Man Who Surrenders in Jena Indicted
on Murder Charge Forty Years Ago.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 10. His
eyes dimmed with age, and his
body stopped by the weight of
nearly eighty years, Benjamin
A. Miller. former town marshal
of Riverton, H., Tuesday sur
rendered to parish authorities at
Jena, La, and asked that he be
sent back to Springfield to stand
trial on an indictment for MUIR
der committed nearly forty years
ago. This information was re-
ceived here in a telegram from
Sheriff T. j. Drewett of Jena.
According to the telegram Mil
Ter issued a statement in which
he said:
II am near death. For years
/ have been a hunted animal,
driven from corner. to corner of
the earth, fleeing from possible
arrest on the indictment charg-
ing me with murder. | am tired
and near death. / wish to sur
render myself"
A deputy sheriff will be sent
to bring Miller back to Spring
field.
In 1879 James Kirlin, a River
ton, ILL.,, saloonkeeper was shot
and killed. Miller. then the town
marshal, was indicted for the
crime, but disappeared.

Town Talk gives the following
interesting particulars about the
vote:
There has been the greatest ex-
element in the city and parish
over the returns. which were
slow in arriving from FIVE or six
of the country precincts that
were without telephone commun-
ication. These boxes were esti-
mated last night in various ways,
both sides claiming small MAORI
ties. Up to midnight there was
a majority of about fifty-one
against prohibition. with five pre-
cincts to be heard from. Later
in the night some of these pre-
cincts were heard from and the
reported majority was 6 against.
Later in the forenoon when some
of the returns began to arrive, it
was found that many of the fig
ures received by both the drys
and vets had to be revised.
The square around the court
house and the court house itself
was crowded with anxious citi-
zens of both sides of the PROPOSE
ton. Every man had his pencil
and pad, jotting down anything
and everything that anybody
would tell him relative to the fig
ures at the various boxes. At
every report totals had to be
changed and therefore everybody
was at sea to know the real truth.
In fact the only substantial re-
port was that it was mighty
close one way or the other" La
ter in the morning, or at about
the noon hour the returns SEEM
ed to settle themselves about the
figure of seven majority for the
drys."
The vote in Alexandria gave a
majority of SAT for the vets, the
vote being 841 wet and 294 dry.
Great crowds gathered at the
wet headquarters at the Rapides
Hotel last night to hear the news
as it was received over the phone
from all sections of the parish.
at the prohibition headquarters
in Rev. E. O. Wares Office in
the Masonic building there was
a crowd of dry supporters anx-
iously receiving the news. All
sections of the parish were phon-
ing to both headquarters here
asking hungriy for the news.

statements by reputable physi-
clans and prominent citizens of

forward with a denial of the false
charges. Five physicians dispos-
ed of the appendicitis charge,
and three citizens contradicted
the secret ballot charge; yet
Colonel Pleasant has not correct
ed his statements.
Colonel Pleasant" said Mr..
Barrett, is hoist by his own Pc
tard. He has made two direct
charges in this campaign to i'm
peach my sincerity, and each
time his statements have been
shown to be absolutely untrue"
As to the charge of being an OPP
portunist, Mr.. Barrett said the
activity of his opponent in accept
ing the Endorsement of the New
Orleans bosses was the most
marked instance of opportunism
in this entire campaign.
The speaker was in fine fettle
and spoke with freedom, evident
iy pleased to find himself in the
house of his friends. He refer
red to several planks in his plat
form, opposition to increased tax
rate, liberal policy to asylums
and charitable institutions. agri-
cultural and textile training,
adjustment of useless offices,
change in the primary election
laws, etc.. and regretted that he
did not have time to discuss
them all.
Attorney H. M. Brennan in a
few well chosen remarks then
introduced Mr.. Ernest Bernstein,
ex-mayor of Shreveport, who
was here with Mr.. Barrett. This
gentleman made an interesting
speech, well spiced witty remarks
that were greatly appreciated
by the audience. He got in some
sledge hammer blows in behalf
of Mr.. Barrett. whose modesty
he said had forbidden him to re-
fer to many things which he
proceeded to say for him the
splendid record of twenty years |
of public life without a sin
gle stain upon his escutcheon;
ripe in the experience and science
of government he has backed
many measures of reform, and in
all of his twenty years of State
service he has served practically |
without remuneration. Mr.. |
Bernstein closed with an eloquent |
and earnest plea for united sup
port for a man worthy and we'll
qualified to serve the public in a
most righteous cause.
