OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS. Compulsory Kdncatlon Lair Likely to Cause Mach Overcrowding. Tho public schools will open their doors to-morrow morning. To-day was the day originally set but it finally occurred to the school authoorlties that this was Labor day and a legal holiday, and the opening was therefore postponed until to-morrow. The i\atural increase of population in the city brings each year a large increase in the number of pupils, and to accommodate these there have been erected during the summer two new buildings—one at North Indianapolis and one on Park avenue. However, tho natural increase will be much more than doubled this year by the fact that the compulsory education law goes into effect. This iaw requires that all children be tween the ages of eight and fourteen shall attend some school at least twelve weeks in the year? if they are physically able. Superintendent Goss declares that no one can make an adequate prophecy of how many more children this law will bring in, but that it will be l,2t)u at the very lowest. He says that those brought in by the tru ant otticer will be an extremely small per centage of them. The very fact that the law is on the statute books will be sutlieient to bring most of them to the schools. The law is made much easier of enforcement by the fact that the last Legislature jiassed what is variously known as the "child labor” and "factory inspection” law, which forbids the employment of children under fourteen years. Factories and large mer cantile establishments are this year declin ing to give employment to children, and these children will naturally come into the schools. The superintendent does not be lieve that the two new buildings mentioned vill come anywhere near accommodating the increase of pupils, in order to help out, four empty storerooms have been rented for emergency schools in various parts of the city, and at that it is believed that in at least two of the more crowded districts they' will have to have half-day sessions, permitting part of the children to attend In Uu> morning and the rest in the after DIED ON THE TABLE. Heart Failure Carries Oft u Hospital Patient \\ bile Fiber Is living Liven. David Akins, of old 3a Church street, where he had lived over twenty-live years In one house, died Sunday afternoon at the City Hospital. He was suffering from obstruction of the bowels, due to an in carcerated hernia, and was vomiting the contents of tho bowels. He was placed upon the operating table at the hospital, wfth a view to relieving his condition, if possible, by surgical procedure as a las* resort. Dr. W. V. Morgan was present to do the oper ating, witli the assistance of Dr. George Nash, who was his physician. Ether was administered by Dr. Norman E. Jobes, the house physician and anesthetlser. Before anestheslon was complete Akins attempted to clear his throat of mucus, when his heart gave way and death resulted before he be came unconscious from the ether. An ex amination was made by order of the coroner last night. The heart was found enormously enlarged and the mitral valves thickened and Imperfect. The bowels wete black and gangrenous, and it is regarded as very doubtful if the proposed operation would have saved his life. Mr. Akins was well known on the South Bide, where he had lived a quarter of a century and was greatly respected by the colored people and his white neighbors as well. He took an active part in Republican polities. Mr. C. M, Willis, who knew Mr. Akins wadi, says he was over sixty years of age. Office Desks of ail styles.—Wm. L. Eider. GOOD DETECTIVE STORY SUPERINTENDENT COLBERT TEI.LS OF THE TRACING OF BURTON. Slight Clew* Thnt Led to the Arrewt of Harvey mid Philllpa—Solv ing n Morder Mystery. Job Eldridge, a second-hand dealer at 175 Massachusetts avenue, called at the county jail yesterday afternoon to see James Bur ton, alias Hennessey, alias Emmett, who is charged with murder. Job Eldridge will be an important witness in the Burton trial. It was Eldridge’s store that three men en tered for the purpose of burglary on the night of Jao. 22, when Fireman Frank Red mond lost his life in pursuit of one of these thieves. Eldridge went to the jail to see if he could identify Burton, who, by his own confession, was one of the three highway ment who visited Eldridge’s store and who fired the shot that killed Redmond. Burton v.as brought out and marched up and down the corridor in front of the second hand dealer. Eldridge thought he recog nized Burton’s walk—a peculiar slouching gait—but he could not recall the prisoner's face. The public is pretty generally familiar with the crime for which Burton, Harvey and Phillips are being held. While the two latter are not directly charged with the murder they are under Indictment as acces saries to the crime and for attempted high way robbery. On the night of Jan. 22 last, about 6 o’clock in the evening, three men entered the store of Job Eldridge, on Mas sachusetts avenue, and tried to hold up the proprietor. The latter made a great outcry and got into a struggle with one of the men. The other two ran as a crowd began to gather. They got nothing in the store, as the proprietor had shown a disposition to thwart them. Neither of the three was caught. The fellow that grappled with the proprietor succeeded in getting away and ran diagonally across Massachusetts ave nue