FOUND TAMPERING
With WITNESSES
Judge Anderson Takes Promp
Action Against Accused
Defendants.

Indianapolis. March 23.-Sheriff
Dennis Shea, City Judge Thomas
Smith and Street Inspector Alexan-
der Aczel. alias Steel, three defend
ants in the Terre Haute election
case, were ordered into custody by
the United States marshal here late
today by Judge Anderson for alleg-
ed tampering with witnesses.
Judge Anderson also asserted he
would put all twenty-eight defend
ants in Jail if he heard of any fur
ther attempts to influence or bribe
government witnesses.
81 shall try to teach you gentle
men there is some law in this coun-
try" declared the court after the
jury had retired.
During the afternoon seven wit
nesses testified they were taken
from the Vingo county Jail on a writ
of habeas corpus. and brought to
Indianapolis. The. arrest of these
men apparently aroused the courts
indignation. and after questioning
District Attorney Daley, ordered the
men held here and not returned to
Vigo county.
Daley said some prisoners had
been held in solitary confinement
and a small police quarantine had
been placed on the jail. The court
warned the defense attorneys to in
struct their clients TO heed the
courts orders. A. o. Stanley. chief
counsel of the defense, started to
protest that he knew nothing OF
witnesses having been jailed. when
he was cut short by the court with
the admonition that he instruct his
clients.

CANDIDATE MORROW
ISSUES A CARD
Denies That Progressives Are
Opposed To His Nomi-
nation.

Louisville. Ky, March ga
quarrel among Kentucky Republi,
cans, bound to leave sore spots and
possibly wounds that will not heal
quickly. is developing between sup
porters of +. p. Morrow, of Somer-
set candidate for the nomination for
governor, and anti-Morrow men.
The latter, formerly avowed Pro-
gressives. say they cannot forgive
Morrow for his alleged interference
at the 1912 g. o. p. convention in
Chicago.
Morrow has issued a statement in
which he discussed conferences held
here by Republicans and Progress
sives and in which he claims support
for his candidacy by a practically
unanimous Progressive vote.
He says:
II have seen in the columns of
Louisville afternoon paper a news
item concerning a meeting between
Gen. Leslie Com BIS. pretending to rep
resent the Progressive party of Ken
lucky, and Judge George DuRelle
and Charles Scholl. of Louisville,
pretending to represent the Repub-
lican party. in which meeting it was
stated, among other things, that /
would not receive the support of the
in the State If nominal
ed for governor by my party.
1T is not true that the real lead
ers or rank and file of the Progress
sive party are opposed to me and will
not support me if nominated-the
exact contrary is the truth. Out IN
the State nearly every former and
present leader of the Progressive
party desires my nomination and will
give me an earnest support.
Gen. Combs, in stating that
was unpopular with the Progress
sives, either willfully misstated the
fact or spoke in ignorance of the
truth. He is not opposed to me be-
cause l am unsatisfactory to his par
~, but because he has transferred
to-. me his lifelong enmity for my
uncle. the late William o. Bradley.

Death of Simon Jones.

Uncle Simon Jones died at his
home in Render on the 22d inst, in
his 73d year. Uncle Simon was quite
character and quite factor in the
development of the coal fields of
Kentucky.
/ He was born in Tonmane, South
7 Wales. March 81, 1912, and was
married to Hannah Wathan, Decem-
Der rs. 1868. This union was never
blessed with any children. They
came to this country in June 1869.
Uncle Simon worked for six months
in a mine at st. Mary. Ind, near
Terre Haute. From there he went
to Tamara, ILL.,, and worked for three
months, going from there to New
burg, Ind, working there three
months. and from Newburg came to
Darlington, KY, and helped to open
the first mine of the st. Barnard
Coal Company. He stayed there for
something like year, and then
b WStit " AhOShSootiS SOuhtyp N.Y. ohN
stayed there for three months. and
in December 1872 he came to Render,
KY. and began work for the old Rem
der Coal company and worked for
them until they sold out to the Cen
trail Coal and Iron company and has
been with this company ever since.
He leaves a host of riends and
relatives to mourn their loss. His
wife known to everyone in this COM
munity, as "Auntie." is in rather
feeble health, but all that loving
friends and kindsmen can do is be-
ing done for her in this, her great
hour of trouble. Uncle Simon was
buried in Render burying ground on
Wednesday the Gath inst. Rev.
Hiram Brown preached the funeral.

Sliinnying ON Other Side.

According to friends of Edwin p.
Morrow. who is seeking the Republi-
can nomination for Governor, they
have traced the alleged Bull"

position to his candidacy to certain
Democratic sources at Frankfort, and
from what they say coterie of OBJ
liging Democratic "bOsses." who have
heretofore been believed to have con-
fined their benefcient efforts to run

voting some attention TO selecting

band of masked and armed regula.
tors last night at Ii o'clock, went to
the home of Thomas Tilford. a well.
known and prominent farmer who
lives about 2la miles from Rockport
and after Selling him and his son
Fred, took them into nearby thicket
and after instructing them to do GER
tain things. whipped them with hick-
DRY switches.
The whipping was not very severe
and after it had been administered
they were allowed to return to their
homes. The attack. il seems, from
the story told reporter for The Re-
publican by Mr.. Tilford, grew out OF
a "possum hunter" warning that was
recently posted on the gate of Henry
Stearsman who lived on Mr. Tilford's
farm. 1t seems that the "possum
hunters" somehow got the impress
sion that Mr.. Tilford himself tackled
the sign on the gate. Mr.. Tilford is
emphatic in his denial of any par
ticipation in the placing OF the warn
ing. II did not know anything about

ALL" said Mr.. Tilford in an interview
with a reporter. Mr.. Tilford holds
no i'll feeling against the regulators
as he firmly believes they were I'M
der misapprehension and were mis-
taken in the guilty party.
Just why Fred Tilford. Mr.. Til
fords son was taken is not known.
He formally lived here where he was
employed in the coal mines. only re-
Gently he moved to his fathers farm
near town. He is well known here
and is liked by everybody. as is his
father.
After the whipping the possum
hunters advised Mr.. Tilford to come
to this city and have the matter
published in The Republican and 9TH
er papers. This Mr.. Tilford did this
morning.
