SACK MURDER
LAID TO DOCTOR
Physician to Be Arraigned
in Staying Case Today.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-Dr.
Charles Mcmillan, accused sack
murderer of Mrs. Amelia Appleby,
wealthy widow of a Chicago in
ventor, faced arraignment on a
murder indictment today.
DR.. Mcmillan continued to deny
any connection with the crime, al
though the doctor last night ad-
mitted that he and Mrs. Appleby
engaged in a "scene" in Yellowstone
Park last summer.
The admission was regarded as
another link in the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence which impli-
Gated him in the Staying of the
wealthy widow, whose body, sewed
in a sack, was found on the high
way near San Fernando last week.
In confeSSing the Yellowstone &C
ton, which witnesses said was an
attempt to choke Mrs. Appleby, DR..
Mcmillan said he merely held his
hand over her mouth to keep her
from talking so much.
"She wasn't hurt" he said, "and
we fixed it UP and got away from
there the next day."

FOR GOVERNOR
Crown Point Attorney Will
Give Daily Contest on
Democratic Ticket.
NOT ORGANIZATION PICK
Won Friends as Member of
Highway Commission; Is
Lodge Leader.

The first threat against the candi-
dacy of Frank G. Daley, former
United States district attorney, for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor came today.
George E. HerShman, Crown
Point, vice chairman of the State
Highway Commission, announced he
is a candidate for the nomination.
For weeks Democratic leaders have
said they did not believe any one
would be so bold as to challenge the
strength Of Daley.
Some strong organization leaders
cast about for a long time for can
didate to oppose Daley, but finally
gave up. Daley never has been the
choice Of party leaders.
Not Organization Man
HerShman'S candidacy is not I'M
derStood to have been sponsored by
the organization. He is believed to
be basing his hope Of nomination
upon the friends he has made
through his opportunity of doing
favorS throughout the State as a
member of the highway commission.
Hershman, a lawyer, was born
June 90, 1885, on a farm in Walker
Township, Jasper County. He at
tended the public schools of Jasper
County and Valparaiso University,
being graduated from the latter in
stitution in June 1904.
In his announcement, Hershman
declared that he realized that IN
diana is in disgrace, that radical
changes are necessary in the adj
ministration of governmental affairs,
that the constitution must be per-
mitted to function, and the govern
ment restored to the people"
Prominent in Lodge
Hershman has been prominent in
the Odd Fellow lodge for years. He
is one of the grand trustees of the
Grand Lodge of Indiana and Grand
Representative to the Sovereign
Grand Lodge.
He is large landholder and is in
terested in two banks. He has been
district and county Democratic
chairman and was his party's norni-
nee for Congressman of the Tenth