in the direction of the firehouse. The firemen heard the cries of “Thieves!” from the frantic second-hand dealer and started after the fleeing highwayman. Frank Red mond overtook the man at the mouth of an alley a few yards west of the engine house, and was there shot down. Redmond died almost instantly. According to his own confession, James Burton, the man who was brought here from the Nashville prison Saturday night, was the slayer of Redmond. Burton Impli cates Carl Harvey and Ed Phillips, and says they were with him in Job Eldridge’s store. Burton, has told how he met Harvey and Phillips at the Park Theater an hour after the murder by appointment, and how they drove to Greenwood that night and there separated, Burton going to Louisville, and from there to Nashville, where he tried to commmit a daylight robbery and got into the state penitentiary. Thus far his only confession has been made to the chief of police. He has never made a statement to a newspaper directly. Carl Harvey is a prisoner at the jail, but Ed Phillips, whose father has considerable property, is out on bond. Harvey is about twenty-two years of age. Most of his life has been spent in Indianapolis. Since his incarceration at the Jail ills conduct has been exemplary and he is now known as a “trusty” about the kitchen. Yesterday afternoon at the jail he sat down in the office with the turnkey and several visitors. He has not the face of a criminal. He has a frank, open coun tenance, clear blue eyes and is scrupulously neat and tidy In appearance. His shoes were carefully polished yesterday and his trousers as carefully creased. His shirt front was immaculate, and from its surface sparkled a large brilliant. Harvey has not even the appearance of a “sport.” How ever, the police do not share his opinion of himself. They say his record is not of the best, and the whole department is agreed that he is “sharp as a steel trap.” THE DETECTIVE WORK. “Did you ever hear of the story of how we run these fellows down?” asked Super intendent Colbvrt. ‘‘lt is a real detective story, but not one of the kind where dark lanterns figure. Its not an ‘old slueth’ story, but a plain, bare statement of facts. To start with it was largely a bluff game. And there was a lot of bluffing on both sides. There are somfe things about this case that cannot be told, because there are too many people involved—som*e things there are that never will be told. When this murder was committed there w r as lit tle to work upon in the way of informa tion. We knew that the man who killed R'edmond had thrown away a revolver, for we found the weapon and have it here now. We also knew that man had gone into a barber shop on Massachusetts ave nue a short time after the killing and had hurriedly had his mustache cut off. Ho did not ask to be shaved. This in itself was suspicious, of course. We got the mus tache and have it yet, but we didn’t have the man that had worn it, and hadn't a ghost of an idea who the man was. The case went on for a week and the depart ment was working night and day, l’eaving nothing undone that could be done. But it was availing nothing. “Finally I sent Detectives McGuff and Wilson into the district where the at tempted robbery and murder occurred, with instructions to camp out there. They wVre instructed to keep a close watch on everybody that was not above suspicion and telephone headquarters the moment they laid eyes on a man who had ever been ‘crooked.’ They finally found a man. Next door to this Eldrldge second-hand store was a feed store owned by a Mr. Phillips, a very estimable man. He had a son, Ed Phillips, a young fellow in his twenties. In the employ of Phillips was this young fellow. Carl Harvey. We knew We had been In prison and the detectives located him in the Phillips feed store. Harvey was brought to the station house and 1 went in for a three days’ sitting with him. The young man was ’game.’ ‘You'll be very sorry you ever brought me here,’ was his first remark to me after I had him under lock and key. Well, it w r as a bluff game all around. I realized that we had done a bold thing in taking charge of Harvey in this manner, but I felt in my heart" there was something wrong with him He did not satisfy me in his replies. I think I kept Harvey in the office under lock and key almost constantly for two or three days, but could get nothing out of him. When he failed to give me a. satis factory answer when I asked where he was the night of the Redmond mur der, I felt more than ever that he ought to be held. “While I had Harvey cooped up we got some information from Greenwood that set us to thinking. We heard that on the night Redmond was killed three men drove into a livery stable at Greenwood and put up a rig there. They were all strangers and the livery man who furnished us this informa tion "seemed to attach some importance to the matter. When this information came I decided on anotlur move. I had been tyiable to get anything out of Harvey, but natur ally wondered if it could be that he was one of the three men who were seen in Greenwood that night. I called for volun teers one cold, bitter night, three days after Harvey was taken into custody. I called the detective force in and asked who would undertake a trip to Greenwood across the country that night. The boys knew it would be an awful trip, but they didn't weaken. We decided that McGuff and Tom