in Appeal to President
for Life Term.

With confession Of guilt and plea
for mercy on his lips, Tony Milano, un-
der sentence to die on the scaffold June
q for the murder Of eleven-year-oid
Harry Elton Smith, has appealed to
President Wilson for a Communication of
his sentence to life imprisonment The
Italian shoemaker submitted a full con-
fession of guilt and a claim that he was
temporarily crazed at the time the crime
was committed.
Tony Milano Is not afraid to die, his
counsel assert. and his only consideration
is for his wife and three children. He
is reconcled to his fate they state, and
is fully prepared to meet the end should
the President not extend the ciemency
he asks.
Attorneys Daniel w. Baker and James
F. Kelly, counsel for the condemned man,
submitted to the President short petit
ton stating the legal side of their client s
case. 1t is their claim that the proof
did not show the premeditated murder
that the law contemplates.
Members of Italian societies in Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and other cities are
signing a petition addressed to the Presi-
dent asking for a communication of the
sentence of MilanO. 1t is said that more

KNIVES USED IN A
BRAWL IN SALOON
West Virginian Slashes Geo.
Weatherly-All Are
Fined.

Armed with knives of various sorts
Harvey Turner and George and Will
liam Weatherly, West Virginians, en-
gagged in a free for all fight in John
Miller's saloon on Main street between
Fourth and Fifth streets with the re-
suit that George Weatherly was badly
cut on the arm before the proprietor
of the saloon could separate the men.
Turner, who did the cutting was fined
$40 and costs for assault and battery
and the Weatherly brothers were fined
81 and costs each on the charges of
public intoxication in police court this
morning.
John Miller, proprietor of the saloon
in which the fight occurred stated
that the men had been in the place
about five minutes and had been argu-
ing when all three drew large pocket
knives. The cause of the fight is not
known.
1t is said that the Weatherly broth
ers attacked Harvey Turner but be-
fore they could infliet-any wounds on
Turner he had cut George on the arm.
The brothers rushed at Turner, who
lodged and caught George another
slashing blow with the knife on the
arm above the elbow, touching large
artery. Miller then rushed in and sep
arated the men, receiving cut on the
finger.
About fifteen stitches were required
to close George Weatherly's wounds
The attending physician stated that
Weatherly would have bled to death
before aid could have been summoned
if the last wound inflicted on the arm
by Turner had been a trifle deeper
The three men came to this city from
a farm in West Virginia and have
been living here together for the past
two months.

DISMISS KERR AND
LUNOY INDICTMENTS
Court Takes Action On the
Motion Of Prosecuting
Attorney.

The cases of the state against DR..
J. D. Kerr Of Greensboro, and Clyde
Lundy of Centerville, were dismissed
on motion of Prosecuting Attorney
Keller in the circuit court this morn
ing
Dr. Kerr was indicted by the Oc-
tober term of the grand jury and
three true bills We're returned by the
January term of the grand jury.
against Lundy. The indictments
returned charged both men with sell
ing liquor unlawfully and in a ter
ritory where the sale was prohibited.
DR.. Kerr was tried on one indict-
ment and a verdict of not guilty was
returned by the jury before which the
case was tried. In the trial of Lundy
the jury disagreed after the defend
ant had been brought to trial on two
occasions.
1t was the intention of Prosecutor
Keller to bring Kerr to trial on the
indictment in which Aaron Worl was
the prosecuting witness: Worl after
testifying before the grand jury moved
to Alabama His father-in-law told
the prosecutor that he did not wish
to return to testify IL the case.
The Lundy indictments were dis
missed on the grounds that there was
not sufficient evidence to warrant a
/; conviction.

CARNEGIE MAY Be
REQUESTED TO AID
List of Patrons of Proposed
Cambridge City Lib
'rary Filed.

The subscription list of patrons to
the proposed library at Cambridge
City was filed at the office of the
county clerk by B. F. Wissler today
and according to residents of that
place the library is now assured.
1t is believed by the promoters of
the library that for the first few years
the expenses of the institution will be
$500 per year, though $1,000 at least
will be raised annually for it's mainte-
nance.
There will be 500 volumes in the Ii
brary to start and each year it pro-
posed that popular books shall be pur-
chased with the excess, money con.
tributed for the support.
The maximum tax which may be as
sessed is ten cents per 500 on all tax
able property, although it is believed
that a much smaller assessment will
be asked.
An appointment of members of the
commission was made by Judge Fox
Saturday who will act in conjunction
with the town board.
An effort is being made by the pro
moters to interest those in charge OF
the Andrew Carnegie fund in the pro
position and in all probabilities finan
cial aid will be secured from the noted
philanthropist.
