morning and washed the blood from
the AK and returned the rifle to the
house. She also admitted all the sub
terfuges she had made use of subse-
quent to the killing to conceal the deed,
ncluding the letter to her sister, Jo-
sephine, the burning of the rawhide
rope, the removal of the pistol to her
own room and various and conflicting
explanations to neighbors and detec-
tives. All this she did for concealment
and said the reason she did not dis
close the facts sooner was that she was
afraid to, as she feared an unfair trial
and had no one to advise her.
The woman went into recital Of
De Lartigue's alleged cruelty to her.
She disclaimed any malice against her
husband but said she could not bring
herself to give herself up to the au-
thorities, although she felt justified in
the act, and she had pursued all the
methods she had of diverting suspicion
to conceal crime of which she felt
justified in committing.
A bitter contest is now being waged
over the question Of whether the de-
ceased was killed by bullets from a
firearm in the hands Of the defendant
or by an ak, as she has stated. The
theory of a blunt weapon is the only
one consistent with the plea of self de-
Tense, for IL killed by gun shots, as
alleged by the state, De Lartigue was
shot from behind, which fact disposes
of the idea of self defense.
The defense has demanded that the
court order the body of the deceased
exhumed, and that the skull be cyan
ined by disinterested physicians to de-
termine the exact character OF the
wounds.

aid, Chicago.
High Treasurer John A. Limback

High Examiner-Dr. ]. p. Smyth,

The fight for the high treasurership
of the Catholic Order of Foresters, was
made the more bitter from the fact
that there were two Iowa candidates in
the field. with High Treasurer Callen,
of Milwaukee, a candidate for re-elec-
ton. The result of the contest meant
much, not only in regard to the honor
conferred by the election. but equally
so to the community represented by
the successful candidate. The high
treasurship meant a great deal for
Cedar Rapids. 1t means great in
crease, thousands of dollars, to the
postoffice receipts, and 1T means 4
heavily increased business for the
banks.
The Cedar Rapids delegation worked
hard for the election of Mr.. Limback.
and are deserving of congratulation on
the success of their efforts. No better
choice could have been made. John
Limback has all the requisites for fill
ing commercially the high position to
which he has been elected.
BY his election Cedar Rapids be-
comes the center of the financial world
