Ingr there, or even pass the time of
night -With him?" was the coroner's next
question.
"No, I didn't. I thought that the beet
place for me was in the house. I
thought if he had any business with me
he would come there. It was almost
8:30 o'clock at night. I was about
eight feet from him when I saw him
in the barn. He was medium sized."
Haner said he saw the man the first
time . probably two weeks before the
tragedy.
- "I was walking north up the alley
back of my barn. I saw a man ahead
of me. I guess he thought I was going
to overtake him and he stepped into
my barn right ahead of me. He Just
stepped into the dark and I passed him.
I looked around after I passed -the barn.
I looked back to. see if he was following
me."
"Do you mean to sav that vou were
that close to that man and didn't know ,
who he was?" Mr. Anderson said.
"No, sir, I didn't know him. He was
a medium sized man. I think it was
the same man I saw both times."
Didn't Know It Was Whitlow.
"Was it Sam Whitlow?" a juror ask
ed. "I don't know."
"Did you ever see Miss Sapp out in
the yard in the evening?" asked An
derson, deputy county attorney.
'Yes; once I was washing for sup
per. It wasn't dark, when I heard a
voice. I looked out and saw Miss
sapp north of their house. She was
making gestures - with her hands and
talking. I couldn't see anyone else.
She -wasn't talking loud enough for
me to hear her words. She walked up
ana aown and clapped her hands.
"Did you notice which way she was
going 7" a suror asked.
"Yes; she walked east and stopped
, wnen sne clapped her .hands. '
"You didn't see any person there
she was addressing?" was asked.
"No, sir; I couldn't see anyone. Her
voice didn't sound angry, but very
earnest. It seemed to me that she
was talking to herself. . I never spoke
about the occurrence to anyone ex
cept my wife until the day after ' the
tragedy."
Xo Other Queer Actions.
Haner said he had never noticed
any other actions upon Miss Sapp's
part that would indicate she was pe
culiar. He said he knew both Miss
Sapp and Whitlow, but had never
seen them together. He said he had
never heard any signals about the
Sapp place and never saw a man talk-?
ing to Miss Sapp. He said he had nev
er heard anything concerning Miss
Sapp except that she was & gentle
woman. . K. e.- Hagenbuch, an undertaker of
Iola", told of seeing the body of Miss
Sapp after her aeatn. ie saia inai
ha found a large bruise on her
shoulder and the cuts on her throat
and hands.
"The cuts on the throat," he said
were made by two incisions. There
vm. another little cut, just a scratch
In front. One finger on the - right
hand was cut and the thumb and two
fir-ot flnipra on the left hand were also
cut. The cuts on the fingers were not
straight in. They seemed to nave
been made at an angle.-
.."I found her undergarment was
torn in two places. The tears were
eight or ten inches long, near togeth
r. They seemed to have been fresh
Whitlow was brought from the jail
to testify again. In passing tnrougn me
office corridor he met his wife for a
moment, the first time they have eeen
each other since the officers brought
him to Iola Monday night.
"I want to see you, papa." she said
in the presence of an officer who came
between them. "I suppose I will have
to go to the jail after you get through.
"Yes, I guess there is no other way
now," Whitlow said dejectedly. Before
they could say anything further Whit
low was called into the Jury room. For
three hours the Jury and the lawyers
asked him questions. Every possible de
tail was repeatedly gone over. He an
swered every question quickly, taking
no time to think of its possible effect.
He talked freely, apparently, of the cir
cumstances that were against him as
he did of those which pointed more
etrongly to his innocence.
He testified that on the night of the
tragedy Miss Sapp pulled a razor from
her shirtwaist and slashed her throat
with it. In spite of the statement of a
Jurer to him that such a thing was im
possible because her dress opened in
the back. Whitlow said the fact never
v.iea was true. The county attorney
said almost every juror took a hand In.
questioning mm dui ne never variea
from the original story.
Whitlow wrote two statements of his
connection with Miss Sapp and gave
them to Ms wife. . One of these state
ments is missing. Mrs. Whitlow said
she read the first statement carefully.
She put it in a drawer and one day
when she went to look for it it was
recalling hie early training, the death
of his mother when he was young, his
early struggle for an education, his
earnest desire to lead a Christian life,
the scandal which attached to his name
when he taught school and the injus
tice of the accusations then made
against him.
"Ten years I have worked hard,
walked circumspectly, to live down that
unjust suspicion, and now that I have
about done it there comes up this other
trouble, which is equally untrue," he
said. "But circumstances are against
me in this, and I must face it alone.
I leave this statement of the exact facts
that my wife and my children may go
out intp the world, if anything happens
to me, without the fear of the con
tempt and scorn of the world."
Said Samuel Whitlow today: "I sup
pose I'll go to prison, but I know I'm
innocent. I shall not spend any money
on lawyers. I'll leave my home and
what I have for my family. They will
know that I'm innocent."
Rev. Walter F. Wharton, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal , church at
Moran, visited Whitlow in' jail. Whit
low has been a prominent worker in
that church.

