COMES TO GRIEF.
Fletcher Helms, Who Exposed" Bob
KepIey for Political Purposes,
Again in the Tolls.

Fletcher Helms will be rearrested this
afternoon. County Attorney Jetmore,
urged on by the storm of Indignation
which followed his action in letting the
ex-deputy sheriff off with a nominal
fine has recOnsidered his decision to
not issue a warrant and the warrant
was given this afternoon.
The particular charge against Helms
is second count which holds him re-
spOnsible for securing $25 from May De
foy, by misrepresentation. In this con-
nection there is something of a cloud
upon Deputy County Attorney Guy.
Guy negotiated a settlement with the
woman on behalf of Helm by which she
was given back the $25 she paid Helms,
less IS which Mr.. Guy was given for
making the collection. In considera-
tiOn for this she signed a contract for
Mr.. Guy in which she agreed not to
prosecute Helms.
The action of the county attorneys
department has indicated that there
was a disposition to let the ex-deputy
off easily and as soon as the primary
was over the charge was reduced to a
misdemeanor and he was let off with a
fine of S1O0.
When Helms was arrested he claimed
that he did not get any money from
the Defoy woman. He was caught in
the act of taking money from another
woman and so could not deny that
charge. He forged bogus warrants and
collected money from the women by
threats of arrest.
Helms was given his position in the
sheriff's office for his betrayal of Sher-
iff Kepley in the campaign year ago

The Prince was unconscious for sew

breath almost failed repeatedly. He
died without a struggle.
The death of the ex-chancellor came
as a surprise to all Europe. Despite
the family's denials, there was an un-

sinking of the Prince was first announc-

left unsaid than by any information
given. But when the daily bulletins
