jng This information, amplifying re-
ar. ports last night from Chihuahua, was
received here today at the headquar
ters of the railroad It corrects last
f. night's statement that it was the
Drake tunnel, a smaller bore south
of Cumbre, that was destroyed. The
') Cumbre tunnel is the largest on the
'njor road, 0700 feet long, and required
1- eighteen months to construct.
pSj The names of the prisoners report
er cd here are:
M. J, Gilmartin, superintendent of
- the road-
" H. Schoefield, superintendent of
Mi terminals at Juarez
Lee Williams, assistant manager of
c I the railway commissary.
E. J McCutcheon, engineer of the
ain, passenger- train.
; J. E. Webster, conductor.
H. F. Marders, express agent
A seventh American is believed to
have been on this train, and Amer-
icans were also employed on the
freight traiu which was used to fire
the tunnel.
General Francisco Villa, command
er of the rebel forces, and now at
I Chihuahua, was enraged at the news
and in a telegram which passed
i through here today instructed Gen
eral Felipe Macias, operating in the
Ca6as Grande district, to shoot ev
ery man who could not satisfactorily
L account for his presence there.
The bandits are believed to be op
erating In two forces of about thirty
men each, as Cumbre is a hard day's
ride from El Valle, near Casas Gran
des, where twenty-two of the robbers
were captured and shot last Tues
day. The other detachment believed to
be under Castillo himself, did the
wrecking, probably in revenge for
the fate of his men at El Valle He
captured a train if stock cars Wed
nesday and ran it into the tunnel
where it was set on fire.
The tunnel was a blazing mass that
evening when the passenger train
from Juarez was captured and sent
I, headlong into the roaring furnace
which was belching flame and smoke
from its mouth
mm Castillo then burned two neighbor
ing bridges, one of them constructed
of steel, and ran two locomotives I
nover the embankment into the deep
canyon below.

SCHMIDT TO BE
GIVEN SENTENCE
Content With Verdict De
clines to Permit Counsel to
Appeal Case.
SEES END WITH RELIEF
Priest's Murder of Anna Au
muller Most Horrible in
Crime History of
New York.
I
New York, Feb. 6 Hans Schmidt,
who was found guilty of murder in the
first decree for killing Anna Aumul
ler. is seeratnslv content, with the !
verdict and declines to permit his ;
counsel to appeal. Next Wednesday
Schmidt will he sentenced to die in
hp electric chair.
The verdict against Schmidt was
rendered late yesterday, a little more
than two hours after the Jurv had re
tired. It seemed a great relief to the
former priest who sat through the
twelve days of the trial as if in a
! daze and was blankly staring at the
court room wall when his bent Figure
suddenly straightened, a light came
into his ryes and he smiled.
Prepared for Verdict.
Schmidt seemed to have prepared
for the verdict. Since his arrest on
September 14, he has refused to be
shaved or have his hair cut.
The murder of Anna Aumuller was
one of the most horrible in the crime
historv of the city. Schmidt was a
priest attached to St. Joseph's church
when he took the girl to a flat he had
fitted up. He confessed that on the
morning of September 2 last, he went
to the house about midnight and while
she slept, cut her throat and then
dismembered her body, cutting it intu
nine parts. These he disposed of hv
throwing them into the Hudson river.
GIRLS ARE CAUGHT II
Jl ROOMING HOUSE
Br THE POLICE
A sensational case, involving two
young girls who had strayed from the
straight path, was tried before Judge
William H. Reeder in the municipal
court this morning. The offenders
were C. E. Clark. George Bennett. Fav
Buckway and Hilda Bird, all of whom
were charged with lewd and lascivi
ous conduct
The four were arrested between 3
and 4 o'clock this morning in the Ox
ford rooming house on Hudson ave
nue by Sergeant H. C Peterson and
Officer William Brown The offi
cers had received information that the
couples had gone to the rooming
house and followed Clark and the
Bird girl were caught in one room
at about 3:30 a m to which the of
fleers were refused entrance. Ser
geant Peterson later took the two
to the station and left Brown to pre
vent the escape of the other couple
hile waiting for the return of Ser
geant Peterson Brown heard a sus
picious nois? and fearing that Ben
nett and the other girl were trying
to get out by another entrance, he
forced his way In and caught the girl
as she was getting out of the window
The man did not try to escape
At the station, the men tried hard
to get themselves and companions re
leased on ball, but acting on previous
instructions from Chief Norton as to
proceedure in such cases, ball was re
fused and the quartette locked up.
At the trial this morning, all four
pleaded guilty and the stories told,
with additional information secured
through questioning by Judge Reeder
and City Attorney David Cook: were
as follows:
Clark said that he was a married
man from Oakland. California, that
he had met Bennett in Pocatello and
that they had come to Ogden, arriv
ing here last Monday. He was en
route to the eastern states to visit,
relatives and stopped over iu Ogden
just to look around a little. About 9
o'clock last night he and Bennett had
gone into the Two Johns restaurant,
on Twenty fifth street for supper
While they were waiting, the two
girls entered the restaurant with a
man. He glanced around and the
man motioned to him and his com
panions to come over to the fable '
where he was sitting with the girls. I
They accepted 1he invitation and were
Introduced to the girls and. after
having a few drinks the man left, and
Bennett, the two girls, and himself
had another drink or two and then
the four went to the Oxford rooming
house where they registered as man
and wife
Questioning by Attorney Cook
brought out the fact that the liquor
which had been drunk at the restaur
ant was bought after 9 o'clock, Clark
slating that It was between 9:30 and
10 o'clock.
Bennett s story was about the same,
except that he i a single man and
bis home is in Logan, Utah. His first
testimony about the time the liquor
was bought at first coincided with
that of Clark, but he aald later that
when they asked if they could get
liquor the waiter said that he would
have to hurry as it was about closing
time and that when the waiter re
turned with it, it was four minutes
after 9. He said, however, that they
paid for the liquor about 10 o'clock,
Just, before they left the restaurant
also that they took six bottles of

