BLOOD FEUD
CLAIMS LAST
OF SHEFPERS
Death of Wife Ends
Family of Four
Victims.
AUBURN, Ind., June 24.—A blood
feud of unparalleled vindictiveness
against the old and young generations
of the family of James W. Sheffer
found its culmination early today
when Mrs. Cora Sheffer. the mother
and last survivor of a once happy
family, succumbed to the bullets of
the assassin who waylaid her and
her husft.>nd as they drove into the
dark garage late Thursday evening.
Police ire still questioning Nie
Sheffer ai intervals, but have been
unable to break down his reticence.
TWO REVOLVERS
BURIED 'N SHIRT.
Two revolvers said to have been
owned by Nie, a brother of the dead
man, were found wrapped in an old
shirt bur ed in a creek near the tent
where Nt 3 lived.
One of them was shown him and he
denied ever having owned it. Au
thorities declare it was in his posses
sion at the time the home of James
Sheffer was dynamited In January,
1921, and two children were killed and
the parents injured.
The ether gun was an automatic
pistol of .26 caliore said to be the one
with which Mr. and Mrs. Sheffer were
killed. It was not Bhown to the
prisoner.
PRISONER SAID
TO BE WEAKENING.
County officers continued grilling
hitn and they said Nie was weaken
ing in his stanch denial of the crime.
They wRI show him the other gun
?vhen they consider the psychological
effect it produces will bring a con
fession.
They said he weakened perceptibly
when they told him James Sheffer,
the dead man, was recovering
strength and whispered that he had
something to tell.
It was discovered that Nie's trous
ers and shoes and sox were wet
when he was arrested shortly after
the shooting. One of the sox was
in Che tent and the other was found
neat by today.
The theory is that his clothing be
came wet when he waded into the
creek near his tent to bury the guns.
With the guns were twenty-six cart
ridges of .32 calibre, two magazines
of cartridges for the small pistol, one
of which was full and the other con
taining five cartridges.
Nie is said to have had an argument
with his brother over money matters.
STATE BOARD
STARTS PROBE
OF MASSACRE
(Continued From Page One.)
suits of efforts of the operators to
work the mines in violation of an
agreement- not to ship coal for com
mercial purposes.
Trivial clashes between the guards
and miners along a disputed country
road served to arouse the miners'
animosity.
Ordering of Willis off the mine prop
erty by the slain J. B. McDowell,
superintendent of the mine, aroused
deep resentment.
THREAT OF SllT
STIRS NEW HATRED.
Announcement that the Southern
Illinois Coal Company, vyhioh owned
the mine where strikebreakers were
employed, would bring suits aggregat
ing $1,000.000. for damages against
the county and the miners union,
stirred the union miners to new
hatred.
Trouble is feared when funerals of
the victims are held..
Most of the bodies will not be
claimed. Many of the slain were
transient laborers who long ago gave
up family connections and their final
resting place will be the potter's field.
Coroner McCowan announced that
the Inquest over all the men will be
conducted as one case.
According to present plants, mine
union officials, if called to testify, will
declare that the workers employed by
the company were Chicago gunmen:
that they had blockaded a public
highway and refused to allow citizens
to pass on it; that they were working
In violation of a legal contract and
that they fired first.
Sentiment here is strongly against
any deep investigation of the mas
sacre aad the inquest la expected to
i>e entirely perfunctory.
DENOUNCES
ATROCITIES
WASHINGTON. June 24.—Labor
unions were bitterly denounced for
their part In the Herrin, 111., mine war
In a fiery speech, in the Senate today
by Senator Myers, Montana.
“The atrocities at Herrin, when
union laborers attacked men who had
been brought to work in the mines,
were more horrible, more shocking
than any committed by Germany in
the world war,'* Senator Myers
charged.
"A free American country does not
exist any more. Today an honest
workman who does not belong to the
labor unions Is not able to earn an
honest living, without first getting
consent of an organized minority,
which has decreed that no man in
America shall work without its per
mlssion.''
LESTER FEARS
MORE RIOTING
CHICAGO, June 24.—Danger of fur
ther rioting in the southern Illinois
mine fields Is feared. It developed to
day in a telegram sent to Governor
Small by Arthur S. Lytton, represent
ing William J. Lester, owner .of the
mining properties where the killings
took place.
The telegram urged the Immediate
dispatch of troops to the trouble zono
tCf-forestall further outbreaks.

