GYPSIES May BIZ FREED
Little Evidence to Hold Them For
Murder of Michael Miorski.
POLICE HUNTING ANOTHER BAND

Were Encamped Near Where Body
Was Found and Have Disappeared.
Footprints Lead to the Abandoned
Camp.
Phocnixville, Pa, oct. 25.-Though
raspicion appears to be strongly
against them. there is o growing be-
lief in certain quarters that a band
of gypsies who are now under arrest
had no hand in the murder Of f-year-
old Michael Miorsk, whose mutilated
body was found In a dilapidcted stone
farm house two miles south of here.
This belief is founded on certain dis
coveries which have been made by
County Constable John Roberts and
Robert M. SINNERS. the local repre-
sentative of the state food and dairy
commission. who is taking an active
hand in the efforts now being made to
run down tae inhuman fiends
Robert NJ. SINNERS returned from
the gypsy camp al Williams Corners.
pointing to members OF the band now
held as prisoners as having been inn
plicated in the murder He stated that
he was satisfied that they had nothing
to do with the crime. A small bloody
shirt was found near the hOvel where
the body of the murdered lad was dis
covered. which is regarded as an i'm
por,ant clue, and one which may lead
to the arrest of the murderers. A care
ful inspection Of the locality was
made. and footprints were found lead
ing from there to the Knickerbocker
dam, at Charlestowh, where a second
band Of gypsies was encamped last
Friday night. Some time late Friday
night that band of gypsies broke camp
and hurried away. officials are now
securing the country for the missing
gypsies; the belief being that when
they are found light will be thrown on
the murder. Measurements of the foot
prints were taken and compared with
the shoes worn by the prisoners at
the jail They did not correspond in
any way. and the opinion is now gen
eral among the police that they are in
nocent of completely or knowledge of
the murder.
District Attorney Thomas Lack Of
West Chester, entertains a belief that
the gypsles under arrest had no hand
in the crime. but in order to be on the
safe side they will not be released
until a more thorough investigation
has been made. The greater part of
this community, however is not quite
ready to exonerate the gypsy suspects,
especially since 1t has become known
that one of them had been personally
identified as one Of the two men who
were seen to kidnap the Miorski boy
| last Friday afternoon Robert Wells,
son of Henry Wells. chief of the nom
ads. is pointed out as one OF the kid
nappers The identification was made
by George Wahl, the youth who
claims to have witnessed the kid
mapping.
Wahl could not identify any Of the
other men, and this is considered
favorable TO the gypsies. Another point
taken TO indicate the gypsies' limo
cence is the fact that the band has
made no move to get away. They are
still located at Williams Corner. about
three miles from this place.

IN SESSION TODAY
Farmers Exchange Will Con.
vene This Morning.

When the Minnesota Farmers ex-
change convenes at the capitol this
morning for its adjourned meeting re-
ports will be received from the COM
mittee on constitution and bylaws. and
the committee appointed to prepare ar
ticles of incorporation. It is expected
that it will then be possible to complete
the organization of the body upon a
business basis without further delay.
1t has already been decided that the
exchange shall be Incorporated, with
a capital stock of 100000, at $40 per
share.
c. E. Jackson, of Buchanan, presi-
dent; w. L. Wetherston, of West Con-
cord, treasurer; J. S. Macdonald, of
Rush City, secretary, and a number of
the other members of the exchange ar
rived in the city last night and will be
on hand for the meeting.
One of the questions to come before
this meeting for settlement is that of
affiliation with the national exchange,
and it is believed that the Minnesota
organization will join in the national
movement, although preserving its own
identity and separate business cOrpo-
ration.
Among the members it is understood
that it will be necessary at this meeting
to elect a new secretary, as j. S. Mac
Donald has intimated that he will re-
sign that Office because of lack of time
to devote to the duties it involves.

That is the report of the state dairy
