EIGHT HELD FOR DEATH
OF DIAMOND MERCHANT
-Four Women and -Four Men
Held Pending Police
Investigation
nv Associated Prana.,

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Eight persons,
four men and four women, are under
arrest in connection with the sensa-
tional murder of ]. H. Logue. diamond
merchant in McVickers' theater build
ing, and the police are strongly inclined
to believe that they have succeeded in
breaking up a dangerous gang of auto
mobile bandits.
At least some of the prisoners are
suspected of either participating in or
knowing something about nearly all of
the daring safe blowings and other
criminal depredations that have taken
place in Chicago in the last fortnight
After the arrest of four persons late
yesterday afternoon, detectives have
been bringing others in one by one.
The fifth is a man said by the police
to have a prison record, and the sixth
chauffeur, alleged to nave been driv-
ing the nocturnal bandits about town,
and the seventh and eighth prisoners
are a married woman and friend of
hers, whose identity the police refuse
to divulge.
Early today search of the north
side fiat, where the suspects were ar
rested, was made and a quantity of
dynamite and nitroglycerin, together
with caps used in disoharging explo-
sives, were found. Many skeleton keys
were discovered.
Captain Halpin received a telegram
from the state penitentiary at Column
bus, o., asking that Clyde Stratton be
held, as he was an escaped convict for
whose capture a reward of $50 had been
offered.
Much Importance is attached by Cap
tain John j. Halpin to the arrests last
night of Clyde Stratton, the ex-convict
and fugitive from the Columbus Ohio,
penitentiary; Edward Hampden, ar
rested with Stratton and two women,
one claiming to be the wife of Hamp-
den and the other the wife of "Toron-
to Jim" Johnson, a safe blower now
serving a twenty-year term in the Wau-
pun, wis, penitentiary.
The Identification of the men was
dramatic. F. A. Carmel, former dis
trict attorney of Hill county, Mont,
saw two men rushing out of the build
ing where the crime was committed at
about the hour when the diamond brok-
er was slain. Unfamiliar with the
down town district, Carnal had wan
dered into the theater building believ-
ing he was entering the First National
bank building where he had business.
His description of the two men led to
the arrest of Stratton and Hampton in
a north side fiat about twelve hours
later. Both women under arrest are
blondes and a blonde woman had been
seen on many occasions in Logue's Of
fee.

There were $500 this year. and, need
less to relate, his imperial majesty made
a very stirring little speech to them
about the solemnity Of the oath and
what was due to kaiser and fatherland.
There was a dinner at the Kiel palace,
given by Prince and Princess Heinrich
in the sovereign's honor, and his majesty
returned the compliment by a dinner
party on board the Deutschland on the
following day, after which the imperial
train conveyed the kaiser back to Pots

Mrs. AckIey's Hundredth Birthday.

Monday, Aug. 10, occurred the one
huudredth birthday of Mrs. Mary Ack-
lev of Milton Plantation. Rarely does
such an instance occur, and in seeing
Mrs. Ackley one would hardly realize
she had reached the century mark. She
is very well, is able to get around and
wait on herself, and reads some. Her
mind is clear and memory good. She
has always been hard working, prudent
woman in her home, and a kind neigh
Dor.
Mary Brown Ackley was born in Buck
field, Aug. 10, 1912. At the age OF II
years she married Joseph Ackley. They
lived for two years with his people, then
they came to Milton, bought tract OF
land, cleared il, and built a house.
There we're only few neighbors then,
some early settlers.
The writer asked her to tell something
of her early life, and she replied, "When
We came here it was a wilderness; my
husband cut the first tree here. He
cleared a piece and built small house
l6 20, consisting OF one room. All my
children but one were born in that house.
There were no places of worship, 80
they held meetings round in barns.
remember going to q quarterly meeting
up in VintOn Abbott's barn. Oh, l was
OF their five children only two are now
living, Margaret (Ackley) Dunn, New
Sharon, and Joseph, who lives on the
home place.
Mrs. Ackley has had rheumatism, and
for thirty wears or more has been obliged
to use crutches, but she has always Kept
house for her son without the aid oi
hired help until nine years ago, which is
something remarkable.
Mr.. Ackley died Aug. 2, 1855. About
two years after his fathers death, young
Joseph built the house where they now
live. 1t is a nice comfortable house
Although not as large as many, 1t has al
the modern conveniences Of good farm
home. Flowers are growing In abun
dance. Mr.. Ackley has been married
twice, his last wife being Mrs. basna
Sessions.
Mrs. Ackley's grandmother lived to be
one hundred years and three days oio
and Mrs. Ackley has frequently express
ed the wish to live as long. She receiv
ed one hundred and fifty-two post card'
from friends.
BY invitations extended BY Mr.. ant
Mrs. Joseph Ackley large number o
neighbors and friends, eighty-nine In all
came to congratulate the woman wh'
had lived one hundred years. Durinl
the day she was photographed, ant
when asked to sit for her picture sh
replied "What do you want my pictur
forP" She enjoyed the greetings from 81
many old friends and relatives, some
them coming a long way to be present
and she expressed wish to have birth
days come oftener.
At noon bounteous dinner was ser'
ed to the whole crowd, consisting OF tha
most temptir & of all dishes, beans bake
in the sround, and delicious pies an
cakes. 1t was dinner that would b
hard to excel. Many willing bands Al
sisted the hostess in serving It. 1t wa
day long to be remembered, and q
went home wishing Mrs. Ackley man
more birthdays TO follow.
