st. Louis Grand Jury After Election
Law ViOlatOrs.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 1S.-As a result Of its
Investigations into election frauds the
grand jury handed down about twenty in
dictments of men charged with repeating,
mostly in the First and Second wards. 1t
is expected that during the next few days
as many as fifty more indictments of like
nature will be returned. As yet the names
OF all those indicted have not been made
public, but the report is that several police
officers. charged with interfering with the
rights of citizens TO voting. are among the
number. Bench warrants were issued and
placed in the hands of deputy sheriff,
who by night had brought in four alleged
repeaters. They are Edward McElvaney,
Frank Pessagnio, Ed Miller and William
Cahill. who were released upon furnishing
bail IT is not thought probable now that
the grand jury will make its final report
until all the bench warrants shall have
been served.

FRAKER CASE ENDED
VERDICT RENDERED. AGAINST THE
INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Policies Aggregating $44,655 Must BE
Paid to Relatives of the Dead
Missouri Doctor.

KANSAS CITY, NO., Dec. 1S-After three
weeks consumed in it's trial and one day
in argument the jury, to-day, in twenty
one minutes after receiving its instructions,
returned verdict in the famous DIR. Fra
ker insurance case. 1t was in favor OF the
relatives of Fraker, who sued five COM
panies which held policies on the Doctors
life when he was drowned at Excelsior
Springs, Missouri, July 10, 1893. The policies
aggregated $H655, and the plaintiffs have
been granted judgment for the full amount.
The different companies and amounts fol-
low: Provident Savings and Life Assurance
Society of New York, $l0,675; Kansas Mu-
tual of Topeka, s1O,66o; Hartford Life and
Annuity Insurance Company, $16,930; Su-
preme Lodge knights OF Pythias of the
World, 1915; Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca, sS.1s5. The benefactors named in the
policies are two sisters of the deceased
doctor-Mrs. Cynthia Hatfield ana Margaret
Magruder, of Macon county, Missouri-and
six orphan nephews and nieces living in
Oregon, Washington State and California.
The case has been one of peculiar inter-
est and has been desperately fought on
both sides. The trial has been very costly
to the defense. DR.. H. c. Fraker was a
physician with moderate practice at Ex-
celslor Springs, Mo. July 10, 1893, while on a
fishing trip IN Missouri, he slipped from
the bank and was drowned. Not the least
trace of him could be found and his COM
plete disappearance being so exceptional,
several of the insurance companies refused
TO pay the policies held by him. 1t was as
serted 1t was a conspiracy TO defraud and
that the doctor swan the river and es-
capped in the garb of woman. To strength
en- this theory the defense introduced testi-
mony TO show the doctor changed his sex
every seven years, and had awaited such
a transition TO practice the deception.

Only email portion of the Conieder-

that there was no fighting. The regi-
ment to which the Shenandoah guards
was attached moved down from the
plateau and went into camp. 1t had
been broken and defeated, and yet 1t
had rallied and won reputation. Ev-
cry one of the 10 companies had been
more or less disorganized, hut the
guards perhaps worst of all. That this
company should have been led back

and that it should have brought off the

fight had been so bloody, furnished occa-

Duke Wyle was no coward. There
wasn't a taint of craven blood in his
veins. II was SO also with his fellow

the rush of the Federals had stampeded

new thing, and few had served an ap-
