RIGGS LIFE INSURANCE
Money Left in Envelope to Make Last
Payment on Policy.

aElroy, Wis, July 13.-Nathan Riggs
may have paid the premium on an acci-
dent policy with some Of the money
taken from Millie Ellison at the time
of the murder. This was brought out
at the inquest over Riggs body, held
at Elroy yesterday.
R. w. Clark, an insurance agent at
Hudson, Wis, said that the payment on
Riggs accident policy Of $4,000 was
due shortly before the murder and that
Riggs did not have the money to meet
it. He expected it soon, however, and
told Clark that he would leave the
money with the station agent Tuesday,
the day Of the murder.
The crime must have made Riggs for,
to the agent as promised
At the inquest, however, the village
marshal, Searles, testified that when he
searched the murderer's body he found
letter addressed to Clark and contain

policy for $4,000. Il.

Many letters, written in cipher and
covering the correspondence between
Nathan Riggs and Millie Ellison for
number of years are in the hands of
the police and have been deciphered.
All pertain to the land deal in which
Riggs made the young woman believe
he was interested. In one letter, de-
ciphered since he journal gave
the key to the cipher yesterday, Riggs
wrote of the land scheme and how they
would get as much land as possible
from the government. Miss Ellison was
not to intimate that she was soon to
marry Riggs, for the government land
office would refuse to allow them both
to take land. She was warned not to
let James Ellison know anything about
it, lest he give away the scheme.
Writing June 19, Riggs declared he
ington-that night. But there is no
indication that he went.
The remainder Of the other letters
treats Of the meeting in Minneapolis.

had arranged for the meeting at the

scribed his whereabouts when Marcum
was shot. He saw Tom White como
out s Of the door of the courthouse Just
said he had no intimation that Marcum
was to be killed, and said he had never
spoken to Curtiss Jett, or any other
man, with reference to the killing Of
Marcum or any other person. He said
Moses 4Feltner never received any
him. He said Feltner wanted him to
prepare affidavits for Sam Fields and
Russell Sutton, but that he declined to
do So . f..s&
Hargis referred to the commonwealth
witnesses as "tloaters'' and men who
lurked about town, and it was necessary
for the court to admonish Hargis on
several occasions and instruct the Jury
not to consider such testimony.
In Clash with Attorney.
Hargis reflected several times on the
character of Attorney Adams and
Judge Corser sent the jury from the
room while Attorney Adams took the
defendant over the track. This was
objected to but the court ruled that
Hargis had made a serious reflection
against the commonwealth 9 attorney
and he believed Adams should be per
mitted to defend himself.
Hargis was questioned by Attorney
| Byrd on cross-examination. He said
he had no nl-feeling against Marcum as
a result of the contested election cases
| but he said they never spoke after the
indictment for criminal libel was re
turned against Marcum. He did moi
secure an indictment against Feltnel
because he did not feel that Feltnel

ties in Manchuria in favor Of Japanese
subjects in allowing them trade adVan-
tages denied to merchants from other
countries were answered to-day in
charge Of the Japanese embassy here,
s'We are anxious to learn of specific
cases Of such unfair play declared Mr..
Miyaoki. A good deal was heard late
ly about the irredeemable war notes
with which the Japanese army had
flooded the country, making trade dlttl-
cult for the foreigners, but when the
matter was investigated 1t was f0und G,1 a
that these notes were above par. That
some of the ports have not been opened
sooner is because at Dalny the embark
alton Of troops was continuing.

to perform these military operations
unhampered by the presence OF ord1na-

The Japanese provision merchants who

prize worth possessing, however,, ant
the japanese merchants are certain tx
do their best to capture it. They
