Indiana Murderess at
Hot Springs.
Hot Springs, Nov. 5.—Has
Mrs. Belle Gunness of Murder
Hill fame, La Port, Ind., since
her disappearance from her
home, soon after the entire coun
try was shocked by the finding
of numerous bodies on her farm,
been living in or near Hot
Springs, Ark. ? That is the ques
tion police officials of Chicago
have set out to find. Chief of
Detectives Halpin of Chicago
has requested the local authori
ties to. investigate a report he
had received to that effect.
Halpin said his information
came from M. J. Merrell, pro
prietor of the Palace hotel of
Hot Springs. »
When seen last night Merrell
admitted he had written .the
Chicago officials and he was in
dignant that they had made his
letter public and used his name
in connection with his communi
cations.
Merrell positively declined to
give any details as to how he
was led to believe a woman who
came to Hot Springs shortly af
ter the expose of the Gunness
place was Mrs. Gunness, who
was supposed to have either
killed herself or been burned to
death.
After repeated questions had
been put to Merrell, he said the
subject had been called to his
attention about four or five
months ago by a man who at
present, Merrell believes holds
a county office- Merrell declined
to give the name of the man.
He would not state in what part
of Hot Springs the woman lived.
He said she resides in the sub
urbs. Merrell would not give i
the name the woman supposed to
be Mrs. Gunness is known by
here. He said she had been
pointed out to him. but that he
had never seen her except when
she was heavily veiled. Merrell
further said he would not know [
whether she was Mrs. Gunness
I
or not.

Murder Trial
Is Postponed
Johnson At Des Arc To Have
Hearing Nov. 14.
Des Arc, Nov. 5.— The pre
liminary trial of (leorge W. John
son. charged with being impli
cated in the murder of John
Howard here several weeks ago,
was continued to Friday, Nov
ember 14, today by agreement
j of counsel. Johnson was impii
jcated in the murder by a con
fession alleged to have been
made by Mrs. Belle DeLaney,
who is also charged with the
murder.
! Mrs. DeLaney, an odd charac
ter, whose only affection seemed
I to have been for her pet dog, is
. lonesome since she parted com
' pany with the dog. Previous to
; having the little dog sent to Pa
trolman Tisdale, to whom she
promised the canine when she
was arrested in a Hot Springs
dive, she kept the animal with
her in the county jail day and
night.
At the request of the unusual
prisoner, Sheriff A. V. Haris to
day took her to a local barber
shop that she might have her
hair trimmed.
“It’s getting too long for me,”
she told the sheriff- Sheriff
Harris said that she is the first
. • i • i -_1 .. ji_
woman piiMJiiei m iuiww
to prefer short hair, especially
when she must soon appear be
fore a jury to answer to so se
rious a charge as murder.
Settle By Compromise.
Batesville, Nov. 5.—A suit lor j
damages was settled here yes
terday when the Iron Mountain j
Railroad Company paid J. Q. i
Brick the $300 on compromise.
The plaintiff first brought suit
and compromised the case■
twice. But he was never sat- i
isfied and claimed that a claim j
agent of the road had threaten-:
ed him with criminal prosecu- j
tion if he did not settle- He1
took $8 at the hospital as set
tlement, and when he came home
and brought suit he settled again
for $25 rather than be prosecut
ed for refusing to settle, so he j
claims. The compromise yes- j
terday was before the court and 1
that will end the case.

For a Purpose
Style is like a shadow. You can point your
finger at it, hut you can’t put your finger on
it. It doesn’t shout—it whispers. It aims as
much for repression as for expression. A case in
point—
“Barrister” Walking and Easiness Boot—$5
Made of Black Calf or Russet 1 . aider—roundish, ]
sloping toe—perforated cap medium arch-- low,
square, solidly planted heel top corners curved off—
invisible eyelets—Cjothic hooks- a boot with that
deceptive plainness which is the quintessence of present
day “smartness.”
