cy of the company in future.

port, the company introduced testi.

drawn, is touched upon in evidence
| from officers and directors of the com
pany, to the effect that the little vii
lage is a point of great advantage fo1
refining and shipping oil and that

main in Missouri the large plant there
will be improved greatly.
The report conveys this testimony
in the form CT a running story cover

GIRLS KIDNAPER
GIVES A SURPRISE
Reported at Trial Sullens
Threatens to Repudiate Con-
fession to Save Another.

Salem, ILL.,, June 12.-What purport-
ed to be an explanation of sudden
ly expressed amity between Frank
Sullens, confessed kidnaper of Dor
othy Fox Holt, and Ernest Harrison,
the man he says gave him s. and
some whisky to seize her, was told yes
terday afternoon TO s. y. Finn, states
attorney of Marion county. If true. it
threatened the whole case of the state,
so deputy sheriffs were sent out to
subpoena the persons who said they
had the information.
The report given to the states at
torney was that Sullens, frightened by
possibility of the death penalty, had
agreed to go on the witness stand and
repudiate the confession he made in
the preliminary hearing before JUS
tice Thomas w. Williams. 1t came
from Mount Vernon residents who
visited Sullens and declared the youth
told them he had agreed, for con
sideration of $780," to help save Har-
rison by declaring his confession was
made under duress when he feared a
mob might take MS lie.
A point that may be raised in court
today by the defense relates the man
ner in which veniremen were drawn
by the sheriff ]. J. and w. f. Bundy
and Charles w Ham, attorneys for
Sullens and Harrison, have heard that
some of the veniremen had been sum-
moned by George B. Simcox, deputy
sheriff, who is to be a witness. If
the point is given cognizance by
Judge A. NJ. Rose the six men now in
the jury box, four accepted by both
sides and two pronounced acceptable,
may be released from service. Deputy
Sheriff Lucien Beasley and SimcoA
caught Sullens and heard him name
Harrison. II was to them that Sullens
made his first confession.
To obtain the six acceptable jurors
156 veniremen were examined. Anoth-
er venire of 80 men was ordered today
| by the court.
/ II is considered probable that the
first evidence will be Sullen's sworn
confession.
The defense has not decided wheth.
er either of the accused boys shall
go on the stand Charles +. Holt,
assistant states attorney and former
! judge. father of the girl kidnapped, will
not question witnesses or address the
Jury. He will, however. go on the
! stand and corroborate evidence given
/ by his daughter. -.......s.s,.-.-...-------
