Letter Which Played an Import
ant Part In Slifer Murder
Case Has Disappeared
FROM THE RECORDS
Note Written by the Wife of Young
Sifer in Which She Announced Her
Intention to Commit Suicide Has
Disappeared From Court Records of
Case.
snecinl to Times Republican,

Iowa Falls, Nov 24.--The report IN
circulation in this part of the state ioi
several weeks past to the effect tnA'
some Of the evidence in the celebrated
Slifer murder trial had disappeared
appears to be we'll founded. 1t seems
that shortly after the close OF the trlai
at which w. II. Slfer was acquitted Oh
the murder of his Wife as charged IN
the Indictment, the note that was Offer
ed by the defense to prove that Mrs.
Slifer committed suicide, disappeared
from the records in the clerks office AT
Grundy Center and the whereabouts of
the note on which the defense relied so
strongly, is Il mystery. No one appears
able to account for the sudden disap-
pearance of the note which was such
a potent factor In acqutttng the young
man who had been charged with q SER
ious crime. Various opinions are adj
vanced as to why anyone should want
to make way with such an important
bit Of evidence, but no one appears to
the motive of making way
with the note which Is said to nave
been discovered shortly before the Sill
fer trial in September.

TRUNK LOST
Old Trunk Valued at 50 is Claimed to
be Worth $500 by Owner Sues
Rock Island Railroad.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. 24.--ls 1t proba-
BILE that a man would be carrying
around goods and chattels to the value
of thirty-seven hundred dollars In an
old trunk valued at four dollars? That
is the question that will probably con-
front jury at the next term OF the
district court.
In u case filed yesterday w. Berg
strom seeks judgment for $3,75S.5O
from the Rock Island railroad company
for the alleged loss of Il trunk contains
ing property valued at the above mem
toned sum. Bergstrom in his petition
AYERS that he had the trunk checked at
Cedar Rapids. it's destination being st.
Paul, Minnesota. Upon arriving at st.
Paul, Bergstrom claims that he went to
the baggage room, presented his check
and demanded his trunk, but the de-
PENDANT failed to deliver 1t to him. He
states that he requested them for it
numerous times, but they always fail
ed to produce 1t. ,Bergstrom says that
he spent ten days in and about st.
Paul waiting for the company to de-
liver said trunk. and that his time is
reasonably worth five dollars a day,
which he includes in the judgment
sought.
Either the plaintiff has capital
memory or he has kept an itemized
list of the articles in the trunk, for at
tached to the petition he enumerates
his property from an alarm clock down
to a collar button The list of articles
Is variegated and many, and from
the same it would be u very difficult
matter to determine exactly what
business the plaintiff was engaged in
at the time. His estimated value Is
noted after each article.
Among the list of articles Bergstrom
states that there were q number of
photos and letters from relatives and
friends in the old country which are
valued at three hundred dollars; there
were clippings from the press and
other publications relating to his news
paper work collected. during the last
eight years, valued at three hundred
dollars He says the trunk also con-
tanned some valuable books and pub
locations in foreign languages, engraV-
ings, and about three dozen fine pic
lures in colors valued at sixty-five
dollars: there was also art lectures and
embroidery (cloister worD from the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, six
inches wide and about five feet long,
representing the picture of five saints
or apostles, which is valued at one
thousand dollars. In the trunk, he al
so claims, there was an old oriental
seal in appearance like copper, about
four thousand years old, valued at one
thousand dollars. He further claims
that the trunk contained mining and
oil stock to the value Of eight hundred
dollars. All the above mentioned stuff
was in a trunk that Is assessed at the
modest sum of four dollars.
