VISIT
DAUGHERFY'S
BANK
Former Attorney Generals
Brother Must Show Books
or Face Contempt.
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
InteFnati0E'. News Service,


WASHIN ON COURT
HOUSE, Ohio, .pril 11.-With
its torchlight of investigation
turned away temporarily from the
Nations Capital, the Wheeler
Brookhart committee today fol-
lowed a trail Of alleged corup-
ton to this Ohio town on a "tip"
that evidence of a sensational
character is locked within the
vaults Of the Midland National
Bank.
Represented by Senator Burton
K. Wheeler (Dem.) Of Montana,
acting prosecutor, and Senator
Brookhart (Rep.) Of Iowa, chair
man, the committee arrived here
this morning from Washington,
D. c., to conduct personal ex-
animation Of the banks records.
Act on Secret Reports.
The investigation was prompted
by secret reports that thousands
of dollars were deposited in the
bank by men high in public life
under circumstances which could
not easily be explained.
The visit here marked the second
attempt by the committee to OBJ
tain possession Of the bank records.
Previously NJ. S. Daugherty, pres
ident of the bank and a brother of
the former Attorney General, re-
fused to permit special account
ant. employed by the committee,
to review the books.
There were indications today that
Daugherty would refuse the com
mittee's request although 1t is
made in person by Bro0khart and
Wheeler.
The committee also decided to
interview a number of Washington
Courthouse citizens on the numer-
Gus visits made there by the late
Jesse w. Smith, former chum of
the Attorney General, and by
Harry M. Daugherty himself.
Light on Log Cabin"
Wheeler also sought further in
formation on the mysterious visits
paid by Daugherty~ and Smith to
the log cabin" located near Wash
ington Courthouse, where witnesses
have charged certain deals were
arranged.
In event the committees request
for an inspection of the banks
records is refused, the committee
has indicated it will recommend to
the Senate that Mel Daugherty be
cited for contempt.
If this is done, the case undoubt-
eddy will be prosecuted into the ma
TONS highest court.

MONKEY TWINS

RECORD
like and Mike" Rhesus Are
First Born in Captivity
Here-AII Doing Well.

Monkey business with stork, :"
has excited the Zoo.
Simian rules for parliamentary
procedure have gone all awry. For
the first time in thirty-three years
progressive has invaded the ranks
Of local monkeys, and much history
has been written upon it. The chat
tering denizens Of the Geological
Park are fairly talking themselves
skinny.
And the reason is two-fold.
Twin monkeys have been born to
Mrs. Rhesus Monkey. Mother and
father are doing nicely, and the
twins, hereby cognomened like and
Mike" Rhesus are doing very well.
Fact is, their lusty appetites an
initiated their chances today of
getting their pictures in the paper.
So busy were they that they could
not pause.
Mother monkey is being kept in a
special cage. Her offspring weigh
all Of three ounces, and after meals
they weigh fully that much more,
it would seem.
Efforts to get the trio 20 pose was
unsuccessful. The proud mother
cuddled her infants so closely that
only their heads showed.
Keeper w. H. Blackburn said that
the birth Of the twins was the first
event Of its kind in the zoos his

confession. Mrs. Tell met Blair.
Both were married. Neither had a
divorce. Having this in common
they became fast friends and Blair
invited Mrs. Tell to work on his
farm as housekeeper.
For the sake Of her ailing daugh.
ter, Lillian, Mrs. Tell accepted. She
thought life on a farm would build
the girl up.
Therefore, when Blair made no
attempt to pay her any wages for
her work she said nothing, thinking
he might be in financial straits,
and would pay what he owed when
times got better. She subsequently
learned he was wealthy, but still he
made no effort to pay her, In spite
of the fact that she shaved on the
farm from 4 in the morning until
8 at night.
This, and other little habits she
began to notice in him, killed her
liking for the man, and she changed
her mind about marrying him.
Bitter Quarrels resulted.
The red hair and blue eyes OF
his hard working housekeeper had
gone to his brain. In all events,
Blair told his relatives he INTENDED
to marry her. He even decided the
farm to her, but she tore the deed
up. When three years had passed
and she still scorned his advances,
Blair grew violent. He began
threatening to kill her.
Following her refusal to marry
him three weeks ago, Mrs. Tell said,
Blair went to the Bronx, where he
remained about. two weeks, return
ing unexpected to Killingsworth.
where the farm is located. By this
time she realized that the man was
dangerous. On Tuesday morning
Blair prepared to leave, but soon
returned on account Of a storm and
said he had changed his mind and
would not go back to New YORK.
The argument was resumed. Blair
demanded his revolver. AS soon as
he went out she crept to the kitchen
and got the gun from beneath q
setting hen and hid it in her
sweater.
Just as she reached her room
Blair entered with an axe.
"This is the last day for you"
he said. "As soon as the girl goes
to school I'll fix you" There was
crazy CLEAN IN MS eyes.
The girl, Lillian, went to
school, and Blair returned to Mrs,
Tells room. In a furious voice de.
manded the revolver. When she
said she didn't know where 1t was
he picked up the axe. Mrs. Tell
pulled out the revolver and fired
one shot. Blair fell to the floor.
Fearing he would get up again, she
picked up the axe and hacked him.
She placed a sheet over the body
and dragged 1t the cellar.
That night she remained in the
house, but did not sleep. She rolled
and tossed in bed and planned what
to do with the body.
The next morning she dragged
The corpse to a nearby sandpit.
She had difficulty in getting the
body into the excavation, but finally
managed it after she had Sremoved
the shoes. Then she covered the
body and returned to the farm.
house, where she told her daughter
Of the murder and called in several
neighbors. They advised her to con.
fess to the police.
