JUDGE BETHURUM
TO BE CANDIDATE
FOR ILS. SENATE
Pomlnent Republican Announces That
He Will be Candidate for the
Republican Nomination for
Senator In 1021.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 2. Judge B.
J. Dethurum, for twelve years circuit
Judge of the Twenty-eighth Judicial
District, today confirmed a report pub--llihed
In Sunday's Leader that ho will
be a cauddate for the Republican sen
atorial nomination In 1924. when the
term of Senator A. O. Stanloy, Deuiu
cratle Incumbent and senior senator
will expire.
Whoa asked for a statement regard
ing persistent reports tha he would
enter the contest for the Kentucky
toga, Judge lleihurum said: "You may
say that I will be In the race for tho
Senate In 1924 and that at tho proper
time I will make formal announcement
of my candidacy.
"I have been encouraged to bolleve
that my entrance Into tho race will
promote harmony and brlug about a
reeling of good fellowship In our ranks
which Is so necessary to success In
Kentucky. Two years ago I was urged
to make the race for senator and bad
pledges of support from all over tho
state. A careful study of the situation
convinced me that It was for the best
interest of the Dresldoutiol election
that no primary be held In Kentucky
that year, and I cheerfully yielded In
.the interest of Senator Ernst"
Judge Dethurum has been legal ad
viser to the Kentucky prohibition de
partment and chief assistant to Di
rector Sam Collins for the past year
and has greatly Increased his popular
ity with the rank and file of the people
who stand for strict enforcement of
the prohibition laws.
Judge Dethurum was a candidate in
the 1918 Republican primary for the
senatorial nomination, but was defeat
ed by a small margin by Dr. Ben U
Bruner, of Louisville, who In turn was
riareated bv Senator Stanley at the
general election. Judge Bethurum was
In a Chicago hospital daring most of
the psmnalcn and did not make an
active canvass of the state In 1918.
It Is considered probable that, Dr
Bruner may opose him agutn In the
1924 contest. Others who have been
mentioned as possible candidates are
Governor Morrow and Judge Charles
Kerr, who recently resigned as Judge
of the Panama Canal Zone to accept a
place on the War Frauds Commission
at Washington.

Captain Tburman Sowers, of Man
chester, Ohio, the bloodhound man,

the Poplar Flat neighborhood In Lewis
county where he had been called by
Mr. Lafayette Hunt, well known farm

bluestone and salt scattered about his
pasture field, evidently In an attempt
to poison his cattle and sheep.
Captain Sowers' dogs took a trail

been placed and ran directly to the
home of Dan Richards a well-known
huckster of that neighborhood. War

murder, Bimultansouely attacked state
ments made by the rector's widow.
who, she charges, was present at the
slaying of Rev. Edward W. Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor Mills.
Mills, laying atide the meek de
meanor he has assumed since the
crime, took issue with Mrs. Hall's as
sertion that she notified police of her
husband's disappearance before she
saw Mills the morning after the rector
left home.
"I met Mrs. Hal: about 8:30 a. m.,
Friday, at the church and she told me
Hall bad not been borne the previous
night," Mills said.
"I said, 'Noither was Eleanor. Maybe
they have eloped.'
" 'No. St must have been foul play,'
he replied.
"I myself suggested calling police
and she said Rhe would telephone them
and did not ultimate she already had
called them. Later in the day she told
me she had notified .them Mrs. Mills
was missing."
Mrs. Hall said rceatedly yesterday
she had not VV: 1 with Mills as to
