Cedar Falls. Oct. 11.-Sheriff John
son, Of Butler county has received no
word Of the whereabouts of his miss
ing prisoner Bert Brannick, who es-
capped from the Jail some two weeks
ago. He was being held on the charge
of criminal assault on Miss Edna Peck
Of New Hartford. The county has
offered reward of $50 for his capture,
and the sheriff has added 500 more to
1T. The reason for allowing the man to
work in the yard was that the base
ment of the Jail had become unhealthy
and damp because of the rains. He was
hobbled with ball and chain when he
escaped from his guard, who left him
for a short time contrary to instruc-
tons from the sheriff.

Case Of Mrs. saraI, Kuhn Argued Be
fore Supreme Court.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct 11.-The supreme
court Friday listened to arguments for
a rehearing in the case of the State VS..
Sarah Kuhn, from Keokuk county, one
OF the few women in Iowa penitent.
iariees srving life sentences at the pres
emf time. The case is a most interest
ing one. The plea for q reopeling OF
the case was made by d. w. Hamilton
and Col. Mackey, OF Sigourney, and re-
sisted by Attorney General Mullan The
peculiar circumstances surrounding the
appeal make 1t almost certain that a
rehearing will be granted and probable
that new trial will be granted. Sarah
Kuhn was convicted OF putting poison
in the beer her husband drank few
hours before his death. The defense
claims that the evidence would have
quite as well shown that Kuhn. the
crippled shoemaker. put the poison In
the beer himself. There is feeling
that possibly Kuhn intended to Kill
both himself and his wife andhe missed
1T on the wife because she did not like
the taste of the beer and did not drink
as much as ne did. AT any rate after
Judge Waterman had prepared the
majority opinion Of the supreme court
affirming the lower courts decision
Judge Weaver, freshly on the supreme
bench, wrote scathing arraignment OF
the majority opinion and literally tore
20 tatters the arguments therein pre-
scented. 1t was soon after this that
Judge Waterman resigned from the
bench. Now a rehearing is asked of
the court and the arguments of the at
torneys for the convicted woman fol-
lowed closely the lines laid down in the
dissenting opinion of Judge Weaver. 1t
is reported that the defendant in the
case has nothing with which to pay
able lawyers and that the interest of
Mackey and Hamilton is purely volun-
tary and free. The case has attracted
attention alongside of the Mrs. Hossack
case which will be retired as soon as
the lawyers are able to get around to
1t.

Clinton, Oct. 11.-Belated pedestrians
on the north side of this city for the
past few nights, while hurying home
ward, have been dividing their time be-
tween trying to locate Perring's comet,
which is supposed to linger somewhere
in the northern sky, but which stub
bornly refused to be looked at for some
reason or other, and planning circuit
Gus route which will take them without
the territory of the woman in black, and
thus escape an encounter with that
much to be dreaded Individual If, in
deed, that earthly term may be applied
TO being possessing attributes SO ut
terly unearthly as does the mysterious
female who nightly roams the streets
of this city.
At night, when the moon has gone
down, she ventures forth upon the quiet
streets, arrayed in garments of sable
hue, which costume of hers has given
her the name by which. for the want
OF a better, she is commonly known.
And those who give ear to the stories
which little eccentricity doubtless makes
the stranger makes practice OF APP
preaching the nocturnal traveller from
the rear and thrusting her face over his
shoulder, to better scan his features,
which little ecentricity doubtless makes
the traveller in question trifie un-
comfortable for the time being. Fur
Their, they assert she is always armed
with a stout cudgel which fact does
not add to the mental equanimity OF the
victim of her attentions, or carries
handful Of stones, altho there are those
who scott at the last allegation, declar-
ing that the woman in black has but lit
tie need of weapons so crude in view of
the fact that she can appear and disap-
pear at will, and thus clearly possesses
power Others maintain
that the woman in black carries clean
bladed dagger, with which she will end
the terrestrial career of her victim when
she finds him. For the strange visitor
is credited with having quest. She
came here from parts unknOwn, so the
story goes, to search for some one who,
in the past, had wronged her cruelty;
but whether she traced him to this city
or selected Clinton as probable place
of refuge chosen by her intended VIC
tim, they can not say. She haunts the
vicinity of the railways and ventures
onto the three adjoining streets. tho
she rarely appears on Main street. be-
ing doubtless afraid of trouble on that
busy thoroughfare. The woman in black
has been the principal theme of con-
versation for the past few days.

