The mystery was cleared I'D at the SEES

fed to having had conversation with Mr..
Cornell in which the latter had stated
that he alone was responsible for the
deed. The substance of Deputy Sheriff
Palmer's statement, as made to the jury.
was that in conversation with Cornell
since the murder Cornell told him that
he was angry and had the blues and that
he went to bed that night mad His
wife had complained to him that Lewis
had furnished no flour and SO had not
kept his agreement to support the fam
lily. He told her to turn Lewis out. and
then the trouble began.
DIR. Wilkinson testified that Cornell had
talked to him of his family troubles be-
fore the children were killed. Cornell
said that when they lived at Summit the
woman III the house where Cornell now
lived had taken in washing and they
thought that Mrs. Cornell could do the
same and that he could get work. Cor

Third Trial OF &c ID and Emery
for Murder of Justin
Comes Up,

Plainfeld, Wis, Nov. 27.-[Special /
The celebrated Lord and Emery murder
trial, one of the most important ever
held in the state, will come up for the
third trial on November %. The muir
der was committed on the evening of
June ?, 1893, fourteen miles west of here,
when Peter Justin was shot and instant
~ killed while playing an accordion by
his own window. An old man named ia
cobs, also William Lord and Charles EN-
cry, were arrested and Jacobs pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to prison at
Waupun. Lord and Emery were convict
ed of being implicated in the murder and
were sentenced to prison. Several
months later they were granted a new
trial by the decision of the Supreme court
and the trial took place last fall and
occupied twenty-three days, but the jury
disagreed. They were given a third
trial which comes off ON the 29th at Wau-
sau..., The people of Wood county feel the
burden Of these expensive trials very
keenly as the two trials cost Wood coun-
ty over $4,000 and the third trial will
add another $4,000 to the overburdened
taxpayers. About twenty witnesses will
attend the trial from this county. The
case has. gained widespread celebrity over

Wilkinson stated, been apparently as ra-

him to be.

saturday night, he found Frank Dahl
man. who was bound over to circuit
court on a serious charge, missing from
his cell A search was instituted and
the prisoner was found secreted in one
corner Of the corridor beneath a pile of
rubbish.
A further investigation followed and
under the bedclothes Of Dahlman's bunk
was found a kit of tools consisting of six
steel saws, three hair files, a bottle of
olive oil, a screWdriver and large knife
The fact was discovered that Dahlman
had begun TO cut his way out of the jail
One of the large steel bars of the corri-
dor had been sawed nearly in two and
with the tools that were found in his bed
he would have gained his liberty in Il
day or so. The tools were bought by It
farmer named Frank Shaak. it is alleged,
who delivered them to Dahlman few
days ago during visit to the Jail. Shaak
was arrested and brought to this city late.
Saturday night.
There were about twenty-five prisoners
IN the Jail. all of whom would have es-
capped with Dahlman had he been sue
cesSful
Dahlman was arrested about six weeks
ago on a serious charge preferred by his
13-year-old daughter.

by DIR. Wilkinson, as printed in this pa
Fer, but that he had no personal recol-
lection of it whatever. He desired, how
ever, that no innocent person should sui
fer, and was therefore willing to shout
der the sole responsibility for the Staying
of the two children.
When the inquest recOnvened at 1:3O
p. N. Justice Robinson, the acting cor
oner, said that if Mrs. Cornell and Lewis
were here he certainly would require
them to testify subject to their right to
refuse to answer any question which
might tend to eliminate them. But they
were not here, and he doubted whether
they could throw any light on the case.
Therefore he thought it would not be
necessary to send to Waukesha for them.
In giving the case to the jury Justice
Robinson cautioned them that it was a
matter OF grave public interest and that
all manner of stories and rumors had
been atloat, but that they must be gov
erned in their action by their own knowl-
edge of the conditions as they had seen
them and by the sworn evidence.
