fellow and Il pet of the p%etticoats. He
was captured at the battle of Chicka-
manga and taken into Georgia. where
he vas kept until we advanced with
Sherman's army to Atlanta. About
the time we were passing his way ne
managed to escape and joined us. l
remember well when he came into
camp dressed up fit to kill.

he did.
when he got away, which he did by
burrowin' under a wall, he was Il
mighty sick lookin' chap. His clothes
was tattered and torn, and a good deal
of the dirt that he'd crawled through
was stickin' to i'm. He was covered
with lice, and his hair hadn't been
combed since he was captured. In the
mornin' he found himself in a wood
along one side O. which was a wall and
on the other side of the wall was a
plantation, or. rather. the garden ad-
joinin' the plantation house. Jim was
so hungry that he was ready to risk
most anything to get his teeth on a
hunk o. corn pone or somepin like
that, so he jumped the wall and was
maxim across the garden for the mig

house opened and a young girl and a
Confederate officer stepped out. Jim
darted up q tree which be happened
to be near.
"The couple came saunterin' along,

said before she'd marry a Confederate

LA PENNA IS GIVEN
HIS GUN AND KNIFE

Mike La Penna's five shooter" 80
calibre revolver, with which he killed
his cousin, Antonio La Penna at the
fence factory, November 7, and the
long. dagger-like, single-bladed knife
which he carried when arrested, were
returned to his Saturday. Having
been found not guilty by the jury for
first degree murder, the state was
powerless to confiscate the weapons
La Penna made request for them
through his attorney.
Gossip OF the murder trial demand
ed more attention of attorneys and
the court than legal business Satur-
day. All seemed agreed that the jury
judged rightly in finding La Penna not
guilty instead of finding him guilty OF
manslaughter. as it is understood
some jurors held out for a short time.
The attorneys said that considering
the evidence from any angle a case Of
manslaughter could not have been
made out against La Penna. but that
the killing was either straight out MUIR
der or self defense, the latter being
the jury's opinion.
Chief Of police l. A. Gormon, was
sorely displeased with the verdict He
said that several Italians called him
up after the verdict became known
and expressed themselves as dispieas-
ed with the verdict

OF JAIL HAS LEFT
Door to His Cell Left Open
and He Was Ordered to
Sweep Alley.

John Jones. the cripple who made
persistent attempts to break in the
county Jail and who was arrested only
when he intruded at police headquar-
ters, has gone. Jones was cesirous of
being arrested and sent to the county
jail for the winter, but he was foiled
by the police superintendent
After keeping him in the city Jail
for several days, giving him but light
diet, the police chief ordered Jones
put to work and instructed the the
turnkey to leave all doors of the Jail
open and to see that the other ave-
nues of escape were not obstructed
Jones worked diligently but although
he was alone and was given many op.
portunities to get away he did not take
advantage Of them. In desperation
Supt. Gormon ordered the turnkey to
instruct Jones to sweep the alley
leading from Fifth to Sixth street
Jones believed this was too much
and seeing good chance, he made
his getaway.
The police had already made other
arrangements to give Jones the
bounce" in case the latter plan fail
ed. but fortunately for Jones they were
not forced to resort to drastic meas
ures.

officials of the +. H, l. g. E. Traction
company in Indianapolis yesterday af-

the end of the winter, to construct a
car line between Milton and Corners

After explaining the advantages both
to the traction concern and to the
community, the delegation displayed
petitions signed by over 700 residents
of Wayne and Fayette counties. They
also presented resolutions passed by
the city councils of Richmond and

was finally brought into play when
they showed a set of maps prepared
by the engineers of the two counties,
designed to prove that the proposed
line would be but ten miles in length
and would entail but small expendi.

The situation was discussed inform.

when warm weather comes, and to
start construction as soon as feasible.
