A GERMAN BARON
is IN COURT ON A SERIOUS
CHARGE
Is Accused Of Having Deliberately
Wrecked Train Resulting in
an Engineers Death.

DesMoines, Iowa, Nov. Enlarged
with having deliberately wrecked a
Rock Island passenger train on March
Il last, resulting in the death of Engi-
neer A. c. Hotchkiss, the trial of Baron
e. Van Kutzelben began at Marengo,
Iowa. That Won Kutzelben is
highly connected in Germany, as he
has long insisted, is evidenced by the
presence of his mother, who has arriv-
ed with the credentials of nobility and
the declaration that she will defend her
son.
The wrecking of the train was caused
by the pulling of spikes which sent the
train into the ditch. Won Kutzelben
was discovered in the vicinity soon az
terward. Detectives claim to have a
written confession signed by the man
to the effect that he had dltched the
train because of an uncomfortable de-
sire to see how wreck would look.
Prior to this time Won Kutzelben had
been employed by the railroad COM
pany in working about stations. 1t
was not until after his arrest that he
laid claim to belonging to the German
nobility.
His mother. who is deeply grieved
over her sons predicament declares
that he is innocent, If not she says that
he is insane. To prove the latter she
expresses willingness to swear that she
and her husband are first cousins; that
her own parents were first cousins;
that all four have been subjected to
severe fainting fits all their lives and
that this condition has resulted in be-
queathing her son an unsound mind.

ANOTHER TIED
TO THE TRACK BESIDE PIERsoN,
SAYS TESTIMONY
Evidence Also That Dead College Stu
dent Was Bound With Ropes
Inside Bridge Rails.

Mt. Vernon, O., Nov. 3.-Testimony
given at the coroner's inquest into the
death of Stuart Pierson, the Kenyon
freshman, who was killed on railroad
bridge last Saturday night at Gambler,
while awaiting initiation into college
fraternity, tends to show that not only
Pierson, but also Paul Barber, anoth-
er Kenyon student, was tied to the
railroad track.
In a statement made tonight in reply
to the testimony given before the cor
oner today by President Pierce, of the
college, Prosecutor Stiiwell said
He will find also that young Pier
son was not the only freshman who
lay blindfolded between the rails on
the pennsylvania bridge last Saturday
night.
President Pierce is over hasty in
criticizing the officials who are investi-
eating Persons death. Neither should
he be so certain that the freshman
fell asleep upon the tracks, for the
thing that this inquest has already
established more surely than anything
was bound with ropes inside the rails
of the bridge"
Now the microscope has been called
into service to develop link of silent
testimony that may prove of the ut
most Importance. Friday Stilwell ex-
amined the dead boys trousers under
one of these magnifying instruments.
He says he found threads clinging to
the clothes that bear an unmistakable
resemblance to threads pulled from a
piece Of c!othesline, Whether the
clotheslino found was used to tie young
Pierson the prosecutor does not yet
know. He will ask an expert to con-
firm his discovery by an immediate ex-
animation. Subpoenas were served to-
day on two Gambler farmers who said
they saw three men leading another
blindfolded by rope in the vicinity of
the bridge on last Saturday night

relates to terminal charge of So per

tory and New Mexico to Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City. The commits
sion holds that the defendants ad.
vances in livestock rates during 1903
were unjust and unreasonable; that
the present rates are unjust and un.
reasonable to the extent of such ad-
vances; that the present terminal
charge for delivery of livestock at the
United Stock Yards in Chicago,
amounting to about SO per car is un.
just and unreasonable, and that a
reasonable charge would be 81 per car
for such terminal services.
The third case decided by the com.

the lines Of the Missouri, Kansas's&
