AN ALLEGED NEW WITNESS.
Who Heard Both Shots Fired and
Says No One Left the House.

The prosecution will within the next
few days ask leave of Judge HaZen to
endorse the name OF. Lee Myers, an ad
ditional witness, on the information in
the Collins case.
Myers is a carpenter and lives across
the street from the Collins residence. 1t
is said that his evidence, if introduced,
will be of the greatest Importance.
Myers, it is stated, is prepared to
swear that he was awakened by the
first shot fired in the Collins home and
had time to spring from his bed and
look out of the window in the direction
of the Collins residence before the sec
ond shot was fired.
The position Of his home was such
that he had a direct view of the roof of
the bath room and coal shed, from his
location at the window, and the prose
cution states he is ready to swear that
no one left the house over the roofs OF
these buildings. 1t is stated that he is
also ready to swear that no one left
the residence until Grace Collins open
ed the front door and ran across the
street to the Lange home.
The Importance of such testimony to
the state is at once evident. That in
reference to the period between the first
and second shot would be in direct con-
tradiction to the testimony of Mrs. Col
Inns, she having stated that the shots
were fired in rapid succession. 1t would
also bear out the theory of the state
that James S. Collins recognized his
murderer and swore his wife to secrecy
before he became unconscious.

| leaving the house over the bath room
and coal shed roofs. or from any direc-
ton. would break down the possibility
| of James S. Collins having been muir
dered by a burglar or an enemy who
made his escape Immediately after the
shooting. This would leave the defense
only the theory of suicide, which is I'M
tenable.
The defense will probably object
strongly to the endorsement of Mr.
Myers name on the information, and it
will remain for Judge Hazen to decide
whether such shall be made.

Safe Blowers and Burglars Convicted
at Hays City-Have Operated
All Over Kansas.

Hays City. Dec. 6.-Blackie Clark and
two OF his pals were convicted in the
district court here yesterday for safe
blowing and larceny at Victoria and
Walker They were sentenced to ten
years in the penitentiary. This is the
gang that was caught in Salina, and
their work extended over much terri
tory.
Six of the gang were arrested in a
clulnp of timber near Salina about Oc-
tober Il by Pinkerton detectives under
charge Of superintendent Schumacher
of Kansas City. They were travelling
over the country in a covered wagon,
and their outfit was found about a
week after they had been landed in
JAN.
The Salina authorities found SIS in
national bank notes and a small amount
of silver coin that had been buried near
the Santa Fe cattle pens there. Among
the bills was a $40 note that had been
torn and slightly burned by some ex-
plosion. This bill led to the fastening
oe the crime of Swallowing on the
gang. Mr.. Schumacher had in his pos
session a portion of the torn bill, the
pieces of which fit precisely, and which
were picked up in the Office of the Olaf
lin Grain company at Clafiin, Kan.

The Rock Island Backs Out and
Declines to Run the Ex-

tract was made for the running of these
two excursions through E. E. Macleod,
A G. P. A of the Rock Island, tickets
were printed and the excursions adver-
tised in the State Journal, Topeka. Capital
and in other mediums
Following these announcements the mer-
chants of Holton at once organized the
Eolton Commercial club, whose first
ton was to make vigorous protest to the
Rock Island company, demanding that the
excursion be declared off.
1t is said that the Holton merchants
threatened to refuse to ship over that line

ThereupOn informed the committee repre-

had raised the money to pay for this ex-
curslOn tnaL the company would not carry
out the agreement which had been made.

meetings and MED strong protests both by
letter and wire, Directing to the arbitrary

the excursion was unjust to merchants do
ing business at various points on their
lines and declared the contract off.
The Topeka merchants who have con-
tributed to this fund, so far they have
been Eeen, are very indignant at the action
of the Rock Island company in thus
breaking its contract to run this particu-
lar train. inasmuch all of the negotia-
tons went TO show that Mr.. Macleod, the
a c. P A for the road was acting with
entire authority.
The Topeka merchants are unanimous
in their opinion far as they have eX-

good faith and that the Rock Island made
8 contract which could not be broken with
any sense of business prOpriety.
The Topeka merchants have not yet de-
cided definitely what will be done. An
effort will be made to see if their adver-
tisementS and announcements cannot be
between Horton and Topeka and that they
be given the opportunity to come to To-
peka on Friday. December 9, as adver-
Jised and at a cost to them of just the
advertised rates. If this be done, the
merchants association will be obliged to
refund to ticket purchasers a large amount
OF the regular fare. This would cost the
Topeka merchants some money, but they
are debating the matter today whether it
would not ne better to do this, rather than
break faith on their part although the
Rock Island company. and not the Topeka
merchants. is responsible If the excursion
IS not carried out.
a definite announcement of just what
will be done is expected to be made tomor-
