A YOUNG SNINDLER
David Dewitt Seventeen Years
Old in the Tolls.

David Carl Dewitt, II years of age,
is in the hands of the Oskaloosa police
and it is likely he will have consider
able difficulty in getting clear of the
charges that are laid to his door.
1t is claimed that he came to the
county not long ago with his father
from jefferson. The father has claim
ed this city as his residence and the
son had been travelling in and out of
the city for some weeks.
Monday morning the young man
approached Cashier o. E. Lofland, of
the Oskaloosa National Bank with a
check for S26 so, supposed to have
been drawn by Siebel & Co. Recent
bogus checks made against that firm
came to the mind of the cashier like
a thunderboltgand he stepped to the
'phone to call Siebel & Co. The young
man turned upon his heel with the
remark that he would be back in a
few minutes. He crossed the street
to where couple of companions had
been waiting for him and the trio
escaped down the street. The police
we're Immediately notified of what
had occurred and were on the trail of
the young fellow. Trains were guard
ed but the fellow took to the track by
foot and started for Evans. The
police heard of the youth and that he
had doubled his tracks and had re-
turned and taken an Iowa Central
train for Grinnell. Here Marshall T.
D. Munger, of that city, had been
notified and he was nabbed by that
official and brought to this city.
Cashier O. E. Lofland of the bank
and Geo. E. Brown Of the Seible mill
completely identified the fellow.
A Post ONCE Robber Also.
In addition to the above this same
young fellow presented a bag con-
tanning $50 pennies to the Savings
bank a few days ago and received
currencyifor the amount 1t is now
certain these pennies were stolen
from the post Office at Taintor that
was robbed on the II inst. The lad
had been at the Siebel mill and had
had access to the safe and in some
manner had extracted a number of
notes from the safe. He had on his
clothes when captured notes and
forged i che cks to the amount of
$359.00. He had presented himself
at the Frarkel bank one day last
week and showing a note for a
hundred and fifty dollars unsigned
asked If the name of certain well
knownEbusiness man would be good
on that note as An endorser. He was
told that the name of the person
would be all right He stated that
he was going to sell his team and
that the purchaser had agreed to
make payment in a note endorsed
by this business man. Now if be
endorses the note will you give me
the money on the note? was next
asked. We would first have to know
that the note was all right answered
the banker and with this the young
man left the bank.
The defendant was arraigned be
fore Justice Baugh and his bail
| placed at $1,000 90,

CUMMINS IS ILL.,
Compelled to Retire From Cam
paign Duties.

Des Moines, Oct. 20. Attending
physicians this afternoon insist that
Mr.. Cummins must remain in bed I'M
til his illness subsidies. There is
possibility he canfill his date in Mus
catine, Wednesday night, but it ia
doubtful. He was compelled to give
up his campaign duties and he ar.
rived in Des Moines Saturday night.
Since then he has passed most of his
time at his home on West Grand
avenue, recuperating from the effects
of the hard and fatiguing campaign
he has undergone. Aside from his
voice, which is in quite serious con-
dition, Mr.. Cummins is in fairly good
form.

MAY BE DEAD.
Killed by the BrigRnds-InfOr-
nation Unsatisfactory.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 30.-In govern.
ment circles at Sofia the impression
appears to be that Miss Stone is
dead. Measures are being taken by
Consul General Dickinson and NJ
Bakhmetief. Mr.. Dickinson is trying
to learn definitely whether she is
alive or not.
Constantinople, Oct. 3O.-Spencer
Eddy, secretary of the United States
legation here, and w. w. Peet, treas
urer of the American mission at Con.
stantinople, had long conference op
the subject of Miss Stone Tuesday
The information from the mission.
aries who are near the brigands' re.
treat is far from satisfactory.
London, Oct. 3O.-"It is officially
stated that the United States lega
ton in ConstantinOple has opened di-
rect negotiations with Miss Stones
captors," says a dispatch from Sofa
to the Daily Telegraph.
Washington, Oct. 30.-The state de-
partment has been advised by its
agents in Constantinople and Sofia
that cOmmunica ton has been estab.
lished with Miss Stone. No details are
furnished.
No intimations have reached the
state department that Miss Stone is
dead, as appears to be the impression
in government circles at Sofia. The
officials have no additional news to
make public regarding the case.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
An Iowa Liquor Law SO Held by Judge
Wheeler.

Clarinda, Oct. 29.-Judge Wheeler,
in the district court yesterday, de-
clared unconstitutional the law passed
by the Twenty-eighth General AS
sembly prohibiting the sale of liquor
shipped into Iowa from other states
in original packages. Under this law
liquor agents from Omaha who COW
cred southwestern Iowa were arrest
ed and fined in several counties. The
Law and Order League of Iowa has
pushed the prosecution of the alleged
offenders. The agents combined to
secure a ruling on the constitutional
ity of the law, setting up as grounds
of unconstitutionality that it inter
fered with Interstate commerce. The
case will probably be appealed, and
the league members say they will
carry it to the United States Supreme
Court

Statement of Autopsy.

The autopsy was completed shortly
before noon, when the surgeons issued
the following brief statement:
1.-THE autopsy was made by Mr.. Edward
A. Spitzka, of New York, under the i'm
mediate supervision and direction of DR..
Carlos f. Macdonald, of New York, and
DR.. John Germ, prison physician. The
autopsy occupied over three hours and en-
braced a careful examination of all the
bodily organs, including the brain. The
examination revealed a perfectly healthy
state of all the organs, including the brain,

Of resistance. That is a little more than
would be given by a larger or stouter man
where the current could have more chance

ton as l have ever operated at in all my
experience"
Rev. Cordelo Herrick, chaplain of
the prison, was in the death chamber
ready for any call thai might be made
for his services. He was not wanted
by the prisoner, however, and sat
quietly in the rear of the chamber
throughout the execution.
The clothing and personal effects of
the prisoner were burned, under d.
rection of Warden Mead, shortly after
the execution.
Brain Was Normal.
Naturally almost the entire atten-
ton of the physicians assigned to hold
the autopsy was directed towards dis
covering, if possible, whether the as
sassin was in any way mentally ire
sponsible. The autopsy was conduct
ed by DR.. Carlos f. Macdonald, E. A.
Spitzka and Prison Physician Germ.
The top of the head was sawed off
through the thickest part of the skull,
which was found to be of normal thick
ness, and it was the unanimous agree
ment of the microscopical eXamina-
tion that the brain was normal or
slightly above normal. This demon
