intends to roam the seven seas. secure
from annoying relatives and design
ing employees. No man is believed to
have had so many enemies as Ham
mond. Because of his generosity to
employees. some relatives had the mil
lionaire inventor spirited away to a
sanitarium on his sixty-ninth anniver-
sary. They declared he was insane.
1t cost Hammond no little money and
worry to prove the allegation un-
founded.
Hammond was accompanied by his
secretary, Holmes; his nurse, masseur.
! chauffeur, his pet dogs. n canary and
his phonograph.
BY the time he is 100 years old
Hammond expects to come back and
live ashore. Then he will present his
| boat to the government as a model
of marine architecture. The Lounger

holding Franklin, and then to have the
entire matter drag along until forgotten
by the people, when the original plan

accused on probation might be put

Both sides insisted, however, when
court convened. that they would fight
the case. Their decision was subject
to as sudden change as when the
McNamaras pleaded guilty.
AS evidence the business men have
carried their point for the soft pedal
in connection with the investigation,
is the admission that Ortie McManigal
will be taken to Indianapolis next week.
He is to be used to corroborate the
evidence of a member Of the Inner
circle" of the iron workers union,
who is said to ha&e agreed to tell all
he knows about the alleged dynamiting
conspiracy.
Orders received here are that Nc
