dmission Made During Series of Re

o ned Said He Would Meet His
Maker a 3 Became Innocent Man.
T(‘,go.\'TO./Henry Love, a farm 1
bborer, Was hanged at Owen Sound,
. on May 27, 1913, for murder
gh wife. The evidence was pure
-cumstantial, and the chief wit-
Iy C 1 v
s against the man was his 14
ear old SO, Arnold Love.
That son, now @ man of 22 years,
i the Toronto jail, following a
anfession_that he had slain his
mother. His statement is guarded
by officials of the Ontario attorney,
ggneml‘s department, but it 1s ru
mored to be full of details as to the
manner in which the crime was com
mT;l.l confession was first made to
the Rev. T. Sharpe, a revivalist, who
Was conducting a series of meetings
at Ceylon, a little h;imlet, vyhere
Love has been living with a family to
ghose charge he was committed fol
pwing the hanging of his father.
After telling the Rev. Mr. Sharpe a
gart of his story the young man, it
s reported, repeated it im the pres
ence of Rev. T. McCarden,
Prosecutor Hears Story.
The two clergymen were so im
pressed by the tale that they brought
love here, where he is said to have
sgain told his story in detail before
iorney General Raney and some of
his assistants. He will be taken back
t, Owen Sound jail, in the district
shere he resides, and where he will
have a preliminary hearing soon.
Lucile Love, the murdered woman,
ind her husband were deeply reli
gious, and the woman, it is asserted,
showed symptoms of epilepsy, which
were also displayed, it is said, by the
son. On Dec. 8, 1912, she “disap
peared. The next day and subse
uently Love and some/ neighbors
searched for her. The husband was
first to discover her body in what
had intended to be a cellar under the
kitchen of their house. The head had
een battered in with an axe and the
‘ dy was hacked badly.
Subsequently, owing to a number
of conflicting statements, the elder
Love was arrested and placed on
trial. His son told of concocting a
story with his father that a suspicious
and mysterious stranger had been
.oon around the house, from which
I claimed to have been absent all
the day of the murder, The jury
which found Love guilty was im
pressed by this part of the evidence.
. Love maintained his innocence to

Je:ters while awaiting execution,
mostly strings of” scPiptural quota

the cap was put over his eyes, he said

ONE MAN RUNS DOWN THREE
THOUSAND COUNTERFEITERS
Believes He Has Done His “Bit,” and
Retires at Age of 73.
LOUISVILLE.—Having sent al
most 3,000 counterfeiters to federal
prisons since he entered the United
States secret service in 1886, Capt.
Schuyler A. Donnella, “Grand Old
Man” of the customs house here, be
lieves he has done his “bit” and has
regigned. He is 73 years old.
Among the many counterfeiting
cliques that Capt. f‘;onella helped to
break up was that led by John Rob
erts, said to have manufactured $l,-
000,000 in fake notes; the Mont
gomery gang, in Butler county, Penn
sylvania, 23 of whose members were
convicted; and the McCarthy gang of
Omaha, He trailed the McCarthy
crowd for two years. Donnella ar

GOVERNMENT’S TAX GATHERER
WENT DEEP INTO POCKETS
OF CITIZENS OF STATE.
Although federal income taxes
were reduced 50 per cent and cor
poration taxes 33 per cent the col
lections for Georgia for the fiscal
year ending June 30 were $42,665,-
792.58, it was announced Tuesday,
more than $10,000,000 increase over
the collections of the previous fiscal
year,
A. O. Blalock, collector of internal
revenue for Georgia, attributed the
large increase to the general pros
perity of the state, and said a Ilarge
portion of the federal revenue was
'derived from the corporate interessts,
~and no excess profits were charged to
\\ individuals or partnerships.
, Georgia stands well up on the list
of southern states, although North
Carolina and Texas lead all others as
pavers of federal taxes.
Returns from the southern states
in round figures were as follows:
Maryland, including Delaware and
the District of Columbia, $120,750,-
000; Alabama, including Mississippi,
$29,560,000; Arkansas, $12,233,000;
Florida, $15,336,000; Georgia, $42,-
665,000; Louisiana, $50,984,000;
North Carolina, $169,206,000; Okla
homa, $25,600,000; South Carolina,
$26,650,000; Tennessee, $36,138,000;
Texas, $103,004,000; Second Vir
ginia district, $51,808,000; Sixth Vir
ginia distriet, $17,503,000.
Five and a Half Billion.
The bureau of internal revenue an
nounced that the totals were taken
from field reports from all sections
of the country and are subject only to
minor corrections.
The total internal revenue taxes
collected and deposited during the
fiscal vear ended June 30 amounted
to $5,410,284,874. According to.com
pilation made by the bureau of in
ternal revenue from field reports just
received this is the greatest annual
tax collection made by the bureau
since it establishment in 1862, The
cost of eollection will approximate
fifty-five cents for each $lOO rev
enues received from income and ex
cess profits taxes amounted to $3,-
944.55.737.93, and from miscellane
ous taxes $1,465,729,136.97.
North Carolina retains the lead as
the oreatest contributor among south
ern states to federal coffers. This
i< becanse of the large number of cot
ton mills located in the state and the
immense revenues received because
of North Carolina’s tobacco crop.

