Believe Negro
Victim of Mob Was
Innocent of Assault

Cleveland. Oct. 9-Belief that the
mob which beat to death William
Bell. negro. early today, killed an
innocent man. was expressed by po-
lice tonight who are working on the
case.
The dead man was suspected Of
having attempted to attack one of
the two white girls. but neither girl
could identify Bell as the assailant.
Bell was beaten with a baseball
bat and kicked and trampled when
the screams of Betty Greenblatt and
Bertha Deutsch brought a crowd of
Youths from nearby wine shop. The
killing occurred in front of the
Deutsche Girls Home. where the
negro was alleged to have accosted
the girls.
Two other negroes. Thomas Clark.
and Albert Harper, said that Bell had
been talking with them and was
taking his leave when the mob ap-
peared. They ran. their story con-
tinued. but Bell hesitated and was
overtaken.

admitted that mittimuses had been
issued in each case and that the two
boys were in the county jail.
1t is thought that the amount of
money involved in the case. $l05.06
and several articles of jewelry, may
have been sufficient to make this
case one in which the jurisdiction Of
municipal court does not extend to
the matter of sentence but only to
the finding Of probable cause, and
that perhaps this vas overlooked
when sentence was imposed. In this
case it is probable that they will be
heldl for the January term Of the
Superior Court.
The latest revision o. the Char
ter and Ordinances Of the City OF
Augusta provides that the judge shall
have jurisdiction "of all cases Of
simple larceny arising in said coun-
ty. wherein the property. alleged to
have been stolen. shah not, exceed IN
value the sum of fifty dollars. and
shall have the power to try the same
and award such sentence upon con-
viction. as yb law provided for such
offense." This would apparently bear
out the above belief

Waterville. Oct. 9-No efforts were
spared by the Coburn gridmen yes

scrimmage. The sclimmage lasted
two hours and the men had plenty Of
chance to show their worth In the
fray.
In order to have an even game
Coach Haines split his first team up
slightly and the two teams were
about evenly matched. Thrilling
runs by the backs of both teams
were predominant. Dick Reed, erst
while end played halfback on Captain
Shanahan'S team and his smashing
drives off tackle and around ends
were good enough for any team
'E'roggie' Dionne came into his own

Tommy Khoury was in his glory
also plugging the line with plenty
of stuff and playing whirlwind
game both on offense and defense.
The scrimmage had it's two sides.
however. as on one hand it proved
that the Crimson and Gold has n
powerful machine, on the other hand
several men received injuries. George
Grady the quarterback was clipped
and he has a badly injured leg as n
result. Some of the others received
minor injuries that will not hinder
them from playing Saturday how
ever.
After the scrimmaGe yesterday
Coach Haines picked the following
team to run through signals: ends.
Averka and Martoski: tackles.
Adams and Coffin: guards, MERCER
and Burnham; center. Leary; quar-
terback, Shanahan: halfback Khou-
ry and Reed: fullback. Weston.

Especial to Kennebec JournaD

L. of NJ, Oct. 9.-"Cuddy" Muir

University OF Maine has sprung a
new idea on his basketball men this
fall. Murphy studied the cTco,s of
cross country on Ollie Berg last years
captain of the basketball. and de-
cided that cross country training was
a great asset in the conditioning of
his men. Thus. Kind Hearted
'Cuddy." as he is sometimes called,
issued an order to the effect that all
candidates for the 1926 basketball
team must report to Coach Frank
kanaly for cross country.
This policy that has been recentlt
adopted is something new at the
University, and IT is hoped that IT
Will do away with all pre-sea son

done in the past.
Out of ten letter men from last
years team. only three are left %
take up their duties on the polished

his hands to find men that will be

Berg, "Crabby" Newell, and Louie"
Horsman who have Passed out of
collegiate ranks.
