R1E0 FOR MURD
A
A Capsule with a Remarkable
Story to Play an Important
: .      Part in the Trial.
The examination of Dr. and Mrs.
"Worden occupied two and one-half
days and they were last Friday bound
over to the June term of circuit court
on the charge of murder in the first
degree.        4
The evidence presented, even
though much was withheld, makes a
strong case against the prisoners.
The most startling fact brought out
was the existance of a capsule which
on analysis was found to contain the
same deadly poisin, potassium cyanide,
found jn the stomach of the murdered
man, Silas Burr. It was, however,
not until they learned of the sending
of the stomach to Ann Arbor for analysis that they took the officers into
their confidence, presenting the capsule and accompanying it with a remarkable story. Mrs. Worden told
Sheriff Updegraff, thus "he testified,
that on the morning of the day the
doctor and Mr. Burr started on their
ride to Harrison, she saw Mrs. Burr
make up two capsules, one of which
was given to Mr. Burr and the other
to Mrs. Worden for her husband so
that if either of the men got cold during the journey he should take the
capsule to warm him up. Dr. Worden
had said nothing as to the presence of
any capsuie on the night of his return
with the dead man, but weeks later
he said Burr had taken a capsule just
before becoming ill. " Mrs. "Worden
did not give her. husband the capsule
but kept it and finally gave it to the
officers. If this story.be true, the
guilt must rest upon Mrs. Burx and
hot upon the W6rdens. But evidently
-nobody believes such an allegation
and unless the prisoners can present
evidence, not now anticipated, it will
only tend to* strengthen the case of
.the people against them.
In addition to those whose testimony was given in last week's Sbn-
xixec the following -witnesses, were
called; R. Carson, L. D. Sillaway,
Jerome • Stevens, of Crooked Lake;
Deputy Sheriff Humes and Justice
Iyo», of Vassar; and Sheriff Upde
graff. This list is but a small part of
the number to be called at the trial.-
The case promises to be a very expensive one to the county.
Mrs. Burr accompanied by her
mother was in Clare Saturday on her
way home to Vassar, her former home,
where she now resides. Two children
belong to the home, wrecked by the
hand of crime, a girl of seven years of
age and a boy of three. Mrs. Burr
seems to he a very pleasant lady, is
highly respected at Crooked Lake.
She seems to have no bitterness in her
thought but is firmly desirous that
justice shall he done.-
HELD FOR TRIAL.
Mat Sentz, Jr., on Charge of Murder—
Mat Sentz, Sr., on Charge of .
Manslaughter.
The examination of Mat Sentz, Sr»,
and Mat Sentz, Jr., on the charge of
killing John Henry Moore on the
night of May 12, commenced before
Justice Williams on Tuesday morning,
and at five o'clock in the afternoon an
adjournment was taken until yesterday morning, when the examination
was again taken up.
It was nearly six o'clock when the
attorneys completed their work, and
it was up to Justice Williams to give
his decision. He decided to hold Mat
Sentz, Jr., to the circuit court to
allow a jury of twelve men to say
whether or not he is guilty of murder.
The charge of manslaughter was
placed against Mat Sentz, Sr., and he
was released on $2,000 bail which was
furnished, to appear at the next term
of the circuit court.—Coleman Independent.

Miss Anna M. Murphy and James
D. McConneli Married at
Nuptial Mass.
A very pretty wedding took place at
St. Cecelia's church Tuesday morning,
June 2nd, when Anna Marguerite,
eldest daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Peter
Murphey of Sheridan, was united in
the holy bonds of wedlock to James D.
McConneli of .Vernon. The church
was well nigh filled as its first wedding
party entered its portals to the strains
of' Mendelssohn's wedding march
played by Mrs. O. M. Sutherland.'
Eev. Ff. M alone performed the ceremony at which time nuptial mass was
said, and offered words of advice on4
the" sanctity of the marriage vow, all
in keeping with this impressive service
of the Catholic church.
The bride was attired in a very becoming gown of pale silk trimmed
with silk applique and carried white
carnations. Miss Mae' Murphy of
Saginaw, cousin of the bride, acted as
maid of honor and was gowned in pale
blue foulard silk and wore a black
picture hat. "Raymond McConneli,
brother of the groom, was best man.
After the ceremony the bridal party
repaired to the home of the bride's
parents to a Wedding reception given
in honor of Mr. and Mrs. McConneli.
Both the bride and groom are well
known in this vicinity, she as a most
aimable and highly respected young
lady and he as a genial and worthy
young farmer. The gifts were numerous and valuable, the principal one
being, a cheque for 81,000, the gift of
the bride's father;
The happy couple left on the evening train for a trip to .Ludington,
Chicago and Grand Rapids with the
best wishes of'a host of friends for
their future happiness and prosperity.

