Special to The Journal.
New Ulm, Mimi, June 27.-Enough of
Mrs Tankes confession has leaked out
to show that she was the person who
did the shooting and planned the whole
scheme of the murder Of John Wellner.
What has been told goes to show that af-
ter William Beeraugel had called at the
Wellner farm to take Tanaze to the dance,
Wellner went into the field and got an
other load of hay and that Mrs. Wellner
was helping unload the hay in, the barn.
The load was driven into the barn, and
while the two were upon the hay, Mrs
Wellner shot her husband and she and
Tanke took him from the load, removed
his trousers and shoes and when 1t was
dark carried him to the place where he
was afterwards found. She then hid the
revolver and pocketbook and watch in the
smokehouse and when the frost was out
of the ground in the spring she dug a
hole in the =barnyard and buried the ar
ticles - r ,..' ..'.. >r. ri
1t is this spot which the defense has
been trying to locate. Eight men with
spades and horse scrapers have uncovered

STOOD IN WITH SAFE ROBBERS
Detectives Malone and Bracket
Face This Nasty Charge.

With air of assumed Indifference,
Detective Fred Malone listened to the
reading Of an indictment before Judge
Simpson at noon charging him with being
an accessory to a felony after the fact.
An indictment was also returned against
Detective Charles F. Bracket on the
same count. AS Mr.. Bracket saw fit to
leave the city hurriedly for parts un-
known week ago, there was no response
to the reading of the indictment against
him.
At the request of Fred Ayres, his attor-
ney, Malone was given until Monday to
enter plea or a demurrer to the indict-
ment. He was admitted to bonds in the
sum of $500 and accompanied by his at
torney and Deputy Sheriff 10th, left the
courthouse in search Of sureties, which
he announced would be Immediately forth

The indictment accuses Malone and
Brackett with being accessories to the
cracking of safe in the Office Of the
Pabst Brewing company, 616-62S Six
