CASE GIVEN TO GRAND JURY
Fred Sewers Filed Says
Son Was Murdered.

The Kansas City Journal says: When
the Jackson county grand jury meets
next April it will begin the Investigation
of what may be one of the most remark
able cases in the history OF the state. The
machinery of the law has been put in mo-
| ton to determine whether or not Charles
a. Sewers, % years of age and a crippele,
was murdered and his body laced on the
tracks of the Memphis road to hide the
crime.
Frederick A. Sewers of Wichita, father
Of the dead boy. yesterday filed informa-
ton with Prosecuting Attorney Reed to
substantiate his charges that his son had
| been murdered and the case was given to
the grand jury, then in session. Owing
| to the fact that an immense mass of evil
dence had been secured and it would take
at least a week to examine all the wit
nesses and decide whether or not to re-
! turn an indictment, the case was left over
for the next grand jury to act on.
The official records in relation to the
death of Charles Sewers show that on the
morning of Thursday. October 6, 1898, his
dead body was found lying on the tracks
of the Memphis road, just south of the
mangled and showed evidence of having
been run over by a train. An inquest was
held by the coroner of Wyandotte county
and verdict of death from unknown
causes returned.
Frederick Sewers, the boys father was
notified at Wichita, where the body was
sent, together with lot of letters and pa
pers taken from It. For some reason Mr.
Sewers was inclined to suspect that posi-
bly, hi son had met with foul play and
when the box containing these letters and
papers were received by him, he turned it
over to two Wichita detectives, Messrs
Sutton and Wood. The letters were blood
stained and after examining them Mr.
Sewers said they told him it was very
evident the blood had been sprinkled on it
as it plainly showed it could not have
| soaked through the clothes. With this
clue to start with, Mr.. Sewers began an
investigation that has lasted for months
and ended when he presented the infor-
nation he had gained to the prosecuting
attorney.
Charles Sewers came to Kansas City
from Wichita September 90. 1897, and went
to reside with his grandmother at 1924
Charlotte street; the object of his coming
so his father states. was to he compan-
ion for his grandmother, whose husband
| had recently died. His uncle Charles
| Schattner. secured him a position in the
! law office Of Fred W. Griffin in the Hest
building. where he worked up 10 a couple
of days before his death. A few days be-
/ fore that occurred he expressed the desire
/ to go back TO Wichita, and his uncle
promised to buy his ticket for him Mon
! day, October 8, but wanted him to stay
until after the Priests of Pallas parade.
| Tuesday night. He agreed, but did not go
1 down town that night. as his heart had
/ been troubling him the night before, and
/ he was afraid the excitement might renew
the trouble. Mr.. Schattner came home
/ about midnight Tuesday and found the
. boy asleep IN bed, the last time ne was
seen until his BODY was found on the
track.

WILL DECIDE TODAY
Attorneys for Shea Arguing
for Continuance.
AFFIDAVITS ARE REQUIRED
Defense Claim important Wit
nesseS are Not Here,

Decisive action will be taken in the Pad
dy Shea case this morning. regarding the
motion for a continuance, which has been
hanging fire this week. The attorneys ar
gued the motion at some length yesterday
morning and Judge Dale took the matter
under advisement and will render his de-
cision this morning.
George Adams and r. r. VerInillion, at
torneys for the defense, contend that their
client is not ready for trial, owing to the
absence of two important witnesses. Ex-
Policeman Gamble and Anna Hanson are
the witnesses referred to by the defense
In yesterdays proceedings doctors Ger
tlfcate showing the condition of Officer
Gamble who is said to be lying on his
back in bed at a hotel in Enid, o. T., was
offered in evidence, but was not consid-
cred Of sufficient weight with the judge,
and he stated that he would require an affi-
davit from the physician covering the ILL
ness of Gamble Shea's attorneys wired
instructions to have the affidavit sent here
al once, and II is expected that the docu-
ment will reach here in time 70 be pre-
scented to the court this morning, and no
doubt will be given some consideration by
the judge in the granting of the desired
continuance.
The affidavit of Anna Whaley was used
to show that the Hanson girl could be
secured by proper effort on the part Of the
defendant.
A great deal Of local interest Is centered
in the case. and tbs thought that Judge
Dale will grant the continuance in order
to give Paddy Shea a chance for a fair
and impartial trial.