The Investigation of Superintendent
E. E. Marshall of the Hutchinson re
formatory will be renewed, it is an
nounced, about the end of the present
month. Notice to this effect was sent
to Chairman J. S. Simmons of the
board today by Governor Hoch. The
delay Is occasioned, it is said, by the
failure of the stenographer ' to

It is believed by some that the in

that Superintendent Marshall 'may re

WHAT IS SUNDAY LABOR?
Mr. Drennlng Thinks Theaters Violate
the Labor Laws.
The Sunday closing of theaters will
come before the judiciary committee
of the council on Monday evening at
7:30 instead of Tuesday as first ar
ranged. The officers of all of the young peo
ple's religious societies which protest
ed against permitting the theaters to
remain open on the first day of the
week as well as the theater managers
have been notified and will be present
in force.
"Is the selling of tickets and the
managing of a theater labor within
the meaning of the Sunday labor
law?" Is the query which F. G. Dren
ning, city attorney answers in the af
firmative in a carefully prepared opin
ion which will be presented to the
judiciary committee. He may carry
the proposition still, farther and have
all soda fountains, candy, drug, and
cigar stores closed on Sundays. It
may also reach the hotels.

Denver, Oct. 11. Kemp V. Blglow,
the young clerk from Farmer. O.. who
mailed dynamite packages last Monday
to ijrovernor ienry A. Buchtel and sev
eral other prominent citizens of. Den
ver, has confessed that he was also the
author of letters mailed on August 29
last to the Burlington railroad, the Mof
fat road, the Adams Express company,
the Daniels & Fisher Stores company,
the May Shoe and Clothing comsany
and to Postmaster Paul Sours, demand
ing amounts varying from $10,000 to
$50,000 and aggregating $190,000.
xnese letters contained threats that
unless the demands were complied with
passenger trains would be wrecked with
dynamite, and the Daniels & Fisher
and May stores, and the federal build
ing in this city would be blown up and
C. M. Day. local agent of the Adams
Express company, would be killed with
in 30 days.
Biglow's confession was made to
Chief of Police Michael Delaney in the
presence of Mr. Day and John F. Val-
lery, general agent of the Burlington
railroad in Denver.
The letter to the Burlington railroad
follows :
"Denver, Aug. 28, 1907.
"Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail
road. "Gentlemen: We demand that your
company place with the Adams Ex
press company September 7. $50,000.
same to be put in one of their envel
opes, marked T. T. D. M. G., and they
put it off at the stock yards that day.
We mean business and if it is not done
as we say, one of your best trains will
be blown up with Nitro G ..
"Remember the 7th of September. .
' "D. M. G.
"Denver M. R. H. M." i-
The other letters were similar. Mr.
Day was namM In all of tliem as the
man to whom the .money .was to be
paid, and upon whom was placed the
responsibility of delivering it to the
unknown writer. The letters contained
instructions for placing a different mark
upon each package and demanded that
they should be- put in one bundle and
thrown from a certain: Burlington train
as it passed the Denver stock yards on
the night of September 7.
A dummy package was made up and
thrown off the train, as directed. De
tectives were in hiding near the spot
designated for leaving the package of
money and kept up a vigil all night, but
nobody appeared, and next morning the
package was returned to Agent Day.
Suspicion was directed to Blglow by
the similarity between the handwriting
in the threatening letters and the ad
dresses on the infernal machines mail
ed this week to Governor Buchtel and
others. At first Biglow denied the ac
cusation that he wrote the blackmailing
letters, but he finally hroke down and
confessed. He will be turned over to
the federal authorities and prosecuted
on the charge of using the mails to defraud.
Grant Harrington of Hiawatha was
in Topeka yesterday on insurance
for the Democrats for -1908 he said: -"I
am for George Hodges for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
because I believe that Col. Harris is
in earnest when he says that under no
circumstances "will he consent to be a
candidate. If Harris would accept
the nomination, it would be given to
him, but the fact is that Harris does
not want to be governor of Kansas. He
consented to run last year because he
did not think there was any show. of
I being elected. : He would decline to
run next year because he Is afraid he
might be elected. ' Col. Harris knows
that the chances .of .Democratic, sue-
cess in Kansas next year, especially if
Bryan is the nominee for president,
are very good. Harris does not want
to.be governor.
"I am opposed to this talk of nomi
nating A. M. Jackson. Jackson is a
brilliant speaker, and a shrewd poll
tician, but the Democratic party can
not afford to take chances on giving
him the nomination. He is not a safe
man to propose as the party's icandi-
date.
"George H. Hodges, the state sena
tor from Johnson county, has told me
that he would not be a candidate for
governor. He says that he thinks he
can be re-elected to the senate from
Johnson county, and he prefers to
continue his membership in that body.
However, I believe that- if Senator
Hodges sees that it is his duty to ac
cept the call of his party, he will lay
aside nis personal wishes, and become
our candidate. I am in favor of draft
ing him."

