Butler that a warrant would be issued
whenever the sheriff desires it.
DIR. Ancker was sent for. and the
wound OF Deputy Horst was looked
after. The shot was fired at so close
range that the powder buried itself in
the flesh. The bullet entered the right
wrist at one side of the main artery.

Ermisch's Mother Arrested.
Another and important move was
made at 8 o'clock last night. At that
hour there was a brief conference at
the Sheriff's room at the county jail,
and, having heard some other news
concerning the case, Sheriff Chapel
decided to take Mrs. Schneider in
charge. A carriage was sent for and
Deputy Picha. accompanied by a GLOBE
reporter, who acted as interpreter. went
to the house at 456 Blair street. Mrs.
SCHNEIDER came to the door in response
to knock and asked both men to enter.
1--WE would like to have you go with
trouble"
ais that So" said the woman. 'Come
in and l'll get ready"
The house is modeStly furnished,
showing that the family is but poorly off
in the goods of this world. Mr.. Schmel-
ger was at home, having come but a
short time ago from his daily work. He
evidently had heard some information
concerning the affair and spoke about it
to the waiting men while his wife was
getting ready to accom- Dany them to the
county jail. Their little girl. who had
evidently retired for the night, came
tumbling out of bed, urging her mother
not to 90, as it was late anu dark.
Not expecting to be understood,
Schneider addressed his wife i'll low
tones and in German, saying: per
haps they are after you and will lock
you up"
II don't think So" said the woman,
and came out dressed in the same dark
costume she wore all through the trial
of her son.
The ride to the Jail was silent one.
Neither ventured any remarks. Once
in the female ward she was searched,
| but nothing of the nature of weapons
was found upon her. Then she was
informed that she was under arrest for
having supplied her son with weapon,
and was also made acquainted with the
law and the punishment provided. She
was urged to make clean statement of
the affair and thereby save herself from
the extreme punishment which might
be melted out to her. She was aston
ished 20 hear that her son had given out
any Information connecting her with
the affair, and. while her face turned
fiery red, she stoutly denied knowing
anything about it, In that statement
she persisted for some time. and Sheriff
Chapel gave orders to have her locked
up until tomorrow. at which time an
other effort will be made to induce her
to tell the truth. The case is practi-
cally narrowed down to her. and it
would be the best thing for her to do.
Here's a Serious OTense.
The Offense of providing prisoner
with weapon is serious one, and is
expressly provided for by section 70 of
the penal code, which says:
| ~ person who with intent to effect
! or facilitate the escape of a prisoner,
whether the escape is effected or at.
tempted, OF not, enters prison or con-
veys to prisoner any information, or
sends into prison any disguise, in
Strument, weapon or other thing, is
guilty of felony, if the prisoner is held
u pom charge, arrest, commitment, OF
onviction of felony"
The punishment therefore is a Sc
We re one, and is provided by section L
as follows:
"a person convicted of a crime de.
clared to be felony, for which no other
punishment is prescribed by this code
or by any other statutory provision in
force at the time of the conviction and
sentence, is punishable by imprison-
ment in states prison or county jail
for not more than seven years or by &
fine of not more than S1,Ou0, or by
! BOTH"
Jude Kerrss Life Threatened.
Another feature of the case developed
yesterday evening when OH old German
called at the Office of the chief of police
and told that official that he wished t
inform him that the stepfather of the
convicted murderer had made oper
threats that he would shoot Judge Kerr
on sight as soon as he could get an op.
portunity. The chief at once informed
the Rondo street station, and also sen
the man there to repeat his story. The
Rondo district was notified to keep
sharp watch on the man and arrest hin
on the first suspicious move. This in
formation was also communicated tt
Sheriff Chapel, who sent deputy to the
residence of Judge Kerr to inform hin
of the news and to warn him to be OF
his guard. The old man says he ha
lived at the house of those people aut
has often heard them discussing tn,