BRANDS STORY
AS STRETCHED

was acting In the capacity of an at
torney and not a.s secretary of the
board of pardons, and why the fee
charged for the services was so large.
Mr. Seidensticker said Governor
Goodrich was informed he was acting
as an attorney, and that the fee was
6500, and not SBOO, as stated by Smith,
and that the amount of the fee was
not asked but offered.
Seidensticker said a payment of
SIOO first was made and that two
other payments were maße, the last
amounting to either S2OO or $250 be
ing paid after Smith had been re
leased from the penal farm.
GOVERNOR HAS
NOTHING TO SAY. -
Governor McCray declined to com
ment on the case except to say that
he did not believe acounts of the
case had clearly stated that Seiden
sticker's action had been purely as a
private attorney and not as secretary
of the pardon board.
“I acted as an attorney in pardon
cases but twice during the Goodrich
administration.” Mr. Seidensticker
said today “and those were in penal
farm cases.”
Official records show that Smith was
paroled by Former Governor James
Goodrich, Oct. 16, 1920, on recom
mendation of Charles J. Orbison, at
that time Federal prohibition director
for Indiana.
The files contain a letter from Or
bison to the Governor saying Smith
had served ninety days of the 180 given
him in city court July 12. 1920, for
violation of liquor laws, that Smith
had an excellent record and an in
valid wife was dependent upon him.
It would be an act of humanity to
parole him, the letter stated.
“If anybody criticizes you for this,”
the letter continues, “you can use
this letter for justifleatoin.”
The parole shows Governor • Good
rich took action on recommendation of
Orbison. The records do not show the
case ever was before the pardon board.
Smith’s fine was paid and, accord
ing to the story Smith told Judge An
derson. after serving 78 days he was
released after his wife had paid SBOO
to Seidensticker, secretary of the par
don board for his release.

MARY AND JOHN.
John Washington, negro, charged
with grand larceny, was sentenced to
the Indiana State Farm for six
months by Judge James A. Collins In
Criminal Court today. His wife,
Mary Washington, charged with re
ceiving stolen goods, was fined $1 and

a boy to play baseball." He ridiculed
conduct of the department last year,
asserting he meant no offense to Mr.
Jarvis, because, in his opinion there
were too many instructors. Ho in
sinuated the Jewett administration
took care of pol.tical debts by appoint
ing recreation instructors.
SIX GIRLS
PROMISED JOBS.
Six young woman who have at
tended the city recreation workers
training school at the Lauter Memorial
for two years, who said the mayor him
self promised them Jobs on the play
grounds this year were at the meet
ing. One of them said they were told
they would have to have a political
pull to get on the playground. She
said she has been Informed not more
than two or three of the sixty or more
girls in the school, which the city
maintains through the winter months,
have been appointed. Mr. Mcßride
said he did not know how many have
been named from the school. He in
sisted qualified directors have been
chosen.
Mr. Jarvis defended the number of
instructors on the playgrounds last
year and asserted he never made an
appointment on political or religious
grounds. At one time in 3321 thero
were 210 playground instructors. Thio
does not include matrons, custodians
and attendants. Mr. Mcßride
said sixty-eight Instructors went to

Elizabeth Hester, chairman of the

vehemently for retention of sufficient
trained workers on the grounds to
guide children's activities In proper

Juvenile Court Judge Is
Against Playgrounds Cut
Lack of play facilities for children
means Increased Juvenile delinquency,
declared Judge Frank J. Lahr of Ju

alterably opposed f.o the discontinu
ance of thirteen playgrounds by the
city recreation department.
“Children who are not under su
pervision almost always get into trou
ble,” said the Judge. ’’The play
ground Is the best means wo have
found yet of directing youthful ener
gies in proper instead of Improper
channels during the months when
school la out. Since school closed
two weeks ago, during which period
the playgrounds have not boon open,
we have noticed an increase In the
number of cases coming before the
court.
“On the other hand, there has been
a perceptible decrease in Juvenile de

been established. We noticed a

ized and its upbuilding started. As
the number of playgrounds was In
creased the problem of the court de
creased. There Is no doubt play
grounds axe one of the finest things
we have for the welfare of children.
“Most of the children who come
Into my court are from homes which
have no yards. There Is a front door
step and a hot, dusty stretch of side
walk and street instead. Aside from
the danger of accidents nobody will
argue a street Is an uplifting at
mosphere in which to permit children
to develop. I notice there Is a cam
paign on to keep children out of the
streets. "Where are they going if the
city does not provide places? Owners
of private property drive the boys out
for fear of broken window lights.
“I am of the belief that we do not
provide enough play facilities even
while school is In session. We have
the child problem with us twelve

of the most Important factors of It."

waa tied to the tire. The rope broke.
Three men appeared but Warweg

drove away, while the three would-be
hold-up men showered rocks at his
automobile.
