gress held that the president had not
this right when dealing with newly Gre
ted offices which have never been filled
before, yet there is ample authority for
his making the appointments If be- de-
sires. This question arose In connection
with the appointment Of Judge Las.

the subject, quoted decision OF Attorney

a BALD FAKE.
Tale of Murder Most Foui." which
Never Was Committed.

Mondays St Louis Giobe- Democrat In
It's batch OF crime news, contained a story
from Tacoma, Wash, which Is interest
ing 10 local readers from the fact that
the scene OF the tale il laid In Sioux city,
and that IL was wildly improbable, and
even impossible, in every detail
IL was, In brief, a. follows A ply
slcian OF Tacoma, was, some time ago,
called 10 the deathbed OF man named
Lars Peterson. who wished ~ make a
'deathbed confession"
In 1855, he said, he had worked In the
Sllberhorn packing house i'm this city.
While cleaning the floor In the killing
room one night he had killed a fellow
workman named Lars Harstrum. stab
ping him with a large knife. He had
put the body with the carcasses of hogs
killed that day, and the next morning
e#t it iH pieces, packed them with salt.
and ran them to the freezing room with
the pork. He burned the clothes In the
furnace
This Is story which for publication
ought TO have been reserved until
April l.
In the first place, the Silberhoru peo-
pie, on reference to their time books. say
no such men ever worked there There
Is Peterson In their employ still, but
nc ts not the bloody murderer
From five 20 dozen men work on the
night shift together, cleaning the floors
and man could not be- secretly mar
dered In the killing room at night
Anyone who knows anything about the
process OF pork packing will recognize
the absurdity OF the rest OF the tale. Its
revolving details are needlessly horrible
~. In the relation. Peterson could not
have hidden the body among the thou
sands Of others killed that day" He
could not have "cut the body up the
next morning." nor covered il with
salt, nor run IL to the freezing rooms
without detection. He would have no
access 10 the furnace room. nor could he
have burned the clothes without dis
coyery.
III y hardly necessary 10 add that the
parts OF ,hnmss47body In no way resem-
bic pork, and could not be- packed as
$50 such
The whole thing Is either a story made
up OF whole cloth. or the man who calls
himself Peterson. having grudge
against companion, allowed the matter
To prey on his mind until he imagined
this crime In its horrible details
This is the only reasonable expIana.
