DIABOLICAI WORK.
Man and Wife Kill and Dispose of an
Adopted Child.

ELDoRADo. Kansas - Last Tuesday
a farmer named BIoomer placed ayoung
child in the care Of Mr. and Mrs
Edwards for few hours When they re-
turned the child was missing and no trace
could be found After a vigorous
search the Boomers made up their mind
that Mrs. Edwards knew more of the mat
ter and charged her with numbering the
child. She denied it when the neighbors
placed a rope around her neck and told her
that, unless she confessed, she would be
hanged As she was about to be pulled up
she confessed that during a 6t of anger at
some childish disobedience she killed the
little one and gave the body
to her husband to dispose of it.
The husband denied completely in
the crime. and when strmgup confessed
that he had seen his wife herself carry the
dead body to the creek and dispose of it.
Search is being made by the neighbors
and if the story 5 verified both Of the Ed
wards will undoubtedly he lynched.

WORK ON THE CRONIN CASE.
Woodruff and Kunze Ask that They be
Discharged.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The work of i'm
paneling a jury in the Cronin case was
resumed this afternoon. At the opening
of court Judge Mcconnell rendered his
decision in the application of Woodruff
for his discharge from custody. The
ground on which the application was
based was that the statutory limit within
which he was entitled to trial had
passed. The court held that the ground
stated was insufficient and denied the
motion.
During the reading of the courts decis-
ion In the Woodruff case the prisoner
kunze was very much excited Several
times he tried to rise but was kept back by
his attorney Forest. When the Judge had
concluded he got up and in spite of his at
torney began to speak; Il want to speak
in my own interest, persisted he,
Judge Longnecker told me | should lose
nothing if | was innocent ! want him to
tell for what he keeps me in jail yet -
Il am considering your matter now,
said the court kindly, and Kunze sat
down.
No additional jurors were secured to-
day.
