Prisoner Assist Officers in Sc
curing Evidence Against Her

Chicago. ILL.,, Nov. Mrs. Louise
Vermilya, formally charged with the
murder of Officer Bisonette, slept
very little last night in the bed In
the county Jail hospital.
Each of her restless moments vas
noted carefully by two detective e
tailed to watch her, and NOR AN
one attempt was made duri the
night to break down the iroa nerve
of the woman and obtain from her
confession concerning some OF the
twelve deaths now laid at her door
by teh police.
Two other women in Chicago slept
very little during the night.
Vengeance in their hearts stirred
them to wakefulness.
They are Lydia Rivard, fiancee OF
Arthur Bisonette, and Elizabeth No
Ian, fiancee of Frank Brimkamp,
Mrs. Vermilya's son, who died at her
home under circumstances similar
and equally as mysterious as those
surrounding the death of Bisonette.
These two young Women promise
to be nemeses of Mrs. Vermilya.
Each has already given to the
police much evidence which is con-
sidered damaging to Mrs. Vermilya.
Each has told the police much
which may lead to the arrest of
other persons in connection with
the charge against Mrs. Vermilya.
Each has been loud in denunciation
of Mrs. Vermilya and has declared
a determination to have vengeance
for the death of the man she loved.
Although still showing some eff
fects from the large dose of arsenic
which she poured into her food from
the shaker of white pepper" which
detective, ignorant of it's deadly
contents, had handed her, Mrs. Yer
milya retained her calm, cool COM
posture throughout her. wakeful
hours.
Chemists today began an examina-
ton for traces of poison in the body
Of Frank Vermilya.
Others are already making similar
examination of the intestines OF
Richard T. Smith, another boarder at
Mrs. Vermilya's house of death. who
died under peculiar circumstances.
Following the exhuming of the bod
les of Vermilya and Smith Coroner
Hoffman announced that in justice
to the public the remains of seven
other persons who died in Mrs. YER
milya's home would be taken from
their graves for examination. The
police believe they can trace three
other deaths to Mrs. Vermilya, and
if so the bodies of these people will
be exhumed also.
C. C. Bryan, officiating undertake
err at many of the funerals of the
members of Mrs. Vermilya's home,

time a boarder at her home, is in

kamp's fiancee.
did Frank Brimkamp have any
insurance." she was asked.
Eyes, he carried $4,000, but Mrs.
Vermilya did not get the face value.
But she got more than $1,000, l
know. She placed the policy in the
hands of Mr.. Boysen to collect. She
told me that Boysen paid the prem
iums on another policy of $4,000
on his life. She said it was payable
to himself, but she may have been

C0LDSSOROUCH Wins
IN MARYLAND FIGHT
Republicans Elect Him Governor
by About 1000 Majority
STATE TICKET SPLIT
While Whole State Has Not Been
Heard from Returns So Far Show
What Will be Final Result

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 8.-AS a
singing rebuke to the Democratic
machine, which perpetrated the
frauds in the recent State primaries,
| Maryland voters have elected
Phillips Lee Goldsborough, Republi-
can, governor of the State. Mr..
Goldsborough has carried Baltimore
by 1000 majority, and latest re-
turns indicate that the counties will
increase this to 5000.
With German to defeat went prac-
tically all the Democratic candidates
on the city and State ticket. Messrs.
Bond, Stump and Dawkins, Demo-
Gratis, were elected to the supreme
bench of Baltimore.
The House may be Republican, but
the Senate, because of hold-over
members, will continue Democratic.
Thomas McNulty, who started the
grand jury probe which resulted in
the exposure of frauds in the pri-
maries, and who was an Independent
candidate for sheriff. of Baltimore,
was defeated.
Mr.. Soper, the candidate for at
torney general on the same ticket is
elected, and Mr.. Cunningham, can
didate for comptroller, has an even
! chance to pull through.
The legislative ticket in Baltimore
city and in the counties is divided.
The Republicans have made slight
gains in both houses, but not enough
to overcome the Democratic ma
jority.
Surprise In Baltimore.
The surprise of the campaign was
| the vote in Baltimore city. This had
been practically conceded to German
before the election. He had the sup
port of the whole organization, and
| of powerful interests in addition. He
had every apparent advantage, and
the Republican managers hoped
merely to keep his majority down
to one or two thousands at most.
The counties had naturally been
| looked to for Goldsboorugh ma
| jority, and when Western and Sou
thern Maryland came up this morn
| ing with nearly 5000 for the Re
publican candidate, it was easily seen
that the Democratic counties in the
central section and on the Eastern
| Shore could not overcome that lead.
| Allegany's vote has been slow on
account of the big local ticket, but
it is now apparent that this county
has given Goldsborough handsome
| majority. Carrot has done the same,
and Washington and Frederick have
probably given him smaller mapori-
| ties.
| Vote Not Yet Received.
The vote from Southern Mary
land which has been Republican all
a..--e,, nas not been received in COM
plete form by the headquarters OF
either party here.
The Democrats, however, concede
the group of counties as a whole to
Goldesborough, but claim that
Prince Georges will go Democratic.
Anne Arundel is in doubt, while
Caroline has gone for GoldsbOrOugh.

