When Was First
Murderer Tried
IN This County?

The first murder, and execution for
the crime in Wayne county, occurred
104 years ago. in the autumn of 1915,
when Henry Crist killed his son-in-law
a man named Chambers. for ill-treat-
Ing his wife, Crisis daughter.
Crist was arrested and put into the
old log Jail at Salisbury. and was
found guilty and sentenced to be hung.
The hanging was one of the leading
social events of the county and thous-
ands of people were present. Crist was
drawn to the place of execution on q
wagon, seated on his coffin. Daniel
Fraley, Methodist minister, preached
a sermon to the people and at its con.
clusion the wagon was drawn from
under Crist and he strangled to death.
The execution of Hampshire Pitts,
colored, in November, 1922, for the
murder of William Mail, was another
popular social event, thousands OF
men, women and children, from all
corners of the county, being present,
although the weather was very un-
| pleasant.
Pitts engaged a friend to take care
of his body and the friend" promptly
sold it to doctors for ten dollars, be,
fore his death. Pitts learned Of this
and got Christopher Roddy, another
| friend, to promise to keep the doc
tors from getting him. Roddy took
the body away by force, after it was
/ cut down, and buried it in the woods
miles from any house, after carrying
i it all the way on his shoulder.
Whipping, which was legal as pun
| ishment in the state until 1920, was
given as part of a sentence only once
in Wayne county, when a thief was
ordered to receive on his bare back
FIVE lashes. The governor commutee
this part of the sentence.

The Home Coming Celebration

Approved methods Of the military establish
ment prevent the keeping together of men from
a county or state in one organization, as was
done in the Civil war. Civilians understand the
reason for this change and do not complain
against method that makes for the good OF the
army while it does prevent celebrations in honor
of their own heroes.
The Indiana celebration today is not re-
strcted particularly to the 150th Field Artillery,
but is in honor of all Indiana soldiers and sailors.
The whole state is participating in the reception
for the returned fighters. Wayne county may
have only few men in the 150th, but she
had men in the Rainbow division, and also in the
divisions in France that did some of the blood
lest fighting of the war, that she need not
feel ashamed of her record nor feel that she has
no part in the Indianapolis celebration.
Every county in Hoosierdom feels the same
way about it. If we cannot have celebration
at home, we feel that the Indianapolis reception
should convince our boys that we appreciate
what they did for and in behalf of their state.
And when the boys come back, most of them
find their jobs waiting for them, or friends will
ing to see that they obtain work. Wounded and
disabled soldiers, sailors and marines know that
the government has undertaken vast voca-
tional training program and wants them to take
advantage of its provisions.
Many of the wounded men have been slow in
entering these schools. The government has
been forced to engage in propaganda work on a
gigantic scale to interest the disabled men in the
advantages of retraining themselves for voca-
ton in which they will be able to make living
It has called on the Red Cross and interested the
Elks lodge in giving publicity to the vocational
training nrooram Local branches of these or.
CARNATIONS are actively boosting the work.
Surely one element of our welcome to the re-
turned workers is to interest them in the efforts
made by their government in training and help
ing their disabled associates.

master sergeant and many private soldiers have
risen to command battalions. A collier, an iron
molder an instructor in tailoring, grocer's as
sstant as well as policemen, clerks and privates,
have commanded companies and acted as adult
ants"
Americas participation in the war was of
such short duration that few men had emporium
ity to win promotions rapidly, but the reports
from our officers training camps, as well as the
commissions given to our private, show that no
handicaps of birth or social environment prevent
ed man from going forward. Commissions were
won by merit and ability, and were distributed
among men who had engaged in civilian pursuits
as widely divergent those set out in the report
of Sir Douglas Haig.
All of which goes to show that the world is
still looking for merit and paying for it's service
in civilian or military capacities. The cry OF the
bolshevists and reds that opportunity has been
usurped by capitalism and that hard work and
conscientious performance Of duty will not be re-
warded nowadays is as contradictory to the facts
as it is silly to deny the accuracy of Sir Douglas
Haigs report
The men who succeeded are the men who try.
The laggards and n1alcontents who expect to OBJ
tain share of the worlds wealth without pro-
portionate expenditure Of work have wrong
conception of their place and duty in this world
Their philosophy of life is inherently falac1ous
and bound to lead them into extremes and vag-
aries. Nine-tenths of the bolshevists and reds
in this country belong to that class. They want
to get 100 per cent out of life but refuse to give
even 1 per cent to attain their dreams Of ease
without work and realization without effort. Out
of this spirit grows their envy and jealousy OF
those who have attained competence by hare
work and the development of winning qualities
This presently ripens into the insane theory that
force is permissible in acquiring property, ane
so they set out to destroy factories, loot homes
rob banks annihilate capital and in the end theil
efforts are measured by the paralysis of the in
dustrial and business spheres and by the thous
ands who have died Of starvation and privatioI
or have been massacred by their bloodthirsty
leaders.
It is strikingy true that the ranks Of bolshev
ism are made up of men who would be failures il
any walk of life Successful men in the humbles
and highest ranks of society do not deceive them
selves into believing that any virtue or reward
can come without effort on the part Of the NAL
/ seeking it. The farmer knows that he cannot ex
pect to reap where he has not sown, and the sen
sible man is convinced that he will be compen
stated only in return for what he does. And tn
extent of the compensation usually is measure
by the ability and exertion of the worker.
The rise of men from comparatively humbl
occupations in civil life to relatively importan
positions in the British army proves that meri
has it's reward -
