The trial of Joseph Cninpbolll for tho murder of tho wlfo of former Warden ot tho Jollot penitentiary Is attract ing much attention. AVnt Pound Killed. Mrs. Edmund A Allen, wlfo ot the warden of tho Illinois state pon Itentlary at .Toilet, was found mur dered In her bod In tho warden's ?ulto of tho prison between flvo and six o'clock in tho morning of Juno 20. 1915. Her Bkull was crushed In and her body burned. Flro by which the slayer ovldontly sought to de stroy evidences of tho crlmo led to Its discovery. Joseph Campbell, better known ns "Chicken Joe," n negro trusty, nn "honor" man favored by tho war den and his wlfo, was immediately arrested nnd his conflicting stories led tho authorities to formally charge him with tho crime. La,t to See Hor. Campbell, who was serving n term of from ono year to llfo for the killing of Honry Stephens, a urgro Janitor, in Chicago, Novem ber 10, 1013, was said to bo tho Inst man to Imvo Boon the murder oil woman nllvo. According to his own testimony at tho inquest, ho brought Mrs. Allen tho morning papers less than nn hour boforo sho wan found slain and then took her pot dog for n walk, as was his cus tom. At C: 10 on tho morning of tho murdor, nearly nn hour boforo tho asunl rising time, tho gong, rung by a push button at tho bodBfdo of Mrs. Allen, Bot up a clamor.

Thero was no reply from tho ne Ero, but Larkln's call and tho con tinued ringing of tho gong brought Hurry Rogers, a night turnkey, from his post on tho lower floor. "I smell smoke," Ilogors snld, "Oct to tho flro whistle." Tho Volunteer flro squad, nt liieakfnBt nt tho time, responded to tho alarm and found tho charred body of .Mrs. Allen, after having broken down the 'door lending to her apartment. Flro Itlngx Hell. Had It not beon lor n freak' of the flames, tho wholo building might haVo beon burned out and nil evidence of a crlmo destroyed, It was established at tho innuest. Tho continued ringing of tho bell oper ated by tho push button In Mrs. Allen's apartment, was begun au tomatically when tho woodon cov ering was burned oft nnd tho wires short-circuited. Ulno Canned Dentil. Dr. V T. llcnson, former prison physician and nn old filond of Mrs. Allen, examined tho body and an nounced that tho wound in hor head had not caused hor death. It was Iho flro, ho said, that killed her. Tho murderer, tho physician though, had poured alcohol upon tho bcddlntr nttcr ho had attacked Mrs. Alton then touchod a match to tho shoots. An empty Jug that smelted of wood alcohol was found near tho bod. Found Hidden Jewels. It was at first announced that robbery was not tho motive- for tho crime, but sovoral valuablo articles of Jewelry woro found to bo missing. Severn! days later, however, theso woro found hidden In n pillow slip in nn adjoining room. To fnclM established. At tho tlmo of Campbell's arrest only thcs.o two facts wero absolute ly established: Find, that tho murdor was tho work of somo ono luoldo tho pout tontlary. Second, that It was tho act of ono of ten individuals, bocauso there woro but ton mon who could tiavo reached Mrs. Alton's bodcuambor Warden Absent. Warden Allen was absont at tho tlmo ot tho murdor. Ho had loft tho prison tho previous night for a ton-day trip to West Hadon, In dlaun, nt tho suggestion ot his phys ician. Mrs. Alton, disappointed by hor dressmaker at thu last mlnuto, did not accompany him. Negro Threatened Four days after tho murdor n Coronor's Jury returned a verdict to tho effect that tho victim came to hor death by a blow intllctod ' bv some person unknown to tho jury," but recommended that Camp bell bo held for tho grand jury. The negro was removed from tho prison to a coll in tho Will County Jail after demonstrations on Mio pnrt ot the convicts prior to tho warden's return when a lynching was foarcd. Campbell steadfastly clung to his story, protesting his Innoccnco and repented efforts on tho part of tho authorities failed to shake it In tho main. Mrs. Allen was prominent in Illi nois as Is also her husband. Safety First Service? FINK AND MAltlNU, AUTOMOMI.H, IIKALTH, ACCIDENT, LIF1J, WOKKMKX'H COMPKNBATIO.V AND MAUI MTV 1NHUKANOI3 E. I.
