THINK GIFFIN
WAS
VICT M
OF CRUEL FATE
People of South Bend Who
Bought Stock Are Divided
as to Opinion of Man Who
Offered Mine For Sale.

Marvin Campbell, Who Pur
chased Some Shares, Says
Purchase of Goods Was
Merely a Business Mistake.
Whether Abner C.iffin, incarcerate
fit Import' on the char,: of mulcting
northern Indiana. southern Michigan
and Ohic: people out of an aggregate
cum of $10O,0'0 on gold mining stock
near Seattle, Wash., started out with
that intention is a question.
According to some who have held
Kimc of the stock, and do yet, they
hclieve that Giffin at the time he first
nppeared in South Pend about eight
years ago was on the square. He
JiCtually believed lie had a first class
gold mine and that after the proper
amount of money had been spent in
bringing it into being, would net good
results. Hut apparently the mine
ither "petered out." or not enough
money was on hand to continue oper
ating it. and in desperate circurn
F.anee Giffin was possibly driven to
employ methods not exactly on the
level. belieing that in the end he
could come out ahead and meet all
his obligations.
In an effort to get a possible ink
ling as to the man's real motives,
Marvin Campbell, president of the
Kidding Paper Hox Co. and .South
Hend National bank, who at the time
Giffin first appeared, bought some
of the stock, was approached for a
statement. Mr. Campbell at first re
fused to talk on the matter over the
telephone, but later issued a state
ment. In it he confessed to having
purc hased some stock from Giffin but
that h; disposed of it after he dis
covered the mine was not panning
out as promised. Mr. Campbell ex
plained the buying of stock by many
of the city's business men as merely
a "business mistake."
Mr. Cainplxdrs Statement.
In his statement given to the News
Times Mr. Campbell said:
"As to whether Mr. Giffin is honest
I do not know. I did buy a small
ii mount of his stock about eight years
ugo. I sold it all not a great while
iit'ter to a Chicago broker, when I
found be was not developing with the
rapidity promised. With three other
men I visited his mine near Seattle,
"Wash. He had a well equipped saw
mill for getting out lumber. He had
n horse car track from the mines to
a warehouse at the railroad. This
warehouse was well filled at the time,
with ore. He had a well equipped
and well kept boarding house at the
mines and several miners at work.
Wo stayed at the mines one night and
two days.
"He showed smelter receipts for a
pood many cars of ore, the receipts
giving the amount paid for the ore. It
indicated u'u"d ore. He seemed to lack
money for proper equipment of road
led, cars and an engine to take ore
to the railroad. We made inquiry of
bankers and business men in Seattle
as to Mr. (tiffin's standing. The uni
form statement was confidence in his
Integrity and purpose.
"After we came home the South
Bend stockholders wanted to know
what we hail seen and we told them
without any advice or recommenda
tion. Indeed. I distinctly recall that
two younu men called at my office and
asked if I had bought stock. I said.
Yes, a small amount.' They said,
'Do von advise us to buy?' I said,
Can" von afford to lose it.' Thev
i-uid. "No." I then said, 'Don't buy
it. Don't buy any mining slock if
you can't afford a total loss, for a.11
mines not fully developed are uncer
tain.' They did not buy.
Doubtful as to GUTm.
'At the time I thought Mr. Giffin
honest. At this time I have no opin
ion, for as stated above. I sold out
long ago and have had no touch with
him. That he h is not done what he
promised is certain. He may have
done the best he could.
"As to whether the mine property
worked would pay I do not know. In
fact. 1 have no opinion. I do know
that many men who have been in close
contact with it did for a long time
think it a good mine and insisted that
I made a mistake to sell because it
did not develop with the prorr.ised ra
pidity. What I saw of Mr. Giffin
would make me think he ..started out
with intentional honesty. As to
whether he afterwards deviated from
that I do not know."
According to report. South Rend
people who are said to have pur
chased stock from Giffin are as fol
lows: Marvin Campbell, John Camp
bell. L. H. Rulo, A. H. France. Dr. L.
S. Kilmer, Dr. E. II. Dean, Noah Leh

It appears Giffin was in South Rend
f ight year j ago. Stock held by L. H.
Kulo is dated Nov. 25, 1903. No com
pany was formed, all stock being
bought direct from Giffin. It also ap
pears that during the rirst year fol
lowing the sale of stock dividends
were pai l. Mr. P.ulo stated Thursday
jiight that he had received a six per

