k|bbEY ADMITS NOT PLEASED
 AT COURT
Decision in Justice Fees Case /. DiStaStefuI to the Governor
 Next Legislature Will Be Pe-
 toned to Remedy Matter.

PHOENIX, Oct. 3.-"Goyernor, were you satisfied with the decision rer- dared n the case in which it was ru1- ed that justices of the peace can claim fees amounting to more than s5 when you were assistant district at torney?' asked Assistant District At torney Bullard of Governor Kibbey this afternoon.
 No, I was rot" replied Governor Kibbey. T believe the law means that they should be limited to s5, though this county must be governed by the decision which declared that they can receive more"
 This conversatio1 took place in the office of the board of supervisors at a time when Gov. Kibbey was there to secure a copy of the election laws for reference. h
 That the next legislature will be called upon to either remodel the law relating to the fees of justices of the peace o~ to frame another to take its place, is now considered probable by those who take an interest in mat ters of this kind.
 Assistant District Attorney Bullard has advised the board of supervisors that justices are entitled to all they claim in felony cases, provided the claim is a correct one, and they have performed the services for which the charges are made.
 Bullard bases his opinion on the de- cision rendered by ex-Chief Justice Street when the latter was on the bench in 1901, and decided in favor of Justice J. NJ. Burnett in test case the latter brought against Maricopa county board of supervisors. Though Governor Kibbey says he was not satisfied with the decision. and believes that the law intends that justices shall not receive to exceed S in felony cases, he did not take an appeal from Judge Streets de- cjsion nor did District Attorney Ed wards who was in office at that time.
 An element that will probably play some part in what the next leglsiaJure does to the fees of precinct officers will be the effort to be made to put constables and justices on a flat sal ary instead of allowing them all the fees they can make.
 At the request of Assistant Attor- ney Bullard this plank was placed in the platform of the Maricopa Demo crats in their recent convention.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE AT
 PHOENIX IS BURNED

PHOENIX, Oct. 3.-The old Balsz slaughter house, mile south of the end of Seventh street, was destroyed by an incendiary fire between and 4 o'clock Monday morning. It con- tained a large quantity of tallow. The adjoining corrals were all burned and the wooden curbing of a we'll within the corrals was burned to a depth of twelve feet.
 The motner-fn-law- of Bert Balsz. who lives near by had just arrived from Glendale on the early morning train. About the time she reached the house she heard two shots, the reports seeming to come from the direction of the old slaughter house. She saw in the bright moonlight a man hurry ing across the field carrying his hat in his hand. He had hardly passed out of sight when she saw a small flame within the slaughter house. She alarmed her sonin-law's family but by the time Mir. Balsz could dress him. self the whole structure was in flames which were being fed by the melting tallow.
 Yesterday morning when an investi- sation was begun a neighbor who rad been up early the morning before. siad that he had seen man in the neigh borhood of the old slaughter house before .Ee fire and he was able to give a fairly good description of him. The off .ers are now hunting him and the search is spurred by al offer by the Balsz brothers of a reward of $50 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the incendiary.
 The slaughter house had not been in use for long time, but the building and the ccIrals were in good repaid

fendant Says Serving Sentence Is
Easy Way of Making Money

Mrs. Minnie Ray living at S15 Kohler
street, was sentenced to pay a fine of
$50 yesterday by Police Justice Austin.
on conviction of assaulting her aged
mother-in-law, Mrs. Kate Ray, and her
sister in law. Miss Annie Ray.
According to the evidence of Patrol
man Mojonier and other witnesses
Mrs Ray quarreled with her husbands
family, and taking piece of lath, beat
the aged Mrs. Ray and her daughter
until neighbors interfered
The two women who were the alleged
victims of the temper of Mrs. Minnie
Ray. were taken to the receiving hos
pital and their bruises were treated.
During the progress Of the trial the
defendant tried to interrupt one of
the witnesses and gave her the lie. This
called forth a severe rebuke from the
court.
Mrs. Ray practically admitted strlk-
ing her sister-in-law, because, as she
said, the young woman called her "a
- liar"
She denied striking her aged mother
in-law, but several witnesses said they
saw her strike Mrs. Kate Ray.
At the close of the case. the defend
ant turned to one of her friends and
remarked audibly:
well, 1 might as we'll stay in jail
and serve out the sentence. IT is an

