DOUBLE CRIME

BY A MANIAC
John Dillman, Flat Rock, ILL.,,
Comes to Richmond and
Tries to Kill Divorced Wife
and Daughter.
Continued from Page One)

was referred to Doll Bass, cabman,
who assisted him in the cab and
drove to the Jones Hardware store
Dtllman requested Bass to bring out
some revolvers as he could not walk
into the store. Dillman disliked the
weapons, SO Bass drove to the Horna-
day store where Dillman selected one
from the assortment which Bass
brought him. Orders were then given
to the cabman to drive to Tenth and
Main streets.
Bass assisted Dillman to the stairs
but Dillman told him he could walk
without help then. Dillman threw his
overcoat on the steps and, after hest.
tating moment, walked into the
street. He had gone but a few feet
when he turned and walked back to
the stairway. and. rushing up the
stairs, broke into the apartments.
The shooting occurred about 6:1O
O'Clock.
After reaching the street, Mrs. Dill
man ran into o. c. Krone's store,
where she asked to hide. She remain
ed there until the police talked with
her and assured her that Dillman had
been arrested.
The Daughter Faints.
The daughter, Mrs. Marsh. became
hysterical after her father had left her
apartments, and she also ran down
the stairs and tainted in front of the
doorway. Pedestrians cared for her.
Dillman refused to talk to reporters
this morning, saying that he would
rather wait awhile before he made any
public statements about the affair.
When asked about Mrs. Susie Ray,
Sam Miller, Mrs. Sam Miller and ].
Barbar, the persons mentioned in the
letter which he wrote on the train he
mumbled that they were the cause of
the trouble, but refused to give out
any further particulars or details
which would tend to clear up his rea-
sons for attempting to kill his divorc-
ed wife.
Mrs. Dillman stated last evening
that her husbands mind was unbal-
anced, and that he had not worked for
the past eight or ten years, because
he believed himself to be an invalid.
She asserted that he had attempted
to kill her before and about six weeks
ago he locked her in their house near
Warren and securing a club tried to
beat her to death, but neighbors in
terfered. She believed she would not
ter she had obtained her divorce.

After seventeen years of continuous
service as travelling salesman for the
Layman, Carey company, wholesale
hardware dealers Of Indianapolis,
Charles A Pierson tenders his resigna-
ton to the firm with whome has been
so long identified and retires perma-
nentiy from the road. Mr.. Pierson
has purchased a half interest in the
hardware store of w. w. Richey of
Monticello, Indiana, and will become
ware business, the firm to be knowns
as Richey and Pierson. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierson will move at once to Month
cello whore they will make their fu-
ture home. In the departure of Mr..
Pierson from Richmond, Post c loses
one of it's most active members. He
has been most prominently connected
with T. p. A. affairs for many years
and has given to the local Post much
Of his valued time, serving the organi-
zatlon in various capacities. He has
been member of the board Of direc-
tors at differen times. Mrs. Pierson,
too. will be missed in the life Of Post
c. She has ably assisted in the So
cial life of the Post and has been a
valued aid to the success of the many
entertainments given by the associa-
ton. While the members Of Post G
regret deeply the withdrawal of both
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierson from their midst
they have only words of good cheer
and God speed for them in their new
venture Mr.. Pierson has established
an envable record for himself through
the confidence of large acquaintance
in the territory over which he has
travelled. His successor has as yet,
not been named.
The "Mid-Night Crew" is a new in
ner organization within the Post or
rather a by product. This crew goes
on duty at ten p. m. and is off again
at six a. m. What the purpose of the
organization is no one seems to be
able to ascertain. The officers are
VIM. Kramer, president; Jno. B. Heg-
gar, vice-president; M. L. Hasty,. Of
