Warden Drum took charge of the
prison, and one of his first acts
was to take the convict away from
the jute mill and give him a
trusty's position.
Hildebrandt was suspicious of
everyone and resentful OF every
act. He had been paroled after
his first sentence for highway rob-
berry in Tacoma, only to be sent
back for life after numbering a
hold-up victim.
The tortures of prison life had
not caused him to respect prison
rules. He had been treated as the
wolf-dogs of Alaska are treated,
and he was always ready to snap
back at his prosecutors.
Marked Change.
But when Hildebrandt found
that he was receiving kind treat
ment, his attitude began to
change. Gov. Lister allowed him
an interview, and the convict
smiled for days in the thought OF
it.
In review of Hildebrandt's life,
the prison magazine for Septem-
Der says:
For a period OF more than two
years his conduct was most ex-
emplary. He performed the duties
required of him with scrupulous
fidelity and spent his spare time
in reading good books and max
ing curios, at which he had &C
quired unusual skill, notwith-
standing the fact that he had but
one arm.
"At this time a marked change
was noticeable in Hildebrandt's
trend of thought and attitude to.
ward the world. His moral vision
became clearer, he sensed his
own culpability and definitely
made up his mind to make good
when released. OF his sincerity
there can be no question"

August Bonafide. 80 years old, an
Italian laborer, fired three shots
through a window of his house
Sunday afternoon. using new
rifle that he had purchased as
protection from imagined persecu-
tors.
Jasper Montoleone, age As, 1852
South 57th street, was shot
through the left breast and died
instantly. Pasquale Roumaine,
7O2 South seth street, was struck
in the back, suffering a shattered
shoulder blade and internal in
iuries. He will recover.
Mrs. Mary Montoleone felt the
wind of a bullet that sped past
her face as she was clambering
over a fence to get out of range
of the rifle.
Family Runs Away.
Bonafide, who lives with his
wife and three children at 1903
South seth street, gave himself
up to police ten minutes later, and
will be charged with first degree
murder. His wife and family
rushed from the house immediate
ly after the shooting, and have
not yet been found by the police.
The laborer told police that he
had been prosecuted by neigh bors
for several weeks. He showed
several broken panes in his win
dows, declaring they were caused
by stones thrown from the outside
after darkness. II was through
one of these broken window panes
that he leveled HIS new rifle upon
the group of neighbors.

Mrs. Montoleone told the po-
lice that several Italians in the
neighborhood had been helping a
friend move, and were on their
way homie when Rongon, who
lives next door to Bonafide, STOP
ped them and asked them to look
at his garden. They were paying
no attention to Bonafide, and had
no reason to ridicule or prosecute
him, she said.
The police believe Bonafide's
mind had become unbalanced as
the result of a fall from the 18th
street viaduct to the street a year
ago. At that time several broken
ribs punctured his lungs and he
had to undergo an operation.

Osborne said that he had worked
with the indiana Bridge company for
the past fifteen years with the excep-
ton of three years from 1908 to 1913.
He is an associate member of the ma
tional society of civil engineers. His
specially is iron bridge work.
During his testimony question arose
over the Smith bridge, which was
built three years ago. The Indiana
bridge company submitted bid on the
plans of Mueller but were refused the
contract
Mordecai Doddridge, president of
the board. who was a member of the
board when the Smith bridge contract
was let, explained that the reason the
Indiana Bridge company was not
awarded the contract was because they
had submitted bid only on the SUI
perstructure and had ignored the sub
structure of the bridge.
Explains Refusal.
To this Mr.. Osborne replied that he
requested the plans for the substitute
ture but was informed that none were
made and presuming that the board
did not intend to let the contract for
this work at that time. he submitted
his bid only on the superstructure.
The chief point on which Osborne's
testimony hinged was the work he had
done on the Cedar Grove bridge in
Franklin county. Mueller had made
the plans for this bridge and it was
asserted at the hearing last week that
Mueller's plans were unsatisfactory
and the Indiana Bridge company
which secured the contract lost consid-
cradle money because additions had
to be made which were not specified
Osborne alleged this morning that

the plans submitted by Mueller at
that time, called for bridge that was
five feet short of spanning the space
between the two abutments. When
the men began their work they found
that they had to make an entirely new
abutment which cost considerable
money, he said.
why is it that the Indiana Bridge
company can not submit plans for
work in Wayne county," asked Rel
ler
Because the bridge plans here do
not call for an economical construc-
ton, and the plans and specifications
made by Mueller are not scientific,
said the witness. 1T is difficult to
carry out Mueller's ideas and come
within the price. The joists are too
heavy and are not the standard
weight"
How does that keep you people
out?" asked Keller.
I'VE could not do the work for the
contract price secured for work here
and keep from skimping the specifi-
cations" replied Osborne. 1.-The diff
ference in the weights of the beams

which might not be detected / want
it understood that am not saying this
has been done. but it is a possibility"
Osborne said also that the plans and
specifications made by Mueller. which
always called for corrugated steel
forms for concrete, are expensive and
the county loses money by having
them specified in the plans.
The question of the Main street tenn.
porary bridge was then taken up with
the witness, who said that a bridge
should be built on a level with the
present Main street bridge. according
to the plans of Davis of Elkhart, whose
plans were rejected by the commits
sioners.
T would have tested the Main street
bridge before l condemned it," said
Osborne. Il do not know whether this
is done or not, but have been given to
understand that it was not done by
Mueller.

The old block house. used by the
whites over century ago for protect
ion against the Indians, is believed by
the pupils of District No. l, Middleboro
to be worthy of marker as an his
torical spot in Wayne county. The
old block house is located about 200
yards east of the intersecting roads
at MiddleborO.
Miss Maude Baker, an eighth year
pupil of District No. /, writes interest
ingly on this subject, and her essay
has been submitted to the county
superintendent and will later be for
warded to the Wayne County Histor-
ical Society.
Marks in the rock around Middle
boro show that the Indians got lead
to make bullets from place near the

that the Indians melted the lead here.

OLD cox MILL.

THE Mills" is the subject of the
essay of Nellie McEldowney. Of Dis
trict No. l, Wayne township. The
essay tells why the old mill at Mid
dleboro. or Cox's mills, should be
marked as a place of historical merit
in Wayne county. The mill was found
ed by jeremiah Cox, the first Wayne
county settler who took a claim in
Middleboro in 1900. The first mill
was built in 1927. 1t was twenty feet
square and was built of logs 1899,
it was rebuilt with brick and is the
same building that is now being used
at Middleboro.
