Her Last Alleged Victim Was a

AUTOPSY GIVES CLUE TO HORROR
No Conceivable Motive for the sus.
pected Grimes Is Disclosed-one of
the Most Fiendish Crimes, if
Charges Are True, unearthed.

Dayton, O., Oct. Mrs. B. A. Wit
wer, widow residing here, was ar
rested by the police at the instigation

tion into serious charges. Mrs. Wit
wer, the police say, is suspected of

der mysterious circumstances. The

tins was sudden and all strangely
alike. The prisoner is, AZ years of age.

ed crimes is disclosed. Drugs found

FOUR KILLED AND FOUR
WOUNDED In A FIGHT
TIME HAS PASSED.

Des Moines, Oct. AT mid
night Saturday the time
for the filing of nom
ination papers of candidates for
state, legislative and judicial Of
fees expired. The office of the
secretary of state was kept open
until 12 o'clock by Deputy Secre-
tary Hites, to enable belated pa
pers to be duly entered for place
on the ticket. Republican county
conventions We're held Saturday
in Tama and Johnson counties and
the papers from both were brought
in by special messengers.
There are five state tickets duly
on file-the republican, democratic,
prohibition, populist and the social
ist. The republicans have not. .on,y
ly filed nomination papers for sv-
cry senatorial district in which a
senator is to be elected twenty
one in number-but also have a
complete list of representative
nominees for the two judicial dis
tricts in which there are vacancies
to be filled.
The democrats have fled nomi-
nation papers for all the senator
ial districts where there are not
holdovers and for all the represent
ative districts but seven. The dis
tricts in which they have no rep
resentative nominees are Adair,
Butler, Guthrie, Sac, Hardin, Nit
chell and Story. They have no
judicial papers filed. The prohi-.
bitionists have nominated candi-
dates for senator and representa-
tive in a small percentage of the
districts.

INTEREST IN SCHLEY COURT
CONTINUES fUNABATED
: iPoRTANT RULING.
Moines, Oct. THE SUI
court has reversed Judge
! Weaver. candidate for cleo

Weaver, candidate for cleo
~ 10 the supreme bench this
year, in an opinion which is cal
culated to cause greater care to be
taken in the handling and sale of
gasoline. The opinion hinges on
section 2505 of the code which
places restrictions upon the sale
of gasoline. The section in ques-
tion provides that no gasoline
shall be sold, given away or deliy-
cred to any person without the
package containing it being mark
ed plainly, designating Its con-
tents. The case is that brought
by the mother of a 15-year-old
girl who was badly burned by a
mistaken use of gasoline. The
girls father had carried a jug to
the store and ordered it filed with
kerosene, but the clerk filed the
order with gasoline and failed to
label it. The girl put the gasoline
into an oil stove and was burned
in the explosion which followed.
The lower court held that the girl
was responsible through her faith
er for using the gasoline, as it
was not established beyond a
doubt that the father ordered the
material be used. This holding is
reversed on the ground that the
statute especially provides that
all sales of gasoline must be label
ed before they are delivered to
any person, and the failure to do
so constitutes violation of statu-
tory requirement.
