HUNTS BLUE DRESS
Tim Donovan Goes in Pursuit
of an Azure Garment.
He Finds 1t and Incidentally
the Wearer.

With nothing but the color of a
girls dress for a clue, Tim Donovan
and Chief Parsons pulled off a Sher-
lock Holmes stunt today at noon that
resulted in the returning of a pocket
book to its owner just twenty minutes
after report that the pockerbook
was missing had been turned in at
police headquarters.
The case began when a VOung
lady, petite and pretty, tripped into
the Union Pacific depot in North To-
peka. The girl was about eighteen.
Attracted by girl about her own age
who was seated in the waiting room
and wearing blue dress that was
yet more attractive than the wearer,
young lady No 1 sat down and gave
the piece of wearing apparel the "once
over" So absorbed did she become
in the texture and design of the dress
that she absently dropped her pocket
book on the seat beside her. A few
minutes afterwards the owner of the
pocketbOok decided to take a stroll
on the depot platform. Later she
missed her purse which contained her
tickets, and rushed back into the
depot. The purse was missing. So
was the girl in blue.
She telephOned to the police station
and Tim Donovan was sent out to do
some sleuthing. Almost frantic, all
that the girl could remember was the
blue dress. Donovan went on a still
hunt for a blue dress. Walking up
Kansas avenue he made inquiries of
patrolmen and finally Patrolman
Sturm was .accosted. Sturm was able
to furnish the information that a girl
in a blue dress, accompanied by two
elderly people, had asked him what
car to take to get to a certain address
on the West side
Chief Parsons and Donovan made a
''bee line for the address-likewise
the dress-found the pocketbook and
the girl. The girl said she just picked
nd n n 10
pot to find the owner.
No arrests were made.

dence OF any graft. He was unable
to obtain any proof of certain 1ndtvid-

The day after Wallace hastily de-
parted from this community, jury
IN a local court acquitted Wllilam
Morris another negro. on an assault
charge growing out of an attack with
revolver in which Wallace was
wounded twice and Charles Trap. a
Topeka printer, was shot in the foot
by stray bullet. Wallace worked in
Traps shop. He met Morris one
morning on East Eighth street and the
shooting followed Morris's acquittal
was believed to result from popular
sympathy for the man.
Shortly before the shooting Wallace
had been tried on murder charge,
following the death by drowning in
the Kaw river in April, 1912, of Mabel
Morris. William Morris's daughter.
The young woman'S body was found
in the river on the day after she had
been seen with Wallace. Wallace was
accused of having robbed her and
thrown her into the river. but, after a
hard fought trial, was acquitted, the
only direct evidence against him being
furnished by local characters, whose
testimony was impugned. 1t was after
the acquittal that the girls father
undertook to administer punishment
according to his own lights. BY the
time Morris was tried on the shooting
charge Wallace had recovered from
his wounds and he left town just few
hours before his assailant was restored

"Chicken" Campbell, Negro
Trusty. Under Grilling Fire.
Husband of Murdered Woman
Calls Story Absurd.
SENSATION" NEAR At HAND
Black Closely Guarded as He
TeStifieS Before Coroner.
His Story Told at First for Most
Part mistaken.

Joliet, June e2.-Oficials of the
penitentiary here expect that the
name of the convict who murdered
the wife of Warden Allen Sunday
morning will be known today.
Chicken Joe" Campbell, the negro
trusty who has been the principal sus-
pect in the case, gave the information
on which the prediction was based.
At midnight last night Deputy
Lawrence Ryan and four other prison
officials entered Campbell's cell. The
negro, who was the last so far as is
known. to see Mrs. Allen alive, was
badly shaken by his treatment, but,
according to Ryan, did not confess.
Two Hours of Third Degree.
For two hours we gave him the
third degree" said Ryan, land he told
us enough to center suspicion on one
man. / will be surprised if a SenSa-
ton does not develop within few
hours"
Elaborate preca utions against a
demonstration of convicts were taken
when Campbell was called as a witness
by the coroner. Every prisoner, in
Guiding the TRUSTEES, was locked up.
Campbell was surrounded by twelve
guards. who rushed MIN through the
corridors to the jury room.
He was on the stand for an hour
and half and probably will be re-
called later. He told a connected
story, but in one important essential
cOntr2 dlcted the testimony given yes
terday by the turnkey, Larkin. Lar
kin said Campbell was in the Allen
apartments Sunday morning twenty
or twenty-five minutes.
II was there about three minutes"
said Campbell, '.anG the reason for
that was that 1 wanted to smoke a
cigarette. Smoking is against the
rules and 1 concealed myself in the
linen closet for a few moments to
smoke.
Story Absurd in Parts.
Warden Allen declared that Camp
bells testimony was absurd in parts.
His statement that he took the
newspaper to Mrs. Allen at 6 O'Clock
in the morning is inconsistent with
Mrs. All ems habits said the warden.
She was not an early riser and never
bothered about the news until she had
eaten breakfast"
Campbell testified Mrs. Allen called
him to bring water and to light a fire
because the morning was cool. He
brought the morning papers along
with the water and some kindli1g, he
said.
"She was lying in bed and said
Good morning. Campbell as she
usually did" testified the negro.
