CORONER'S VERDICT IN THE
MARY HOPE FALCONER DEATH

Wednesday evening Coroner Fis-
Gus returned his verdict in the in
quest he held concerning the death
of Mary Hope Falconer, aged 8, who
died soon after being struck by an
automobile on the Barnesville pike
near her home Sept. 6 The finding
states the said deceased came to her
death by being struck by a Stude-
baker automobile in the custody of
one Harry Taylor, and occupied at
the time by the said Harry Taylor
and Harry Benjamin and being
driven by the said Harry Benjamin
while the said Mary Hope Falconer
was returning from McConnelsyille
to her home and walking along the
public highway on what is known as
the Barnesville pike, and on the
BERN of said pike. Said automobile
being driven by the said Harry Ben
jamin at very high rate of speed
and in a reckless and dangerous
manner, contrary to the laws OF
Ohio, did strike her, the said Mary
Hope Falconer. knocking her down
and causing injuries which resulted
in her death. And it is deemed by
me, the said coroner, that the said
Harry benjamin ana Harry Iaylor
are equally and unlawfully response
BILE for the death of her, the said
Mary Hope Falconer.
In making his report the coroner
recommends that owing to the vast
yearly increase in the number of
motor vehicles, and the much con-
gested traffic conditions of our pub
lie streets and roads, all officers of
the law within our said county
whose duty it is to enforce our traf-
fic laws, rules and regulations, use
every means to suppress careless
and reckless driving of motor We
hicles, thereby sparing life and limb.

EVERETT JONES CAUGHT In
GEORGIA. RETURNED HERE

Wednesday of last week, Sheriff
Newton received telegram from
police officers of Decatur, Ca, stat
ing that Everett Jones was being
held there. Word was sent back to
keep him until Sheriff Newton could
arrive. The sheriff left here Friday,
and returned Monday with Jones.
Jones had been suspicioned as be-
ing the party who had broken into
several stores here recently. The
morning after the burglary here, he
was overtaken by j. Nj. Anderson
who was going up to his farm, and
who asked him to ride. James ac-
cepted the invitation, telling Mr..
Anderson that he was on his way to
college.
According to Jones voluntary
statement to our sheriff, he bummed
his way ON freight trains to Cincin-
natl and from there on to Decatur,
Ca, which is not far from Atlanta.
When he landed at Decatur he went
to a policeman, and after saluting
him told the officer that he was
fugitive from justice; that he had
violated his parole from penal in
stitution. At first the officer thought
nothing of it, but later there was
something about him that aroused
his suspicion, and he took him into
custody and sent the telegram here
as above stated. Jones freely con-
fessed to having entered the stores
here. The tie he had on, and the
cap he wore had the Lowell store
name on them. A suit case, suit of
clothes and other articles he had
taken from the stores, he stated he
sold in Cincinnati.
He said to the sheriff that he was
guilty, and asked why he couldn't be
sent right back to the reformatory.
He was placed in Jail here. awaiting
the action of the coming grand jury.

BANDIT
TO TESTIFY AT
OILY HEARING
Jennings May Tell of
The Presidency Bride

WASHINGTON, March 20th.-Al
Jennings, once regular bandit, now
reformed but evidently still moving
in shady circles, will be called to the
witness stand by the senate commit
tee investigating the leasing of the
Teapot Dome and other oil proper
ties of the navy department, by the
present republican administration
This is the first time that a real
highwayman got mixed up in the oil
scandal; to date those involved hav-
ing control of the legal machinery
wnlle hIghwaymen and hold-up-men
like Jennings who operated as OUT
laws were at decided disadvantage.
Jennings was supposed to have re-
formed but it now appears that he
attended the Republican National
convention in Chicago in 1920 and
associated with such characters as
Jake Hamon, Harry Daugherty and
other modern criminals. Jennings is
supposed to know about the offer
made to give anybody the presidency
who would guarante to give a friend
of the Hamon gang the secretaryship
of the Interior. Harding was their
man. Unless the big crooks threat
en- Jennings with his past, he is ex-
pected to create something of a sem
sation.
Senator Thomas Walsh declared to-
day that his committee was approach

stead of following the culprit to his

paid off part of a 100000 deficit Of
the Republican party, resulting from

Republican natiofal committee, and
now "czar" of the movies, will face
the committee Saturday to tell
whether he got $4,000 shares Of oil
stock, or any liberty bonds, from
Harry Sinclair, to help wipe out the
1920 party deficit. Hays was sub
poenaed after the story was told to
the committee in private.

INJURE 3 WOMEN
And 4 FIREMEN
Wet Snow Saves Lives,
Fire Laws Ignored

Three disastrous fires ragged in
Chicago yesterday, injuring four
firemen- and three women.

lost in the confagration that de-
stroyed the huge Glaman Furniture
warehouse at 1902 Newberry avenue
and 1926 Maxwell street in. the
heart of the Jewish tenement house
district had the wind been different
and wet snow not been falling.
Fire Laws Ignored.
The tenement houses, fire-traps
where the city fire regulations are
violated many times over, are clus-
tered about the four-story warehouse
that was blazing away. Flying
sparks settled on buildings as far
as three blocks away and Jewish
people who wore celebrating the
Purim feast rushed out into the
streets while firemen, aided by the
wet snow finally puc out the start
ing flames.
Another furious fire roared thru
the State Bank building at Madison
street and Ashland avenue. Capt
John Coffin If Engine Company No.

the roof Of the building collapsed.
His skull may be fractured. Three
other firemen we're carried from TIE

years old: Mrs. May Lambert and
her daughter Dorothy were over

out in the Wocdlawn district at 63rd
