BEST THEORY IN MURDER Cl

lacking, 1 think the probabilities are
sufficiently strong to justify a thor
ough investigation on the theory that
it was Baddeley who committed the
murder said Detective Matheson
yesterday. TT is certainly the best
clew that has been developed so far.
/ believe that we have got our hands
on a thoroughly bad man. While
do not regard Baddeley as a keen
criminal, but rather one of the hobo
type, 1 think many crimes could be
laid to him If his record were laid
bare"
The detective spent most of yester-
day visiting saloons and other places
that have been held up during the last
several months and seeking for some
identification of Baddeley by means
of photograph.
Bobby Johnson, the welterweight
pugilist and husband of the woman ac-
cused of bigamy, told Captain Burnett
yesterday of cipher letter from
Black Joe" to Baddeley, from which
it appears that the former accused the
latter of having robbed him. Trans
{ lated, the missive read. Fetch back
that money you stole from me. or
will hang you" Johnson said he had
destroyed the letter.
Deputy Sheriff Newsome says that
the three letters that were sent to the
Chicago detective were full of incrim-
mating matter connecting Baddeley
with the gang of robbers headed by
BLACK joe" whose name is said to be
Joe Palmer. When Mrs. Segger first
intimated to the Stanislaus authorities
that Baddeley was train robber, De-
tective O'Keefe was notified and he
came out from Chicago. But he said
the descriptions of the hold up men did
not agree with Baddeley, whose stat
ure was much too small.
Nothing has been heard from Chi
cago concerning developments in De-
tective O'Keefe's Investigations. The
local police heard nothing from ST.
Louis yesterday, not learning till late
in the day that O'Keefe is connected
with the Chicago force. 1t Is expected
to hear from him In few days and
that further light can then be gained
on Baddeley's career.
MRS. SEGGER ARRAIGNED.
The charge of bigamy against Mrs.
Segger, preferred by Baddeley in
revenge because she had married john
son, was taken up by Judge Mogan
yesterday, but at the request of the
District Attorney was put over to jan
uary 13 that records may be looked up.
The woman said she thought Segger
was dead when she married the fighter.
She lived with Baddeley for eighteen
months at Newman, Stanislaus County.
where they kept dance hall. and since
she left him. she says, he has never
ceased his pleadings for her to return
to him. She still adheres to her orig
inai story as to Baddeley's record, and
her anger toward her accuser has not
abated.
Captain Burnett last night had Ed
Finn, better known as Mickey, "
brought before him, Finn having been
an associate and roommate of Baddeley
for some time. He, too, had seen the
letters that Mrs. Segger received from
the suspected train robber and had also
heard Baddeley make mention In q
general way of his exploits. Finn was
convinced. he said, that the prisoner

IN THE CONSPIRACY.

Commenting upon the statement
Of The Review of Reviews that "all
the bose g. ia thr country were at one
tima 10 league 10 prevent the nomin-
alton Of President Roosevelt and
SURRENDERED only when they saw that
they we're beateu," the p ERE DtkO
tan says;
TIE bosses of South Dakota were
in the political conspiracy referred to
by the Review of Reviews prior to
the nomination Of Roosevelt. An
pmissary of the national combination
bosses came to South d kota and
had conferences With a select circle
of supposedly powerful republicans
in the state, resulting in a agre .ment
to SWING The state delegation to the
national republican convention
against Roosevelt.
The conspiracy fell fiat here, as it
did throughout the country, but it
wa a startling demonstration of the
fact that the menace of bossism is
local in this stale, not less than in
other parts of the country.
This infor imation is important,
says the Sioux Falls Press, because
the newspaper quoted was in Il posi-,
ton TO know what was gong on
while the anti Roosevelt conspiracy
was in progress.
The student of events will r4nem-
Der that the machines of all The
states were in league against the
nomination o. Mr.. Roosevelt and
that the popular uprising in his
favor swept the feet Of the conspirat
ors from under them and they were
unable to stem the tide of spoutane-
Gus opposition.
With an instinct that tarely mis-
leads, the people suddenly became
aware of the f~orcefuluess of the man
and his willingness to lead them out
Of the bondage Of the political system
ant they gathered around his stand
ard ia such generous numbers that
the old methods Of management were
overcome.
The DakotaD says "the bosses atr

Roosevelt policies aud intensely

hawsers IA inches thick were fixed
to each stake with block and tackle.
The ropes ended in slip nooses, which
were placed around the elephants
