man HURT
IN HOLOUP

While returning to his home in
Tolleston late lats night from Gary
David Cummings employe of the
Steel Company. living on Center street
near Borman boulevard was shot and
seriously wounded when he resisted the
attack of three unknown men who at
tempted to rob him.
The attempted hold up occurred near
the crossing of the Pennsylvania rail-
road on Eleventh avenue At Madison
street Cummings was joined by an un-
known man who asked If he might
walk with him to Tolleston. AS the
two men approached the Pennsylvania
crossing two hold up men sprang out
from a pile of railroad ties and at
tempted to force him to the ground
He was so surprised over the attack
that he had little time to defend him
self but succeeded in knocking one OF
his assailants down. The other man
drew his revolver and shot several
times, one of the bullets striking Cum
mings in the groin.
The men including Cummings com
panion who accompanied him from Gary
then made their escape without at
tempting to search his person. Cum
mings upon being shot sank to the
ground and ii was some time before he
was discovered. He was taken to
Mercy hospital where his injuries wer
attended by DIR. Craig.

ELKH0RN
PASTOR IN
THE PULPIT

The Rev. c. A. Hemenway of Elk
horn. Wis. will occupy the pulpit in
the First Baptist church of Hammond
next Sunday. and inasmuch as he may
be the possible successor to the Rev.
J. f. Sharp. who resigned to take
charge of a downstate parish, a large
congregation is expected to hear the
minister.
The Rev. Hemenway is not particu-
larly seeking a new location, but has
been induced to come to Hammond for
the day to look over the field. For
number of years he was located at
Kalamazoo, Mich. where he built up
large regation and erected a new
building
Rev. Hemenway to Hammond a num-
ber of times in past year. and he will
undoubtedly see a big and favorable
change when coming again next sun
day
The Rev Hemenway is a middle-aged
man. who combines at once scholarly
attainments with business and execu-
tive ability, and in view of the fact
that the Hammond congregation is con-
templating the erection of new
church in the near future, his business
qualifications would make him doubly
desirable as the new minister

ing OF One Hundred and Fifty-fi

precipitated a riot to stop the paving

ASSERTING INNOCENCE, REESE ROBERTS is HANGED

life. Before Governor Pennewill could
leave his Greenwood home at 7
O'Clock a delegation of colored clergy
men urged him to again commute the
sentence of Roberts. The Governor
asked them if they had any newly dis
covered evidence that would warrant
the case being reopened before the
Board of Pardons and when the
friends of Roberts said all they know
was hearsay the Governor told them
he could not overthrow the work Of
the State courts.
Upon arriving at his offices In
Dover, Governor Pennewill said he
had held his mind open to conviction
as to Roberts innocence until the
last minute. He believed that many
persons who advocated Communication
were opposed to capital punishment
through sentiment. While he admitted
that he did not advocate It, he recog-
nized that the punishment is pre-
scribed in the Delaware law. When
sworn into Office he said he took an
oath TO uphold the law and in his
mind no Governor had the right to
waive aside any law because of mere
sentiment against it.
History Of the Crime.

aged couple who kept a general store

he stopped at the Casey store to de-
liver bread. Getting no response tc
his calls, he entered the house and
cropping his way by the flicker
OF a lighted match he found the cou-
pie mutilated in bed. Roberts was
arrested later in Chester by Detec-
tives ellis and Ratledge.

charge Of numbering Mrs. Casey, the
evidence upon which he was convic'
ted was circumstantial, Attorney.
