If the one gallus State and county
officers are not going to enforce the
Ward law any any better than they
have the Watts law it won't amount
to hurrah in sheol. All the en-
forcing Of the Watts law that has
been done has been done by Federal
officers. The county and State
officers either don't want it en-
forced or they are afraid to do so for
fear of making some dear old party
friend angry.-Peoples Paper.

CHEMIST GIVES OPINION
Theory of Murder of George
GrisWoId. insurance Man,
Now Doubted.

Des Moines, Sept. 23.-Expert Chem
ist Kinney. who has conducted the ex-
animation of the organs of body sup
posed to be that of George Griswold,
the Des Moines insurance man, who
was supposed to have been murdered
on Sept 13. last night made a report
expressing his belief that the stomach
he examined was not Griswold's, but
that of a man who had been dead at
least two weeks. This sensational re-
port gives support TO the theory tina.
Griswold was not the victim of muir
der or suicide, but that he is still alive
somewhere.
May he Not GriswOld's Body.
The body taken from the river three
days after Griswold's disappearance
was not identified except by its cloth
ing, the features being unrecogniZable.
1t is now disclosed also that the stat
ure of the dead body was a couple of
inches less than Griswold.
Carried Much Insurance.
Griswold carried $4,000 life and
$4,000 accident insurance. Insurance
companies are seeking TO disprove the
murder or suicide theories. The case
is still shrouded in mystery and may
result in long and interesting legal
proceedings should his benefciaries at
tempt to collect the insurance money.
