A Sensation in the Hillmon Case.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-. May 1.-The Republic
of this city has New York correspondent
who sends to that paper the following:
John w. Hillmon, the hero and chief
conspirator of the famous "Hillmon insur-
ance swindle" of Kansas, has been found.
For fifteen years his relatives have been try
ing In the courts to prove him dead In or
der to collect about SAC, 900 insurance on his
life. During all these years the insurance
companies holding the policies have re-
sisted the claim on the ground of fraud and
conspiracy, alleging that Hillmon was not
dead at all.
The face value of the policies has moro
than been consumed in the costs of litiga-
ton and the case has come to rank as one
OF the most remarkable and romantic in the
history of life insurance frauds. The insur-
ancC Vas written in Kansas and all the liti-
cation has been carried on in that state, but
the companies concerned are all located
IN the east and the contest has been directed
from this city.
The first intimatiou that the fraud had
been finally traced was obtained from
Charlton L. Lewis, attorney for the Mutual
Life Insurancetcompany of this city, which,
with the New York Life and the Connecti-
cut Mutual Life Insurance companies, car
rled the $4,000 taken out by Hillmon on
his life In 1873.
we have at last found Hlllmon alive and
we'll, said Mr.. Lewis speaking of the case,
land know exactly where to lay our hands
on him. After a search extending over
fifteen years, he has been finally traced to
the Pacific coast and he made clean breast
of the whole affair."
Mr.. Lewis said that in Hillmou's confess
sion he implicated q score of persons in
terested in the case, and that wholesale per-
jury and other crimes will be proven against
the conspirators when the prosecution against
them is begun

Creates Vacancy on Contest.

TOPEKA, May 15.-Attorney General Little
delivered an opinion in reference to the
Douglass election Law. Neither the mayor
or any of the members of the city council of
Coffeyville has complied with the law in
reference to the filing of statements of their
election expenses with the county clerk, but
give as their reasons for the neglect, the
fact that they were waiting for the official
count to see who was elected; their seats are
not contested, but they want to know if they
can legally hold their offices, as the city Is
just now having extensive Improvements
made and the legality of the acts of the coun-
ell will be necessary N the interest of the
tax payers of the city.
The attorney general gave it as his opin-
ion that any officer who failed to file his
statement of election expenses as required
by law, within thirty days, can be removed
if his seat Is contested, and any person may
file a contest for the purpose of removing
the official. The vacancy can only be filed
by a special election.
