Special Grand Jury Summoned to
Investigate Crime.

Special to Times Republican.
independence, Nov. ga special
grand jury has been called to meet to-
day to investigate the case of William
McWilliams. who is suspected of MUIR
dering his wife and five children. No
attempt was made to establish an alibi
for McWillianls at the coroner's in
quest yesterday, the father of the man
himself giving it as his opinion that his
son was guilty of the crime. The corr
oners jury last evening completed its
hearing and its verdict was that Nc
Williams was guilty Of the crime
charged against him. 1t now seems
probable that the defense to be made
by McWilliams will be insanity.
Despite the circumstantial evidence
pointing to McWilliasns as the MUIR
sderer, he does not lose his nerve, and
remains stolidly silent most Of the
time. He has showed no remorse for
the deaths Of his family, and has not
been visibly agitated at any time since
his arrest. All information regarding
the funeral, and the feeling among
the people has been accepted by him
In matter of fact way.
He eats heartily although not $50
ravenously as at first He apparently
rests well. His utter abandon OF In
iterest in the tragedy is ptzzling.
The testimony of John McWilliams
was startling, and he has expressed
the belief that his son was guilty OF
the crime He said in substance that
his son arrived at his place at 8
O'Clock Wednesday evening and stayed
until 1 o'clock Friday afternoon. This
was contrary to his custom, as he
never had stayed all night in the city.
He slept soundly Wednesday night and
had to be called the next morning. The
father and son worked the farm on
shares and on Thursday they divided
the receipts from load of hogs that
had been sold. William McWilliams
paid his taxes and some debts Thurs
day. John McWilliams remarked that
1T was too bad for the children to have
to take care Of the cattle upon the
farm during the storm, whereupon the
son answered:
.sThey are in the dry, and the cat
tie are shut up.
The son was cross and ugly during
the two days visit with his father, and
answered questions with snarl. The
father believes his son committed the
crime Wednesday before he came to
town.

Two Young Men Of Grundy Center Get
Into Trouble.
Special to Times Republican,.
Grundy Center, Nov. 2s.-During a
drunken spree Sunday evening, Ed
Slifer and George Hardie, both resi-
dents Of this town, jumped onto a
young fellow who has been husking
corn near town and after pounding him
to their hearts content, they are said
to have relieved him Of his pocketbook
and contents amounting to about $2s.
All were said to be in about the same
physical condition and the corn husker
was not very positive as to what had
become of his money. Monday morn
ing one of the offenders seemed to
have become dissatisfied with his
share of the booty and told the tale.
The money, or most OF it, was then
returned, and SO far no prosecutions
have been started. Both Slifer and
Hardie are hard working, peaceable
fellows when sober. Interest is added
to the affair by the fact that at the
time this was going on, Rev. l. N. Nc
Cash, of Des Moines, president of the
Anti-Saloon League of the State, was
lecturing on temperance at union
meeting in the Methodist church.

kept sharp lookout. With the note

THAT INSURANCE DECISION.
Auditor Carroll Believes Companies
Will Quietly Submit.

Des Moines, Nov. 23.-State Auditor
B. F. Carroll expressed much satisfac-
ton yesterday when informed that the
United States supreme court had re-
versed Judge Smith Mcpherson of the
federal bench and held the Blanchard
anti-compact law constitutional. For
the past eighteen months. the injunc-
ton had tied the hands of the Iowa Of
ficials so far as preventing insurance
cpmpacts was concerned. In addition
to the understandings between the head
officials CT the large companies, every
town where there are half dozen or
more agents has its local board and
secretary to see that all companies
write business on the same rate. MIR.
Carroll stated yesterday that he felt
certain that the companies would at
once comply with the law and he did
not anticipate the necessity of using
force on any of them. The Blanchard
law will be strictly enforced hence
forth.
| The law was attacked by the Green
wich insurance Company, representing
| practically all the union fire insurance
companies, on the grounds that It was
class legislation Judge Mcpherson up
held this view of it on the ground that
the measure was directed at a partfcu-
! lar branch of business. Auditor Car
roll appealed to the United States court
and the matter has been pending for
many months. The case attracted IN
terest turnout the United States, as
several states have similar measures.
In South Dakota. the federal judge sus-
tanned the constitutionality OF the
measure.
1t is not anticipated that the enforce
ment Of the law will mean rate war
| or a material reduction in fire insur-
ance rates in Iowa. Nearly ALL II not
all, companies base their rates on the
schedules furnished by the Bennett
Rating agency at Cedar Rapids. MT.
Bennett gathers data regarding the
risks and furnishes estimated rates
Thru these, 1t will be very easy Tor
the companies to adhere to the same
rates without violating the law by hav-
ing personal agreements. It is expect

bag in which she carried some $25 was
badly torn in the affair, but she was
able to hold on. A sister, Miss Alice
Laughlin, teacher in the city schools,
who accompanied her put up gamey
scrap and succeeded In beating off the
fold-up man and rescuing the hand
bag. The thief darted from behind a
tree as the two ladies were enroute
home from shopping, about o'clock in
the evening. The handle of the bag
broke, which probably saved the props
erty to its rightful owner. The la
dies screams aroused the neighbors, at
which alarm the robber fled.