In lmost every letter in the possession
Of Deputy District Attorney Fleming
some remar.: is made of the proposed
murder and the plot is clearly defined
in sentences used by Mrs. Scheck, such
as:
II am trying to get him to increase
his insurance"
81 do not want to take him to Ari-
zona. for after THAT happens 1 will
be compelled to bring him back and
then go back to you and wear those
damnable black clothes"
While hundreds of even more diect
sentences on the murder appear in
every letter Of the criminal correspon-
dence.
And with the discovery of the letters.
attorneys for the prosecution have
taken up another turn which they may
investigate, to the effect that Stack
pole, after getting rid of the husband,
attempted to hold the damning evil
dence of the letters over the woman's s
head until he had wrung the insurance
money from her For what other rea-
son, they ask, did he keep such letters
in safe deposit box?
Yesterday II was announced by the
defense that Ernest Stackpole would
probably take the stand. 1t may even
be their contention. according to the
statements OF the attorneys, that Mrs.
Scheck fired the fatal shot which killed
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-16

them and used every possible means to
stave off the time of their appearance,
but today will see the finish, and be-
fore the last hour of the days session
has passed, the jurymen will know
upon what the prosecution backed its
careful case and by what evidence the
statements of Mrs. Scheck are to be
supported.
Every step of the illicit love of the
man and woman, the woman's criminal
love for the man and his unholy pas
sion for her, ring through the pages of
the correspondence.
The hideous plan of the murder is
traced step by step in the letters. The
first letters from the woman, written
home for Morenci, Ariz, are rather
tinid, as though she were feeling her
way. Gradually the whole truth was
forced upon her, and in her answers
to the man she left off her timid allu-
sions to the crime to be committed and
came out IN cold, hard terms of the
plan TO be followed.
She even went step further, after
preparing for the murder, and pre-
pared for the flight and the spending
Of the insurance money
Rented Deposit Box
When Stackpole returned to Los An
geles from Morenci he made a hurried
trip to a we'll known banking house
and rented a safe deposit box there
Today one of the clerks of that bank
will take the stand and Identify Stack
pole as the man to whom he rented
the box. He will further state that the
box was visited once only and that
visit was made by Stackpole on the
day Of the rental, when he deposited
bundle of papers These papers were
afterward found to be the fatal let
could be easily gotten at. but why the
careful Stackpole should have saved
the discriminating evidence with which
to hang himslf Is one of the peculiar
freaks which fate occasionally springs
as a surprise upon those who tamper
too far with her.
In the early letters Of March Mrs.
Scheck talks continually of her love
for Stackpole. The letters are amorous,
and darling dear" and other choice
expressions appear in every line.
"Do not be hard with poor Joel, for
he has been i'll and is very weak" is
the first allusion to the proposed crime,
and 1t appears In letter written dur
ing March
In April the plot had been thorough
ly formed and was the one theme Of
interest in the letters.
Wanted More Insurance
Dearest. darling love-" wrote Mrs,
Scheck in answer to one Of Stackpoles
letters ''What do you mean, dear,
when you say that !, too ought to get
my life insured? l have been trying
to get Joel to insure his life more
heavily In the lodge. as you told me,
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-16

and am also trying to get him to take
up heavy accident insurance, but |
don't know whether or not he will
do it,
The next letter shows the woman's
cunning.
About that poison she writes,
you know that would be dangerous,
for you knew, DEAR that an examina-
tion might be made and the doctors
might discover it, for it is hard to fool
them"
Following is one of the letters written
by Mrs. Scheck in the early days Of
May, when she thought that Stackpole
was going to return to Los Angeles on
the 18th:
Writes of Proposed Crime
Hello. Dear:
well, darling, you do not know how
nice 1T was of you to write that nice
long letter. You know 1 received my
letter first and read it and then
gave the one you addressed to my
husband to him and he read his letter.
Joel laughed because you wanted to
advance him the money to come down
there in Arizona. You know that he
does not care very much to come, but
have done all can do to get him to
go there.
you know that in case I did go
there that would have to stay there
until THAT happened and then
would have to bring him back to Los
Angeles and then return to you. Then
/ would have to wear those damnable
black clothes for so long down there
for everyone in that little town would
know about Joel's death.
But I wish you could come here
soon and then you could do THAT here
and there would not be so much trou-
BILE. You know when 1 try and say
what we will do after THAT happens
can hardly say 1t, but we will go
to some little town and have 1t over
quickly. l have been making those
dresses as you told me to. l have a
nice white one and it looks very fine
on me. I have been telling Joel that
the dress is for friend and that am
to get money for making 1t, and, of
course. can pay myself.
well. goodbye, dear; 1 got your
little card with the baby Cupid on 1t.
Your loving wife,
"RILLA STACKPOLE,"
Prepares Mourning Clothes
The word that" in the letters is
used, according to the statements of
attorneys, to designate the murder
An even more conclusive piece Of
evidence is found In a letter written
about three days before Stackpole re-
turned to Los Angeles.
Here is a portion OF it.:
Hello, dear.
well. darling. / have been working
hard on those dresses you told me TO
make. You told me you liked blue so
have made two OF that color. | have
also made white and pink one and
