the stand to read his notes Of COIL
versation between ex-State Attorney

which was held before the latter's al
rest. EX-Judge Wing. for the defense,
objected to the testimony on the ground
that man Is not compelled to talk until
he is arrested. Associate Prosecutor
Scanlan replied that O'Sullivan talked
freely at the time in question.
Let Mr.. Seaman be sworn" said
Judge Wing suddenly. The attorney
objected, but the court insisted, and
taking the stand Seaman was forced to
admit that he had not heard the con-
versation, and did not know whether
O'Sullivan talked freely or not.
After Mr.. Seaman had retired crest
fallen from the stand, it was decided to
send for Mr.. Longenecker to tell of the
interview. While waiting for his ap-
pearance, eX-Chief of Police Hubbard
took the stand and told of having asked
Coughlin where the latter was OH the
night of alay 4.
'He said he could not remember
where he spent the day." said the wit
ness, but thought he had been around
the police station after supper. l asked
him why the man wanted Dinan's rig.
He replied he did not know. Then 1
asked the mans name, and he said it
was James Smith, adding that he lived
i'll Hancock, Mich. He then explained
how the man had come to him.
The cross-eXamination of Hubbard
was stormy one, and at last Judge

HOSPITAL ROBBED.
Prominent Chicago Business Man
Under Serious Charges.

Prominent Chicago Business Man
Under Serious Charges.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-George NJ. Bogue,
one of the most prominent business
men of Chicago, has been accused of
the misappropriation of about S75, 600 of
the funds of the Presbyterian hospital,
of which institution he was president
Mr.. Bogue admits that there is some
ENHANCEMENT with the hospital but says
any discrepancy will be made up imme-
diately. Last summer he made an as
signment and withdrew from the big
real estate firm of Bogue q Co., and it is
said that the misplacing Of the hospital
funds was the result of his financial
embarrassment. Among the transac-
tons developments regarding the sale
OF Rev. ADderson's home, which was the
subject of suppressed lawsuit, show
that Mr.. Bogue paid DR.. Anderson
$4,000 or $4,000 to avoid going into
court over this matter. Another pecu-
liar deal occurred about two years ago.
Henry A. Phipps, of Phipps, Carnegie
q Co., Pittsburg, sent to Bogue check
for S75, 900 to take up a note given for
the purchase OF acre property. Mr..
Phipps came here himself to find, it is
said, that only $4,000 had been paid of
$4,000 sent on, and that Mr.. Bogue was
using the balance. Mr.. Bogue in an
interview explains that this matter was
adjusted" The finance committee of
the hospital is making an investigation,
but the institutions officials refuse to
talk regarding the probable outcome OF
the affair.

RACE WAR.
Negroes and Whites Refuse to
Mix in the Schools.

VIA III tnS SCHOOLS.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. ia race war
on a small scale is brewing at Merriam.
Kan, seven miles southeast of Kansas
City. The trouble is caused by negro
parents who want their children to
attend the same school with white chill
dren. Shawnee. one mile from Merri-
am, has made provision for separate
schools for white and negro children in
the same building. The negro children
from Merriam have been sent to the
Shawnee school, the Merriam district
paying the tuition for them. The Mcr-
Ram negroes resented this, and have
been making threats of trouble. At the
same time the Shawnee negroes are
demanding mixed school. and say they
will insist on their children being
allowed to study in the same room with
the white children. Some of the pc
groes held meeting near Shawnee
yesterday, and threatened an outbreak
this morning, but the white parents
were on hand, and thus far there has
been no serious trouble.

action the defendant had made an as

claim for the Identical loss and policy
described in the complaint in this
action, which was verified as required
by statute and filed with the as
signee as for a claim against the
estate OF defendant, the said
inSolyent. which claim was duly re-
ceived and allowed by said assignee,
and is now pending before the assignee.
The facts set UP in the answer are sub
stantially conceded. and the cause was
submitted to the court and tried with

MILWAUKEE HOTEL MN KILLS AM
AGED woman,
EXPECTING TO FIND MONEY.
His Search for Gold Is Unsuccess-
ful, and in His Rage Sets Fire
TO the PIace-The Murderer
Makes a Full Confession
Whitechapel Horror Reported
From Kentucky.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. Is. - Ru-
dolph j. Pechmann, proprietor of the
CreamCity hotel, in which Mrs. Schrums
was found dead after the building was
partly destroyed by fire last Friday
morning. confessed at noon today that
he strangled his aged guest for the pur-
pose OF robbery and afterwards fired
her room. He failed to secure the wom-
ans money. Pechmann is now in Jail.
Pechmann said business had been poor
with him for two years. He knew Mrs.
Schrums had money, and it occurred
to him that he might manage to secure
it. For a week before the fatal night
he watched every movement Of his
victim. Just before he was going to
bed last Thursday he heard Mrs.
Schrums get up and go to another ROOM
lie concluded that his chance had come,
and he went into her room. When the
old lady returned he threw blanket
over her head and chOked her to death.
He then made search. but found moth
ing. He then went down stairs and
told his wife the old lady was dead, and
that they might help themselves to
whatever they might find. She refused
to accompany him up stairs. and he re-
turned alone to make another search.
Upon his return 10 the room he found
that Mrs. Schrums showed signs of re-
covery. and he choked her again. Then
he set fire to the place and threw a
lamp upon the floor. While the fire
was spreading, Pechmann made final
search for money, but was again I'M
successful. When there was a pros
pect that the fire would leave him worse
off financially than when he committed
the terrible deed, the murderer called
the fire department. Mrs. Pechmann
will not be arrested, as she had no
knowledge that her huSbend intended
to secure the money by committing
murder. The whereabouts of the muir
dered woman's money is stilla mystery.
