 MT. Hale answered that he could not say that the fullest results had been reached. but that the department had been committed to the investigation and he represented that never in the history of the country has there been an investi- gation so relentless. He spoke disparing- ly of Congressional Investigation in com parison with investigations pursued with all the ma chinery of the various depart ments. MT. Hale prophesied that as the campaign pr ~ressed. the investigation by Congress, if "le is ordered, would dwindle into a contest between the two parties to see which could gain the advantage of the tohers He said that the other Demo- crats were trying to make the Republi- can party responsible for all the short Comings in the Postoffice Department
 AS a Republican" said MT. Hale, "I am willing to risk that contest"
 MT. German said he could agree with MT. Hale in most things but that con corning Congressional investigation. He believed that much good could be accom- pllshed if only in detecting flaws in the laws. which permit such frauds as those disclosed in the Postoffice Department. The party must not be only ready to take the credit. but the blame for all that transpired in governmental affairs
 The Republicans are taking credit for the exposures in the Postotfice Depart ment," he said, "I suppose if the positions were reversed. wo would do the same thing.

charge Of larceny rs bailee. has been
arrested by Detectives Heitfeld and
Donohoe and held at the city jail as a
fugitive from justice. 1t is stated that
Johnson has been keeping company

Gently she allowed him to carry her
gold watch. Johnson is then said to
have packed his telescope. bought a

Chauffeur and told OF the interest he had
in the man across the street. The man
with the auto told Hooper to keep a
line on Johnson while he fastened to
the police station to get an officer. In
less time than 1t takes to tell 1t the

Ames. April ga surprise was
sprung In the district court at Nevada
which has been in session the past two
weeks, one day this week, by one OF the
attorneys employed by one of the de-
PENDANTS. It was claimed by the at
torney that the indictments returned
last term of court and those returned
this term We're Illegal. because OF TIE
manner in which one of the grand jur-
ors was drawn was Illegal. 1t was
shown that one OF the grand jurors
who was chosen to serve was also q
judge of the election last fall In the
city of Ames. and that it was not legal
that one so qualified should allow his
name to be submitted as candidate
for grand juror. The judge took
the matter under advisement and will
render his decision In few days. This
is the first time that such a circum-
stance has been brought to light in
this county, and If the judge should
sustain the motion that all indictment
be put aside 1t will mean the return
ing of several fines and the releasing
of any that may be serving time. Al
tho this would not prevent charges
being preferred against those that have
been indicted at this term again mex
term, it would give them opportunits
of leaving the country before that time
The outcome is being watched witt
much interest.

Conrad Wigman, Who Shot Him
Is Reerrested, Charged
With Murder

Special to Times Republican.
& Graettinger, April s.-Henry Deeter,
the unfortunate victim of the terrible
tragedy resulting from the receipt of
a threatening letter by j. A. Spies, Of
this place, died at O'Clock last night.
The coarse shot used by Wigman had
so badly lacerated the wounded
mans liver that the physicians gave
little hope from the first. The de-
ceased leaves wife and four small
children.
Deeter made a heroic effort to re
cover and until the last moment pos
itively denied any knowledge of the
letter which caused his death. There
are few who doubt his innocence.
Evidently a blameless life has been
sacrificed partially thru series of cir
cumstances which could seldom be re-
peated, but more surely by the lack of
discretion shown by young man who
laid aside his better Judgment to obey
the thoughtless orders of his employer.
Conrad Wigman was rearrested to-
day charged with murder. His hearing
will be held at Emmetsburg, April IL.
1t is generally believed that Wig
mans explanation of the affair Will
inplicate Spies to the extent of hav-
ing instructed the young man TO use
his gun, should there be any doubt
about Wigman being able to capture
whoever might call at the hay stacker
for the package. This no doubt will
be the only reason Wigman can offer
to excuse his rash act.
