Father of Young Man Ar
rives and Will Take
Charge Of Him.

A RTHUR j. CoILIGAN' who
walked into the Franklin street
police station at Buffalo. n. y, one
day last week aud confessed that he
murdered Belle Hopkins in Tulsa four
years ago by slashing her with a
knife and then cut his throat ana
leaped from the window of the Arl-
lngton hotel, will probably be turned
over to his father today and placed
in a sanitarum at pittsburgh, Ia
County Attorney j. T. Evers wired the
Buffalo police yesterday that the
county did not want the man and that
so far as he was concerned he could
be turned loose.
A dispatch from Buffalo, received
here yesterday. stated that Patrick
Colligan, father of the young man, ar
rived there and was trying to procure
his release from jail and take him TO
an institution where he can be treated
as he Is believed to be insane. Patrick
Colligan is general freight agent of
the Baltimore * Ohio railroad at
Pittsburgh
The dispatch said Colligan's father
told the police that his son had been
! roaming the country for the past !
years and that he had not heard of
| him or from him in that time. lie said
| his son has been suffering from tenn
| porary spells of insanity and has been
mentally deranged.
Colligan recognized his father, but
appeared dazcd and could not talk
nationally The police say he appears
| absent-minded and appears to forget
| that he is in custody. Colligan's S
father has procured an attorney and
Will make application to the munich
| pal court for his son s release.
| After County Attorney j. Il. Evers
received "a telegram yesterday SAYING
that friends and relatives of Coli
gans were trying to procure his re-
| lease he wired back to release the
man from custody.
Eyers called attention to the law
governing murder in this state, which
sets no limitation as to time of bring
ing action and the statute governing
other crimes which makes II necessary
to bring action within three years
after the offense is committed.
His letter in part follows:
You will see that il this persot
should be charged with murder, th'
court would have to give an instruc
tion on homicide or murder in the sec
ond degree. and instruct. If the cour
or Jury found from the evidence tina
the defendant was guilty Of lcsse
degree than murder In the first de
gree. to acquit the defendant unies
the court believed the crime wa
committed within three years mex
before the commencement Of tn
prosecution.
There never has been an inforina
ton filed against Colligan and limita
tiCn has run for all crimes eXcep
murder in the first degree and fee
II would be a waste of time AM
money to bring this party back 70
this offense. The very fact that

would. in its nature. reduce the or
fense from murder in the first defre
as has been recently held by one o
our courts.

While the properties Of the coffee

were unknown In Constantlnople until

Seeding Crimson Glover

College Park, Md, Aug, lin
circular on Crimson Glover, Nicholas
Schmitz, Of the Maryland Experiment
Station, advises seeding between the
middle of July and the middle OF Sep
TENDER. He says, Along the water
fronts in Southern Maryland and In the
southern part of the Eastern Shore, 1t
may be safe to sow as late as the mid.
die of September or little later, but
by far the best results are obtained II
seeded month or six weeks earlier.
In the northern part of the Eastern
Shore and in the crimson clover sec
ton of Hartford, Baltimore, Howard
and Montgomery counties, 1t should
not be seeded later than September
1st, and preferably four or five weeks
earlier. In Carroll county and In al
most all the lower attitudes OF Freder.
lex and Washington counties and IN
the Mountain Section, 1t is seldom safe
10 SOW after August 25th, and it may
be seeded as early as July 18th.
