DEATH WITH coMPosuRE.

Custody.

Columbus. - Without word to
reveal the circumstances which
caused his end, Alvin E. Zollinger, who
was shot in Franklin park by Miss
Cecilia Farley, according to her ad-
mission to the police, died at st. Fran
els hospital. He never regained con-
sciousness from the time of the shoot
ing and his version of the affair will
never be known. At the bedside were
Zollinger's wife, his son, Clayton
aged fifteen, and his father. James t.
zollinger, a rental agent, of 937 Oak
street. Under the direction of Coro-
ner Hanes a post-mortem examina-
ton Of the body was held by
DR.. l. B. Harris, surgeon at
st. Francis hospital. Coroner Hanes
will base his report in the case upon
this and the mass of evidence already
accumulated by the police.
Order QuigIey Re-Arrested.
Chief Carter ordered the re-arrest
of Jerome Quigley, who is free upon
bond of $4,000, put up by Ben Har-
mon, his employer at the Neil House,
and others. The police rather ex-
pected Quigley's attorney would ad
wise him to give himself up when he
found Zollinger had died. When Quig-
ley did not appear the chief and the
prosecutor, after a conference, de-
cided that the young man should be
brought in at once. He was later ar
raigned in court and a charge of MUIR
der in the first degree conferred.
Later it was announced new atfi-
davits charging Miss Farley and
Quigley with murder in the first de-
gree were filed. Both will have to
remain locked up until the prelimi-
nary hearing, according to the an
nouncement of Judge Osborn.
Won't Accept Bond Now.
Until after a preliminary hearing,
there will be no bond on the first
degree murder case of Miss Farley or
Quigley. Judge Osborn pointed to
Section 9 of Article 1 in the consti-
tuition, which says, "All persons shall
be bailable by sufficient sureties, ex-
cept for capital offenses where the
proof is evident or the presumption
| great"
Although one can hardly say that
the proof is evident here in both
cases." said Judge Osborn, "the pre-
sumption is great and you can say
that there will be no bond in either
case at least until after the prelimi-
nary hearing"
Besides wife, children and father,
! zollinger had brother, Edmund V.
zollinger, who was here two weeks
ago on visit with his father
Hears News Calmly.
Chief Carter personally carried the
message to Miss Farley, notifying her
of Zollinger's death. AS he came into
the emergency hospital in which the
girl is confined the chief said 81
have bad news for you this morning
Miss Farley" rs he dead?" she
asked. HE died between and 1C
o'clock" said the chief. Il wonder
why they didn't tell me them the
girl asked. She made no further
comment, but after standing silent
for moment began to cry.

But what about the veterans who returned
from the front, torn by shot and shell, unable to
resume their places In the ranks of the work
ers without means of selfsupport and unwilling
to thrust themselves upon their kith and kin?
At the close of the Civil War, when more than
half million men laid down their arms of war
and in few months transformed from
soldiers to citizens. the question of what to do
with those who incapacitated arose.
Pensions are well enough in their way, but
pensions are not sufficient" declared Congress

both House and Senate. I'VE must establish

Yet when takes into consideration the
physical condition of soldiers when admitted to

the Civil War, the death rate Is really low. for
the average life of the old soldiers has been a

Washington, July 15.-Senator Lori mer took up his analysis of testimony in his case where he had left off, when his exhaustion after hours of speaking practically forced a recess of the sen- ate.
 Senator Lorimer took up his andy sis of testimony in his case where he had left off, when his exhaustion after hours of speaking practically forced a recess of the senate.
 At one point, declaring that the pro- ceedings against him had been con- ducted by conspirators, he exclaimed:
 If all the people knew the full story they'd drive that band of hypo- critics out of the country. And they will know it. If God spares me they'll know it from one end of the land to the other.
 This attack on me is not the first instance where efforts have been made to drive senators out of this chamber by conspiracy" he cried.
 Lorimer made a bitter attack on Kern, who delivered the principal speech against him, characterizing Kern as the Pharisee who sat before him with a "holier-than-thou" express sion, and held him up as having chased the ghost" at the Baltimore convention.
 Lorimer took up in detail the four Illinois legislators to whom he re- ferred as the confessors" He said that Charles A. White was con- fessed perjurer, and that Beckemeyer Link and Holtslaw had never con- fessed to having received a cent to vote for Lorimer.
 Charges Use Of "Third Degree"
 He said that legislators who did not speedily give the testimony his ene- mics wanted them to give were sub jected to the third degree and said that if Leo O'Neil Browne had sur rendered with the testimony desired he never would have been placed on trial
