The Republican Mix-up

In interviews since their return the
Roosevelt delegation to Chicago,
which Jared so badly before the COM
mittee, say that Gen. Powell Clay
ton sat on the committee that he
heard the evidence that he argued
his own case and rendered his own
verdict that the Taft delegation
should be seated. In other words,
they asserted that General Clayton
was the whole show-prisoner,
counsel for defense, judge. jury and
eXecutioner
The Roosevelt men say that nei-
ther Taft nor Roosevelt can be nom
mated as it now stands, but that
the Cummins and LaFollette del
egations will go for Roosevelt and
nominate him. Their figures are
as follows: Roosevelt, 517 unin'
structed and uncontested votes;
Taft, 100 uninstructed and uncou-
tested votes; Cummins 10, and La
Toilette 36. Uninstructed votes,
1870, of which SO are from New York;
contested votes, 1913. If Taft gets
all the uninstructed and contested
votes he will still have but 493
votes, and it takes $40 to nominate.
Roosevelt lacks but 33 votes, and he
will get the Cummins and LaFol-
lette delegation, which will put him
over the line and out.

Murder Which Was Committed
Seven Years Ago.

Readfield, Me-, Oct. 15.-Mrs. Elsie
Hobbs Raymond was placed on trial
for her life here today. She is
charged with having tied a wesver's
knot around the throat Of Matte
Hackett which strangled her to death
On the night of August II, 1905. Al
though suspicion has rested on Mrs.
Raymond almost ever since the muir
der, it was not until April of the pres
ent year that the grand jury was able
to find sufficient evidence to indict
her.
Matte Hackett was the eighteen
year-old daughter of Levi Hackett, a
farmer living at Kent's Hill near this
town. On the night OF August IL.
1905, while talking with a tramp who
had asked him for nights lodging,
the farmer heard his daughter ex-
claim You wretch" which was fol-
lowed by a scream. Hackett ran TO
the house and found that his daughter
was gone. A little later he discover
ed her lying on her back in the road
about 100 yards from the house. A
weavers knot made of small cord had
been tied around her neck and she
had been strangled to death after a
terrific struggle. Suspicion was d.
rected at Mrs. Raymond Oh the
grounds that she was insanely jealous
OF her husband. who. prior to his mar
rlage, had paid court to Miss Hsekett.
