LEHMAN CASE

The Prosecuting Attorneys office,
after hearing wonderment as to why
the State should publish certain mat
ters pertaining to the Lehman case,
in a recent article contributed by
Frank S. Ham, under the title Of
Raising the Curtain" when the case
is still pending in the Court of Ap-
peals, desires to make the following
statement:
Mr.. Ham assumed the privilege of
publishing matters with regards the
case, which lay wholly within the au-
thority of <my office, and no other
person; Mr.. Ham never asked my
permission, well knowing he would
not receive it.
1t has never been the practice of
this office to discuss matters of pro-
cedure or evidence in criminal cases.
only in the office, yet, alone to cast
to the four winds as mere specula-
tive hallucinations matters which
might have dwelt in the minds of the
defendants attorneys (and of which
we have no proof) for these attorneys
were not in the habit of giving the
State a blue print of their plan Of
procedure.
Mr.. Ham clearly went beyond his
scope, as an assistant in the case
when he revealed to the public a
this stage of the Lehman case any
information the State had, either rea
or imaginary; Mr.. Ham was nevel
given the position of special prose
cutor, and had no right to assum
any prerogatives which lie who'll,
with the Prosecuting Attorney.
Mr.. Ham deserves great credit TO
the splendid service he rendered tn
State, but for this anility he was Sc
lected by me, and for this ability h
was paid accordingly, and when h
was so paid, his connection with thi
case ceased, as did Mr.. Everett's.
When I read Mr.. Hams one state
ment in, his article that 81 have CO
cluded it proper to raise the curtain,
> wonder since when he is Prosecut
ing Attorney, and take due credit t
> himself that he was the whole pei
sonality in the case, and in fairnes
and justice to DR.. Bishop, Sheri
> Boone and Deputy McQuillin, Dete,
: tive O'Reilly, and my assistants, M
> Everett and Garfield, say these me
> did noble work in their respectiy
lines, and knew every scintilla of e,
idence and every surprise to be sprun
as soon as did Mr.. Ham. Individ,
! ally, care not what credit I get
y do not get in the case, for my OF
aim was to have justice brought
i Fred Lehman if he were guilty
: such a crime.
This office cares not how mar
& laurels Mr.. Ham lays at the feet
Mr.. Winn; but it does care and W
u not assume the responsibility, al
/ does object to the criticism of M
Fowler, by or through any artic
II purporting to come from the off
of the Prosecuting Attorney.
!. l may be mistaken, but if t
g Prosecuting Attorney desires al
j., information published or any theori
q exploded in any criminal case, tn
y nature has endowed us with suffice
talent to reduce the same to writil
al ourselves.

NEW PENSION LEGISLATION

Hon. John S. Shook, congressman
from this district, has sent out a,
circular letter to the veteran soldiers
of the district informing them of the
recent pension legislation which has
been enacted by Congress; the law
in regard to pensions for Civil War
veterans is now substantially as fol-
lows:
Sec. 6. That from and after the
Passage of this amendment the rate
of pension for any person who
served ninety days or more in the
military or naval service of the
United States during the Civil War
now on the roll or hereafter to be
placed on the pension roll and en-
titled to receive less rate than
hereinafter provided, shall be $50
per month. In case such person has
reached the age of 72 years and
served six months, the rate shall
be $32 per month; one year, $35
per month; one and half years,
$38 per month; two years or over,
$40 per month; provided, this
amendment shall not be so con-
strued as to reduce any pension un-
der any act, public or private.
This amendment places the small
est pension at one dollar a day an in
creases the rate according to age and
service.
Mr.. Shook has also requested the
publication of the following letter OF
information:
The Commissioner of Pensions
informs me that no Civil War vet
eran now drawing pension under
the Age and Service law will neeo
file an application in order to re
ceive the increase of pension pro
vided for under the Act of Juns
10th, 1918, as their age and ser
vice is already on file in his office
All soldiers drawing under any
other than the Age and Service
law will be required to file an ap
plication in order to secure sucl
increase Of pension.
I will be glad to answer any in
quiry concerning the law ant
would ask that all soldiers VIII,
write US state under what law the,
are drawing and give their age an
service.

