me from saving part Of my earnings on
my own account, If I am inclined or anxious
to save. We all know 1t to be q fact that
very few government employees lay up any
thing during their tenure of Office. Why?
After they have paid their room and board
bills and other incidental expenses such as
clothes, shoes, etc, and send few dollars
to relatives at home, very little. If anything,
is left to be deposited in bank. Most of the
opponents Of the pension scheme place their
opposition on the ground that the clerks
and other employees can join any Of the hum
oreds of different secret. benevolent and
life insurance associations. That Is true,
and thousands of employees belong to them,
and their legal representatives reap the
benefit at their death. I take it that the
proposed legislation is for the benefit of the
government employe while he lives and not
his legal representatives when he dies.
There is change of administration every
four years, and hundreds and thousands are
dismissed. We also know how men and
women lnger here in Washington after be-

dcrIng of Defendant

LOUISVILLE. KY. November BE
fore the arguments in the case OF Mrs
Eugenia Elrod against the Adams Ex-
press Company were begun this morning
in the Federal Court. counsel for the
Adams Express Company introduced az
evidence an alleged confession, made by
Mrs Minnie Il. Ketcham, Charles Har-
din's wife This confession states that
her husband told her that Charlton Eirod
got him a position with the Express COM
pany with the understanding that they
were to steal at least 81 100000 from the
company Ketcham told his wife. ac-
cording to her confession. that he was
completely in Elrod's power, and that
FIrod threatened TO have him returned TO
the Missouri penitentiaryN for an unex-
pirca term If he did not do as Elrod di-
rected. Using this threat Elrod, II is al
legged. forced Hardin 10 give up his salary
as fast as il was drawn, giving him back
only enough TO live on-$l and y at a
time
Finally. according to Mrs. Ketchams
statement, Elrod's creditors, pressed him
too hard and he told Hardin to take
what money he could get Hardin came
home one morning with $1,000 He said
that he had stolen $4,000, and had turned
the most of II over to Elrod.
They went TO Cincinnati, where he gave
Mrs. Braun his mother-in-law. 5000, 1t
Is alleged, with which she bought house

made their home there for awhile, having
gotten $1,000 from Elrod. They then
travelled over the country. squandering
tho money. When they were finally ar
rested only a small part Of it was left.
From time to time Elrod visited them
and he. the wife says got back as much
of the money as they would give to him.
According 10 her confession. this nagglng
by Elrol caused her husband TO spend
the money and 20 begin to drink. Before
he was arrested he gave his parents in
Arkansas 5000, with which they pur-
chased a home.
