MAY PLACE DUNLAP
IN INSANE ASYLUM
Prosecutor Keller Will In.
vestigate Case AS Soon
AS Possible.

George Dunlap will probably be COM
mitted to an insane asylum according
TO Prosecutor Keller who will investi-
gate the case as soon as possible.
Judge Fox expected to examine rela-
tives and residents of Centerville Sat
urday but because of the Old Settlers
picnic did not do so.
Dunlap was sent to the Indiana Col
ony for Insane at Michigan City sever
al years ago from the Wayne circuit
court after he had shot DR.. Harrison
Gabel and struck Marcellus Beitzell
with a club. Both attacks were without
provocation. Dunlap said he had enc
mics in Centerville and he was going
to take drastic measures to defend
himself. He is now in the county Jail
having been released from the Michi-
gan City institution after the law
which he was convicted under was
declared unconstitutional.

IS WIFE MURDERER
FE|GN|NG INSANITY
Turnkey Miller Says George
Schools Threatens to
End His Life.
WITNESS AT DAYTON

George Schools, confessed murder
er of his wife, Lydia Schools, may he
sent to the Indiana colony for insane
as was Seth Lucas several weeks ago.
Schools is either demented or is feign-
ing insanity it is said. Insanity will be
his defense according to his attorney.
Witnesses will be brought here from
Dayton to testify as to Schools san
ity The proprietor of the rooming
house where Schools resided while he
was in Dayton a few weeks prior to
his crime told of how Schools ran into
the house several times and called
loudly for a physician saying he was
stabbed. An examination of his body
failed to reveal any marks of violence.
Several other actions of the prisoner
indicate that he is mentally unbalanc-
ed, his attorneys say.
Turnkey Miller stated this morning
that Schools was feigning insanity. He
continually tells the Jail inmates that
he is going to commit suicide and asks
them to find a place where he can tie
a handkerchief and bed clothing with
which he says he will carry out his
threat.
The grand jury will probe the case
against Schools August q. An indict-
ment charging first degree murder
probably will be returned.

Although Seized With Verti-
go Zimmerman Shows His
Gameness and Makes the
Climb in oIz Minutes.

"Never again." said Mayor thinner
man this morning after he had climb

plant. The matter came up this morn

| words and Mayor Zimmerman stated
that before the stack would be accept
ed the board should make a personal
inspection and see if it meets the re-
quirements.
Il move that the members of the
board climb the stack" said the mayor
after he had been informed that the
big chimney was ready for inspection.
Fred Charles, city engineer, who was
recently injured in a fall, entered a
faint objection.
Il said every member" severely re-
peated the mayor and moved that the
board adjourn to the light plant.
B. A. Kennepohl, president of the
board and reporter, stated that they
would accompany Zimmerman to the
top of the stack. After making an in
spection of the building now going
on at the plant the party entered the
chimney from the small cleaning f1ue
on the north side
Everybody looked up to the top. In
the course of the ITS feet, the stack
seemed to dwindle to point al
though it is really 10 feet in diameter
at the upper end. Mayor Zimmerman
produced pair Of leather gloves and
taking off his coat, started to climb

but one person.
When ne had completed 100 feet of
the climb. he was seized with vertigo
and was forced to take a longer rest
until he recovered his strength. At
that point, after looking straight up
the stack, it seemed that the mayor
was crawling on his hands and knees
andonly the bottom OF his feet and
his elbows could be seen.
Makes Good Time.
He arrived at the top in nine and
one-half minutes, which, workmen
say, is record time for those who do
not attempt the feat every day He
remained at the top a few minutes,
making the trip down again in seven
and one-half minutes. AS he was
coming down, those at the bottom
shouted questions at him. He did not

Clothes Were Runined.
His knees trembled and shook, and
he was grimy from head TO foot. A
new pair of trousers which he wore
were covered with SCOT. The former
spotless, stiff-boosom white shirt was
unrecognizable.
Don't go up there, he said solemn
ly to the reporter Kennepohl had some
time before admitted that he had a
case of cold feet"
Don't make that climb unless you
take you clothing off first" he repeat
ed. One glance at the mayor was
assurance that his warning should be
needed. His collar was string, and
shortly after leaving the stack, his
stiff-bosom shirt had melted to a
shapeless piece of cloth.
He Will Not Repeat.
I wouldn't do that again for a
thousand dollars" saiG the mayor af-
ter reaching the city building. Il

accept it, But the other members of

two men drove up to the Lennox hotel

tourists i'm that section of New Eng
land. One man registered as W. n.
Holden of New York and the other as
p. II. Sims. They left at $50 this
morning travelling in the direction of
Pittsfield. Their car had the appear

identified Sims as Harry Thaw. Both
men left without eating breakfast,
Sims driving the car. At DR. Holden's
office in New York IL was said he was
out of town taking a tour and was last
heard from near Saratoga.
DR.. Holden's assistant denied that
the doctor knew Harry Thaw. The
news from Lennox dispelled the belief
that Thaw had sailed from South Nor

duct, Patrolman Benjamin F. Harper,

had been made to keep the arrest of
the Richmond policeman quite.
Night Officer Charles Evans made
the arrest, and after taking Harper to

to the Jail and talked with the pa
trolman. Harper told Kelly that he
was a member of the Richmond police
force.
Talked With Gormon.
The Eaton mayor called Chief Of
Police Gormon over long distance tele-
phone and verified the statement
Gormon said that Harper was a faith
full officer, and had never caused any
trouble previously. He recommended
that he be allowed to return to this
city, and that that he would be re-
sponsible for Harper's appearance be-
fore Mayor Kelly for trial Saturday
morning, according to Mayor Kelly.
Accordingly the patroIman was al
lowed to come home that evening. The
next morning he went to Eaton and
stated to Mayor Kelly that he was
guilty of the charges aled. Without
calling in any witnesses or conducting
a trial Mayor Kelly accepted the plea
and dismissed Harper with a fine of
$3 and costs. amounting to $40.
Members of the Eaton police force
agreed to keep the affair quiet, as did
the Eaton papers, which did not print
accounts of the arrest

When questioned this morning re-
garding the circumstances of the ar

When asked for detailed information
regarding the charges Night Officer
Evans said. You have the record
there charging him with disorderly
conduct"
"Hush Matter Up."
He refused to answer any ques-
tions concerning what Harper was do
ing when arrested, what his condition
was, or make any statement beyond
the fact that the affair should be
"hushed up" and that there was moth
ing of Importance connected with it.
The bare record, he said, was suffi-

What action the local police depart

known.
