SEEK MAN WHO PURCHASED
POISON IN STRANGE CASE

MARION, ILL.,, Sept. 29:-Author-
tiles of Williamson county today
were searching for a man thought
to have purchased the poison which
caused the death of Joseph L. Her
rington, coal miner, in a poison
plot in which Robert Tate and Her
rington's former wife, Ruby Her
rington Tate, have confessed partici-
pating SO that they might marry.
In confession late yesterdaJ In
the county jail here. in the presence
of Sheriff George Galligan and
others, Tate. with his bride of seven
days seated by his side, said he gave
Harrington the first dose of poison.
His confession came only after a
long grilling during which his wife,
who previously had confessed and
implicated Tate. pleaded with him
to tell the story.
Tate had been a former boarder
at the Harrington home since De-
cember, 1928.
Although Tate declared he stole
the poison from a Johnston City
drugstore, Sheriff Galligan. today
said he did not believe this state
ment and was investigating the sale
of poison to john L. Williams on
August S, in the belief that Williams
may have purchased the poison for
Tate.

WHITE LEADER
Of DEMOCRATS
Heads City Committee
Clark Dropped as Treas
urer-To Have Lone Fight

John White, who has been chair
man of the Democratic City Commit
tee for the past several years. was
again selected at the organization
meeting of the COMMITTEE held in
Democratic headquarters in Madison
avenue, Saturday night, to direct the
activities of the committee for an
other year. Other officers elected
were: Mrs. Caroline Sullivan, vice
chairman; James A. Rhodes, secre-
tary, and James A. Mullen, treasurer.
Mr.. Mullen succeeds Alderman
John J. Clark as treasurer. He was
elected by unanimous vote. 1t Is evil
dent from this action that Alderman
Clark is considered an outsider as
far as the city committee is con-
cerned and that although he re-
ceived the Democratic nomination in
the primaries for alderman in the
fifth ward, he may have a lone fight.
Those interested in the election of
Democrats will not say that Clark is
to be given no help. but in some
quarters the action of the city COM
mittee is believed to signify that
Clark will not receive the support
of the party as heretofore.
Clark won the primary election
from William Massopust by a total
of twenty-three votes. This majori-
ty was obtained by Clark even in
view OF the fact that Massopust re-
ceived the support of the Democratic
organization. There are some who
contend the Democrats will back up
Michael Trygar. the Republican cam
didate, in the general election, but
no Democratic organization man will
confirm this report.
Others contend that although the
contest between Clark and Masso-
pust wes a bitter one, that when
election day comes, the voters in the
fifth ward will be for Clark and that
he will be reelected by a large ma
jority. The latter contention would
seem to be the most likely for as in
times past, although the party has
seemed split prior to election day.
when the voting starts they get to-
gether and usually succeed in elect
ing their candidate. This is true as
far as city politics is concerned.
This Is the first year, since women
were given the ballot, that a woman
has been elected as an officer in the
Democratic city committee. The
election of Mrs. Sullivan as vice
chairman is taken to mean that the
organization will put forth every
effort possible to obtain a large
woman's organization in this city
and to plan for the getting out of a
big woman's vote on election day.
Another meeting of the committee
has been called for next Friday
night. Invitations will be issued to
all state, county and city candidates
to be present. at this meeting and
plan with the committee the city
campaign. The general public is also
Invited to attend this meeting.
A resolution was adopted at the
meeting on Saturday night. endors-
Ing all the Democratic candidates
nominated at the primaries.

Brown has stated his willingness to
bwcar to an affidavit that he was not
party to the preparation of the
harked ballots, or, in fact, knew

The Carnival

The Legion Wagon Co. carnival
opened up in fine shape Monday
night at the armory, with a big
crowd in attendance. 1t is beyond
the expectations of all. The amuse-
ment booths are all nicely decorated
with their various wares, and the
winning of prizes furnishes no little
excitement and enjoyment. Among
these booths we find the Red Dia-
mond Trade Stimulator, which is
one of the patent devices of J. H.
Ewing, Malta; then there is the Red
Diamond Nerve and Speed Tester,
another of Mr.. Ewing's creations.
other booths contain "Pitch till
you Win" game; "Huckley Buck
Win a Duck" and big Star" game.
One of the most exciting and entic-
ing outfits of the whole carnival is
the "Bingo" or Corn" game. There
is usually a waiting list for this at
traction. Of course there is doll
Wheel" and the refreshment
stand which is in charge of the
Ladies' Auxiliary, furnishes a fine
assortment of good home made eats.
Pat Murphey with his famous train
ed dogs gives a free show each ev-
ening. An eight piece orchestra
furnishes music, and there is dane
ing, and there are other amusement
features. But don't expect us to
tell all about it, simply go and see
for yourself. This carnival is not a
foreign, out of town affair, but is
put on by our local people. All the
money taken in remains here and
goes for the benefit of the Ameri-
can Legion and the Wagon Co., and
will be used for purposes that ben
eft the community in general.
1t will continue every evening
this week, beginning at $50. The
Lost evening, Saturday, a radio set
will be given away.
