of these raids happen at night, and,
while the identity of the bandits may
be surmised, there is no clear proof

that men who pose as laborers by day

the bandits is not so much secret.

VERDICT FOR
BOTH DEFENDANTS
Miss Copeland And Turk Dis
charged By Jury at
Mayfield.

Mayfield, Ky, March 16.-AIay
CopelaIil and Lucien Turk secured
their freedom this afternoon, when a
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
Both parties have been on trial for
several days on the charge Of having
murdered Hugh Atchison, a farmer OF
Carlisle county last July. This is
the second trial of the case. the first
resulting in a hung jury.
The deceased married May Cope
lands sister. She claimed that he
had outraged her on one occasion in
a bathroom at his home. She had
never revealed this fact under fear
Of death, as she sa-s THAT he threat
ened her and that he would assault
her any time he wanted ito.
On the night OF the killine Turk
ar,i Miss Copeland drove to Atchi-
sons home. Miss Copeland got out
of the buggy and went into the house.
Atchison again attempted to ravish
the girl, when she pulled the pistol
and shot him in the dark. Turk, who
was in the buggy waiting for Miss
Copeland, accompanied the young
lady home, and he did not know OF
the shooting until the next day. VIII n
the officers came to arrest him in
connection with the crime.

Free Soup in Camden.

Much to its regret the Post-Teae-
gram has had to chronicle the open
ing of free soup house on the East
Side. This is the first occasion n1oe
the memorable hard times Of the
Cleveland administration, we believe,
that the necessity for public soup
houses has been felt in Camden.
While under normal conditions RE
number OF unemployed is greater 1T
this season than at any other time
OF the year. there is unquestionably
an abnormal dulness in TIE local Ia
Dor market. 1t is the belief of many
that this abnormal condition is due
To the operation OF the Wilson-Un-
'ierwood Tariff and other Damocrat-
ic legislation. But we cannot stop to
argue this question while hunger
stalks in our midst.
The duty of the moment is to re-
love distress, provide food for the
hungry ami devise some sort OF pub
lie relief work that will furnish EN-
ploymont to heads OF families who
now walk the streets in idleness and
are compelled to eat the bread OF
charity.

MISS FANNIE EVANS
PLUNGES To Death
Daughter Of U. S. District
Judge Falls From
Window.

Louisville, Ky, March l6.--Miss
Fannie Louise Evans, SO, only daugh-
ter of Judge Walter Evans, of the
United States District count, plunged
to instant death at sos o'clock yes
terday morning from a third story
wil1ow In hte Wessinger-Ga
apartments, to the concrete pavement
80 feet below.
The body was picked up few sec
onds Later ~ residents of the build
ing who witnessed the fall. The body,
clad in night clothing, was crushed
by > impact on the paving and the
neck was broken. According to DR..
Ellis Duncan death was instantane-
Gus.
Although several persons saw the
fall of the body, no one witnessed the
plunge from the window. Among the
first to reach her side was j. Lith-
gov Smith. of the Fidelity AMI Co
lumbia Trust company. who has apart
ments in the building. DIR. Cuthbert
Thompson was summoned but when
he arrived life was extinct. A small
crucifix was found beside the body.
Judge Evans was notified of the
tragedy by Mr.. Smith. He is pros
trated with grief. II
She had been in a nervous condi-
ton for about two years. During the
last few days her condition had been
worse than usual. Allie G. Ronald,
clerk of the Federal court. who acted
as spokesman for the family said
Miss Evans tainted twice Friday
night and in falling cut her arm in
two places.
Mss Evans, who has always been deli
cate in health. according to her init
mates, had suffered from nervous
trouble ever since the death OF her
mother many years aso.
For the last two years, however,
friends sly, since she underwent an
operation for appendicitis, her condi-
ton has been more serious.
Thursday afternoon, however, she
seemed much better. Friends, who
met her at a reception, congratulated
her upon her seemingly improved con-
dition. They say she seemed more
cheerful than she had been for some
time.
Miss Evans retired Saturday night
feeling badly. Judge Evans did not
see her again until the body was
found on the paving yesterday morn
ing. The time when she arose Is not
known, but is presumed to have been
shortly before the accident as she
had not dressed for the morning.
The tragedy threw pail over the
residents OF the fashionable Weissing-
er.Gaulbert apartment. Durins the
afternoon the Evans suite w&s visited
by scores of friends who called to
express their grief over the calamity.
Only - most intimate friends were
admitted however, ara of these, but
a few saw Judge Evans personally. =,
Miss Evans was born in Louisville.
She lived here all her life with the
of about eight years which
she spent in Washington. while her
father served in congress and as conf
missioner of internal revenue.
The funeral which is to lie private,
will be held at $3.50 O'Clock this al
ternoon in the Evans apartments.

SKELETON FOUND
IN ARMY CLOSET
Injustices Of U. 5. Military
Service Sharply Criti-
ciSed.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE LII
seems to be off at the war depart
ment.
All sorts of unpleasant facts about
the injustices and cruelties of our
military system are leaking out.
The latest disclosure, following the
Coffman and George cases, is that
of Private Howard Johnson, formerly
Of Troop X, First Cavalry. The case
beats anything SO far disclosed. Pri-
vate Johnson is serving a sentence
of five years at haIh labor in the Mil
itary Prison at Fort LeavenwOrth,
Kansas, after having been dishon-
orably discharged and FORGETTING all
pay and allowances due him. 1t is
almost unbelievable, but the offense
charged against this SO Her and Of
which the military court foul Il him
guilty. was that having been ordered
to decap fired Shells" he Ibid throw
away a number of the shells Civ
en- him to decap."
For this crime he was charged with
conduct to the prejudice of good Or
der and military discipline" and al
SO of "disobedience of oIders," In
that having received a lawful COM
mand from his superior officer. Sec
ond Lieutenant John F. Wall, to de-
cap fired shells" he did willfully
'disobey the same" This is what
happens when a private offends
Second Lieutenant.
The ether side of the system is
shown up in the case of an offense OF
a Second Lieutenant against pri-
vate. Second Lieutenant John F.
Brown, of the Philippine Scouts, was
brousht before court martial at
Fort Santiago, Manila, p. L., and
charge,l with the following: Open.
ly and publicly maintaining improper
and Illicit relations with one Mar
tina Camarino, a Filipino woman,
the sster-in-law OF Private Ysabelo
Be!tran. Forty third Company, Phil
ippine Scouts"
He was further charged with fraud
in issuing worthless checks, with con-
duct to the prejudice OF goe1 order
and military discipline in allowing
forage animals under his charge TO
go without food for three weeks, and
with embezzlement of United States
funds. He was found guilty on all the
charges, excepting certain words in
the charges. His sentence was as
follows: "To be dismissed from the
service of the United States"
Private johnson refused to decap
some fired shells. Five years at hard
labor in a military prison, hishonOr-
able discharge, forfeiture Of all pay
and allowances.
Second Lieutenant Brown MAIN
tanned improper relations with a SOL
dier's sister-in-law, issued false
checks, starved Government cattle,
embezzled Government money: Dis
miss,l from the service. !
That is the kind of military "jus-
tice" which is making it hail for
Uncle Sam to recruit men for mill
tary service. even with the cities full
OF unemployed and hungry men. That
is why the army is manufacturing
criminals convicts nhySiCal wrecks
and undesirables.