 It cannot be otherwise than admitted that baseball team in one of the great leagues of the country. is the best ad- Vertising medium a city can have.
 This is the judgment of every enter prising civic body in this country.
 Ask any man who has studied munich pal publicity and he will give you an affirmative answer. 4f
 Montgomery is known all over the country as a progressive city and the faet that it has a representative club in the Southern league has in the past, and will in the future, extend its reputation tnrougnout communities of the land, even where no systematic advertising of tho city's opportunities has been made ef- feotive,
 Every progressive citizen is proud Of the Montgomery baseball club and wishes to see it prosper and continue as A com ponent part of the Southern league.
 Chattanooga News: Up in a northern home lies game, little Scotty Walker in a state of practical paresis, and the very fact that this gritty little Cracker in fielder is now deprived of his livelihood calls in unrnstakable terms for the aboli- tion of the balk in the Southern league or more properly speaking the enforce ment of the national ruling in regard to the balk, by Southern league umpires. When we say balk, we also include the so-ealled half balk, as the latter does not exist.

 Also, be 1t whispered, the Atlanta Base ball. association isn't at all inclined to rest on its oars. A, couple of players who started well aren't keeping up the gait that was expected of them. And the Atlanta association may decide very soon that a change is necessary.

In the absinthated Arcade of the Pelt- cans, the mermidons of Manager Moles- worth will begin a series this afternoon.
 Having departed the grim-besmirched Bfnkens with a gnawing disappointment that the rain of yesterday deprived them of certain and joyous victory, the pent- up wrath of the bold Barons should flare forth this afternoon to find expression in the lustv walloping of mallets.
 It is said that Manager Frank. hear ing of the approach of our noble third plaoers, found no comforting repose on his pallet last night, and prayed for dire calamity to prevent the landing Of that hoisterous band in quest of honorable adventure.
 For with a diaboliesl perspicseity the Dutchman, whose pouch swells like the sails Of a yacht. foresaw impending doom.
 Ot course, 1t might develop that in his vislon there were certain flaws. We are simply telling what Frank foresaw.
 The Barons will remain in New Orleans several days. They will return to Bir- mingham in time for game against Montgomery Monday afternoon. Tues day morning, Fourth of July, there will be another game between the two, and in the afternoon still another.
 On the 5th there will be fourth game between the clubs. and as both have an of day on the 9th, a postponed game will be played.
 So in four days the Barons and the Biikens will meet five times, and as result of this meeting 1t is quite possible that the Barons will have deprived the Bllikens Of the honorary position of Peli- can runner-up. In reference to the batch of Billiken- Baron games next week, one of the most rabid fans with whom we are acquainted stated his belief yesterday that Mont somery would take a majority of the sneagements This rabid fan may pos sibiy be correct. However, It is remem- bered that he thought Montgomery would | take the majority of the games of that opening series, and Montgomery got away | with "nary'' one.
