AN ATTORNEYS STATEMENT.
He Says the Los Angeles Corpse Was
Not Aaron WOIfsOhn's Body.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 26-M. n. Sale, attor-
ney for Benjamin Wolfsohn. the father of
Aaron Wolfsohn. the young man who
added another chapter to the now famous
$4,000 insurance suit at Chicago yesterday,
in an interview to-day, stated that he
had no doubts about the genuineness of
the telegram mentioned in the Chicago
dispatch. ''Mr. O'Bryan, the insurance
company's attorney" said Mr.. Sale, was
here last Friday He had picture of the
corpse found in the O'Neil woman's room
in Los Angeles, and We went together to
the Wolfsohn home and compared pictures.
The corpse did not look at all like young
Wolfsohn, except that some person had
brushed the hair in the style that Wolf
sohn usually wore his. Mr.. OBryan also
had afidavits signed by the supposed sui
eide that he was alive n. Hesselberg. a
brother in law, at once recognized the
writing as that of Aaron Wolfsohn.
I'm order to complete the identification
of Wolfsohn, Mr.. Hesselberg went TO Chi
cago on Saturday with Mr.. OBryan and he
is the brother in law referred to in the
telegram received Christmas day by the
public administrator at Los Angeles"
Concerning the woman in the case.
Mr.. Sale added that she now
claimed to be Wolfsohn's common law
wife "She had" said Mr.. Sale, evident
ly kept quiet until the present time in the
hope of securing the money, not know
ing what evidence the insurance company
had accumulated. The burden is now
thrown on her. She will have to answer
where and how that corpse came to be in
her ROOM.
Young Wofsohn has not been in st.
Louis for nearly two years.

JONES TURNS PROPHET.
The Arkansas Democratic Boss Makes
Rash Predictions.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. Ex-senator j. K.
committee, ex-Vice President Adlai Stew
enson and Gen. p. Watt Hardin, of Ken
lucky, were here to-day and this after
noon met large gathering of local Demo-
cratic leaders. After greetings Senator
Jones spoke at some length, announcing
his views of current political issues. He
said: II believe that all people have
right to govern themselves in their own
way. The American people will rise up as
one man and condemn the course of the
administration as criminal aggression.
The next Democratic convention will reaf-
firm the Chicago platform and nominate
Bryan. 1t will declare against trusts. 1t
will declare in favor of establishing free
dom everywhere. What our fathers be-
lieved in we believe in. and L have no
doubt about the result. My idea about the
Philippines is that it is our duty to restore
order there and then allow these people to
take a government of their own and let
them manage their own affairs in their
own way. The government of the United
States should say to the Filipinos now
that our purpose is to establish peace. We
should treat the Filipinos with the same
good faith as the Cubans. Whether we
will keep faith with the Cubans have my
doubts. The Beers, by their resistance,
are making votes for us with every rising
and setting of the sun. Our sympathy
goes out to those poor fellows in a way
that words cannot express
Ex-Vice President Stevenson and Gen.
eral Hardin also spoke along the same
lines, all being optimistic of Democratic
success.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 26.-When S.
A. d. Jones, the local agent of the New
York Life Insurance Company. was inter-
viewed to-day regarding a story from Chi
cago that Aaron Wolfsohn, whom he in
sured for $4,000, and who committed sui
eide and was buried here, had turned up
alive in Chicago, he said he could not be-
lieve the Chicago story. Mr.. Jones does not
understand hov the thing was brought
about, but he is positive that the man
whom he insured as Aaron Wolfsohn, is
dead. He has taken every means possible
to identify the man and says there is no
doubt However, he is going East to make
a fuller investigation.
Mrs. ONeill, the woman who. paid for
the funeral of the man who committed
suicide, also corroborated Mr.. Jones. She
was present when the medical examina-
ton for the insurance was made. She was
very intimate with Wol1sohn. She gave
him $500 to go Last with and corresponded
with him while he was there. When he re-
turned she happened to be in San Fran
cisco and did not him until after he
was dead, but she positively identified the
body. There is only one theory, and that
is that there are two Aaron Wolfsohns, and
that they look like

Hastily putting up a small lunch the
young school teacher hurried away for

home and made coffee the principal thing

set in and more or less bowel trouble. but
she never had applied to herself the teach

inferior that il was pushed away in dis

known as an enthusiast on the subject.
One day at school remark was made on

to know that IL was boiled fifteen or
twenty minutes. That cleared I'D the

over Postum as the other teacher has
been.

fectly delighted with the thought Of hav-
