MIR. 7. 7. Rodes, under whose direc.
ton evidence in the case was worked
up, was seen last evening at the
Planters Hotel and said: "We cop-
ferred on general matters and made 9
beginning In the way Of sitting and
arranging the mass OF evidence which
has been accumulated In the investi-
cation Of the case. The Globe Demo-
Graf has followed the case in a careful
and conservative manner and had the
developments from time to time, 30
that there 10 little more 10 be said at
this time than has appeared from day
to day in the columns Of your paper.
Our belief is that the defense will try
TO establish an abb. There fs no
question In our minds that the Jester
under arrest at our town is the Jester
who killed Gates in 1871, and we are
collecting evidence to establish this
and TO break down an abb II one is
attempted. He claims that his name
lie William Alexander Hill and that bis
mother married 3 man named Jester
when be was IS years old and that be
went by the name Of his stepfather
until be tried 10 get 3 pension. Al
though he enlisted under the name Of
Jester, be tried to get the pension, be
says, under the name Of Hill, but vas
unsuccessful. Our task has been 9
greater one than is generally sup
posed. In brief, we have to account
for every hour Of the mans time dur
ing = period Of twenty-eight years.
He killed Gates in January, 1871, was
arrested the following May, and es-
capped from jail In January, 1872. We
have to account for the time since his
escape up to the time he was arrested
q few weeks ago. have not allowed
any outside interference In the coIlec-
ton Of evidence, but have Travelled
through the country myself and have
collected the necessary evidence my
self.
"The case has been greatly strength
ened instead Of weakened BY time.
When Jester was hrst arrested peo-
pie were slow to appear against him,
and many who bad information were
unwilling to be witnesses. This dIfi-
Guilty has largely been removed. It
reported that Jester had disap-
peaFed IN the territory, and there vas
4 report that he had been killed down
there. These reports had the effect
Of lo~osening the tongues OF people,
and they told ali they knew. Nov
that he l. again In the clutches Of the
law ali this evidence is obtalnabls."

When Gilbert Gates left his home
to 20 to Emporia, Kan, he went to
move a family by the name OF Hazel
hurst, and the family has been located
since TESTERS arrest. A number Of
people have been found who win tes-
tify to the fact Sles.tsester passed
tafAE5 Paris theuoVIuftsf the kni-
ing, driving both his wi team and
that which Gates had owned. The
fact was impressed upon them by the
fact that Jester had with him a butfa-
10 calf. The father Of the murdered
man is still living, nearly 80 years old,
and it is he who traced Jester from
Indiana to Emporis, Kan, and arrest
ed him with his son's team and cloth-
ing still in his possession In 1871. The
father will be ct the trial to testify
against his sons slayer. There lie one
link missing in the testimony. The
body Of the murdered man was never
found. An effort will be made, how
ever, to have the lapse of time supply
the coFpns deficit.
Gov. johnson said that he supposed
the case would be tried some time in
September. 1t will be called in the
Audrain circuit court on the first
Monday in September. II the case is
taken back to Monroe county for
trial, there viii be come delay. The
trial Of the Ease win take about 9
months time, and will probably be
one of the celebrated cases in the his
tory of the jurisprudence Of the state,
especially from the standpoint Of cir
cumstantial evidence.

Fron the 81. LoaI. olObs.p.noonL

From the st. Loais Globe-DenocraL
A conference Of the attorneys for
the prosecution In the case Of Alex
ander Jester, charged with having
murdered Gilbert Gates, between
Willow Grove and Paris, Monroe
county, Mo-, January rs, 1871, was
held in the Office Of ex-Gov. Charles
P. johnson Saturday. There were
present ex-Gov. johnson, William 8.
Forrest, Of Chicago; I. T. Rodes,
prosecuting attorney for Monroe
county, and ]. Il. Rodes, his brother
and law partner, being all Of the at
torneys for the prosecution in the
case. Mr.. Forrest IL one OF the best
known criminal lawyers IN Chicago,
and was one of the attorneys In the
Cronin and Coughlin cases in that
city. He has been retained by John
W. Gates, brother Of the murdered
man, and president Of the wire and
nail trust, as has also ex-Gov. John
son.
The conference began early in the
forenoon yesterday and continued
throughout the DAY. 1t was the first
meeting that the attorneys had had
and the condition of the case was
gone over in detail. Before Jester
escaped in 1871 there had been q
change Of venue taken and the Ease
was sent to Audrain county, and
there it must come up now, at Mex
leo. The ~advisability Of taking the
case back to Monroe county and try
ing 1t at Paris was discussed at the
meeting yesterday, bat there was no
decision arrived at on that point.
Before Jester escaped he had been
indicted and the case placed on the
docket of the Audrain lcircuit court.
Gov. johnson said last night that
the counsel had been really surprised
at the amount Of testimony secured.
The evidence taken before the justice
Of the peace at the preliminary exam
nation held in May, 1871, vas found
last week and this will secure for the
prosecution the evidence Of nearly all
the witnesses who have died. The
Supreme Court has held that where a
witness has died the testimony that
he gave at the preliminary examine
tion may be introduced after proof Of
death. Gov. johnson says that, In
addition to this testimony OF the dead,
the prosecution will be able to bring
forward about 300 witnesses for the
purpose Of proving various facts.

THE ELECTIONS
IN PORTO RICO
Republicans Defeat FedAralists-The Ma
tives Are AK ously Awaiting
the Action Congress.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
San Juan, Dec. 1.-THE elections in
Porto Rico are progressing slowly. The
republicans carried Ponce on Dec 8
by about LOO majority.
According to the census of 1897 there
are more than $4,000 people in the
Ponce district, but of that number only
4,466 are eligible to vote, the right of
suffrage being limited to taxpayers
and professional men, about 400 OF
that number going to the polls. The
republicans claim that San Juan will
give them a tremendous majority and
that the election throughout the island
will result in an overwhelming federal
defeat.
The elections will last for atsleast two
months more, there being still more
than As towns to vote.
The people are looking forward anx-
iously to the action of congress on the
question Of civil government. Many ex-
pect that Porto Rico will be immedi-
ately given a system of self-govern-
ment of the islands. while others take
more conservative view of the sub
ject The Boletin Mercantil, comment
ing on the subject, says:
THE form Of civil government for
Porto Rico will undoubtedly be the one
recommended by President Mckinley in
his annual message to congress with
the exception Of the highest office, the
appointee for which place Is not known
yet. the appointments viii be distribut-
ed among the most capable Porto Ri
cans and Americans"
