DR.. j. E. Minney, who arrived in
Topeka late yesterday afternoon from
PaxicO, was seen by JOURNAL
reporter about the alleged confession of
one of the students which was printed
in yesterdays paper.

There was trouble in the class in
chemistry but none in the class
in the dlssecting room. There
was no dissecting going on at

steal bodies from there than the other
cemeteries but everyone knows what a
power the Catholic church is and its
members always stand together, l will
do all in my power to bring the guilty
persons to justice"
County Attorney Stafford says the case
against Janitor Johusou, which is now
pending in Justice Furry's court, will be
dropped as the charge of grave robbin g
is simply misdemeanor and will be
tried on the same basis as the members
of the college faculty who are now un-
der arrest.
johnson is a Mason, and it is said that
at meeting ofthe Silver Lake lodge. of
which he is a member, the lodge voted to
assist in Johnson's defense.
The Rochester Cemetery association
held a meeting today in North Topeka
and offered a reward of 500 lor the con-
viction and punishment of the person or
persons who purchased the two bodies
which were stolen from Rochester ceme-
terry.
The association also adopted some reso-
lutions, which are printed in another
part of this paper.
The defense which it is said will be
made by the Medical college people and
the one which the county attorney ex-
poets is that used by medical schools in
the east with success
This is that the school had a contract
with an unknown person to furnish it
with bodies. That none of the faculty
knew him, or wanted to know him. That
at certain times the doors of the build
ing are left unlocked and
money is left at prearranged place
for the ghoul. No one sees him come or
go, and no one tries to find out who he
is.
Ann Arbor is said to conduct its busi-
ness this way, and to have escaped pun
ishment on different occasions by this
process.

He is Under Contract to Abstain for Five
Years.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Lafe Pence,
OF Colorado, who came into congress on
the western silver wave of 1892, and
who went out on the Republican tidal
wave of 1894, is in Washington. He
made something of hit as a Populist
orator in the Fifty-third congress, but
on the expiration of his term settled in
New York state. where he engaged in
business with x-CoHgressman HAines.
Mr.. Pence said in an interview:
I'll aines and / made an agreement to
devote ourselves entirely to business for
five years. 1t is not always the easiest
thing in the world to carry out an agree
ment such as Haines and 1 made. and
now and then an occasion arises in which
we have to draw the contract on each
other.
"Some time ago Haines wanted to at
tend a county convention, but l brought
out the contract and he had TO keep
away. He stands ready to draw it on me
at any suggestion on my part to mix up
in political matters. The contract is a
very clear and binding one, and it was
witnessed by our wives, who ara deter
mined to see that we do not forget If. If
1 hadn't gone out of politics l think
would soon have trouble in keeping up
my life insurance, for politics meant too
little money and too much expense. l
am now working for the Pence family"

Yesterday Sheriff Hindman received
card announcing that negro of 26 years,
. feet inches in height, and weighing
perhaps 1876 pounds, had kidnapped 16-
year-old girl named Rose Thouvenal
from her home near Warsaw, Mo. The
card also offered reward of 800 by the
father of the girl The two were arrested
yesterday.
They each claimed that they had been
married, but later the girl admitted that
such was not the case, but that she loved
the man.
The man spent his time weeping and
pleading with the sheriff to keep the Of
dcers from taking him back to Warsaw,
as he was afraid the friends of the father
would burn him to the stake.
He plead to be allowed 80 marry the
girl, but the sheriff would not allow him
the privilege.
The sheriff of Benton county will ar
rive either today or tomorrow and take
back the two prisoners and the babe. 1t
is possible that Chisholm will try to keep
the requisition papers from being served
upon him.