in this vicinity. But he has been
called hence. The- sympathy Of ihe
community is with the family, especially with the devoted wife, who with

the years have gone by, has given us
an example of how noble a true*wife
and mother is.

kindly love for husband and family,
and by the sweet spiritual influence
exerted over all who knew her.
Eor years past, morning^ afternoon

and sing alone in her Sweet, low voice,
the hymns she loved so well, especially
loving to sing tho hymns, "Sweeping
Through the Gates," and "Nearer My
God■ to Thee." .She loved them not
alone for the sweet-music bat for the

Warning Against Profanity.
At the ball game last Saturday afternoon the language and conduct of one
or two persons was on one occasion
decidely indecent. But during the
evening Mayor Lacy swore out a war-
rent for one lad who appeared before
Judge Maynard, pleaded guilty and
was fined SI and costs. The owners
of the ball park likewise have prohibited the same person from participating in any games in ths park this
season. J[
There is no good reason v/hy profanity and indecent language should play
any part in good clean sport, such as
our national f-ame of base ball, and
the stand taken by a number of our
best citizens in the incident at the
ball park will have a most wholesome
influence upon some who too readily
"'take the name of the Lord * * * in
vain."
It would be a good time now to inaugurate a crusade against improper
larigurge on the streets in the presence
of small boys and-even when ladies
are passing. In the particular instance In question the name of the
offender is lenown to many of the
people of Clare but because we desire
to deaf generously with him, we forbear publishing his name with the
hope that .in the future the Sentinel
will have no farther Occasion, to discuss the question. o£ profanity^

P. M. Short Route
From Glare Northwest?
On the autherity of the Detroit
Eree Press negotiotioris are in progress
for the Pere Marquette's acquisition of
the "Klondike," a branch railroad
extending from Rapid City in the
northwest corner of Kalkaska county
to Stratford in the northern part of
Missaukee county. The plan is to
secure a short route from Detroit to
northwest Michigan, which is in keeping with- the announced policy of the
P. M*. system to build up trunk lines.
At present the P. M, has two routes
from Detroit to.northwestern Michigan, one by way ol Grand Rapids and
north and the other by way" of Saginaw
west to Baldwin and then north.
But here at Clare where the P. M.
line crosses the Ann Arbor the former
has a branch extending to. Harrison
and on northwest to Leotaj near the
border of Clare and Missaukee counties. Rapid City lies about twenty-six
miles north of Leota ahd so with the
purchase of the Klondike the P. M.
road would need to construct only a
few miles of road to give it a practically straight road .from Detroit to
Petoskey and northwestern Michigan,
a saving of more than sixty miles over
the distance on either of the present
routes.
ably the last under the supervision of
the Booming Company, and such logs
as are sent down in the future will
be done by private .parties. The
vast forest of pine which once covered
this whole valleyf have passed down
the stream, the proceeds of which have
made millionaires, who are now scattering their wealth in many and
widely separated sections of the earth,
and it is a, lamentable fact that not
many remain in the state which furnished material from which their fortunes were derived. Charles H- Hack-
ley, of Muskegon, is one conspicous
example of those beneficiaries, who
seeing the fitness of things, is giving
the people of his own town through
his open handed liberalty many evidences of his appreciation by building
schools, parks and other needed improvements for the pleasure and pr.oflt
of the people. God bless Hackley! His
named will be reverenced after the
names of most of the others have been
fovgotton.—Evart Review.
