Lady Tries to Hold Trunk Down But

trunk, she sat upon it, and George
being the stronger OF the two, pulled it
from under her and an assault and
battery took place. George will be

Bowles Makes a Confession.

CHICAGO, July l4-Bowles, the man
IN the dynamite plot against the Burling-
ton road, against whom the testimony
given yesterday was conclusive, it is
stated, has made a full confession of his
part in the conspiracy. He said that in
his case there was little hope of escape
from conviction and early this morning it
was made known to District Attorney
Ewing that Bowles was ready to ''squeal."
Another Of the arrested men, Godding,
has, it is said, also concluded to come into
the camp and by noon to day all that he
knows about the plot against the Burling-
ton will be told. The case of Chairmen
Hoge and Murphy, which was to have
come up before Justice Lyon this morn
ing, was postponed for a week.
1t is understood that Bowles has told
the prosecution facts which will make the
conviction of Hoge certain. Chairman
Hoge, it would seem, is the man they are
really after, not only as a blow they wish
to strike at the brotherhood, but because
the road officials dislike him personally.
To the other defendants they are favora-
bly, disposed. The text of the ''sdueal'
was not made public. but it was important
enough to necessitate the postponment of
the case before the federal court as well
as in the state tribunal. 1t is certain that
when the jail prisoners, Bowles, Wilson
and Broderick were brought over from
Jail this morning to the marshal's Office
that Bowles sent word he wanted to see
the district attorney. He was taken to
Ewing's office and there confessed to
General Manager Stone. Inspector Bon
field and Attorney Collier.
The only direct intimation of the sub
stance of the confession was a well de-
fined rumor that a United States warrant
had been issued for the arrest of Hoge,
who ls-out on 81, 500 bonds, under a CON
spiracy charge brought under the state
law.
The. crowd waiting in the federal court
room was large and chiefly composed of
brotherhood men whose looks of sympathy
cast OF the prisoners as they were brought
in indicated their appreciation of the
danger their comrades were in.
A sensational scene ensued when the
brotherhood's attorneys, Donohue and
David, protested loudly that they had
been treated with great unfairness and
given no show from the very outset OF the
trial. Lawyer David holly denounced
Commissioner Hoyne. declaring:
I'VE could expect nothing else from
this court, aud have received nothing
else"
The commissioner ordered David to be
arrested by the marshal, but the latter
did not at once comply, and David subse
quently made a Picwickian apology to the
court. Bail was fixed at $4,000 for
Bowles, but he preferred to remain in
custody.
After the court adjourned the hereto
fore prisoner, Wilson, savagely denounced
Bowles, ridiculing that the latter was in
nocent and exclaiming, THE chicken
hearted He has laid down"

FLED FOR HER LIFE.
The Remarkable Story Told by
Mrs. Rutter.
Experiences Among
th9 Mormons.
Enthusiastic Democratic Meet
ing at Indianapolis.
Fleeing for Her LLlfe.

CHICAGO, July l4.-A pale faced little
woman giving her name as Elizabeth
Iurnbull Rutter, formerly of North
Shields, England, was picked up on the
street today apparently fainting from
hunger. She claimed to have had moth
ing to eat on her four days trip from
Ogden, Utah, to Chicago, en- route to her
old home in England. She told a terrible
story of her experiences among the Nor
mons. Her young son, she stated, had
been induced against the wishes Of his
parents to Join a party of emigrants or
ganized by Mormon missionaries In Eng
land.
Not hearing from her boy. who it was
afterward learned had been prevented by
the elders from writing, his father, fran
tic with anxiety, followed to Utah. He
found employment with a Mormon farm
er named Jas. Holbert, but was unable to
save enough to help continue the search
until pretending TO Join the church. Then
Rutler got some money and sent some to
her, but all OF his letters telling of the
true condition of affairs in Utah were
stricken out and others substituted, urg-
ing her to come to Utah with the mission
aries.
She obeyed, and claims that the women
in the party were subjected to fearful in
dignitles en- route by the elders. Rutter
was murdered shortly after she Joined
him. He had inadvertently given a young
Norman an inkling of his plans to find
his boy and escape with his wife. The
Mormons asserted that Rutter's death
was accidental. She was defrauded of
her husbands savings, but fleeing to 0g-
den earned enough money in working in
hotels to pay her passage home. The
amount of the railroad fare was larger
than she expected, and sooner than delay
longer she had deprived herself of food
IN the long Journey to Chicago.
