    Notes:

    AGED WOMAN DEAD
    MRS. JULIA A. HEDGES WHO CAME HERE SEVENTY YEARS AGO
    Julia A. Hedges, who is believed to have nearly been 100 years old, was found dead in bed at her home, 1012 Rhode Island Street, yesterday morning by her son, Jonas Hedges. Her husband, Monroe Hedges, who says he was 105 years old Feb. 11, survives her.
    Mrs. Hedges came with her relatives from Flemingsburg, Fleming County, Kentucky, about seventy years ago and settled in Indianapolis. At that time Indianapolis was a village, and the greater part of the houses were located west of the river. Mr. Hedges arrived a few weeks later and he and Mrs. Hedges were married. At first they lived in a tent, but soon secured a house. Mr. Hedges was a wagon maker and he also worked on the old Madison Railroad. At present he lives in a little house back of the one occupied by his son. There is an old wagon shop on the lot, where he spends the greater part of his time. Coroner Nash held an autopsy on the remains of Mrs. Hedges yesterday and decided that death was due to senile debility.

    Fatal Results of a Fight on the Commons North of the City.
    Dan Gaddis Dies at Whitestown – Was Struck with a Neckyoke by Ambrose Hedges – No Arrest Made.
    Dan Gaddis, of Whitestown, Boone county, died yesterday morning from the effects of a blow administered by Ambrose Hedges, of this city. Gaddis has been suffering for two weeks from a bad wound in the head, which was inflicted by a heavy neckyoke. He received the blow in a quarrel and fight that ensured over an argument with hedges. Gaddis and his wife have been traveling about the State trading horses, and two weeks ago camped in the river bottoms, north of the city.
    One day, Ambrose Hedges, who lived in the commons east of the City Hospital, went over to the Gaddis camp, and became involved in a quarrel with the couple, which finally ended in the woman attacking him with a knife. Hedges was severely cut, but managed to get hold of a neckyoke, and dealt Dan Gaddis a blow with the implement that stopped hostilities on the part of the wife. Hedges was taken to the City Hospital, and Police Sergeant Kurtz went out to arrest the horse traders but learned that they had pushed on toward Whitestown. Hedges recovered from the knife wounds and arranged to swear out warrants for the arrest of the Gaddis woman, but learning that her husband was at the point of death from the injury received at his hands he decided to pursue the matter no further. Yesterday Coroner Beck received official notice of the death, but referred the Whitestown officers to the Boone cunty coroner. Hedges has not been arrested.

    In the fight which ensued Dan Gaddis was struck in the head with a neck yoke wielded by Hedges, frm the effect of which Gaddis died last week. Mary Gaddis then attacked Hedges with a knife and cut him so severely that he was confined to the City Hospital for a week. He yet shows the marks of the infuriated woman’s knife. He states that he struck Gaddis purely in self-defense and to save his own life, as the latter came at him with murder in his eye. Hedges will be taken to Boone county for trial.

The affray which resulted in the death of Gaddis and fearful knife wounds to the person of Hedges occurred on the evening of Sept. 7 on the bank of Fall creek at the end of Indiana avenue. Dan and Mary Gaddis and Cecil Bunnells, all of Whitestown, were strolling around the State engaged in trading horses. Here they met Hedges, who lived with his mother near the City Hospital, and quarreled with him over a trade. In the trouble Hedges secured a neckyoke and struck Gaddis a blow over the head form which he died within a week.

    Ambrose D. Hedges Not Guilty of Murder
    (Special to the Indianapolis New)
    Lebanon, November 16 – The case of the State vs. Ambrose D. Hedges for the murder of Daniel Gaddis in September last, which was begun on Monday in the Circuit Court, terminated this morning by a verdict of not guilty. The evidence showed that Gaddis and his family and Cecil Burk approached Hedges, while the latter was encamped near Fall creek, close to Indianapolis, and proposed trading horses. A quarrel arose, but the Gaddis family left at the time, going to Indianapolis. While there they became intoxicated, and Burk purchased a pistol, with which they returned and renewed the quarrel with Hedges. A fight ensued in which Hedges struck Gaddis on the head with a neck yoke, from the effect of which the latter died two weeks later. Burk shot at Hedges, and Mrs. Gaddis inflicted eight ugly knife wounds upon Hedges’s body. The verdict could have been nothing else under the evidence. Burk has been sentenced to two years imprisonment from Marion county for attempting to murder Hedges, and Mrs. Gaddis is indicted under the same charge.