Stout should go. They left the city after da-k in a hack with Carl Harvey. The plan w r as to see if the liveryman at Greenwood could identify Harvey. In the event that he did the detectives were to wire me, and then it was the plan to arrest Ed Phillips, the chum of Harvey and the son of Harvey s employer. At 1 o'clock a message came from Greenwood that Harvey had been identified by the livery-stable proprietor. PHILLIPS GATHERED IN. “Tho nt t step in the case was a bold one, but it was plain. I came down at 2 o’clock that night and a half hour later Detective Splann came down. He went to the Miller block and found Ed Phillips with a woman. Both were brought to the sta tion house and I had a talk with both. It was plain that the woman knew nothing. Phillips put up a bold front and claimed in nocence. Later in the morning the detec tives arrived with Harvey and I had an other talk with him. It went on this w-ay for another day, and finally, during one of our sessions,’ Harvey indulged this remark: “ 'What are you holding Phillip* for; he knows nothing.’ That instant 1 was posi tive I was right concerning both the men and ordered them looked up as suspects. The woman was released, for she had no knowledge of the case. In April the grand jury found indictments against both men. Now, right here is a chapter in the case that can't be made public now, but has di rect bearing on the murder of Frank Red mond. It is sufficient to say that I made THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 6, 1897. a hurried trip to the Columbus, 0.. peniten tiary and took Carl Harvey with me. I can say. in tins connection, that it was learned Harrey had once known a certain man in the Columbus prison and that this was the man we wanted to locate. I spent a day at the prison going over the books of the institution. When 1 left I had the com plete Bertillon measurements of one James Burton, who is nov; in jail. Burton had left the Ohio penitentiary some time before. I got a photograph of him. and at onee sent out circular letters to most of the jails and prisons in the larger cities of the South. I had learned that Burton s home was in Cincinnati, and naturally con jectured he would be in that neighborhood. For several weeks we heard of men in dif ferent places that answered to the descrip tion, but none of-them panned out. While I was yet suffering from the results of a very disastrous runaway accident I got a telegram from the chief of police of Nash ville. Tenn., asking me to come there in person, as he believed he had located Bur ton in the Nashville prison. “Just as soon as I got able to travel I put off to Nashville, accompanied by the livery man at Greenwood. Reaching Nashville, we found our man was in the penitentiary, serving a six years’ sentence. We went to the prison and were shown ’James Fennes sey.’ But he perfectly filled the Ber tillon measurements and I was reasonably sure he was Burton. The Greenwood man recognized him the instant he laid eyes on him. He declared there was no mistake that this was one of the trio that had driven into his stable the night of Jan. 22. The Greenwood liveryman had already identified Phillips, as well as Harvey, and now the chain of evidence was complete. I asked for a private talk with Burton, or Hennessey, and he broke .down and told me everything. He gave every detail of the tragedy, how he arrived in Indianapolis from Cincinnati that afternoon and ar ranged for the robbery with Harvey and Phillips, and how he killed Frank Red mond while the latter was pursuing him. He said the killing was an accident, that he did not mean to kill the fireman, and that he only fired to avoid capture. He de clared t 6 me that he did not know? he had killed Redmond until he met Harvey and Phillips at the Park Theater after it was all over. From Redmond’s story I learned that he was the man who had his mus tache shaved off in the Massaehusetts avenue barber shop that same night.” GETTING THE PARDON. Chief Colbert gav© the details of the two trips to Nashville after Burton and of the last successful one. He declares it does not matter whether Burton sticks to his con fession or not. “We’ve got the evidence against these men complete and can con vict them without this confession. In fact, I would rather Burton had not made it. The glory of this thing belongs to no one man, but to the department. Every man in it did what he could towards the cap ture of these men.” Young Harvey thinks the newspapers have not treated him fairly in this casp. He says he has been raised in Indianapolis and there are many people who know that he is not the bad man he has been portrayed. He admits having been in prison for one term, but denies that he was ever in serious trouble before he was sent to the Columbus penitentiary. Harvey declines to say whether or not he knows Burton and will not talk about the ease. Phillips, before he was released on bail, also refused to talk of it. Attorney Henry Spaan will represent Harvey. Burton still refuses to make a statement to the newspapers. The description of him sent out by the police early in the summer was as follows: “Now about thirty years of age, five feet seven inches and a half tall, light blue eyes, dark brown hair, sandy complexion, forehead high and square, eyes straight and apart, ears large and close, nose medium and turned up, chin large and round, medium built, cut