SURRENDERS To
FACE TRIAL FOR
ANCIENT CRIME
Alabama Man, Who EIuded Of
fcers Twenty-Five Years, to
Answer for Killing.

RUSSELLNILLE, ALA, Oct. 8
Frank Palmer, of Franklin County,
who had been sought by officers OF
the law for % years, presents a
unique figure in that he has given
himself up to the law and wishes to
be tried for the murder of Dave
Glenn, whose mutilated body was
found in a pike road near here IN
1891.
Palmer was living in Dallas Coun
ty. in the Texas Panhandle. at the
time he decided to come back to his
native State and face the crime OF
which he had been accused in his
youth. He had been in West Texas
roughing ii on ranches and in Next
co, prospecting for gold. but always
ne had fell the ban Of the law, so he
sent a message to Sheriff Hargett,
Of Franklin County, saying:
Il am tired Of lodging the law"
When Texas officers placed Pal
meT under arrest and when Sheriff
Hargett arrived one bright Sunday
morning the same words fell from
the lips OF the fugitive.
Il am glad to go back to Alabama,
because | am so tired
For % years as a cowboy. miner,
farmer and clerk, Palmer held within
himself the great secret. He SHE'D
at the personal questions any chance
acquaintance might ask him; he an
swered queerly with a stified voice
when friends spoke of his native
/ State, and his pulse beat faster when
/ an officer gazed squarely into his
| eyes.
In custody and irons the prisoner is
| happier than when he was free to
| rove the West He want a trial be-
| fore his old friend and then chance
! to start all over again." where he
| is knc1n.
One of the oldest county officials
| tells the story as follows:
Dave Glenn and Frank Palmer, IS
/ ar-old youths, had been friends
/ from boyhood. They were the sons
! of planters in Franklin County. 1t
was the village gossip that both loved
/ the same little farm girl. She was Is,
slim and pretty, with an angels inno-
| cence in her eyes.
Then one morning the village seeth-
/ ed with the excitement OF a bloody
/ tragedy. Dave Glenn had been found
/ with the top of his head blown off,
1 ana Palmer had disappeared. It was
as though he had dropped from the
/ face of the earth, and though the
/ years passed no trace was received,
/ or if one was heard of, 1t proved to be
! false clew. High and low, every
where, police circulars made a drag
net and the States were combed in a
/ futile effort to find the fugitive.
| During the years that Palmer
roamed the range, living in DOLBY huts
and eating from chuck" wagons, he
/ still dreamed OF romance, but the
young girl who is alleged to have
/ been the innocent cause OF the trag
! edy forgot, and in the intervening
years married another. When he re-
! turned Palmer scarcely recognized as
/ his youthful sweetheart the sweet
/ faced matron whose fair form had
| long since lost it's trim lines in work
and worry over the care of her chill
| dren.

Sues for Divorce
Astonishment Is Caused in New

by Litigation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4-The an
nouncement to-day that Mrs. Jose
phine DreXel Emmett had brought suit
for divorce against DR.. John Duncan
Emmett caused much establishment in
society here and in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Emmett before her marriage on
February 3, 1904, was known as the
$4,000, 600 heireSs. She was the
daughter of Joseph DreXel, partner of
j. p. Morgan. Dr. Emmett was con-
nected with the New York College of

The knowledge that an action had
been brought was the more startling
when the fact that the couple had
separated was not known to many of
their intimate friends.

There can be not the least doubt

American women should be al