stated that a dividend was paid the

RUMANIA HAS

BULGARIANS MAKE
APPEALFOR PEACE
Efforts to Drive a Wedge Be
tween Greek and Servian
Armies Has Been a Complete
Failure.
LOaDOX, July 11. 11k kiny of
Rumania lias declared war on Ihil
garia. The Rumanian minister at
Sofia lias been rivalled. The Sofia
correspondent of the Times sends tills
announcement early Friday morning.
LONDON, July 10. The end of a
fortnight's desperate fighting in the
Ralkans fir'1 Bulgaria forced td appeal
to the power.- to arrange peace. The
Bulgariau ;.an to drive a wedge be
tween the Greek and Servian armies
in the neighborhood of Guevgheil has
completely failed. The last reports
of the fighting received from Athens
Tuesday night show that the Servians
and Greeks at this point are combin
ing their forces, while the Rumanian
army is beginning an Invasion of Bul
garia. The latter fact doubtless was the
deciding factor in the Bulgarian ap
peal to the powers. How far Bul
garia's defeat Is due to dissensions in
high military quarters, which result
ed In the resignation of Gen. Savoff,
:ind how far to the fact that the Bul
garian troops, which bore the brunt
ol the hard fighting in the last cam
paign, were more exhausted than the
Greek and Servian forces, will prob
ably never be known.
New Factor In I rohlcm.
Nothing can be predicted at the mo
ment as to how events will shape
themselves, the Rumanians invasion of
Bulgaria having brought an entirely
new factor into the problem. Russia
and France are devoting their efforts
to persuading the allies to adopt a
moderate attitude in order to facilitate
a peaceful settlement. The Servian
premier is quoted in the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse as declaring that the new
war has completely set aside all
treaties of alliance and that peace
must now be negotiated on an entirely
new basis.

Detectives Say Inquest Was a
Farce and Verdict Unjusti

ASK THAT GIRL'S BODY
BE TAKEN FROM GRAVE
Hot Quarrel Follows Jury Ac
tion and Sensational De
velopments May be Forth
coming. WILKESBARRE. Pa., July 11.
The mystery surrounding the death
of Alice Crlspell, whose ' body was
found in Harvey's lake Monday, was
complicated Friday by a bitter fight
between the district attorney's oiiice
and .the coroner, which promises to
lead to sensational developments.
"The coroner and his Jury acted
Illegally in bringing a verdict, and
it was what I expected," said Detec
tive McKelvey of the district attor
ney's force. "The coroner's jury is
to determine the cause of death and
who committed the crime, if possible,
but not who is innocent of the crime.
When I saw three of the coroner's
deputies on the jury I didn't try to
get a verdict."
McKelvey says he has enough evi
dence to hold Johns at the court
hearing Friday night and promises to
spring a few sensations.
William Crispell, father of the girl,
is being closely watched. Crispell
claims that he was in his home at the
time of the affair.
McKelvey declared Friday he
would ask for a disinterment of the
body of the dead girl. He says many
Important matters were overlooked
when the body was first examined.
"I believe Alice Crispell was mur
dered but the failure of the detectives
to produce any tangible evidence at
the Inquest justifiees the verdict," was
Coroner Marley's reply to McKelvey.
The section of the verdict that "the
crime may never be solved", is a slap
at the inefficiency of the detectives,
says Marley.
Johns was present at the Inquest and
was identified by several of the wit
nesses who saw him with the girl on
the night of JuLy 4. He was not al
lowed to testify by his counsel and
was returned to the jail although he
will probably be released Friday.
After declaring their belief that the
girl had been murdered the jury in
Its finding said: "The evidence in this
case fails to show any motive for
crime on the part of Herbert Johns,
and we feel certain that when we con
sider the evidence, which showed the
deceased to have always had a cheer
ful nature and therefore not subject to
morose, spells and therefore not liable
to take" her own life, that a crime has
been committe. However, we feel
that this, as other crimes of Its kind,
will never be discovered, but some evi
dence of guilt may subsequently be
brought to light resulting in Just pun
ishment for the culprit."

SAYS FI11S SHE
Woman Sues to Have Deeds to
Land Set Aside Elkhart
Man Handled Deal.
Charging that she has been the vic
tim of a gross fraud in a re-al estate
transaction, Albertina Keck has filed
suit in the circuit court to have a deed
to property In South Bend worth $10,
000 executed to Rosa Adamek through
Miles Reid, set. aside and declared
void.
Rcid is a real estate dealer in Elk
hart, and Mrs. Adamek lives in North
Star, Mich. According to the com
plaint Mrs. Keck was to receive deeds
to four farms in exchange for her
city property. The property included
a farm in Elkhart of 7: acres, one in
Newago county, Michigan, of 120
acres, Jackson countv. iVs., L'OO acres
tieside a tract in Georgia, There are
mortgages on two of the properties
for a total of $1,654 according to
Reld's representations, the complaint
says.
Mrs. Keck alleges that the land was
supposed to be tillable, but that she
found it worthless, that it was en
cumbered for more than it was worth
and that the tract in Georgia in fact,
did not exist. She says she was sup
posed to get deeds to the property but
in fact only received contracts im
posing conditions.
Mrs. Keck alletres she was damaged
in the sum of $12,000 by the trans
action and demands that the deed she
executed be set aside.
The suit of Margaret Fischer
against William and Frederick
Fischer, demanding a deed be set
aside on the ground of fraud, which
was filed in the superior court some
time ago, has been transferred to the
circuit court.