PROUD OF MARINES
Joe Aldrich Is Proud of the Men He
Has Trained to Shoot Straight; But
Is Anxious to Do Some Shooting
on His Own Account.
Rifle Range, June 13, 1918

Dear Grandma:
Your letter of the 4th at hand. I
suppose you have read the papers and
know what the Marines have done
and are doing over there. ALI the
expert rifemen and sharpshooters of
this detachment are going over as
soon as we get the men trained who
are here now. That includes me. I'm
qualified men will be sent to the
Tropics.
Every one seems very anxious to
go to France. Of course we get
credit for our high qualifications of
men and all that, but that is not
what we enlisted for - "to train
others to fight" The Marine Corps
is using the modified Enfield rifle
now; heretofore, we were using the
Springfield.
Will try and get home before
leave, but if don't will write you
what details permitted.
l sure am proud of the active part
the Marines have taken on the west
ern front. There are some in the
casualty list that I came to know
quite well in the course of training
They are Tor were) men whom it Is
good to know" I wish you coulo
come to know the men and see then
as they are after they have finished
their advanced training at Quantico
We know, and God knows; and they
seem to have great sense of salts
faction in knowing they are men.
They are beyond doubt the bes
body of trained men in the service
That is why the Germans call III
"Devil Dogs"
Well, I must close, as it is "chow'
time. Hoping you are well and viii
remember me to our friends.
Your loving grandson,
i JOE.

EIGHTEEN MORE
Men Of Fulton County Leave For
Camp sherman Tuesday Morning
Friends and Relatives Gather to
Bid Them God Speed.

Eighteen more of Fulton county's
registered men were called into the
military service of the United States
this week and left Wauseon last Tues
day morning for Camp Sherman; of
these, IA were to fill the quota of the
last regular call and four to fill va
cancies caused by reflections or dis
charge of men previously sent for
ward.
The Boy Scouts, with their drum
and bugle corps acted as escort to
the men from the court house to the
New York Central station, and a
large crowd of friends and relatives
followed the procession to the. rail-
road grounds, where the leave-tak-
ings were said.
Tuesday morning was an especially
trying time, especially for the men
who were leaving; wives, mothers, sis
ters, sweethearts, and even some OF
the male relatives seemed to forget
to "turn the dark cloud inside out
and help their men by being as brave
as they want their men to be. Send
the boys away. with a smile; 1t Is

OVERSTEpPING
Irregularities That Keep the Sheriffs
Busy and Annoy Citizens-Young
Fellows From Michigan Try Law
lessness in Ohio.

Last Friday morning Mr.. James
brennan discovered that he was mi
nus a good horse, Jacob Souder was
minus a buggy and harness, and la
ter it was discovered that the King
school house had been ransacked and
some carpenter tools that had been
left in the school house were gone.
There were other articles that were
missing and the owners of the miss
ing articles were drawn together at
the aforementioned school house. Mr..
Souder traced his buggy and harness
mile and a half where some one had
dragged it by hand. Mr.. brennan
tracked his horse to the same point,
where the horse had evidently been
hitched to the buggy and the entire
loot had been driven away. Sheriff
Boone was notified and within a very
short time searching parties had been
sent out in various directions to in
tercept the thieves.
Sheriff Boone found his quarry
three miles east of Oak Shade where
he, the thief, had 11nhitched the horse
and was reclining on a blanket that
he had taken from the barn of John
Gorsuch. The thief and loot were
brought to Wauseon, where the thief
was lodged in jail and the stolen ar
ticles so far as possible restored to
their rightful owners.
The thief proved to be a young fell
low, Frank Riemer by name, who
claims to have hailed from Rose City,
Mich, and that he will be II years
of age on the 23rd day of next Octo-
Der. But officials are not disposed
to think that he has told the exact
truth in regard to his age, as he ap-
pears to be much older than he
claims; seems to be thoroughly ac-
quainted with the streets of Toledo,
and has been identified as a straw
eler" who spent one night last week
in the Archbold lookup. Judge Bar
ber is waiting for corroboration of
at least part of Riemer's story be-
fore proceeding to take action in the
case, as he is not sure whether the
lad comes within his jurisdiction.
Friday the sheriff was called down
into Swan Creek township to take
into custody two young fellows who
had broken into houses down in that
township. They were brought to
: Wauseon, and at the hearing before
Justice Deyo it was developed that
their names were Mcintyre and Latta
: Both had registration cards and both
hailed from Battle Greek, Mich. Their
story was that, knowing they had to
go to war they had determined to see
something of their own country be-
fore they went, and having travelled
as far as Swan Creek and being hun.
CRY, they had entered the houses Il
! order to find something to eat.
: The court fined them S5 each anG
- costs and remanded them to jail un
Z til paid. The boys "signaled" home
: headquarters for financial relief
which arrived last Monday, when the!
! paid their fines and departed for Bat
:. tie Creek. Whether they had seel
, enough of the country or not the.
- did not say.

So live that when thy summons comes
To join that innumerable caravan
Which moves to that mysterious realm
Where each shall take his chamber
in the silent halls of death,
Thou goest not like the quarry slave at nigh
scourged to his dungeon;
But, sustained and soothed by an unfalterini
trust,
Approach thy grave, like one who wraps
The drapery of his couch about him,
And lies down to pleasant dreams.
For many years he has been ;
faithful and consistent member O.
