Crime of Murder.

VANCOUVER, Dec. 3.-The trial
of Private Fred r. Stubs. who shot
and killed Private Tom Van Diver at
the American lake encampment last
summer, has just been completed be-
fore the military court at the Vancou-
yer past, and he was found guilty and
sentenced to five years in prison and
to be dishonorably discharged from
the army for the Offense. He was ac-
quilted of the charge at Tacoma, it
will be remembered, and it was con-
tended that the authorities had no
right to try him a second time for the
same offense.
He was ably defended, but to no
avail. The military court was not
satisfied with his being acquitted in
the civil courts of the charge of mur-
der and took the matter up in the
regular military way.
1t is said still further efforts will
be made to secure the release of

SEATTLE, Dec. 3-James F. Mac
Guaran, alias James F. Mace, and until
a few months ago a brother in the Col
lege of Our Lady of Lourdes, at South
Park, is in the city Jail, confessed
fOrger. He was arrested late yester-
day afternoon and this morning made
clean breast of the whole affair to
Detective Adams, who took him into
custody. MacGuaran said he could not
explain why he had turned criminal.
He did it, and ne is sorry, and that is
all there is to it.
The forged checks passed by Mac
Gauran all purported to be signed by
Mrs Margaret Kennedy, who lives on
Fifth avenue. Mrs. Kennedy has an
account in Portland bank and it was
on this bank that all the checks were
drawn. MacGuaran had known Mrs.
Kennedy for some time and had been
befriended by her. Once she gave him
a genuine check for 81. 1t was in this
manner that he was able to copy her
name. One of the checks recovered by
the police was given to MacGuaran in
payment for room rentrin the Newport
hotel on First avenue. Another was
passed at the Chicago Misfit parlors.
where he was arrested, and third for
$40 was found in his possession. His
room was searched today and a small
clock and an umbrella stolen from
Mrs. Kennedy were found.
At the South Park college MacGuar-
an was known as Brother Percy, that
name having been assigned to him
when he joined the Order of Lourdes-
In the school MacGuaran had cnarge
of the primary grades, teaching that
part of the school for two years.
MacGuaran admitted that he ran
away from the school with a George
town lad named Parker, and lived for
some time in a shack south OF that
town. By his own confessions he IS
a moral and physical degenerate.
MacGuaran says he left the school
and the church because he did not
want to make that his life profession
