Special to Times Republican
New Sharon. April 29.-Developments
in the strange insanity case of Q. b.
Stilwell. prominent and wealthy
farmer of this city. show that the cause
of Mr.. Stilwells insanity was robbery
rather than sudden alteration caused
by the receipt of large payment for
stock sold in Chicago. Dispatches from
Davenport where Mr.. Stilwell was re-
moved from train owing to his condi~
tion. were to the effect that Mr.. Still.
well had received a large sum of
money from the sale OF stock, and that
gazing on so much money. at one time,
turned his mind. 1t is stated by rela-
tives that Mr.. Stilwell was dragged in
Chicago and robbed of $4,000, the
money received from the sale Of stock.
When he discovered his loss he went
insane. He is growing steadily worse.
and it is feared he can not recover. Mr..
Stilweil is estimated to be worth about
100000. He is so years Of age.

CHARGED GROSS IMMORTALITY.
Consular Officials in Liberia Accused
of licentiousness.

Washington, April 29.-Charges Of
gross immortality on the part of con-
sular officials located in Liberia were
made by Miss A. A. sKlien, one Of the
speakers at yesterdays session of the
Florence Crittendon mission, in talk
on Preventive and Rescue Work For
Girls In Africa" Miss Klein has been
in Liberia as a missionary OF the
Lutheran church at Muhlenberg thir-
ty-f1ve miles from the capital, but al
most indefinitely removed, she ex-
planned from the civilization Of that
city. She said foreign consuls when
on their way to the interior on busi
ness. frequently stopped at her mis-
sion station, where, shes said, they
would speak lightly of their licentious
excesses Native women, she said,
were regarded by these consuls as le-
gitimate prey; criminal assault was
common and In many instances un-
concealed. Miss Klein declared the ma
tives, at least. in the vicinity where
she was stationed upheld a high
standard of morals. Adultry is pun-
ished by stoning to death and the ma
tives live closely according to the Mo-
sale laws. The conditions she de-
scribed, she said, had greatly impeded
the work of the missionaries. Miss
Klein specifically exempted the Rev.
Ernest Lyon, the United States consul
at Monrovia, the capital, from the
charges made against the other con-
sular officials, and paid a high tribute
to him.

ROCKER MUST HANG
Jury in the Murder Case at Rock Rap.
ids Finds the Defendant Guilty and
Fixes the Punishment at Death -
Sensational Case.

Special to Times Republican.
Rock Rapids, April 29.-The jury In
the case of Charles Rocker, charged
with the murder of August Schroeder,
this afternoon brought in a verdict of
murder in the first degree and fixes the
penalty at death. The court fixed Sat
urday May Z. as the time for pronounc-
ing sentence and hearing of motion for
new trial. The prisoner heard this news
calmly and did not sem to be greatly
affected by the verdict. The jury went
out at 6 o'clock last evening and was
out until shortly after 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
The murder of August Schroeder was
one of the most atrocious ever commit
ted in northwest Iowa If the story of
Mrs Rocker. who married Rocker after
the murder of her first husband, which
the jury seems to have accepted, is true.
She testified that after her marriage to
Rocker he came home drunk one night
and during his sleep, re-enacted the
murder This was the first intimation
that she had that her first husband had
been killed by the man she had mar
ried. When she questioned him Rocker
made confession stating that he
bought "doped' whisky. gave it to
SCHROEDER and when he became sick,
strangled him to death. Then he car
red the body into the barn and strung
it UP to a rafter to give the impression
that his victim had committed suicide.

cations are that he and a number Ol

essentially in American hands.
The Associated Press is email bled to
indicate from various sources the main
features Of payment, as follows:
The transfer OF $40,000,000 from the
United States to Europe will be made
SO as not to disarrange the money mar
ket of either country. For this pur-
pose the total will be divided into
number Of smaller amounts, leaving
America at intervals and thus not

Moreover it Is pointed out, as this

ury. without it's drawing on the banks
there will be no undue strain on the
banks.

result of the sinking of the. transport

succeeded in getting ashore.
Later advi-es from Gensan confirm

killed or drowned at the time of the
sinking of the Kinshui Maru having re-
fused to surrender to the Russians, pre-

St Petersburg, April 29.--Details of
Rear Admiral Yeszen's raid shows it
was entirely successful. The admiral
safely brought back his ships to Vlad-
ivostok after indictng material and
mortal damage on enemy. The cruise
was most daring. The enenly's squad
ron was known to be in proximity,
which necessitated prompt sinking of
the transport Kinshui Maru. The con-
duct of the hundred and thirty troops
in refusing to surrender and firing up
on the Russians even while the trans
port was sinking evokes unbounded
admiration. The japanese are jealous
of our Chetnulpo heroes" is the popu-
lar comment. At the same time the ac-
tion Of the heroic 130 men did not leave
the Russians any alternative. They
were obliged to sink the transport but
means of escape We're left at the dis
posal OF the japanese. The ability OF
Admiral Yesaen's ship to reach Gensan,
900 miles away in twenty owo hours,
as they did, is certain to compel the
Japanese to be on their guard.
