The Twin Cabins

Lifted by the writer from his own
"Cradle of the Queen" story of the
wraiths who walk the Cincinnati
waterfront, the tale of the Twin
Cabins should be an interesting one
to Ohioans everywhere. The cabins
were the first built in Ohio other than
the log mission put up by Frederick
Post in 1861 near Bolivar, Stark
County.
Rowing so silently that their pad
dies barely whispered in the water a

expedition eased their canoes from
the Kentucky side of the Ohio River

city with 81 stripes on his bare back
and a sign reading AN Incorrigible
Offender on his hat. Dorsey had been
found guilty of stealing an innkeep-
er's watch. He also had to pay the
costs of court"
The two coves were not far apart.
Neither were the cabin of Dorsey and
the tavern of Yeatman. The account
did not relate who was the innkeeper
nor that Dorsey was the freedman
who had a cabin at the upper inlet.
That part of the account is conjec-
ture-after nearly 100 years have
gone past.
In 1906 a very old man who had
been watching some men dig drain
in front of Yeatman's Tavern tottered
to the end Of the porch and pointed
with his cane. "Dig right there and
see what you will fnd," he requested.
The workers expected to find nothing
but to humor an old mans whim dug
as he had asked them.
About three feet underground they
found skeleton and at last brought
out the skull. II thought this looked
like the place." the old man said.
Then the old fellow told his story. He
had been a member of Bouquets ex-
pedition and of detachment which
wandered to the Ohio River in 1764.
There, attacked by Indians, one man
was killed, shot through his eye. eve
buried the poor fellow where he fell,'
the old man ended. A workman pick
ed up the skull--a bullet still ratified
inside it.

WeIder Sentenced
To 70 Years in Attack
On Maryland Woman

William c. Dean, a, a welder
convicted Of attempting gun
point rape Of q 24-year-old
woman in q car she occupied
with her three children, yester-
day was sentenced to 20 years
in the Maryland Pentientiary.
Defense counsel noted an ap-
peal and Dean was released on
$4,000 bail.
The penalty was imposed by
Judge Charles c. Marbury in
Upper Marlboro Circuit Court
following Deans conviction last
Thursday by Prince Georges
County jury.
Dean, who was employed at a
Navy construction project at
Indian Head, had the case
shifted from Charles County
where the offense occurred on
January 2.
Before pronouncing sentence
Judge Marbury asked the de-
fendant whether he had any
thing to say. Dean replied:
II did not break the law in
any way. I'm not guilty, I didn' t
do it."
Judge Marbury referred tc
Deans record presented by
Charles County States Attorney
Robert T. Barbour and said, "The
court is confronted with a Grim
inal record of sporadic crime
from 1928 to 1854, starting with
motor vehicle violations, then
robbery and rape, both crimes oil
\ violence"
Dean. the record shows. was
convicted in Louisiana in 1914
for attempted rape and was
given 20 years. Two years later
the sentence was commuted be-
cause the pardon board said it
believed Dean was a victim of
mistaken identity. His principal
defense in the case for which
he was sentenced yesterday was
that the complaining witness
had mistaken him for another
man.

Sheppard Affidavit
Will Accuse Acting
Mayor Of Prejudice
BY the Assoeiaied Press

CLEVELAND. Aug. 7.-De-
tense attorneys planned another
legal maneuver today in their
fight to block a preliminary hear
ing Of a f1rst-degree murder
charge against DR.. Samuel Shep-
pard.
They said they would file an
affidavit of prejudice against the
man who ordered him Jailed
Gershom Barber, Bay Village
Council president.
It was Mr.. Barber, as acting
mayor, who issued the warrant
charging the young osteopath
dubbed his 31-year-old wife
Marilyn to death in their Bay
Village home July 4. DR.. Shep-
pard, blames the attack on "a
bushy-haired stranger"
Timothy F. Mcmahon, one of
DR.. Sheppard's lawyers. said
from what I've read in the
newspapers, the statements Mr..
Barber has made clearly indi-
cate his prejudice" He didn't
say what the statements were.
Delayed to Monday.
Originally Mr.. Barber set the
preliminary hearing for this aft
ernoon. Later it was continued
to next Monday. Unless both
sides agree, it cannot be post
poned any further. The purpose
of the hearing is to decide
whether there is enough evi-
dence to hold DR.. Sheppard for
the grand jury.
A three-judge Appellate Court
decided yesterday Mr.. Barber
has legal authority to conduct
the preliminary hearing, and
denied a writ of prohibition re-
quested by the defense.
That was the second time a
court had made substantially
the same ruling. Last Monday
Common Pleas Judge Frank j.
Merrick upheld Mr.. Barber's
right to charge DR.. Sheppard.
Continuing their investigation,
detectives last night took a
lengthy statement from a 20
year-old Cornell University med
ical student who described him
self as an admirer of DIR. Shep-
pard. They didn't tell reporters
what they had learned from
Gervase M. Flick. who had Wis
tied the doctor during the day.

But Mr.. Flick, son of an osteo-
path at Bay View Hospital, where
Or. Sheppard practices. said he