Down in Sedgwick county, the David
son boom for the Republican nomina
tion for governor is getting a goodstait.
and the county promises to make a ser
ious fight for his nomination. The Sedg
wick County Young Men's Republican
club, with 1,800 members, held a meeting
a few nights ago, and endorsed Mr.
Davidson with- the following resolution:
Whereas, The time is 'now close at
hand when the Republicans of the state
of Kansas In., convention assembled, will
select their standard bearers for the
campaign of 1908, the officers who are
to serve our great state for the ensuing
two years, and, -
Whereas. It is the earnest desire of
the members of this league that a.can
diate for governor be chosen who will
command the loye.l support of his party
and the sincere respect of all citizens of
the state: and",1
"Whereas, This county has in the per
son of the Hon. C. L Davidson, a man
who, by reason, ,)f his personal integrity
and -political standing, fairly and fully
meets the requirements of the situation;
a man tried and truewho has faithful

ties of the positions of' responsibility to
which he has been chosen; therefore, be

members."
Ex-Governor; Stanley said that Mr.
Davidson would make an ideal gover
nor While Mr. Davidson was not a
professional politician, yet this fact
woo nil the more in his favor. His
reputation as a clean man and his ex
ecutive ability were unquestioned. Mr.
Stanley was confident that the club's
endorsement of Mr. Davidson would be
a great help and pleasure to him.
Senator Stewart, who was a member
of the last legislature of which Mr.
Davidson was also a member.was called
for Mr. Stewart spoke very highly of
the legislative ability of Mr. Davidson.
He had looked after the interests of all
of he state1 "and especially those of
Sedgwick county. Mr. Stewart said that
he knew that Mr. Davidson was on the
right side of all puonc questions mat
came up in the legislature; thai he had
argued for the enactment of just and
equitable lawsr and used -his. influence
and vote in securing the same.
Mr Davidson was the author of the
tax commission bill which was passed
by the last legislature. This was con
ceded by all-the politicians to be one
of the most important bills passed by
the last legislature. . - -

is getting around the proposition
through technicalities. Consequently
the Roswell Commercial club is going
to take up the crusade again in earnest
and see to it that the railway company
can not dodge the issue. Through
pversi-'hts on the part of the men who
signed the -petition to the commerce
commission, and defects in the order is
sued, the people have been up against
freight rates but little more reasonable
than of old.' The people, however, are

Kansas City Live Stock Sales Today.
The following sales were made today at
the stock yards, Kansas City, , Mo., and
They will not stop until Roswell has as
fair a freight rate as otner localities.
Examples of the dodging that is be
ing done by the railroad are: First, in
the case of Chicago, as a shipping
point. The commission did not make
a specific rate from this point, leaving
it for the railroad to make a propor
tionate rate. While the railroad did
make a slight reduction from Chicago,
they are still charging more, per mile,
from Chicago than other points. Sec
ond, in the case of Galveston, as a
shipping point. The commission's find
ing was for a big reduction on lumber
from .Beaumont. . It meant, undoubt
edly, the Beaumont district, for very
little lumber is started out of Beau
mont, as an original shipping point.
But the railroad interprets the report
literally, and grants the reduction
from the town of Beaumont alone. On
account of this technical mistake the
lumber dealers in the Beaumont dis
trict can ship only small quantities of
lumber to Roswell on . the new rate.