Come on Kids Its Swimming
Time at Leeper Park Pool
BY MAUGARKT TOBIN.
"Mother, may I go out to swim?
Oh, yes, my darling daughter "
The famous advisory clause which
mother attached to her consent is
omitted in these days of modern con
trivances in South Bend.
Swimming has tecome safe and
Bane and mother merely gives daugh
ter her oldest apron and a pair of
bloomers and tells her to be home by
4 o'clock. Daughter, with a hop, skip
and a Jump, is off for the swimming
pool in Leeper park.
On the way she meets thre or four
little girl pals bound for the same
place. It takes but a minute in the
seclusion of the little hath house, to
done the miscellaneous garments that
do duty as swimming attire.
With a bound they are balancing
themselves on the stone rim of the
pool. Then there is a jump, a splash,
and a giggle, and the girls are flound
ering like so many little water
spaniels in the middle of the pool.
Ago Limit is Fixed.
The shallowness of the pool estab
lishes an age limit, but a girl of
twelve, if she isn't ko very large, can
swim a little if she stays in the very
middle.
The pool was a t8ngle of sprawling
arms and legs when I strayed there
Thursday afternoon. From the con
fusion bobbing heads arose every
once in a while. Water splashed back
and forth and there was an intermit
tent chorus of squeals and giggles.
A fringe of very little boys and
girls around the edge of the pool
paddled and splashed in the shallow
water the older ones scorned.
Newport has nothing to say as to
the style of bathing suit that "may be
worn at the pool. An apron and a
pair of bloomers are the accepted
fashion. And the apron may be
faded and almost torn in twain with
out impairing its suitableness. In lieu
of an apron some of the girls are
wearing a petticoat with a sleeveless
waist.
Among the very tiny folks rompers
or a little cotton slip is considered
adequate. One of the larger girls in
the pool on Thursday had a regular
Car Goes Over Embankment to
Avoid Collision Crashes In
to House.
WINDSOR, Vt.. July 11. Pres.
Wilson narrowly escaped injury m an
auto wreck Friday when his chauffeur
had to drive off the road, crash down
an embankment and run flush against
a houj-e to avoid collision with a car
traveling in the opposite direction.
The auto carrying the secret' service
men had to go down the same em
bankment. The president was return
ing from a eolf game- and was severe
ly bumped about but laughed heartily
at his experience.
The other car was approaching on
a narrow bridge and all three were
going at a fair rate of speed. There
was no chance for the approaching
car to turn out. The president's
chauffeur realized the situation in
stantly and turned into the cfltch.
Later on the same narrow road the
presidential car met u horse, unac
customed to aut s. The horse reared
tip and pawed' the cir threatening to
btrike the president or h's chauffeur.
The party had to stop and the secret
service men sot out and held the

bathing suit and several others wore
lathlng caps, but there seemed to be
an inclination to regard those things
as ostentatious.
Fine Clothes a Ilaiylicap.
Two little girJs, starched, ruffled
and superlatively fine, stood upon the
edge of the pool. They looked long
and enviously at the half grown mer
maids sprawling in the water.
"Do they rent bathing suits here?"
inquired one of the girls. Her ques
tion was directed at a veritable little
white Topsy who was cutting frenzied
capers in the water.
"Do dey rent bathin' suits here?"
yelled Topsy in derision. "Ah gee,
of course dey does. But it ain't every
one what can afford a suit like
mine." he pointed to a rag of a
petticoat that covered her lanky form.
Topsy was having her first lesson in
swimming. Her teacher was a little
curly-headed girl perhaps a year
younger than herself.
"She can't never learn to swim."
a small boy standing near mo on the
edge, remarked contemptuously.
Then he looked at me and inquircu
apologetically, "Is she your kid?"
Topsy responded to his compliment
with a ".Scat, you get out of here;
you'ie more'n eight years old." Boys
above eight are under a ban at the
pool.
Between Two Fires.
Topsy was without doubt the
noisiest and most aggressive of the
swimmers. The most timid was a
little tow-headed girl of four sum
mers. Either she was pulling up her
little wisp of a dress to keep it from
touching the water or she was re
treating into the shallows to keep the
water from coming up to her skirt.
When a youngster's teeth began to
chatter she dodged out of the water
and rolled herself in the warm sand
by the pool. Heads and all, they bur
rowed into it and piled it over their
bodies and limbs. Then when they
were coated thick they dashed back
into the water to begin all over again.
A few grown people watched the
children curiously and enviously.
"I'd like to try it. myself." said one
woman, with a sigh for the days that
are gone. !
