Several months ago he was granted
a vacation and entered an institution

was apparently becoming himself

Some Two weeks ago his condition was
such as to cause him to entertain the
belief that he was in fit condition
to resume his duties at the sanatorium
and he returned to Mt. Vernon His
injured leg began to give him trouble
and au examination revealed that
there mad not been proper knitting,
one piece of the bone overlapping the
other. His physical condition other
wise was such as to prompt him to
resign the superintendent. II being

For some time it has been known
that DR. Conwell contemplated resign

probable vacancy sprang up, among
them being DR.. C. o. Probst, who re-

DR.. stephen A. Douglass, assistant

some time and who has been in charge

who has been very efficient in the
management is generally regarded as
the likely successor of DR.. Conwell.

BURGLARS
Effect Entrance At Home Of
E. B. Hill
And Secure Valuable JpWGIry
And Other Property

The home of Mr. and Mrs Edwin p.
Hill at sol West High street was en-
tered by burglars at some time early
Saturday morning and jewelry to the
value of over 500 was stolen. The
entrance was gained through a pantry
window. the glass being shattered
from the lower section of the frame.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til about $50 o'clock when Mr.. Hill
arose and noted the odd appearance
of the room in which the burglars had
been operating. A bureau drawer was
seen to be pulled out, something which
was very unusual, and an investigation
was made. The contents of the drawer
were disarranged and it was found
that everything of particular value
was missing. The drawer had been
relieved of two diamond rings, watch
and between SO and so in money. A
shot gun, which Mr. Hill had been ex.
amining only the evening before, was
missing from the corner where it had
been placed
1t is thought probable that the men
took possession of this Immediately
on their entrance with the intention of
using it should their work be discov-
cred before an escape could be effect
ed. Mrs. Hill stated Saturday morning
that no one is suspected of having
done the work, but that the matter
will be investigated
1t is thought that the burglary was
committed by experienced hands. as
a great deal of noise must necessarily
have been made when the window
was broken and, furthermore, several
burned matches were found strewn
over the floor of the room in which the
bureau was standing. 1t is evident
that the men were frightened away
before their work was completed as
there vas nothing disturbed excepting
the one bureau drawer. Another
drawer contained a watch and con-
siderable amount OF money. This was
not molested.
The entrance to the Hill home was
made, it is thought, after o'clock in
the morning. A man, who is a guest
at the home, retired at about that hour
and up until that time all was quiet
with no evidence of burglars.

that Lee was in Newark and he at

A special to the Banner from New

Lee was in Newark Friday and was
seen as late as o'clock in the after

about p. m. The special also stated

REPORT
Of Building Commission
JuStlfiGS The Trustees
Mansfield News.l

ANNNosJ
"The board of trustees of the Ohio
State sanatorium is justified to some
extent by the building commission in
the final report which was filed with
Governor Harmon yesterday" said
Frank H. Tanner, who was a member
of the board of trustees of the Mt
Vernon sanatorium until that institu-
ton was taken over by the state board
of control, along with other institu-
tions.
81 personally appeared before Gov
ernor Harmon, Auditor Fullington and
other members of the state building
commission and argued with them
concerning the advisability of having
central board take charge of build
ing all state institutions. My idea
would be to have central board, the
members of which would receive reg
ular salaries, which would have COM
plete control of the building of state
institutions and which would also be
held responsible for the contractors
fulfilling their work. Then, there
would be no unfinished institution
turned over to a board of trustees,
such as was the case in the Mt. Ver-
non hospital. The institution is not
yet completed, but the board of trus-
tees were held responsible to some ex-
tent because it was not finished and
unable to accommodate enough pa
| tients."
In the final report of the state build
ing commission the legislature is held
responsible to large extent for the
alleged waste of money in the erec-
ton The commission declares that
if liberal appropriations had been
made when needed the state would
have been much better off financially
1t also recommends that decided ad-
vantage in building state institutions
would result if the board of trustees
that is to have control of the institu-
ton when completed, have charge OF
the work of construction. This they
claimed they learned at a heavy cost
in the erection of the hospital in Mt
Vernon. The entire amount appro
priated for the hospital in Knox coun
ty was $723,O43.6S and all has been
expended except about 100000. The
new state board of control is now in
charge of the Mt. Vernon hospital
and it is understood will make mum
ber of changes SO that better results
/ can be obtained from the place.

At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, after
hearing a number of matters that were
called up on the civil docket, Judge
r. M. Wickham requested Bailiff Pur-
cell to bring the criminal docket to
the bench. Prosecutor Cromley had,
only a moment before, mentioned the
motion in the Lee case as being
one of the matters ready for the
courts attention.
Upon opening the docket and find
ing the page on which the Lee case
is entered, the Judge inquired if the
defendant was in the court room.
"No, your honor" replied the bail
iff.
Call him at the front door," direct
ed the court
The bailiff went to the front door of
the court house and called the name
of Michael T. Lee three times. AL
though the bailiff's voice was strong
enough to be heard many blocks away
there was no response, and the bailiff
so reported.
SHERIFF Parker, did you notify Lee
to be present in the court room?" in
quired Judge Wickham.
81 have not seen Lee," said the sher
iff, who has been carrying a capias
for the defendant and who had at
tempted to find Lee in Columbus some
days ago. I notified Mrs. Lee that
he was wanted and directed her tc
tell him." continued the sheriff.
1t was suggested to the court thai
Mrs. Lee was in the hall at the rear ol
the court room.
"Cail Mrs. Lee" was Judge Wick
hams next order.
When Mrs. Lee came into the room
she was seated upon the witness
stand.
"Was Mr.. Lee notified to be here to
day?" asked the Judge.

ant wife, who said that she had no

Wickham.

Lees reply.
"That's not what l asked you," sal
the Judge, "do you know where he is :?

continued Mrs. Lee.
"That's all, was the reply, and Mrs
Lee left the room.

was too severe, and that he is still
unwilling to believe and has always
had doubt that Lee gave Metcalf
ether, because the whole case turned
on evidence offered by Mackey, Wolfe
and Detective Rowley. Mackey he
said, is not to be believed. Wolfe, he
declared, is OF low degree of intel
lect The court reviewed at length
the statements by Mackey that he
drank from a bottle that contained
poisoned liquor and that he then threw
the bottle and what remained in it to
one side of the road after the discov-
cry by himself that Metcalf was dead
Judge Wickham next reviewed the
advent of Detective Rowley into the
case, and paid particular attention to
the fact that Rowley, when he started
for the point where Metcalf was found
for the purpose of finding the bottle
that he had learned was thrown away,
declined to permit Sheriff Parker to
accompany him. This did not look
good to the court.
Prosecutor Cromley explained that
at the time no one outside of himself
and Sheriff Parker knew the detec-
| tive's identity or connection with the
case, and that to be seen with the
sheriff would have put an end to his
work.
THAT reason might suffice for some,
but not for me-" said Judge Wickham.
The court plainly indicated that he
does not count a lot on evidence fur