scar top right hand, India ink marks—red and blue— spread eagle, arrows and girl’s head sur rounded by dots on inside left forearm. The police claim Burton was first sent to prison in Ohio when nineteen years of age. Tie was again convicted of burglary in Portsmouth, CL. being released from Colum bus, July 3, 1896. He was sent up the last time with a man named Franklin. THE SONS OF VETERANS ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT NOW CO3IPLETE. A Number of Dintingniclied Men Will Be Present—Good Railroad Rates—Programme. Charles A. Bookwalter, who is chairman of the executive committee having charge of the arrangements for the sixteenth na tional encampment of the Sons of Veter ans, has received mail from different parts of the country that show that this en capment will be the largest one the organ ization has ever held. Responses from the Invitations to the district organizations throughout the country show that a num ber of organizations are preparing to start, among them being many uniformed camps. A number of veterans and several Grand Army posts have signified a willingness to attend the encampment. Governor Mount has promulgated to the adjutant general an order for permitting armed bodies of Sons of Veterans from other States to enter this State, providing they carry no ammunition. The committee is making arrangements to entertain the visitors in great style and to show that In dianapolis ranks high for her hospitality and to advance her reputation as a con vention city. It is desired that the city should bo deco rated to receive the visitors and to attain this the decoration committee will make a personal canvass of all business houses and residents to decorate their premises if pos sible for the whole week and especially on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Partic ularly on Friday, as the parade will be held on that day. The reception committee has arranged for an informal reception to the visiting delegations at the Denison House on Wednesday evening. The recep tion will be tendered by the reception com mittee and the local camps of the Sons of Veterans, assisted by the various G. A. R. posts and the W. R. C. A number of State Governors intend visiting the city during the encampment and they, together with the prominent officers and past offi cers of the Sons of Veterans, G. A. R. and Women’s Relief Corps, will be formally re ceived in the corridors of the Statehouse on Thursday evening by Governor Mount and the state officers. This reception will be an elaborate affair and the formal dress will be the full uniform of the Sons of Vet erans. The Governor’s staff is expected to attend in full uniform, together with the officers of the Sons of Veterans, making the reception quite a military affair that is seldom seen in Indianapolis. Governor Mount and Custodian Vest, of the State house, have tendered the organization the use of the Hall of the House of Repre sentatives and the Senate chamber for the meetings during the week. The Ladies’ Aid Society will meet in the Senate chamber and the delegate body of the Sons of Yret ei ans will use the House of Representatives hail. Half-fare rates have been secured on all railroads, and the tickets will be good on all dates between Sept. Sand 11. The ho tels have reduced the rates for the con vention, and arrangements have been made for the accommodation of the visitors in private houses, should the hotels be inad e The* headquarters will be in the Denison House, and the executive committee will re main in charge to give any information or assistance wanted. The parade will be held Friday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, with Colonel Harold C. Me grew as chief marshal. Ben Harrison Camp, No. 356, will occupy a position in the parade, with full attendance, as will also Ruckle Camp, of this city. The parade will be purely a military and Sons of Veterans parade, and many uniformed camps are preparing to bring with them their own bands of music. Altogether between three thousand and four thousand visitors are ex pected in the city. Colonel R. S. Thompson is in the city, to gether with most of the members of his staff, rendering all the assistance possible to the local executive committee in their efforts to arrange the reception of the com mandery in chief. Senator J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, and General Lew Wallace have been invited to attend the camp tire in Tom linson Hall Friday night, and It is be lieved they will attend. Neither has given a definite answer to the invitation as yet. Commander Dodge, of the Indiana Divb'on of the G. A R., Governor Mount Past Commander-in-ehtef I. N. Walker, of the G. A. R., and Past Commander A. O. Marsh, of Winchester, will participate in the encampment. Mrs. C. H. Brown, of La grange. Ind., who has become familiar to the members of the order, having been given ovations on her appearance to sing the national hymn of the Sons of Veterans, “The Banner of Beauty and Glory,” has consented to attend the encampment, and, assisted by a local quartet, will sing patri otic song* LABOR MARCHES TO-DAY ♦ STREET DEMONSTRATION IN THIS CITY THIS MORNING. • 4 Arrangements Complete for the Mun cie Celebration—Last Meeting of the Committees. - The general Labor day committee held their last meeting here at the labor head quarters on Pennsylvania street yesterday morning.
