Streitenberger names Lengel Clarke in plot to murder Mellett
Five empty revolver cartridges were found in Streitenberger’s backyard as he told Prosecutor Harter that former police chief Lengel and Bertillon captain Clarke were involved in the plot to kill publisher Mellett. The shells, from McDermott’s gun, support Streitenberger’s confession and may lead to indictments when the grand jury meets.

Primary blow to Chapplear Herbert bill reshapes Ohio
The Chapplear Herbert election bill in the Ohio legislature would require state and U S senate candidates to gather about 16 000 signatures to run, a change from five under existing law. The measure also repeals equal representation for women on party central committees.
