Coroner's Inquest

Friday, the cOroner's inquest was
held before Justice Reeves, and the
entire day was consumed in taking
testimony Although the district at
torney and sheriff had made a very
careful investigation, no evidence
could be found that would incrimin-
ate anyone. Mr.. Hill, the husband
was placed on the stand and was a
good witness. He was away at the
time of the shooting, having taken
some hunters to Tony.
He testified that he and his wife
had lived happily together and with
out friction, which was borne out by
the testimony of neighbors. He could
offer no explanation for the crime
and although asked repeatedly by
both jurors and the prosecuting at
torney if he suspected anyone, an
swered always in the negative.
A mysterious feature of the case
is the apparent lack of a motive for
the crime. The house was not ran
sacked, nothing was taken, so rob-
berry was not the reason for the deed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill had no enemies
as far as known. They lived in har-
mony with their neighbors, all of
whom spoke well of them at the in
quest. Neighbors and those who ex-
amined the house after the tragedy
testified that Mrs. Hill was an ex-
cellent housekeeper and that Mr.. Hill
was an intelligent man, possessing a
goodsized library, and they seemed
! to be living at peace with everyone.
| Ira Broadly, who lived with the
Hills until three weeks ago, as above
stated and was their nearest neigh
! Dor, was also good witness and
answered all questions readily. A
shotgun, one barrel, of which had
been fired sometime recently. had
been found in his house. Broadly tes-
titled that he was at work on his
place, at a distance of half or three
quarters of a mile from his and Hill s
houses. Broadly told a clear story
and nothing was introduced that in
| eliminated him in any way.
| Whoever committed the crime was
certainly bold about it, as the crime
was done in broad daylight and in
full view of a well-travelled road
The verdict of the coroners jury
which was reached at $50 Friday
evening, will be found elsewhere in
this column
The remains were taken to Della.

FIGURES IN AERIAL
FEAT At ST.LOU|S
Antony Janus Drives BIZ
plane From Which Man
Drops in Parachute.

Antony Janus, a former Washington
boy, and Capt. Albert Berry, son of
Capt. John Berry. Of st. Louis, winner
of the national balloon race from In
dianapolis last year, figured In a spec
tacUlar aerial performance In st. Louis
yesterday afternoon, Capt. Berry jump
ing from an aeroplanc in Il parachute.
JannuS was tho aviator.
The feat of Captain Berry and Janus
- the first time that a man has jumped
from an aeroplane in q parachute. This
acc omplishment was considered dan
gerous by the majority of aviators, 1t
being thought that the aeroplane, be-
coming free of an extra burden, would
spring upward. turn turtle. and crash
to the earth. Captain Berry jumped
from an altitude Of between / 900 and
800 feet, made a perfect landing, while
the aeroplane, driven by the Washing
ton boy, flew on without any difficulty
in maintaining an equilibrium.
Since Captain Berry has accomplished
the feat of dropping from an aeroplane,
II is possible this new stunt" Will be
experimented with by the army aviators
within the year.

places. Indiana has been complaining
for months past of the attempted boss
ship OF the Federal offlce-holdlng crowd,
and now comes a case from New York
which Is likely TO be aired In Congress
before long.
Postmaster Fred Greiner, of Buffalo.
boss of the Republican organization
IN Erie county, was made the subject
OF charges by Congressman c. b. Smith
of that city, and postoffice inspectors
looked into the case. They recommend
cd that Greiner be dismissed.
President Taft took no action, and the
House Committee on Expenditures in
the Postoffice Department tried to get
the report of the inspectors. They have
finally done so, and are so far con-
vinced of the scandalous character of
the situation that a subcommittee is
likely to be sent to Buffalo to look
into the whole matter, preliminary to
airing 1t.
This, It is charged, Is where the pol.
ltics comes in. Greiner Is so thoroughly
in control of Erie county that II is
declared he can control the six dele
gates II will send to the Republican
national convention. II President Taft
dismlsses him, those delegates will not
he for Taft. So Greiner Is being held
up, under charges, but with no pro-
cedure being taken, at least until the
political atmosphere may be clearer.

Plays Not Shakespeare's,
Says Munsey Writer

Judging from twentieth-century stan
dards of literary property, many Of
Shakespeare's works are not techni-
CaiIy his, according to Brander Mat
thews. He says that 1t Is important
to know something of the period in
which the breat bard wrote, however,
before terming him a plagiarlst. There
are at least fourteen of his plays which
we now know to have been invented
and constructed by one or another OF
his predecessors and contemporaries,
says the writer in an article in The
Munsey for March, entitled WAS
Shakespeare Plagiarism They were
already familiar to the Elizabethan n
rlayCoers when Shakespeare undertooTS
TO refashion them to his own liking, or
TO the needs OF the company of actors
for which he worked.
Attention must be called to the fact
that among the dramas which Shakes
peare took over ready-made are two OF
the masterpieces that most securely
buttress his fame-'Hamlet' and King
Lear"
