble in understanding
what was meant. He had some diff
Guilty in grasping what the word pa
role" meant but when its meaning was
explained he was very ready to see
the point. The younger boy had stood
watch while the older lad had taken
the brass.
Judge Pollock paroled the younger
of the two lads who will make UP a
report Of his doing daily and this re-
port will be sent to the clerk of the
district court every week. The lad Is
not to smoke, booze. build shanties and
must go to Sunday school each Sun
day while on parole. He seemed to ap-
preciate the fact that he was to be
given another chance and the boys
father thanked the jurist, with much
feeling in his voice.
The two boys gave the police and
deputy sheriffs hard run for their
money when they were captured last
night. Both had bicycles and when the
officers appeared they jumped on their
wheels and made a get away. Later
the mother of the older boy hid them
in the house while the officers were
searching for the youths. She object
ed to the deputy sheriffs making a
search of the house and attempted to
resist the officers.
One of the boys lives in Fargo and
the other in Casselton. 1t was through
the efforts of the local police that the
lads were taken into custody and the
county officers were very grateful to
the gate city police force.

H. W. crasse. cnicial in charsA
The Washington herald., 1911-03-15
City Gardens.

In awakening the interest of the
Chamber of Commerce in the beauti6-
cation of Washington through city gar
dens, a step has been taken which should
produce effective result. The plan, as
outlined to the organization last night,
is to convert not only front lawns but
vacant lots, into gardens. This is a
simple and inexpensive proposition, and
yet, if it is carried out with universal
cooperation, the National Capital will
be converted into a most attractive city.
Much has already been done by the
Federal government The triangles,
squares, and circles which exist at the
intersections of streets and avenues are
adorned during the spring, summer, and
autumn by the display which the gar
deners OF the public grounds so artisti
oally. provide The proposed move
ment, however. goe> further and ap-
peals to the individual resident to take
personal interest in his own property.
In Rochester, where this particular
phase of civic progress has been highly
developed, the result is most attractive.
Front lawns. back yards, and vacant
lots are transformed into areas of floral
beauty, and all because some one takes
enough trouble to set out a few plants.
Here in Washington the incentive IS
even greater than in Rochester, for in
this city the Federal government sets
the example by its work in the public
reservations.
Not only has this Identification an
uplifting influence, but it also has a
commercial value. Thousands of Wis
itors are attracted every year to the
wonderful display of azaleas and mag
nolias near Charleston, S. c., while the
floral wealth Of Los Angeles and Santa
Barbara make those places famous every
where. Even if this material view be
ignored, however, there is still reason
why the appeal to the citizens of Wash
ington should be needed. There is al
ready deserved pride in the National
Capital. and this sentiment would have
more ample foundation if all the lawns
and yards were literally made to bios
som like the rose.
