RICH VALLEY. Ind, June s.
For the thirtieth time, James B.
Farr of Wabash has followed his
annual custom of placing flowers
on the graves of the French. family
in the Jackson cemetery near here,
recalling one of the most noted
murder cases in the history Of Wa
bash county.
Aaron French, his wife and five
children, all slain, lie in the grave.
John Hubbard died on the galloWs
for his part in the Staying and his
wife received a life term in prison,
a son being born to her in the in
stitution. Henry Boils, a cattle buy
er, was also a victim of the Hub
bards' killing mania, his death fol-
lowing the French family tragedy.
Inscription Accuses
Over the grave of the family is
stone on which the inscription is
as follows:
Here lies Aaron French and his
wife and five children, who were
brutally murdered about October 9,
1855, by John Hubbard and his
wife"
Farr found the grave thirty years
ago, overgrown with weeds and with
the tombstone toppled over. At his
own expense he cleared the grave
and replaced the stone. Annually
since then he has placed flowers on
the grave.
The story of the tragedy, as re-
lated by Farr, follows;
French and his family, early set
tiers in the county, lived in log
cabin half mile east of here. Hub
bard and his wife came into the
community and we're taken into the
French home.
Aaron French was an invalid and
Stearns Fisher and James Lewis
took turns every other day calling
at the home to aid in caring for
him. One day when Fisher called,
Hubbard and his wife ran from the
house, telling Fisher that during the
night relatives had come from st.
Louis and the French family had
left with them.
Fisher thought it strange that
French in his weakened condition
would be taken on a long journey,
but took no action.
Slain for S1,5OO
Later BoilS was a guest of the
Hubbards and was never seen alive
again. In the following spring, his
body was found near here and Hub
bard was arrested as the slayer. His
wife visited him in the county Jail
at Wabash and eavesdropping on
their conversations revealed them
as slayers of the French family.
Bodies of the parents and children
we're found beneath the floor of the
home. The HubbardS said they had
beaten them to death with a maui.
Mrs. Hubbard confessed fully, not
only to Staying the family, but also
to numbering Boils, who was robbed
Of $500.
Hubbard was convicted and died
on the gallows at Wabash. The son
born to Mrs. Hubbard in prison re-
turned here after growing to man
hood and dug up the 81, 500 from the
base of a walnut tree where his
mother had hidden it. Since then,
he was never seen nor heard of in
this community.

CITY MANAGER LOST
Terre Haute and VinCenneS
Reject Plan.

With referendum to adopt the
city manager form of government
defeated Tuesday, Terre Haute and
Vincennes citizens today laid plans
for primary elections. In both
cities the vote was light, little inter
est being displayed.
Terre Haute rejected the manager
form by a vote of 1882 to 1888. 1t
was pointed out by those favoring
the manager form that a petition
containing 1000 names had been
fled in favor of the new govern

At Vincennes the city manager
form was defeated 1854 to 851, less
than one-third Of the electorate
going to the polls.

Mrs. Patty, beautiful wife of a
man whose sight is failing, was
murdered in an apartment which
police pictured as another love

Her head had peen crushed by
blows from a brick, her hands cut
and bruised, and her nose broken.
Body Hanging in Closet
The body was found by landlady

wrapped about her neck and her
dress pulled up over her head and
tied,
The landlady's description Of the

week ago was said to fit Tallman.
Police reconstruction of the crime
held that the slayer probably
waited for Mrs. Patty to enter the
apartment and then beat her with
the brick, which was found broken
in two parts.
The woman probably had been
dead several hours when her body
was found, physicians said.

morning. His wife had failed to
arrive in the northern city for a
visit and was missing here.
Lived in Luxury
His business took him in the
northwest frequently, but the wife'S
health kept her in southern Cali
fornia, where she had every luxury
his wealth could provide. She had
her own limousine and chauffeur
and an apartment in an exclusive
district.
Patty told police that he and his
wife had met Tallman on the Ad-
miraI Benson two years ago, at a
time when Tallman was ships radio
operator.
From other sources police learned
how Tallman and Mrs. Patty had
been seen together often, both in
Los Angeles and San Francisco.

United Press STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 5.-An eX-
citable, almost penniless little man
has retained G. BaScom Slemp and
Everett Sanders to prosecute claims
OF from S5,00O,000 to 100000
against the Cuban government be-
fore the state department.
j. e. Barlow, 66 years old, BENT
and of an extremely combative dis
position, is their employer.
The two secretaries of former
President Coolidge have entered the
case at what appears likely to be the
beginning of its most lucrative mo-
ment
Barlow charges Cuban officials
stole his property and are holding
it in defiance Of Cuban court de-
cisions. These officials, he says,
can not be sued civilly nor prose-
cuted criminalIy.
Hotel CANDLES With Him
L have been reduced from afflu-
ence to beggary," Barlow says in ex-
planning his plight. For many
months he has lived at one of
Washington's finest hotels with the
understanding that his bill will be
paid when he again possesses his
land holdings.
I am not asking my government
to declare that this property belongs
to me-Cuban courts have done
that. All 1 am asking is to have
the court orders in my favor exc
cuted.'
Restraint does not come easily to
Barlow. He once offered to strike
Secretary Of State Kellogg on the
nose. And the offer was so earn
estly set forth the secretary was i'm
pressed by the ray-haired little
mans sincerity. Secret service men
for some time watched Barlow,
prepared to arrest his fist if di-
rected toward the secretary of
states nose.
Barlow and the somewhat older
Kellogg aggravated each other tre-
mendously. Each meeting between
them increased their mutual an

immovable. So long as Kellogg re-
manned at the state department, no
action was taken in BarIoW's behalf.
BOrah Takes Action
But Barlow's case came before the
senate foreign relations committee,
which was impressed with the be-
lief that an injustice was being done
Barlow. Soon after President Hoo
Ver's Inauguration and the depar-
ture Of Kellogg, Chairman Borah
of the senate committee called on
Secretary Of State Stimson to urge
action in behalf of Barlow.
Instructions were sent to Ambas-
sador Judah in May. The ambas-
sador discussed the problem yester-
day with Stimson, Undersecretary
Clark and Assistant Secretary
White.
Pressure is expected soon to be
exerted upon Cuba to repossess
Barlow Of his property, pending fur
ther legal action which finally would
determine its ownership.

future.
Five years ago, Jimmy was in
similar trouble because he set fire
to the clothing of 1-monthS-old
Robert Endres, ito see bonfire he
said at the time.
Twirling an old gray cap and
scuffing his shoes on the courtroom
floor, Jimmy told his story of the

ner's jury.
He carried under his arm a roll
of week-old comic papers, given to
him by his mother, and reverted to
them from time to time as interest
in the proceedings waned.

It took considerable cOaXlng by
the coroner and jurors to get the
story Of the alley killing last week.
Bit by bit, Jimmy related it-how
he and Conwill scufded for posses
sion of a .45-caliber pistol which
Jimmy had stolen from neighbor's S
home and how the pistol was dis
charged, the bullet ending the life
OF young COnwil.
Jimmy demonstrated with the
heavy weapon how ConWiu seized
the pistol.

OHARNI, a woman's greatest
~ asset! Charm is close kin
to daintinesS, and both are
characteristics admired by
both men and women the
world over. A woman can do
so much to enhance her natur-
al charm by paying attention
to details in her wardrobe and
person that the less clever
woman overlooks. A really
dainty woman, for instance,
will carefully select a perfume
that blends with her type and
personality and use this per-
fume consistently in all her
cosmetics. This will give her a
subtle, almost intangible per-
maneat odor which one comes
to associate with her alone.