    THE SUICIDE OF FRANK HEDGES
    CORONER SAYS MAN'S DEATH WAS CAUSED BY POISON

    Frank Hedges, who failed to kill self once, may have made a second trail.

    Frank Hedges, age 39, died yesterday afternoon at the home of his mother at 833 Washington Avenue. Death may have been due to a second dose of poison, taken after a physician had left him early Wed. morning, believing him out of danger from the effects of morphine taken Tuesday night. Dr. Samuel McCaughey, deputy coroner, who investigated the case, states that death was due to poison.

    Hedges first gave evidence of his intentions to kill himself on going to his mother's house, Tuesday night. He told his Mother that he wanted to die there. The words were not taken seriously by him until later when she found him in the rear of the dwelling unconscious. She sent for a physician and Dr. William Dow of Boggs Dispensary responded. Dr. Dow worked with the man during the entire night and believed him out of danger early Wednesday morning.

    Hedges' body was taken to Reynolds Undertaking rooms on West Maryland Street, where an autopsy was held last night. Today the contents of his stomach will be analyzed by Dr. McCaughey. Hedges was married and leaves a widow and a small child.

    Frank Hedges, thirty-nine years old, killed himself at the home of his mother at 833 Washington avenue, yesterday afternoon. The man took a dose of morphine Tuesday night, after declaring his intention of killing himself. Dr. Dow, of Bobbs’ Dispensary, worked with the man all night and prevented his death, but it is though Hedges took another dose while no one was watching him. Deputy Coroner Samuel McGaughey held an autopsy on the body, and found that poison caused the death. Hedges left a widow and a small child. Several years ago he was arrested during the investigation of the Wilhelm murder mystery, but he was not convicted.

    Fire Levels Home Jobless Man Built Himself; Climaxes Year of Bad Luck
    By Heze Clark, Times Staff Writer
    This is the first day that Ernest Hedges has broken into headlines.
    His home, at 803 Sadie-st, burned down, and the fire department made such a clatter going there that people wondered what had happened.
    Well, that’s about all there is to it, so far as Ernest Hedges is concerned. The oil stove exploded, and the two-room frame house he built with his own trained hands from lumber he salvaged burned to the ground.
    Two suits were burned, too, and in the pocket of one of them was “410, his total savings since last January and his only cash laid away against the coming winter.
    Two hundred cans of food he grew in his garden this summer and canned himself over that perfidious oil stove also exploded and were ruined. That was the food he had against the winter.
    Ernest Hedges is 37. He is the father of three children, two of whom are ill with tuberculosis in Sunnyside Sanatorium. The other, Robert, 4, lives next door at 823 Sadie-st with Mrs. Sarah Eaker, his grandmother.
    Mrs. Eaker is the mother of Mrs. Hedges who died of tuberculosis 10 months ago, after Ernest, a carpenter before the depression, had finally constructed the little house that burned today and had hoped that in it she would regain her health.
    Then Pearly, 5, and Joan, 2, became ill and were taken to the sanatorium. Then Ernest lost his FERA job and had to give up Robert.
    He has a horse and with that plowed the gardens, hauled ashes and did odd jobs and made enough money to support himself, and miraculously to save some.
    It was while he ws trying to catch the horse in the pasture today that the stove exploded and burned his home. Firemen save the home of the horse, a shed on the rear of the lot.
    While the ruins still smouldered, and lines of smoke wove through the crumpled steel bestead, Ernest hedges took a stoical look and went off to find a place to stay until –
    Well, no one thought to ask him until what?
