almighty dollar.
Manchester admitted yesterday after
noon that many OF his men did not stay
with him more than ~ hours and that he
had hired several Portuguese, among half
a dozen other nationalities. One of these
Portuguese, John by name, worked out
his time and was to have returned this
season, but was implicated in the robbing
OF Charles Franks store and skipped the
town.
Manchester has habit OF paying his
men on a sliding scale, whatever he thinks
they are worth; not what they estimate
their efforts should be. Man chester says
that barring the fact that some of his men
left him because he would not pay them
more, he never had trouble with any of
them.
Manchester was married twice, the MUIR

wife, He does not live with his present
wife, and short time ago endeavored to
secure divorce, but the case was dis
missed by the court. He contributes a

BIG PENSION FRAUDS
Unearthed in Northern
Iowa and Minnesota.
MAYOR UNDER ARREST.
Over Million Dollars Obtained for
Parties by the Former.

MINNEAPoLIs, June 1.-The Journai
prints a sensational article on the unearth-
ing Of stupendous pension frauds in north
ern Iowa and southern Minnesota.
The Investigation has been carried on by
Special Pension Examiner Waite On
May 22, George NJ. Van Leuven, Jr.,
pension attorney, who has been in the bust
ness since 1865 in Lime Springs, Ia, and
who has secured pensions for persons In
the territory mentioned aggregating, it Is
said, over sl,000,000, and DIR. George
Kessel, mayor OF Cresco, Ia, were arrested
on warrents sworn out by Waite In Du-
buque. Each gave bonds and was re-
leased.
Van Leuven and his son and other adj
herents controlled the news correspond
ents in the two towns, so they were able
to prevent any account of the affair from
being made public.
Waite and Van Leuven had almost a
personal encounter i'm the latter's office,
when the examiner got hold of certain i'm
portant files by force. Van Leuven de-
clares that the official exceeded his pow
ers, and threatens to institute suit on this
ground.
The particular case on which the arrest
was made was that of James Churchill of
Minneapolis Ii is charged that the names
Of witnesses on his papers are forged. Van
Leuven claims that the applicant, and not
he, was responsible for the forgeries. 1t Is
alleged that Van Leuven gave a pension
applicant a letter to DIR. Kessel, saying
that the bearer was seeking pension and
asking the doctor to do what he could for
him. 1t Is understood that the govern
ment Is prepared to show that similar
frauds have been perpetrated on big
scale for years
The marble room Of the German section
In the fine arts building was open for in
spection yesterday afternoon. The room
is filled with beautiful works of art in
Italian marble. The works were much
admired by the invited guests, and the

pERTHA MAY MANCHESTER.

At a late hour no arrests had been made,
and the police were apparently at sea, In
spite of the fact that the officers have a
well-grounded theory which requires time
to prove. What this theory Is reiuains
locked in the breasts of two or three men
who feel that they have no right to cast a
cloud upon anyone until each vital point
of evidence has been fully substantiated-
The house generally was not disturbed,
only the rooms of daughter and father be-
ing overturned. In the latter only the
bed was in disorder. 90 there Is doubt
whether the couch had not been made for
lack of time by the murdered girl, or
whether attempt was made to give ap-
pearance that the old mans bed had been
searched for valuables.
The holiday and hour seem to indicate
that the affair was planned with knowl-
edge of surroundings. Nobody knows
just when the deed was done, but circum-
stances point to an early morning hour,
which gave the murderer many miles OF
start before the police learned of the
bloody story.
Naturally the public connects the case
with the Borden tragedy, and unless some
clue is speedily found, this later tragedy
will be brought to bear upon the famous
double crime Yet their is seemingly no
ConutCIlOu DtlWetn Jue Two, DtyOuu tuo
influence that the former deed may have
had upon the later perpetrators.
Many points of resemblance are to be
traced. Both crimes were committed with
an axe, In the most brutal fashion, both
during daylight, and both occurred in
families where chill penury In the midst
of plenty froze the current Of life and
made the prospect drear.
In the meantime holes have been bored
in the kitcheS floor that the crimson pool
might trickle to earth, the old farm house
is under guard and justice moves uneasily
about waiting to be appeased.
Tho Murdered Girls Father.
Stephen G. Manchester, the father of the
murdered girl, Is the observed of all OBJ
servers. He Is curious combination Of
the hard-fsted farmer and nerve blunted
sailor a man as devoid of sentiment as q
Fiji islander. his only god glittering gold.
He went about his farm duties yester-
day as IL nothing had happened, not for
getting the smallest detail and his sorrow
expressed was at the delay he had met
through the horrible crime, with scarcely
word for the girl who had been ruthlessly
slaug entered

EVIDENCE OF ASSAULT.
Sketch Of Stephen Manchester and His

FALL LIVER, Mass, June Miss Ber-
tha Manchester's assassination thrills
the community with horror. Medical Ex-
aminer Dolan conducted the autopsy yes
terday afternoon. He examined the mu
tilated remains of Miss Manchester with
great care, noting all the wounds and pre-
pairing statement thereon for the coro-
her.
He established one fact-Miss Bertha
had not been criminally assaulted. Her
clothing and the bruises on her body left
no doubt, however. that an attempt had
been made to assault her. This would
seem to dispel the idea that a certain mem
ber Of the family had committed the deed.
