MISS HEPP RELEASED.
Cunningham Bail Reduced to SIC. 900
Judge Church Exercises His
Authority.

! When we went to press last week
Sheriff Jones and the two prisoners
James Cunningham and Ida Hepp, the
County Attorney and the associate coun
sci, Theo. f. Myers, and a number OF
witnesses, were at Carroll where they
had been summoned by Judge Church
in order to hear the question of releas-
ing the prisoners on habeas corpus. I'm.
portant work before the court delayed
the hearing from Wednesday till Sat
urday. Then the case was called and
the evidence given before Justice Gray
was gone over and besides this the de-
Tense introduced some witnesses.
John Hepp and Charles Hepp, broth
ers Of Ida Hepp, testified that she was
at her brothers near Gray constantly
from the time she returned from Allan
tic, March 5, until she was arrested by
the sheriff on this charge. These wit
nesses, also John Mcclure, testified
that the weather from March to March
IS, the date when the dead child was
found, contained some mild weather,
that it was changeable, not warm all
the time, but warm and cold. Doctors
Slower and Gockley, of Carroll, gave it
as their professional opinions that the
body could not have lain dead from the
9Th to the 10th and been in the condi-
ton the evidence described it to have
been in when found, if the weather was
as witnesses said it was. The counsel
for the defense argued from this that
the child did not meet it's dea tn on
March 9Th, and that consequently Miss
Hepp at least was not implicated. The
result was after argument that she was
released and that the bond of Cunning
ham was lowered from $4,000 to $4,000
Miss Hepp was therefore set at liberty.
Cunningham was returned here to Jail
Sunday. He has not yet secured bond.
We have not heard that he is likely to
do so.
OF course there is nothing in the
action of Judge Church in releasing Miss
Hepp that will prevent the grand jury
here from lndicting her if they think
there is sufficient evidence against her.
Unless Mr.. Cunningham can give bond
he will have to remain in Jail until the
grand jury passes on the question as to
whether they think the evidence against
him is enough for Indictment. The case
is surely a mysterious one, as nearly all
murder cases are. We sincerely hope
the truth will be found out. Then
punishment, severe and just, will over
take whoever is guilty.

Away back here in this prairie country
over a thousand miles from the sea it
isn't supposed that there are many
among our people who know much
of life on the wave. Now that we are
about to engage in naval war those few
who have such knowledge are regarded
with envious consideration. A. S. Gull
yer, the genial miller, enlisted in the
navy at Brooklyn, N. Y, during the war
and saw active duty for year or two,
being in naval engagements and having
experience enough to remember a life
time. Sam M. Gardner, of Greeley
township, came from down in Maine by
the coast and was fairly raised before
the mast. He was for many years of his
life more familiar with the sea than with
land, but from a sailor he has changed
into good farmer. There may be
others of our people who have know
ledge of marine affairs, but they are
comparatively scarce.