TOWN TOPICS. !"

The only reason that the farce-comedy
Town Topics" was rewritten this season
was to bring it up to date. Those who
saw it last year say that they cannot con-
ceive how it could be made any funnier.
more musical, or more attractive in any
way. There is reason in this argument
But, 1t must be remembered that there
are always new events startling the world,
to which reference can be made in play
Of this kind, and moreover that clever peo-
pie in Europe as well as America are con-
tinually inventing new sayings, new dra-
matte situa tons, and new quips and
cranks Of humor that everyone wants to
enjoy In the rewritten Town Topics"
viii be found the latest Paris novelties in
comedy, music and dancing to say moth
ing of some of the most daringly beautiful
costumes that the mind of man has ever
conceived. Messrs. World, Garnelle and
Mack, the managers, who also pay the
three principal comedy parts, say that
Town Topics is full of surprises. and
that every surprise is a pleasing one. AS
for the girls in the company-well, just
wait till you see them.

JOINED THE CHURCH
AchSah Willard Will Lead a
Better Life.
is PROSECUTED BY ST0SE
Because She Would Not Make
False Affidavit.

The state penitentiary is not considered
a very oongenfal place in which 20 reform
and seek religion, but it is just as good
place as. the Lord would have. Achsah
Nillard thought so, and before she left
the Lansing penitentiary recently she was
converted, joined the church and was
baptized.
Notwithstanding this, will Stose is en-
neavoring to have the girl apprehended
md again sent TO the penitentiary.
Mrs. D. H Martin. assistant matron OF
the penitentiary, has written letter TO
the authorities here, stating the above
facts. ard it is understood the letter con-
demns very severely the nefarious work
of one VIII Stose, who has made affidavit
duplicating Achsah Millard in another
theft in this city, simply because she re-
fused 10 swear TO such falsehoods as would
tend to secure for him a pardon. Mrs.
Martin says she observed the character
and conduct of the girl and says she Is
certain Achsah has reformed and will try
70 live a better life. She says Stose's afi-
davit is simply the result Of his chagrln
in not being able TO induce Achsah to
swear to a lie and that he is trying to per-
secute the girl because she, after being
brought into disgrace by him, decided 10
cut the acquaintance.
The AFFIDAVIT OF young Stose was re-
celved here yesterday and it was learned
from one who had seen il that the aftida-
VII was sworn to on the 10Th Of January,
lust after Achsah Willard had left prison.
The affidavit rehearsed the story Of his
relationship with Achsah and their subse-
ouent burglary. Stose says that Achsah
,roposed to steal a lot Of cigars. stating
that she could get a key 70 the building
and that on the night OF December Cd he
and Achsah went TO a building on Main
street between First and Douglas, and
stole 800 cigars, Achsan taking the lead.
and that the cigars were disposed of by
him and Ed. Northrup. Stose says he did
not tell %71is before because he desired 20
shield the girl.
The affidavit will be turned over 10 Pros
ecuting Attorney Amidon today and ne
will either act upon it and have Achsah
MilIard brought here for another TRIAL or
treat the matter as a dirty scheme OF
young Stose to prosecute the girl.
The crime for which VIII Stose and Ach-
sab MiIard were sent TO the penitentiary
was burglary and larceny. About year
ago the house Of Harry Kistler was broken
into and some furniture stolen. They were
convicted at the January term of court
and Stose was sentenced TO six years and
Achsah Willard to one year in the peni-
Tertiary. It is said that Achsah could
then have got off with a very light SEN
tence. but her infatuation for young Stose
Red her to play into the clutches of the
law In t4le hope of tightening his sentence.

accorded a refreshing treat last night in
the presentation of '"The Romance Of Coon

good and the audience seemed delighted
and were most liberal in their applause

good. The characters of Lem Stockwell
by Clayton Leygs, Diogenese Sharp by

exceedingly well. Miss Hallenger as Clyde
