HELPLESS And ALONE
Plight Of John Kirk Leads to Arrest
Of Two Young Men.

John Kirk, Of Newberg, who had
come to oskaloosa on little Thanks
giving visit, was discovered Friday af-
ternoon upon steps at the rear OF che
Rock Island saloon on High avenue
west, drugged, insensible, and with his
pockets emptied except for four cents
and few poker chips. Thus had
ended his slime"
This morning Charles Sullivan and
Ed Cooper, two young men well
known in sporting circles, were arrest
ed upon warrants from Justice Prich-
ett's court charging them with va
grancy. The arrests were made In
connection with the crime upon John
Kirk, with which the men are assoc
ciated by the officers, largely through
circumstantial evidence.
Kirk was discovered Friday after
noon about two o'clock and was taken
10 the jail. He remained unconscious
until half past ten last evening, at
times his condition being such that 1t
was believed death might ensue. At
10:3O o'clock he was reused TO COLI
sciousness by Turnkey Perry Black
and A. A. Matthews, but was unable
TO tell anything Of his whereabouts
yesterday. Kirk was dazed This Is
he'll OF tnihg," he repeated again
and again TO all questions.
The man was taken before the au-
thorities this morning but was unable
to fix the responsibility for the
crime upon anyone. The police, how.
ever, have secured evidence which
tuey believe viii lead TO the conyic-
ton OF the guilty parties
II Is alleged that Kirk was with Sui
Iiyan and Cooper yesterday and the
man was seen by several with the par
ties. lie was ,seeh accompanying
them in the direction OF their rooms
behind Mile Stewards rooms on
West High avenue, and II IL said ttat
one Of the men IN the afternoon was
seen taking the man, in helpless
condition, Gown ne back stairs ;nto
the alley at the rear Of the building
in which are the rooms.
Cooper and Sullivan were arrested
tL.s morning by ofIcer Glass and Con-
stable Andrews. Their rooms were
raIded upon search warrant and a
poker table was discovered, together
with some other evidence which leads
the officers TO believe that a gam.
bling Joint has been maintained by tle
| parties.

McWilliams' confession is the bold
ayowal Of the revolving details OF his

first time today. When given out BY
the guilty man in his cell two days
ago, II was hurried 10 the grand jury
room and there carefully guarded un-
III after McWilliams made his first ap.
pearance in court.
Something Of the motive which
prompted the tragedy Is revealed by
conversations which McWilliams mas
carried ON with those who have visit
ed him.
He says tnat for the past two years
his home has been unbearable. lie
states that his wife was jealous OF
him, asked for more money than ne
was able TO supply and gOaded him
continually with nagging tone
"once in while" he said, Il gave
them what was coming" but these
periodical outbursts Of anger only
served TO intensity the situation. His
wife had once told him, he said, that
she wished that he was In an asylum
In addition his oldest boy was dissat
isfed at home and was talking OF leay
ing. His father knew that he could
not get along without his help, and
his position seemed even more des
perate.
He had thought, he said, Of leaving
home altogether, but he could not
bear the thought Of leaving the chill
dren with their mother
Finally he decided thae the onlJ
way out Of his troubles was 10 xii
them all. In his own words, :"
thought II was a providence in GoG
or providence in the devil TO remove
them" His awful deed followed thI;
gruesome determination.

belief which has been entertained thaI
the murder had been committed OF