Mystery Of the Murder Of Greek
Fruit Merchant at Perry
Cleared
SLAYER MAKES a CONFESSION
James Gresoses, While intoxicated
Makes Statements Which Lead to a
Full Confession Of His Terrible
crime-He Is Now Under Arrest
Story of the Murder.
Special to Times-Repuplican.

Special to Times Republican.
Perry, Oct. 1.-THE confession OF
James Gregoses made to the officers
here last evening clears up the mys-
| terry of the murder of GeorgefKalmu-
kos, who was partner of Gregoses In
the fruit business here.
Early last spring kalmukos body was
found near the Coon river, short dis
lance from Perry. He had been shot
and his head crushed in and marks Or
| his body showed that he had been
beaten with heavy weapon, presum-
ably his shotgun, for it was found be-
side him, the stock broken and tn,
barrel twisted.
The inability of Gregoses to explain
his whereabouts on the day that Kali
mukos went hunting and the fact that
it was known that they had quarreled,
led to the arrest of Gregoses on the
charge of murder. He was given a pre-
liminary examination at Perry and held
to the Dallas county grand jury with
out bail. The grand jury. after hearing
the testimony. came to the conclusion
it could not make a case against Gre
goses and the charge was ignored.
During the preliminary and While the
grand jury was considering the case u
brother OF the dead man came to Perry
to assist in the prosecution, and the
Greek consul, stationed at Chicago, saw
to it that Gregoses had competent
counsel to defend him and was present
in Dallas county during the court pro-
ceedinss.
The confession of Gregoses is COM
petent and tells how the crime was
committed, even to the smallest details.
The motive was a desire to get Kalnlu-
kos out of the way so that Gregoses
would have undisputed possession Of
their fruit and confectionery business,
which had come to be very profitable.
Gregoses was out on lark Thursday
night and drank a little more than WAS
good for him. While under the infiu-
ence of liquor he boosted of killing Kali
mukos and told how he did it, He was
arrested and Friday evening after he
had sobered up was told of the state
ments he had made. He reiterated
them. He will be prosecuted and his
confession. which is witnessed by al
number of persons, will be used in the
trial against him should he refuse to
plead guilty. 1t is fortunate that he
was not indicted. for with the testimony
before the grand jury he would never
have been convicted and a trial would
have been a bar to a prosecution under
the confession. As it is, he has moi
been placed under jeopardy and the
boards are clear for his prosecution. In
Perry the public has been divided in its
opinion as to the guilt or innocence Of

Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE supreme
court today in an opinion written by
the lower court in the case of the state
against the Glucose Sugar Refining
Company from Tana county for con-
Eliminating the water of the Iowa river.
The factory complained of is located at
Marshalltown in Marshall county and
! one point in the defense was that the
'rama court had no jurisdiction. The
court reviews the evidence and declares
that it was sufficient to support the Vel :
dict. In fact a good deal stronger than
| necessary. 1t is decided that thu, case
was triable in Tama county, because
the ordinary law of gravitatlon Is In
full force in both counties and that 1T
was reasonable to conclude that the tln-
purities in the river in Marshall coun.y
flowed down into Tama county. The
courts have jurisdiction in both coun-
ties. There was no error in a)ing TO
prove the corporate character of the
defendants, because the company APP
peared and pleaded as a corporation.
Neither was there prejudice in allowing
one witness to casually refer to the Fir
menich Manufacturing Company in his
testimony.
