EVIDENCE AGAINST
SMITH NOW READY
FOR GRAND JURY
Will Be Laid Before Body
Tomorrow or
Tuesday.

All OF the evidence against James
Smith, in the Morris Bennett assault
case, will be laid before the grand Jury
probably tomorrow or Tuesday.
District Attorney Harvey Given
has carefully prepared the evidence
gathered by the police, and 1t il ready
for submission. Police officials are con.
iident that they easily will make .
strong case against Smith.
1t is probable that Smith never will
have to face trial for the murder OF
William H. Mickle, the Seventh Street
tobacconist. though he Is the only sus-
pect in this case.
One Of the latest clues In the Mickle
case fell through, when Detective Frank
Baur returned last evening from a trip
to Colonial Beach. where It was re-
ported there was evidence shedding
light on the mystery.
murder took on a new aspect this morn
ing, when a blacksmith in the xicinity
Of Fifteenth and A streets northeast,
called up the Ninth precinct and asked
that policeman be sent around to talk
with him.
'I may be able to help solve the mys-
FERROUS murder" the man, who gave his
name as William Lanham, told Captain
Daley. 80 send man around to see
me right away"
Sergeant Mccormick answered the
call, but got the wrong address, ind this
afternoon he is trying to locate the vol
untary informant.
James Smith is just as noncommittal
today regarding either the Bennett or
Mickle cases as on the hour Of his ar
rest. s.t
He was told this morning that Ser
geant Mccormick is going to Atlanta

tiary there, who formerly was a COM
panion of Smith. The convict, 1t Is be-
lieved, will be able to throw some light
on Smiths past life The prisoner was

The Measure Will Be a
Great Impetus in Improv-
ing the Highways.

Governor McGovern b as signed the
Donald bill creating state highway
commission and appropriating $3.50, ,O0O

The act provides for commission of
five members, one of whom is TO be
the dean of the college of agriculture

the governor from the state al large.
To every dollar contributed by the

VETERAN MISSING
MYSTERY INVOLVED
Frank Leggett of Fairfield
Disappears During
Night.
From Fridays Daily

Frank Leggett of Fairfield, "a ci I'll war
veteran and member of the G. A. II. of
this city, disappeared last Thursday
night and nothing has been seen of
him since.
The story told by Mrs. Legget is as
follows: Mr.. Leggett has been ailing i'm
health for some time and Thursday
complained more than usual He did
not venture from the house until even
ing when he merely went to The garden,
walked around and returned. That
evening he read little and retired to
his bed. About 10 o'clock he aroused
his wife saying that he was going to
the home Of his daughter, Mrs. Gale
Wilcox, who resides few miles this
side of Portage. His wife tried to con-
vince him TO remain in bed but he was
! persistent and stated that he was go-
ing to die and wished to see his daugh-
ter before the end came. With these
words the horse was hitched to the
buggy and they went to the home of
Mrs. Wilcox.
On arriving there Mr.. Leggelt refus
ed to leave the buggy and Mrs. Leggett
went into the house and returned with
her daughter within short time.
When they reached the carriage they
discovered that Mr.. Leggett was gone.
They got into the buggy and drove
down the road and found the man
headed for Portage, which is distance
of a couple OF miles. He said he wish
ed TO interview doctor and would re-
turn the following day and after dis
cussion he was allowed to continue.
The family became alarmed the next
day when he did not return a search fol-
lowed. Saturday Mrs. Leggett inquir-
ed of the doctor and other persons in
Portage, but none of them had seen or
heard OF him. Monday she was in
this city, thinking that perhaps he
had wondered here, as he had many
friends in this vicinity.
The Wisconsin river lies between
the home of the daughter and the city
of Portage and it is very probable that
he committed suicide by drowning
himself, since nothing was seen of
him in Portage.
While in the city today Mrs. Leg
gett stated that she wished TO inter-
A. r. for possibly he went to some
soldiers home and she thought if such
might be the case they would know
more about how to locate him than
she. In years past Mr.. Leggett had
talked some of going to a soldiers
home.
The missing veteran was in this city
on Decoration Day.

RUNAWAY TEAM
QUITE SPR|GHTLY
Mrs. Sarah Mortimer Aged
86. Thrown and Does Not
Receive Scratch.

There was an exciting runaway in
Walton. Aunt Sarah Mortimer, an old
lady aged 86 years, attended he meet
ing at the tent and after the services
were over Rev. Wesley Markee of
Bethel, who was at the meeting with
his carriage, was going to take her to
her sons home at the west side of
town. He had helped her into the
buggy and just as he went to get in
his team became frightened and ran.
AS they turned the corner at Dave
Miller's one back wheel came off and
at Peterson's corner the other one
came off and they tried to stop the
horses but they ran on with the back
of the buggy dragging on the ground.
John Peterson ran after them and
Marvin Peterson got on his pony and
went down the road at gallop hop
ing to overtake and stop them. A
number of people from the tent also
went. Dewey Peterson brought the
team from the field and hitched to
the surrey and went to bring Mrs.
Mortimer home. The team was STOP
ped at Mr.. Rott's about a mile from
town and Aunt Sarah escaped without
scratch. She was taken home safe
and sound to her son, who knew moth
ing of the accident until she arrived.
