BIZ Times Special

BR Times Special
KOKOMO, Ind, Feb. Offspring
is to bring demolition of this city's
oldest factory building which IS
likewise its largest frame structure.
The building is the old Moore
wooden mill. It has become a fire
hazard and the present owner, A. w.
Moore, announces work of tearing
it down will begin soon, as it has
been unoccupied for a. long period
and is not suitable for any purpose.
Since the mill was erected in 1864,
Kokomo has grown from village of
1000 to a modern industrial city of
10000. At the time of building, the
structure, which measures 90x50
feet, and is a full three stories high,
was considered of large dimensions.
Machinery of the old plant was
taken out several years ago and sold
to a company operating a wooden
industry at owens Sound, Georgian
Bay, Canada. Two years ago Mr..
Moore visited the mill and was as
sured by the company that the ma
chinery once used here was still
producing satisfactorily.
Prosperity was enjoyed by the
mill for the greater portion Of the
time it was operated from 1865. to
1879. Competition from New Eng
lands weavers brought about its
downfall.

D. G. Stephenson's former wife be-

for the murder of Miss NIadge Ober-

obtaining freedom, according to
Felix Blankenbaker, local lawyer,
who is counsel for the former grand
dragon of the Indiana Ku KluX

Blankenbaker, counsel for Steph-

quotes his clients former wife, now

Okla, from ? letter the lawyer has
just received.
Expresses Sympathy
According to the lawyer, Mrs.
Brehm wrote in parts as follows:
81 am thoroughly in sympathy
with Steve and wish to do all IN
my power to aid him. Steve has
wronged me most heartlessly, and I
would not say this were it not for
our beautiful and most adorable
little daughter, katherine. 1t is
the general opinion of all here that
Steve was 'railroaded,' Truly the
greatest crime of his life was COM
mitted in Oklahoma and I forgave
him long, long ago."
Wants Word for Daughter
With the letter, Mrs. Brehm sent
some pictures of 14-year-old Kath-
crime, and asked that Blankenbaker
get from Stephenson some message
of regard for the girl. Her mother
intimates that the father has not
seen the child in several years, but
is very much attached to her.
Blankenbaker asserts that he has
some new facts of a startling ma
ture in regard to the Oberholtzer
case which he will use in seeking a
new trial. He refuses to give even
the slightest hint as to what the
facts include.