NOTORIOUS "DEATH CORNER" IN CHICAGO SCENE OF MANY CRIMEsJ
"Death Corner," Oak and Milton streets, Chicago.
Bloody "Death Corner," in the heart of Chicago's "Little Italy," notorious as the scene of nearly a score
of murders, bomb outrages and blackhand crimes in nie last year and a half, claimed two more victims last
Friday. The victim.; were Sicilians, said to be leaders of the Mafia. The instrument invariably used at
"Death Corner" is a sawed-off shotgun. Most of the death.6 remain unsolved by the police, but revenge was
gonerally credited as the motive.
beer with them to the rooming house
While the stories of Clark and
Bennett were being told, the twe
girls were giggling and laughing aiv
seemed not at all nonplussed about
the position they were in and theh
demeanor was the same during th
time they were on the stand.
The Buckwav girl was I rnnk ir:
giving her statement and said that
she was 18 years old. her home was In
Ogden. that she had been wayward
about a year. She said that she anci
her companion had been in Pocatellc
for the past five weeks and had conic
to Ogden last Sunday night.
She said also that she had had a
room in the Oxford rooming house
on other nights but that she had reg
istered for herself.
The Bird girl said that she was
from Reese, Utah and would not talk
much She has been known to the
officers for some time, having for
feited bail once on a similar charge
and having been sent to her home by
Chief Norton on another occasion af
ter promising to reform, She was
reminded of these cases by Judge
Reeder but said that she could not
remember anything about them
All four were then questioned as
to the man whom they claimed had j
introduced them. Clark and Bennett
said that they had never seen him
until last night and held strongly to
that statement. The Bird girl said
that she had met him last summer, j
but had not seen him since then, un-
til last night and that she would not
know him if she saw him again. The
Buckway girl said that she knew him
well and had seen him a number of
times lately. Both girls said that
they did not know his name
The fact that the four had arrived
in Ogden from Pocatello at about
the same time, was deemed by both
the city attorney and Judge Reeder
to be a phase of the case that was
worthy of further investigation, inas
much as the grand jury, which is now
sitting in Pocatello, ordered the
houses of ill-fame iu that city closed
last Saturday. The matter of the
purchase of the liquor after 9 o'clock
will also be looked into.
Judge Reeder took the case under
advisement.

a five day sentence He was begging
when arrested by Detective Bob Burk
yesterday afternoon. The court was
then adjourned.

DISARMING THE WARRING
MINERS IN WEST VIRGINIA
Colliers. W Va. Feb. 6. Aroused
by complaints of citizens who fear
open warfare between striking miners
and contract men at the mines of
the West Virginia and Pittsburg Coal
company here, peace officers oi
Brooke county today sought a plan
by which the men could be disarmed.
The officers say that many men are
armed with high powered rifles, but
as they do not take them off the
property they have rented or owned,
they cannot be held by the gun carry
Ing law.
The strike has been on Blnce last
November and a number of "battles'
have been fought between strikers
and contract men.
GUARDING AGIST A
FLOOD WHEN THE
THAW GOMES
Commissioner Chris Flygare super
intendent of streets, today placed a
force of men and teams at work along
Ogden i her to enlarge the levees and
otherwise re-enforce the banks of the
stream against an overflow In high
water time, which he thinks is sure
to come this year.
This action is hjng taken, Mr. Fly
gare 6ays, in response to petitions
from property owners for the protec
tions of their landed interests and a
suggestion in a Standard editorial to
the effect that timely precaution
should be taken against flood waters, j
It is the commissioner's opinion, too,'
that $10 spent in repairing and im
proving the levees at this time will
get greater results than $100 after
the flood waters appear, hence he
"takes time by the forelock. '
Teams are at work changing the
channel of the river at a point im
I mediately west of Glenwood park
i which will carry the waters to the
south bank of the river near the east
end of Seventeenth street, near the
old mill site. With the water flow
ing to the south bank, Mr Flygare
says, the building of a high embank
ment on the north side will be ob
viated and the river channel will eas
llv carry all the flood waters Other
work is being done In raising the
levees along the banks of the river
west of the Washington avenue bridge
and in the vicinity of Lincoln avenue
and Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets.
The new channel near Glenwood
park will be about 800 feet long but
It will be easily made as it is along
an old channel composed of gravel
which will not be difficult to handle,
even though there is considerable
frost la the grouiel
The commissioner says that the en
tire job, both east and west of the
bridge, can be completed in the
course of a week or ten days.
