military AND CIVIL
OFFICERS ASSA|LED
=. BY HERR|N PROBERS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 30
By the Associated Press.)-Adjutant
General Carlos E. Black Of the Illi-
nois national guard. is declared
"derelict in duty and primarily to
blame" for not sending troops to
Williamson county at the time of
the Herrin riots, in the report OF the
legislative inv -tigating committee,
made to the legislature this after
noon.
Condemnation is melted out to
nearly every one who "had any hand
in affairs" Besides laying CHER
blame on the adjutant- general, the
committee declares that Colonel Sam
Hunter, staff officer at Herrin, was
absolutely Incompetent, unreliable
and unworthy to perform the duties
assigned to him"
Former Sheriff Melvin Thaxton, OF
! Williamson county. and his depu-
ties, Shaffer and II. l.. Strom, are
declared irresponsible, incompetent
to hold any office of trust, in the
state, in Williamson or any other
county"
States Attorney Delos Duty, OF
Williamson county, is one of the few
| persons connected with the riots
who is not censured. His attempts
to bring the guilty to justice are
commended by the committee.
Members of the senate are bitterly
condemned for failure Of the senate
! to pass the measure continuing the
Herrin committee in existence until
missing witnesses could be appre-
hended.
The committee report said in ref
erence to General Black:
He was derelict in his duty in
not taking personal charge of the
| situation, and in not ordering out
the troops. The conditions reported
| to General Black were Of such a,
serious nature as to warrant anys

WIFE Of OFFICER.
ACCUSED IN KILLING.
IS NEAR COLLAPSE

ANNISTON, Ala, June 30.-Civil
and military authorities today had
not ascertained the reason for the
alleged Staying last night of Lieu
tenant James c. Rickner by his wife
at Camp Mcclellan, and Mrs. Rick
ner's lips are sealed.
The officers wife, held in Calhoun
county Jail in connection with the
case, steadfastly refuses to talk
concerning the killing.
Lieutenant Rickner was shot and
instantly killed shortly after he
went to camp quarters occupied by
himself and wife.
The officers home is Mantos, Col,
HIS body is held here pending
word from relatives.
He served several months with the
Eighth infantry overseas in the
World war and had been in the
army several years before that
service.
A board of officers at Camp Nc
Clellan is making an official in
quiry into the killing, but no infor-
nation will be given out as to the
finding until preliminary civil
trial is held.
It was also stated at headquar-
tiers that Mrs. Rickner alone Knows
the facts" and by advice of her
counsel had refused to talk even to
army officers.
Mrs. Rickner was said by county
authorities to be near collapse to-
day. She declined to give either her
maiden name or former address. At
Camp Mcclellan it was understood
that her former home was Indian
apolis. A four-year-old daughter is
being cared for by officers at the
| camp.
Lieutenant Rickner returned from
Germany with the last contingent of
| the army of occupation.