MAN GOES THROUGH THRILLING
EXPERIENCE IN HANDS OF
BANDITS. IS IN HOSFITAL.
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo.—Geo. |
M. Underwood, who lost a hand and
leg when bandits tied him to a rail
road track five minutes before a train
iappeared, told the story of his experi
ence and denied that the men had any I
motive that he knew of except rob-|
;bery. He said that he saw them both‘
distinetly and that both were strang
lers to him.
| Underwood is in a hospiptal here,
iwhere he is expected to recover.
. “An hour or so ‘after dark,” he!
!said, “I was walking through the park
ito the Wabash station to catch a train
for Carrollton, Mo., my home. A big|
‘black touring car stopped near me and
'two-men dismounted. They lifted the
'hood over the engine and I believed
|something was wrong with the car. I
\approached and asked if I could help. |
| “When I approached the larger of |
!the two men drew a revolver and said |
‘Get into the car.’ They forced me
into the car and took my watch and
$7O. They drove sonth and one of the
men said, ‘Let’s kill the ——’
“No,” returned the other, ‘we will
tie him to the railroad track.’
“We stopped once at a pile of barb-‘
ed wire and one of the men left the
car and returned with several long |
strands of it. We stopped again near
there and I was forced to alight.
“While one man pressed the revolv
ler against my ribs the other tied my
{hands with barbed wire. Then he
jpulled off my shirt and tore it intol
|strips. One of these he stuffed in my
’mouth as a gag, tying it securely.
| “‘Get down on the track,” they
icommanded, and when I refused the
{larger man leaped on me, throwing‘
{me to the ground. They dragged mei
[to the east rail with my head to the
[north and tied me there. Then they
|left me and I heard them start their
|engine and depart. A few minutes
Ilater while I was struggling to escape
II heard the rumble of the approach
ing train. Then the headlight appear
led and swept over me. I tried to
|scream, but the rags in my mouth
Ithrottled my voice. The train was
|coming on and I felt my mind was go
ling, The mental torture seemed to
'be overwhelming. As the engine came
|within a few yards of me I threw all
{my strength into another attempt to
!escape. My right hand was free at
{last and I tore the gag from my
'mouth, screaming. Then I loosened
'my right leg and swung partly free
|from the track, but my left foot and
‘hand were too tightly bound to be
released.
| “The engine was thundering down
‘on me. Something seemed to sting
'my entire body. I could not hear my
own voice above the roar of the train
ias it chopped off my foot and hand.
'T suppose I fainted for a moment, but
{soon I was screaming again. A farm
ler came from somewhere and helped
;untiefithe barbed: wire which was still
| party strung around my body.
| “T am sure I know of .o one who
would wish to kill me. My family has
'no enemies I am aware of.”

BARN OWL GREAT MOUSER.
When she has young the barn owl
brings a mouse to her nest about ev
ery 12 minutes. As she is actively
engaged at both evening .and dawn,
and as both male and female hunt,
40 mice a day is a low estimate of the
total capture.

S‘y' About Rat Poison.
“Tried preparations that kill rats,
but RAT-SNAP is the only one that,
prevents disagreeable odors after kill
ing. Also like RAT-SNAP because it
comes in handy cakes, no mixing
with other food. You don’t have to
dirty your hands, it’s the best for
household use.”” Try RAT-SNAP.
