MABEL scoFIELD CASE.
A Mysterious Horse May Play Import
ant Part in Trial.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 10. - A horse with
a deformed front foot whose tracks
were found In mud near the spot that
Mabel Scofield's dead body was tax
EN- from the river, will be witness
against Charlie Thomas.
Late yesterday afternoon County
Attorney Miller served notice upon
Thomas in person and his attorneys
that the state would introduce four
new witnesses who had not been dis
covered in time to give the necessary
four days notice. The defense waived
objections to the procedure in Judge
McVey's court. The witnesses will
accordingly appear in the famous muir
der trial.
The state expects to show, so it says,
that Thomas owned at the time of Ma
bel Scofield's death horse with de-
formed front foot which he kept at the
l.. j. Wells livery. By the new wit
nesses it will try to show that the
tracks found near where the body was
removed are those of the deformed
horse and will connect, the affidavit
says, the testimony with other testi-
mony showing that the body of Mabel
Scof1eld was taken to the place where
1t was found in the river in a buggy
owned by either Charles Thomas or
August Hast, and that the marks and
tracks in the vicinity will fully identi-
~ the horse.
The witnesses are William r. Cas-
son, salesman for the John Morrill,
Packing Company, who will identify
the horse as that owned by August
Hast at the time Of his death; Alonzo
Terry, a dairyman, who will testify
that he sold such a horse in 1899, to
William Conmee of Des Moines; Will
lam j. Conmee salesman for the Agar
Packing Company, that he bought the
horse from Alonzo Terry, and after
wards sold it to August Hast brother
in-law of Thomas, and John M. Barnes
Of Rolfe, salesman who found the
tracks made by the peculiar shaped
foot
Thomas Hears the Evidence.
Thomas and his attorneys read the
notice carefully in Judge McVey's
court.
Il never heard Of such horse" said
Thoas.
Later the accused man conversed
gaily with his wife and mother in the
sheriff's office Thomas is looking
much better. The tan accumulated by
his farm life in Nebraska has disap-
peared.

All that medicine can do for these

the germs, and such results are indi-

Vienna. March 1G.-The report
from Rome that the Itallanwar min
istry proposed to ask the deputies for
$40. 100000 to fortify eastern and
northern frontiers of Italy was reit-
Grated today and caused considerable
comment In Vienna. where It was
taken as evidence of ltaly's growing
distrust of Austria and was charae-
terized as an indirect result of the
weakening of the Russian power in
the Far East and the consequent loss
of Russian influence In the Balkan
peninsula. A foreign Office official
said:
Austria regretfully observes this
manifestation OF Italy's iistrust of
Austrian purposes, but II Italy finds
satisfaction In spending large sums
In terrifying her frontier with the re-
suit of increasing ltaly's sense of Sc
Ieurity and lessening chances Of mu-
tual misunderstanding and friction
the step will not be without adyant-
age to both powers"

Paris, March 16.-The govern

of action to be followed in Venezuela
in the conflict between President Cas-
tro and the French Cable Co. The
question will be discussed at a coun-
ell of ministers tomorrow.
The Cable company has committed
its interests in Venezuela to the care
of the French government, which has
given assurances that 1t will afford
the company full protection against
any arbitrary action.
Neither the foreign Office nor the
company have received any definite
advices from Caracas.
The concession of the French Ca
Bile company dates from 1895. The
company has spent over $1,200,000,
which has not yet yielded a dividend.
Lately the operation OF the conces-
sion has been attended by many pet
ty annoyances. Under the pretext
that the company had not fulfilled
the terms of its concession President
Castro brought the case before a
court and secured a verdict against
the company, which appealed to a
higher court, where 1t is still pend

The Child Was PrcmatureIy Born

Inquest.


The Paducah police department is
investigating revolving case. Yes
terday Detective T. J. Moore was in
formed of the alleged burial of the
corpse of an infant in a North Side
coal house. He went n work and
found the body, which was of pre-
maturely born infant.

Ninth street. and after the child was
born two other persons living in the
same house wrapped the body in cot
ton, took IL to the coal house and
buried 1t. The father has left the
city, IL is understood.
When Detective Moore questioned
the woman, she claimed that she
had injured herself and a local doc
tor gave her medicine, and the child
was born shortly afterwards. The
doctor denies even ever having seen
the woman.
The remains of the child were TAX
en- to the Paducah undertaking par
Tors today, and Coroner Crow, as
soon as possible, probably this after
noon, will hold an inquest. II is pos
sible that warrants will be issued.
Two felonies may have been COM
mltted, one concealing the birth of
an illegltimate child, and the other
performing a criminal operation. II
may later develop, however, that
there is nothing in the case. y
Coroner Grow this afternoon bur
led the body in the county graveyard.
