MUST FACE HIS CONFESSION
Loveswar'S Admission of Guilt Al
lowed as Evidence to Jury
at stargis.

sTURGIS, S. D., Aug. 1~-(special TeIe-
gram.)-In the Loveswar murder trial for
killing Puck and ostrander. the state has
been putting in evidence for two days that
eneirlces the defendant with q chain OF cir
eumstances from which there Is no escape.
Tn final blow to any possible hope the
defendant might have entertained was ad-
ministered when Judge Rice on a full hear
ing by the court decided that the confession
which the defendant made to Sheriff Smith
and DR., Mesloy had been made by Loveswar
freely and voluntarily. This decision al
lows every detail of the confession to 20
to the Jury and the confession in It's en-
tirety was proved to the jury this morning.
The $40 check bearing Puck's name has
been shown by Cashier Schneider Of Rapid
City and Albert Puck. brother Of the muir
dered man. to be a forger.
The defendants counsel has abandoned
all hope OF clearing their man and II Is
rumored that his counsel advised him to
plead guilty and throw himself upon the
mercy Of the court in the hope OF getting
q life sentence instead Of the death penalty.
The state will close its evidence today
and It is believed that the defendant will
not go on the stand to dispute The testi-
mony OF DR.. Mcsloy and sherif Smith. It
was the prompt and effective work Of these
men that has enabled the state 70 practi-
eally NIX the guilt OF this crime upon

GENERAL Smith WILL ATTEND
Much-TaIked of Army Man Promises
to Visit the Reunion
oD This Month.

The members OF the general committee
having in charge the arrangements, for the
coming reunion in this city Of the National
Society of the Army OF the Philippines
and all others interested were made happy
late yesterday afternoon when Congressman
Walter /. Smith, chairman Of the com
mittee on speakers. received a telegram
from Major General Jacob Smith, stating
that he would be here at the reunion and
in compliance with the request Of the COM
mittee would speak at the big meeting on
the evening Of the 18th Of August. General
Smith has Just landed at San Francisco
from the Philippines. He is one of the
most widely known and talked about figures
in connection with the whole Philippine
matter and the promoters OF the reunion
feel that they have in him a great draw
ing card.
AS is we'll known by even the school
children OF the land General Smith is the
ohicer who issued the famous kill and
burn" order to Major Littleton T. w. Wal
Ter in connection with the ~Iatter's cam
paign in the province Of samar. For this
be was court-martialed and later. on the
presidents review OF the case, the general
was retired from active service in the
army. The order given by General Smith
~ NAoJOh NoAOI was IL buDlCCL OI more
serious debate In congress in connection
with the Philippine civil government legis-
lation than any other incident and some
Of the Standardization senators gave to
General Smith the sobriquet of HELL
Roaring Jake" In view OF this extraor-
binary position occupied by General Smith
in the Philippine matter the announcement
Of his coming to the reunion win arouse
more interest than any other feature OF
the gathering SO far secured. 1t is antici-
pated that II he says anything at all It
will be something interesting aud the peo-
pie want to see and hear him.
DR.. Donald Macrae. president OF The
Iowa Society Of the Army Of the Philip
pines. who is working hard for the success
OF the reunion. addressed a letter to Gov
ernor cummins yesterday requesting that
the battalion Of the National Guard prom
ised by the governor for the occasion be
sent with forty rounds Of ammunition for
use In the sham battle. II this ammunition
cannot be secured in this way the COM
mittee may have some trouble In getting
II from other sources. To begin with Il
is expensive-s27 per 1000 rounds-and
early delivery upon order Is not certain.
DR.. Macrae also asked the governor 70
order that the Fifty-hrst Iowa Rsgimental
band be ordered to attend the encampment
with the battalion OF militiamen.
The committee having in charge the
finance for the reunion reports good prog
ress in raising funds. It is estimated tina
It will require about $4,000 to do the hand

city are going to see that there is no
