Yesterdays Closing Testimony.
1t was varied lot of testimony that

tions existing between the two defend-
ants for the two or three years prior to
the enactment of the tragedy at Mace

The first witness called in the morn
ing was Mrs. August Burwash, BY the

Direct Communication With the
Home Government-lmportant From
a Military Standpoint.

Washington, May by July there
VII be direct cable communication be-
tween the United States and the Phil

by Vice President Ward of the Postal
Gable Company during an extended
conference with the assistant secretary
of the navy Thursday.
Since the cable was opened to Homo

THEY GILL N MURDER
Coroner's Jury Renders That
Verdict on the Body Found
at Tara
MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE CASE
Body Of an Unknown Man Who Was
Supposed to Have Fallen Thru Coal
chutes to His Death, Has Marks of
Blows Dealt Apparently With Some
Blunt Instrument.
Special to Times-Republlcan.

Special to Times Republican,
Fort Dodge. May I've. the coro-
ner's jury, find that said unknown man
came to his death on the Illinois Cen
trail right-of-way mile west of Tara,
Iowa by being struck III i the head by
a blunt instrument in the hands of some
unknown person" reads the verdict of
the coroner's jury sitting at the inquest
held over the body of an unknown man
found dead near a coal chute in the
Illinois Central yards at Tara yester-
day morning. Just how the man came
to his death, why he was killed and at
just what time he met his fate are
questions that have yet TO be answered.
Mel Rooney, a companion of the dead
man UP to a few hours preceding his
death, but who claims to be ignorant of
his friends name, is the only person
upon whom suspicion can fall, but he
has been released for reason of the fact
That the story told BY him at the inquest
was straightforward and could not be
shaken in the smallest detail The tes-
timany relative to the mans death, as
giveE before the coroner's jury, is sub
stantially as follows:
Rooney and the dead man had been
companions for the past two weeks, al
tho the former did not know the others
name. only knowing him by the title of
Dutch given him because he was a
German and had lived III this country
only five years. The men had been
working at Clarksville en- the Great
Western and with twenty other labor
ers went TO Clarion on Wednesday and
came to Fort Dodge Thursday to draw
their pay. Rooney and his companion
drey their pay Thursday. became in
toxicated ard left the city aboard a
freight train the same evening, bound
for Omaha. y AT Tara they We're put off
the traie ana according 10 the story told
by Rooney started to walk to the next
station. BY mistake they left the main
track and walked to a coal chute, which
1 ;i,e5 aseenfled. Rooney, who aas abou,t
thirty PAGES in the lead. reached the END
Of the chute and partly realizing where
he was stopped and looked back to see
his companion alive for the last time,
the latter then being at about the mid
die of the chute. Rooney then laid down
and fell asleep, Dat awoke in. a few
hours and without again seeing his
friend went up to the depot, where he
spent the remainder of the night.
Fearing, he said, that his conlpan-
ion had fallen thru the chute, in the
morning he went out to look for him
and found the body on the ground just
opposite the middle of the chute.
Papers found on the dead mans per-
son give the names of Carl Knoch and
Louis Meyer, the latter, it is supposed,
being identical with the same name on
the Great Western pay rool The mo-
tive for the murder if such it was, is
unknown, as on the body was found
$3.45. while Louis Meyer, the Great
Western laborer was paid only 81, and
If the dead man is Louis Meyer it APP
pears evident that he was net killed for
purpose of robbery.

He who represented the nation with
whom he negotiated, when he after
wards gave to the world his account OF
the transaction declared: The conse-
ouerces of the cession of Louisiana
