Murder and suicide-Four Deaths

Special 10 Times Republican.
Des Moines, March S.--A trail or
tragedy has followed the conviction
Of Charles Thomas for the murder of
Mabel Scofleltt in Des Moines five years
ago. Four deaths are directly charge
able to insanity brought on by reading
the reports OF the trial. Two suicides
which have been directly the result or
the Mabel Scofleld mystery are espe-
cIally sad, because neither of the VIC
tins had shown any evidence OF un-
balanced minds until they became con-
cerned in the proceedings Of the trial.
John Huffmaster, wealthy farmer
residing near Ames, was the first VIC
tim Of the Scofleld sensation. AS soon
as the trial started he began reading
the newspaper accounts aloud to his
family. 1t was ius stern belief that
his sons and daughters would profit by
the lesson the trial taught and lead
pure lives when they went to the city.
As the state and defense wove and
Intervene the tangle Of evidence, Huff
MASTER mystifled by the case, grew
more Interested Before the trial had
proceeded week he was frantic in his
haste to peruse the papers. He studied
the murder mystery in all it's phases.
Insanity led him to arise In the night
time and take fatal dose of strych-
nine.
Fulton Walters, q well-to-do farmer
in the eastern part OF Polk county,
committed suicide yesterday, by blow
ing his brains out. Not faint Of in
sanity had been known for the fam
lily. After his death the coroner
searched his room and found hidden
under his pillow copies OF papers con-
tanning accounts Of the Thomas trial.
The relatives say that Walters had
been sitting up in bed nights reading
the papers, but had not talked about
the case. They are convinced that his
Intense interest in the Thomas case
drove him insane.
Not only did Fred Hoffman. the Des
Moines man, commit suicide because Of
brooding over the Thomas case, but
he preceded his rash act with the MUIR
der Of his former wife.
Tragedy came near finding it's way
into the home Of Charles Thomas, who
has been convicted Of the murder. Mrs.
Thomas, wife Of the defendant, swoon-
ed when the verdict was announced In
court and did not regain consciousness
for hours Physicians feared she would
not recover. Thomas father and moth
err are belfast. They stoutly insist
that the conviction is travesty on
Justice. In the court room Mrs. Thorn
as, turning to Judge Spurrier, who
prosecuted the case, said: There is a
God in heaven, Judge Spurrier. who
will send you to everlasting hell for
this" The mother then tainted and
had to be carried from the court room.

FORGED MANY CHECKS
A Dos Moines Man Beats His Friends
Out Of About 5000 and Then Makes
His Gotaway-Forsed Checks Turn

Des Molncs, March 8.--The disap-
pearance of. John Barrett, rate agent
for the Agar Packing Company, and
the appearance of seventeen Forged
house yesterday morning, revealed to
the holders OF the forged Instruments
one Of the cleyerest and best executed
schemes to defraud Des Moines firms
which has developed for many months.
Fully 5000 has already been accounted
FOR MS winnings which the agent made
thru forged checks on the Agar packing
plant. while 1t Is expected that fully
as much more will be discovered with
in the next few days.

was "a good "spender," in the language
OF the clan, and was popular around
cigar stores and saloons. His conver-
satlonal abilities made him q prime
favorite among the rest Of the custom
ers. and his money was gladly receiv-
ed over the counters.
On Saturday he was busy cashing
checks. He visited many saloons and
at each place put UP the same story:
you see" he said, Il am going to
leave town tonight and they paid me
Off with check down ait the packing
plant and want to get the ready mon
ey. Step UP boys and have one on me"
The gang would step mp, the check
would be produced, the c..ange pocket
ed and the favorite rounder would ply
his game Mt the next saloon.
! In the clearing house yesterday
checks cashed by Bob King for $3.50,
by Denny Rally of the Antlcrs for $50,
by Matt Kane Of the Kirlkwood for $50
and w. s. Hall Of the Smoker cigar
store for $26, each appeared in the list
OF seventeen bogus Instruments.
Checks Sent in Yesterday.
These checks were cleared into the
banks by the firms taken in by the
graft Monday morning and yesterday
morning they showed UP in the clearing
house receipts When they reached the
hands of the Home Savings Bank rep
resentatives 1t was found that each one
was forged Instrument The name
attached In signature was J. +. Agar
instead Of w. q. Agar, as is the regular
case. In each instance the check was
written on the pay checks issued by the
packing firm and stamped upon the
face of it was the warning, Not good
for more than $25."
Nevertheless, each merchant to whom
the checks were presented were clever
~ caught thru the personality Of the
forger. The banks suffered thru the
affair, and the packing house company
lose nothing but the Inconvenience OF
rejecting the checks presented to them
