MURDERED BY WHOLESALE.
The stamebacLs OF Galena. Kan. Finally
brought to Confession.

JOPLIN. Mo-. Sept. l4.-Not since the horrible
crimes OF the Bender family were revealed has
southeastern Kansas been 80 excited AS by the
bloody butcheries &C mmitted by the Staiicback
family at Galena. Kan, which were brought TO
light by the confessions of Cora and Geotge
Statfeback on the witness stand at Columbus
yesterday. where the latter and his mother. Mrs.
Charles Wilson, were convicted OF the murder
OF Frank Galbrca,h. Ed StAfiieback was con.
victcd OF murder in the first degree to-day as
an accessory in the Galhrcath murder.
Cora Statficback weakened and told all she
knew about the murder OF Galbreath and 9th
ers whom the family has slain. George Static.
back. Cora's husband, without knowing what
his wife had revealed. made n similar con.
fessIon. They said that tialbrcath, who had
been murdered and robbed by the Statficback
boys and their mother. was not the only person
they had slain. but that an Italian peddler
whose name they did not know. had been MUIR
dered and robbed abaut two years ago. and his
body thrown in an abandoned mining shaft
about forty yards from the Staftlcback house. in
which Galbrcath's body WAS cast.
At that time Mrs. Charles Wilson. mother Of
the Staffieback boys, kept u questionable resort
in the four'room log cabin. " ere these crimes
were committed. Two girls, whose names George
s afficbaCk could not give, were living with Mike
and Ed StatiiebaCk at the time and saw the ped.
dlar murdered. They were threatened with dire
vengeance IL they ever revealed what they saw,
A few nights later Mixes mistress auarrellcd
with him and threatened TO leave the house.
Fearing she would betray him, he seized her by
the throat and choked her to death in the pres
cnce OF Ed Stafiieback and his mistress.
The latter attempted to save the girl, and Ed
crushed her skull with a six.shooter. The bodies
were then wrapped In n sheet and put under the
bed until late at night. when they were thrown
into tho same shaft where the peddler's body
had been dumped.
Then a lot OF loose earth and rocks wero
thrown into the shaft TO keep the bodies from
coming to the surface,
To-day Cora Statiicback was taken to Galcna
| and pointed out the shaft into which tho bodies
were thrown. A steam pump was put to work
| to night TO pump out tho water OF tho three
shafts near the Staiileback house. From one OF
tho shafts articles Of mems clothing were taken
out this evening. A piece OF u woman's waist
was also found.
All day crowds OF angry men stood about the
shafts. Fully 400 men are there tonight ready
TO go TO Columbus to lynch the Stafiebacks as
soon as these bodies are found.

he had a good view OF the body, which appeared
to him TO be that OF Il m n about 20 years old.
well built, with u smooth face. 1t was fully clad.
DIR. Sheeley's attention was first attracted 10
the spot by seeing IA hat como down the river.
The body soon followed. This leads to tho
conclusion that the man entered tho water
nor further up tho stream than the Goat
Island bridge. 1t was his belief that
tho body was inanlmate before the
terrible plunge over tho fall was made. for no
noticed no signs Of life. The spot where the
body passed over the brink Is about seventy
Ave feet out, which would land It on the rocks
at the foot OF tho falls. Nobody has been re-
ported missing at any OF the hotels tonight.
The number OF fatalities that occur
here has aroused public interest to such
to lessen the danger of drowning accidents.
John s.. MackIen has addressed Q letter to

CARRIED on MS BRoTHER,s LIFE.
Emil Insured George Heavily. Expecting HIN
to Commit Suicide.

Special Cable Desputch TO THE Sun.
VIENNA, Sept. IA unique case. growing
out Of the suicide of Capt George Lowenthal.
has just terminated in the law courts here. IL
appeared from the evidence in the case that in
1895 Emil Lowenthal, n brother OF the Captain.
agreed to furnish money to the latter, who was
a roue and gambler. on condition that he either
marry the daughter OF a millionaire or commit
suicide after the expiration of two years from
the time Of entering upon the agreement. Emil
then heavily insured Georges life in various
companies and had inserted III the policies q
clause declaring that they would not be affected
sured should meet his death.
George failed in his attempts TO ~inveigle a
rich mans daughter to marry him. and upon the
expiration of the two Years he kept the other
part OF the agreement and blew out his brains
with a revolver.
Then Emil applied for the payment of tho
policies on his brothers life. but the companies
had learned OF the agreement he had made with
George and refused to pay their losses. Later
they caused his arrest on the charge of having
fraudulcutly secured the Yovcrsion Of some OF
the policies. The trial. which concluded to-day.
resulted in the conviction Of the accused and no
was sentenced to two years Imprisonment.
1t appears that another brother and also a
sister had =; eculatcd by means of insurance on
Georges suicide. Emil was often heard To say.
after he knew that George could not induce a
wealthy girl 10 wed him, that unless his brother
shot himself he would prove himself a scoun-

