GOES UP FOR LIFE
A Long Sentence Is Drawn by
Homer M. CulIOr.
Former TOpekan Confesses
Killing EmpOria Sheriff.

Homer M Cullor, who was taken
from the Shawnee county Jail to En-
poria last night, pleaded guilty to the
murder of Walter Davis, former sher-
iff of Lyon county, there today and
was sentenced to life Imprisonment in
the state penitentiary.
Cullor has been in the Shawnee
county Jail since his arrest in Iowa IN
August. He confessed to the killing
while in Jail here and agreed to plead
guilty. However, before he left for
Emporia he backed up on his confess
sion and declared he would not plead
to first degree murder; tina the would
plead only to manslaughter, stating
that it was not his intention to kill
Sheriff Davis. Apparently he again
changed his mind before going into
court in Lyon county.
Cutler killed Sheriff Davis and
wounded four of a posse. Then he
escaped. He was resisting arrest for
an alleged robbery when he committed
the murder. Officers are now doubt
full if Cullor was guilty of the robbery
for which officers were arresting him.
He was kept in the Shawnee county
Jail after his capture because of fear
of mob violence a Emporia.

testimony-being the only eye-wit-
nesses to the shooting-that the coro-
ner's jury brought in a verdict finding
Larimer blameless.
Immediately following the argu
ment over the motion of the defense
that the state be required to put it's
witnesses on the stand, court was adj
journed until afternoon Parsons and
Richardson testified, as at the coro-
ner's inquest, that when Larimer
climbed thru the gap in the hedge
fence behind the fleeing James Baker,
his foot appeared to catch in a wire or
the brush and that he pitched forward
just as the shot was fired.
Parsons testified that a1tho he saw
the shot fired and saw Baker at the
same time he did not know Baker was
hit. Baker continued to run and Par
sons walked back towards the house.
He did not know Baker had been hit
until Larimer returned to the house
and so stated. Richardson testified to
practically the same things.
Gray's Affidavit.
The only other person that the state
claims saw the shooting is G. c. Gray.
Gray made an affidavit soon alter
the shooting in which he alleged that
he walked to a well 80 or 4 0 feet from
the crowd, gathered at the house, and
that he was there when he saw Lari-
mer shoot Baker. Gray has disap-
peared. State and defense, both. have
tried to find him. Several witnesses
have testified that from the time the
raid began and Baker started to run
Gray was in the custody of officers at
a point where it would have been inn
possible for him to have seen the
shooting.
Gray left his wife and family at the
residence south of the city where the
raid was made and they have been in
actual want since. according to county
officers. One county officer was there
a few days ago. There was no fuel
and nothing to eat in the house. He
attempted to give the woman money
and she spurned it. Then he bought
three chickens at 81 each and turned
them loose between the Gray home

TURNED her OUT
Attendant at the State Hospital
Became Deranged.
She Was Promptly Turned
Loose on the Community.

There is a mystery woman" at the
county Jail. She has been there since
last Sunday and county officials have
been unable to learn her identity or
anything about her past. She is now
insane altho she showed very few
signs of it when she first reached To-
pekal
The woman apparently came from
some small town in Missouri. Officers
are of the impression that her name is
Jacobs. Some time ago she wrote to
the management of the Topeka State
hospital applying for a position as an
attendant. Her letter was so satisfac-
tory that she was told to report and
go to work.
Within a short time people at the
hospital discovered that she rambled
in her talk. She was discharged and
disappeared. For a week nothing was
heard of her.
Last Sunday the police were called
to the Y. w. c. A. upon information
that there was a crazy woman in one
of the rooms. The room had been
guarded but when the police walked
in the woman was not there. Later
she was picked up by L. L. Kiene on
Harrison street. She has been in the
county Jail since.
She is about 35 years of age, a
blonde, good looking, neat and uses
excellent English. In her raving, how
ever, she uses the vilest kind of Ian
guage. She has a mania for cleanli-
ness. She has scrubbed her cell time
after time, washes her hair two or
three times a day, takes a bath several
times day and washes her under
clothes and puts them on wet.
Sheriff Kiene has written several
letters in an effort to discover the
point from which she came. One
night it was necessary to place hand
cuffs on her to prevent her from in
turing herself

State Offers to Rest in the
- Larimer Case.
r.
The Court Rules That the Trial
Must Proceed.
Entitled TO ALL EVIDENCE
Attorney for Defense Wants All
Witnesses Called.
Chief Harvey Parsons and Bert
- Richardson Testify.

In a ruling made just before noon
today Judge A. w. Dana declined TO
permit the state to rest in the muir
der trial in which Hugh Larimer, I'M
dersheriff, is charged with the killing
Of James Baker. He required the
state to go ahead and place witnesses
it had subpoenaed, upon the stand,
after John Mclaughlin, attorney for
the state, expressed his intention to
quit.
Since the jury was secured, Wednes-
day afternoon, four or five witnesses
subpoenaed by the state have been ex-
arlined. None of them has testified
upon any of the vital points of the
shooting Nothing had been brought
out by the state at noon today bearing
directly upon the murder charge
hanging over Larimer But McLaugn-
lin declared that the state would
rest upon the evidence so far intro
duced-meaICng that the states evil
dence was all in.
John Schenck, attorney for Lari-
mer. objected. He addressed the
court, declaring that it was due Lar1-
mer that the state put every witness
it had subpoenaed on the stand; that
if the state had any evidence against
Larimer the jury should know it and
that if it did not the jury was en-
titled to know it. Mclaughlin had
stated that one of it's eye witnesses,
G. c. Gray, was absent and could not
be found. He gave that as the chief
reason for resting" The other eye
witnesses, Harvey Parsons, chief of
police, and Bert Richardson, motor
cycle policeman, both subpoenaed by
the state, Mclaughlin declined to put
on-the stand; at least they had not
been put on when the state rested.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Em-
phatic denial was made by the British
embassy this afternoon of the chief
portion of the German memorandum,
as made public by Won Bernstorff
yesterday. 1t declared that the British
government, never having ratified the

any way by its provisions. Holding
up by British warships of the Will

this took place only after German
warships had sunk the Frye and

Ireland from the United States. Ger
man mine sowing is declared illegal
and the German action in sinking the
Admiral Ganteaume and the Asturias

SIXTY CENT
GAS RATE
IS SPURNED

Wilfred Jessup, counsel, and N. H.
Johnson. manager of the Richmond
Light, Heat and Power company, act
ing under instructions of the United
Gas and Power company Of New York,
which owns the local company, today
appeared before the board of public
works and offered a compromise gas
rate with 60 cents as the maximum.
This would be an increase of 20 cents
over the existing maximum and 10
cents less that the company recently
applied for in a petition filed with
the Indiana public utilities commits
sion
THE compromise proposal presented
by the Light, Heat and Power COM
pany this morning was promptly turn
by the board" President Bavis stated
after the conference. "The city had
no compromise proposal to advance
so 1t will be up to the state commission
to establish gas rates for Richmond.
The city still stands pat on it's de-
mand that no gas rate shall be formu-
lated until physical valuation of
the company's property has been OBJ
tanned to be used as a basis for rate
making"
N. H. Johnson, before the confer
ence was called, stated that he did
not anticipate the city would accept
the compromise rate offered, although
he thought the compromise was a
very fair one.
