Murder and Commits Suicide

Yesterday afternoon about 4
O'Clock, at Aala, rear Of St. Louis
College, VIM. s. Meyer attempted
to kill his wife, a slim and frail Ha-
waiian woman, by shooting at her.
He is q German and is a well-borer
in the employ OF the McCandless
Bfothers. Their relations haye not
been OF tho best, he being drunk
most of the time, and some time ago
he was fned $25 for assault and bat
terry on his wife
They had trouble on Thureday
night, 40 it ia said, aud he threaten
cd to kill her, which he tried to car
ny out yes erday afternoon. He
fred two shots at his wife, he being
at the time crazsd with drunk, but
she was miraculously ssved by her
presence Of mind 10 striking his
b and upward and then wrestling
with him for the possession OF the
weapon. She fell down at both
shots, clinging to her husbands
knees. 1t was close call, and the
powder burned hole 10 the sleeve
OF her dress. She was dszed at the
second shot, and her husband think
ing that he had flushed her, raised
the pistol to his head and fred
His hand shook and the ball pierced
his neck
As soon cs Mrs. Mayer got a
chance to get away, she got into a
hack and drove to the Polcs Station
to enter complaint against her
husband. When she had left, Meyer
proceeded 10 their house and there
blew out his brains. And when the
| Police arrived on the scene, he was

the brain, the result OF a gun'hot
wound, caused by bullet discharg-
ed out of revolver he'd in he
hand OF the said Wm. Meyer, said
shooting being ilnicted with sui
cidal intent"
In Mrs. Meyers opinion her hus-

shooting took place. He had at
other times threatened to shoot
himself. D ceased was about 43
years OF age, and leaves his wife a

During the trial OF Wm. Kamaka-
wiwoole yesterday afternoon, when
the prosecution had rested its case,
defendants attorney moved for
verdict of acquittal on the ground
that it had not been shown that the
goods were stolen or that they had
been conn ected with the defendant,
and for all the evidence showed he
may have purchased them or re-
ceived them from one Of McIuerny's
clerks. fter long argumsnt in which
Assistant Deputy Attorney. General
Douthitt vigorously combated the
motion the court sustained it, and
directed the jury to return a verdict
OF not guilty on the ground that it
had not been shown that the goods
were stolen, aud the government
had failed to establish the fact of
the larceny.
After this came a tiff for the
possession OF the properly. The
court suggested that the property
should be left 10 possession of the
clerk, having been introduced in
evidence. Mr., Oouthitt cont .nded
that the goods belonged to Nc
Inerny aud should not be delivered
to the defendant, while Mr., Robert.
son stated that the jury bad acquit
ted the boy and hs was entitled to
his property.
Judge Gear eventually settled the
matter by requiring the defendant
to receipt for the trunk con. aiming
the goads, aud tho latter with a
friend carried the property eff be
tween them. The court held that Il
McInerny wanted the property civil
action for their recovery would be
necessary.

District Court to Supreme Court
Says He Had No Fair Trial.

fFrom Mondays Dauy.l
The following signed statement by
Dr. Mark Vance, relative to his recent
troubles, was handed to the Courier
this morning with the request that it
be printed:
Much has been said in the papers OF
the city regarding the Vance case,
nearly all of which has carried the
| idea that the subject has but one side
The sensational articles printed in
one paper in particular, presented the
case always to suit the individual opin
ion Of the editor without investiga
ton of any facts, accepting theories
and statements Of sympathizers Of
families who thought they were wrong
| ed.
In nearly all Of the articles com
| menting on the case, statements have
been made which seemingly carried
the idea, that of the guilt of the accus
ed there could be no question.
If there was a favorable circum-
stance to the accused brought out it
seemed to be purposely avoided and
that which would be calculat-
ed to court favor with {
| public mind in which the accused hat
already been tried and found guilty of
all that was charged, which in itself
was too ridiculous to be considered by
a reasoning mind, together with much
more that was absurd and unreason
able-a verdict based on street gossip
and hearsay.
Prior to a hearing of the case before
a competent court where some facts
might be presented and properly con
sidered, it was beneath the dignity of
a gentleman, who, alone, had the con
seriousness Of his absolute innocence
to make any reply of a public charac
ter, or take any notice of such biased

public opinion regarding the case,
evidently had more to do with the
forming of an opinion by the Jurors
than the evidence introduced.
in the opinion of large number of
the prominent attorneys of Wapello
county bar, the court was in error
in ruling on one, at least, of the i'm
portant points bearing on the case. A
motion for new trial was introduced
and overruled by the court. / have ap-
pealed the case and propose to see If
the supreme court of Iowa will uphold
such injustice and blight the profess
sional and moral character of an inno-
cent man, just on the threshold of
what he has tried to make and which
promised to be career of useful and
valuable services to a small portion of
mankind, on such insufficient and I'M
certain testimony, as is now a matter
of court record.
Witness admitted that she might
have been mistaken and that she saw
nothing.
One important question asked was:
might it not have been piece of cot
ton held between the thumb and finger
| of OPERATOR" Witness replied, cit
might have been"
Defense was able to show beyond a
reasonable doubt that that was what
did actually take place. Defendant
demonstrated that after the dental
chair had been adjusted to the size of
the patient and in the position indicat-
ed by the witness herself, that the
range of movement possible in the
chair in that condition would have rem
dered it physically impossible to have
accomplished the act charged.

because know am innocent and in

ter of cost it would be much cheaper
for me to discharge the sentence pass
ed upon me by this court, even though
it is the extreme penalty in such cases,
than to carry the case to the supreme
court
| My prosecutors have accomplished
my professional ruin no matter how
the case is decided and leave them
to the enjoyment of the exquisite
pleasure of that consummation, to-
gether with the happy contemplation
| of a no less certain result as they drink
the dregs of revenge in the undesir.
able notoriety which will follow to the
later years of the lives Of their prec-
ious daughters whom they have drag
ged into the disgraceful affair from
misapprehension and misinterpreta-
ton of strictly legitimate, common
professional practice, together with
sympathetic kindness as a means to
that end.
/ am going away from here, to re-
turn at the order of the court, when
I expect to establish my innocence of
the charge in the other cases under
which I stand indicted.

Now that the state deputy fish and
game wardens are taking so much in
terest in the fishing along the Des
Moines in spite af the fact that Com.
missioner George A. Lincoln's appro-
priation has not yet made it's appear
ance, people are beginning to inquire.
before they do much fishing, just what
are the laws that affect the wielder of
the rod and line.
Strictly speaking, the man who fish.
es with rod on which he has but two
hooks or two rods with one hook each
is secure from the vengeance of the
law, no matter If he spend his entire
time along the river. AS soon, how.
ever, as he commences taking more
liberties with the state some of the
agents of that great commonwealth
are liable to step into the game and
call halt.
A Courier subscriber recently adj
dressed a letter to this Office, asking
whether it Is unlawful to have trot
line in the Des Moines river at this
time. Inquiry reveals the fact that it
is not unlawful between May Is and
December / to have such a line half
