MRS. MEYERS SMILED.
When Sentenced to be Hanged August
4 for Killing Her Husband.

Kansas City, June 24-Mrs. Agile
Meyers, who at Liberty, Missouri, was
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, was today refused a new trial
and was sentenced to be hanged on
August II.
An appeal will be taken to the state
supreme court. Mrs. Meyers was con-
victed with Frank Hoffman, who was
infatuated with her. of killing the wo-
mans husband, Clarence, Meyers, a
printer. at their home in this city in
May. 1904.
The crime was most cold blooded.
Hoffman, who is now under sentence
Of death for his part in the crime, tes-
tined at the woman's trial that she
had urged him to kill Meyers, had let
him into their room on the night of
the murder, had given her husband a
sedative opiate to induce sleep, and
then, while he cried to her for help,
she first struck him over the head with
a bed Stat and then slashed his throat
and back with scissors and razor.
Hoffman had first stunned Meyers
with a billiard cue. Hoffman was ar
rested in Montana where he had es-
capped on money furnished by Mrs
Meyers.
Since her arrest, Mrs. Meyers has
shown practically no emotion, and
when sentence was passed today, she
smiled. The defendant will have IN
til November next to file an appeal.

THEY'RE JUST AS GOOD.
Contractor Ritclie Replies to Street
Commissioner Ramsey.

c. A. Richie, the contractor who
has done considerable paving in the
city comes back atStreet Commissioner
Ramsey, who made the statement that
Topeka made brick would not stand
the wear and tear as paving material
on Kansas avenue. Mr.. Richie said:
Topeka made brick is every bit as
good as Lawrence or Pittsburg brick.
I think it is safe to say that Topeka
avenue stands more wear from heavy
loads than Kansas avenue and yet
look at its condition today after a ser
vice of fifteen years. would be glad
to get a contract to pave Kansas ave-
nue. with brick and guarantee it to
wear ten years. I notice Ramsey says
he wouldn't want to guarantee it to
wear five years. If you have been
down to the Santa Fe depot and no.
ticed the brick platform there, you
will notice how that Lawrence brick
wears. It has had some hard usage
but it has been down only a little
over a year and it is scaling now.
"I think that it is possible to pave
Kansas avenue with brick and it won't
be necessary to change the grade of
the cutters at the curb or the street
railway track either.

STRUCK TROLLEY POLE.
Automobile Wrecked; One Man Killed
and Six Injured.

New York. June 24-One man dead,
three seriously injured and three 9TH
ers cut and bruised is the result of
last nights automobile accident in
Jerome avenue near 22Oth street. The
wreck occurred before the gates of
Woodlawn cemetery. Paul Foster,
whose skull was fractured, and who
died soon after reaching the hospital,
is said to have been a native of Bos-
ton.
Like many other serious motor ac-
cidentS in and about New York recent
~, this one is said to have followed
the use of the car without its owners
knowledge or permission. The chauf-
feur had one leg fractured and his
right ear was almost torn off. Three
others had broken limbs and were Sc
verely cut.
Seven persons. were in the machine
They had visited the Empire City
track to witness a 1000 mile race
against time. On starting home the
car sped away into the avenue, but
the driver miscalcuIated a turn and
dashed head on into an iron trolley
pole. So hard was the impact that
the, pole was broken in two, the ma
chine was wrecked and the gasoline
tank exploded
The passengers were hurled in all
directions. They were picked up by
other motorists and hurried to a hos
pital.
About the same time a collision oc-
Cured on Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn,
between a motor car and a mounted
policeman. The latter sustained some
broken ribs and possibly a fracture of

MIKE THOMPSON HERE.
King of the Gamblers Doesn't Want to
Go to Jail.

Mike Thompson, erstwhile partner
in the firm operating the now defunct
Royal gambling parIors in Topeka.
has returned from Hot Springs, Ark,
and if he remains in Topeka it will be
upon the payment of the price, viz:
Fifty days time in the county jail to
complete his original sentence OF four
months imprisonment.
Thompson, Wood Fowler. lobe To-
bias and 81 Hurst were arrested upon
warrant issued in the district court
at the instance of County Attorney
Hungate charging them with operat-
ing a slot machine in the Royal gam
bling establishment, and upon another
warrant charging them with main
tanning a gambling house.
The Big Four agreed to plead
guilty to the first charge and to take
a term in the county Jail if they would
not be prosecuted under the second
charge Hungate agreed to this ar
rangement and notified them that he
would hold the second charge over
them until they had served their SEN
tence in Jail.
The proprietors, Thompson and
Fowler, We're sentenced by Judge
Hazen to four months in the county
Jail and the expert dealers in the en-
plOy of the firm, Hurst and Tobias,
were sentenced to three months. They
went to Jail in the spring of 1904 and
served seventy days each and then
secured their release upon q writ OF
habeas corpus on the ground that the
slot machine law, under which they
plead guilty was defective.
While the habeas corpus case was
pending the four went to Hot Springs
and opened a race track pool room
The pace at the American Monte Carlo
was rather too hot for the quartette.
They had done we'll in Topeka but
they we're done in Arkansas and lost.
They drifted back to Topeka, all but
Thompson.
Judge Hazen indicated that if he
sustained the contentious made in the
habeas corpus case that the four, I'M
der their plea of guilty, would be vir-
tually under sentence to the peniten-
tiary. Then the defendants decided
that they had best dismiss the habeas
corpus case and finish their time in
Jail Fowler went back to Jail and
served fifty days more and Hurst ami
Tobias served twenty days more AND
wiped their states. County Attorney
Hungate agreed, owing to the fact
that Thompson was sick, that so long
as he remained away from Topeka he
would not have to serve the rest Of
his time.
Friday afternoon Thompson drifted
into Hungate's office but the county
attorney would show no clemency. |
Sheriff Lucas has a commitment for
Thompson and he has fifty days more
to serve in the county Jail

Hoch's Paper Glad Billings Won't Be

This sounds strange to say the least
when it is considered that it IS taken
from the Marion Record:
"Orley Billings has concluded not to
accept the private secretaryship to the
governor. and we are all glad of it.
especially the Methodist people, Who
have become so used to having Orley
take charge of the musical exercises
whenever tn ere is any occasion for nnu-
sic in their church, that it would be a
hard matter for them to get along
without him And then his place IN
whenever there is anything doing in
town OrIey is mighty mandy to have
on a committee. for he always does his
share. and some other fellows besides;
So we again say we are mighty glad
that he turned down the IoDeka JOB.