~lcngclto fight a duel was issued. United States
Senator Boics Penrose figured indirectly in the
affair.
Mr.. Penrose was sitting in the MononRahela
House talking to his friends and clients. Judge
Ridgeway, tho Philadelphia millionaire, and
John II. Bishop. They had arrived In
town on Monday night to look after
a lawsuit. mat crs pertaining to the
Redstone mine, one OF tho possessions of the
Rtdgeway Coal Company. being in litigation. In
chairs in the lobby were several coal operators.
discussing tho settlement OF the miners strike.
Col. Rcnd and Capt. Steytlcr sat apart from
the Others. The Colonel had just made a remark
that the Captain seemed to approve OF and
both were shaking hands cordially. just
then Mr.. Rdgeway left Senator Penrose and
stepped up to the desk to speak to tho clerk.
Col. Rend, who saw him leave his party. gave
up Capt. Stcytlcr's hand and sanntcrei over to
the desk. Placing his hand on Mr.. RidEwav's
shoulder he asked him something about the
Redstonc mine.

about that. Colonel" said. Mr.. RidRwny. You
must really excuse me. The matter - entirely
in the hands Of my attorney. Senator Pcnrose.'r.
With that Mr.. Ridgway turned on his heel
and rejoined his partner and the Senator. Somc-

The indignant Captain partly rose from his

shouted the Colonel, as. despite his 80 years. he
broke away and tripped up stairs. Steytler re-
turned presently unArmcd. and soon the Colonel
burst into the lobby in n towering rage and
carrying "a huge revolver. He grabbed Steytlcr
by the coat lapel. Come on he said. lyon

BY this time the friends OF tho two men had
gathered about them. Rend was furious. and
Steytlcr was cursing himself because he had no

out ut different doors. and il took their friends

Senator Penrose observed the quarrel Curl

PROVIDENCE. n. l., Sept. li.-prcsident f.
Benjamin Andrews of Brown University sprung
another surprise on tho community tonight by
WITHDRAWING his resignation of the Presidency
or tho university. His letter OF withdrawal
reads:
"BRowN UNIVERSITY, Sept. ii. '07.

"GENrLEMEN: The resolution of the CORPORA.

"heh you laid tho communication before

Judgment OF tho corporation on the subject, 1
came to regard as Incompatible with the duties
OF my Presidency. | therefore felt Obliged at
hrst to adhere to my resignation. but being now
freo TO give 10 the university my undivided SER
vice, l have withdrawn my resignation, and
nave notified the Secretary of the corporation to
that effect. l am. gentlemen, yours. with sin
ccrest esteem. Il. BENZ. ANDREWS"
The college term at Brown begins tomorrow.
ana IL was understood that DR.. Andrews was to
conduct the opening chapel services as usual,
S"'' th"t AZ wan ~ TcItln INC fTeSlNcnCy
until his successor was appointed. Everybody
had settled down TO the conclusion that tho con-
trovcrsy between the Brown corporation and
the President had been brought to an end by the
severance OF the Presidents relations with the
university without loss of honor to Brown, and
that tho university was going to peg along with.
out any further fiuster.
DIR. Androws's action tonight, however, was
ike the explosion Of a bomb in u peaceful gath
ering. 1t was altogether unexpected. as it was
generally understood that John Brisben Walker
was to have DIR. Andrews all to himself. Now
the latter changes the situation literally with a
sweep OF his pen and says he belongs entirely to
Brown.
There Is n wellfoundcd belief, asserted openly
here, that DIR. Andrews was right in his previous
assertion that his days OF usefulness at Brown
had passed, and now that he proposes to remain
at tho university there is little doubt that the
general situation will grow worse instead OF
better.
