has yet been heard respecting the
whereabouts of Milton A. Mory, the
missing cashier of the National Bank

IT MAY FREE HIM
Louis Jaquith Is Able to
Substantiate Story Told
By James Braddie.
SAYS HE DIDN'T SHOOT
Alleged Deathbed Confession of a
Man Who Was Involved In Row
CorrobOrated BY Convict.
Without knowledge of the Confess
sion Jaquith Enters Into Sub
stantial Details.

South Bend. Ind, Oct. 19.-Louis
Jaquith says he is innocent of the
murder of Officer Cooper of South
Bend and although he does not di-
rectly accuse James Braddie who last
week created sensation by making
an alleged confession in letter 10
Governor Durbin to having commit
ted the crime, he does SO by inplica-
ton. He says Braddie was the only
man who had a weapon except Cooper.
Jaquith was taken from his cell in the
state prison on an order from Warden
Shideler and brought before the lat
ter. He was not shown Braddie's con-
fession until he had been closely ques-
toned by the warden. With reference
to the interview Warden Shideler said:
"Jaquith was brought into my Office.
He was questioned by me before he
was made aware of any confession.
He admitted that the three-Ragan.
Jaquith and Braddie-had broken into
the saloon. He said that Raglan picked
up a revolver belonging to the saloon
keeper, handed it to Braddie, and that
when Cooper laid hands on him
<Jaquith) the other two interfered. In
the fight which followed Jaquith was
knocked down with a club in the
hands of Officer Cooper. Just at that
time a shot was fired, followed by a
second shot.
Before he was shown the confess
sion he said Braddie was in or about
Buffalo, from which place the confes-
sion had been mailed TO Governor Dur
and says he is in prison because of his
previous bad character. He claims
that the finding of Braddie will relieve
him of his life sentence, although he
admits that he should have been sent
enced for burglary. Jaquith is a
model prisoner. and seems to be put
ting forth an effort to make the best
of bad situation

Indianapolis. Oct. 19.-Mayor Charles
G. Covert of Evansville is here in
vestigaring a subject of great interest
TO southern Indiana. So far the de-
yelopInenr in the construction of inter-
urban roads has been confined almost
exclusively to northern Indiana Now
two companies. composed Of reliable
gentlemen. have appealed To the
Evansville board of works for inter-
urban franchises. They propose. re
spectiveIy. 20 construct lines To Boone
vile and Princeton. Mayor Covert is
investigating in very thorough man
ner the interurban question and has
taken excursions over several roads
entering Indianapolis. Yesterday he
went to Greenfield over the interurban
line The companies seeking EN-
trance TO our city have, as usual in
such cases. submitted propositions
that are impossible in almost every
DETAIL he said. land the board of
works will come back with counter
propositions. There is a tendency on
the part of towns in our part of the
state TO discourage any enterprise that
would take trade from them to Evans
VILE The merchants of Greenfield
tell me- however, that the interurhan
railway not only does not divert trade
to indianapolis. but increases their
own trade and | shall use their argu-
ment when | get home" 1t is ex-
pected that the construction of these
interurban lines out of Evansville Will
