CASNA'S ASSASSIN
STILL AT LARGE
No Arrest in the Gallup Mur
der Case up to Four
O'clock This Afternoon.
MRS. CASNA'S CONDITION
Special to The Citizen.
Gallup, N. M., Sept, 28. The talk of
this town is the apparent cold-blooded
assassination of Andrew Ca-sna and
the cowardly shooting of Mrs. (asna,
which may yet result In her death.
The coroner's jury, at the inquest
held this morning, rendered a verdict
that the deceased came to his death
from a gunshot wound inflicted by a
party or parties unknown.
This afternoon the condition of Mrs.
Casna is considered serious, and,
while her attending physicians are do
ing all they can for her. it is feared
that the wound may end in death.
Sheriff Coddington is making some
strenuous investigations, and when ap
proached by your correspondent,
said:
"1 will probably have something for
you tomorrow."
It is now learned that Mrs. Casna,
after her husband had staggered bacK
into the house and expired, and 6he
had also been shot, fled with her chll
dren to the cellar and remained there
during the night. The next (Wlednes
day) morning she sent her 9-year-oid
son into town to inform the officers,
and half an hour later Sheriff Codding
ton, with a posse of deputies and sev
eral Navajo Indian trailers, were on
the ground.
The murderer or murderers had se
cured twelve hours the start, and up
to 4 o'clock this afternoon no arrests
had been made.
The people here are much divided
in opinion as to the cause of the mur
I der, the majority of them favoring the
iheory that robbery was the principal
leaauu, wuiiu a lew ueiieu mat tasna
was shot and killed out of revenge,
but cunuot give any good reason as
to wiiat caused the desire tor re
venge. ! Sheriff Coddington is working on
I the ca-so like a veteran, and it is iu-
timated that he has clues which will
bad to the arrest of the right party.

ousted official until tomorrow morning
to vacate, and if he does not do by 10
o'clock, the new sheriff will take pos

It is not thought that any violence

HUGHES-HE HAS FRENZIED IN
SURANCE FINANCIERS ON THE HIP
A CHARACTER SKETCH OF THE
MAN WHO IS MAKING THE Mc
CALLS AND PERKINSES TELL
ALL ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE
BEEN DOING WITH THE MONEY
OF POLICY HOLDERS.
New York, Sept. 28. Charles Ev
ans Hughes, lawyer, champion inquis
itor for the legislative committee,
which Is investigating the life Insur
ance companies, Is the most talked-of
man in New York this week.
In the aldermanic chamber of the
city hall a thousand men have crowd
ed in on days when he lias conducted
this inquisition. There is no mistak
ing the look on their faces. They all
look at Hughes. He is the center, and
wherever he moves their eyes follow.
A man of average height and build
as New York well-groomed lawyers go,
"ne would not be picked out on the
street. But .this aldermanic chamber,
with Its somber light and the tremen
dous play going on. Is the Ideal setting
for Hughes. He seems B feet, eight
inches, straight, thin and bony. Wear
ing a beard and mustache which con
ceal his lips but not his strong, white
teeth. Many think of the Roosevelt
teeth. When he speaks the crowd looks
at his teeth. They look away to his
deep-set. blue eyes, to his long, sharp,
inquisitorial nose a Greek nose, with
out the wide, delicate, sensitive nos
trils; to his high forehead a splen
did forehead, though not broad like
Daniel Webster's; and then they go
back and stare at his teeth.
All the while they 'hear his pleas
ing, wonderfully distinctive voice. It
is a tenor ;obusto voice, and no mouth
was ever better adapted to enunciate
Fnglish: the sibilants come grimly
from between the teeth; he does not
drop his R's. nor does he fall Into any
of the "untidy" habits of speech that
Henry James deplores.
Every movement of lips or head or
hands or holy speaks the power, the
utter confidence of the man in hlm
seir. They stare at him all day. He
fascinates them. They admit, after
the first moment, that Hughes Is the
master of this Immense situation, that
he knows exactly what he wants, and
he will get it out of McCall and Mo-
Curdy and Perkins and the rest of
them, If he has to drag it out with
his teeth.
He moves around continuously, yet
never does one think him nervous.
He Is the physical type of nervous
man, but hla manner is the antithesis
LIFE INSURANCE PROBING
STILL GOES VERY GAILY ON
Vice-President Perkins Does Not Want to Produce
Books of Morgan & Co. but Attorney
Hughes Requires Them.
New York, Sept. 28. George W.
Perkins, vice president of the New
York Life Insurance company, and a
member of the firm of J. P. Morgan &
Co., created a stir before the legisla
tive investigating committee today,
when he obejeted to the use of cer
tain books of the J. P. Morgan com
pany to explain Bome of that firm's
dealings with the New York Life com
pany. He said that he would furnish
copies of entries referring to the
transactions In question, but that he
preferred not to bring the books into
court. Mr. Hughes, counsel to the
committee, for the first time during
the investigation, showed sighs of
anger, and said, loudly: "I shall have
to require these books to be pio
dueed." "All right," replied Perkins.
GREAVES AND WINTHROP

New York, Sept. 28. Perry Greaves,

before the legislative committee to

There are great bundles of big bal

a careful search so far had failed to
disclose checks for 123,919, $21,900 and
172,795, profits In the various syndi
cate deals, which had been recorded
in the books of the Equitable society
but expert accountants are still search
