At this point in obedience to sug-
gestion, Stackpole asked whether he
| could have Mrs. Scheck put on the
stand and was asked what he hoped
to prove by her.
Stackpole-Lots of things. l could
prove a whole lot.
Mr.. Fleming-Well, subpoena her.
Do you wish to take the stand, Stack
pole?"
| Stackpole-No.
A death like stiffness hovered over
| the room. Each one Strengthened up
to note the door through which Mrs.
Scheck would enter. Stackpole seemed
unmoved when the woman entered.
Mrs. Scheck Appears
Mrs. Scheck was clad entirely in
black, with a black veil. On raising it
her face showed that she was troubled.
Her eyes and Stackpoles did not meet.
She kept her head turned from him.
Attorney Fleming stood between the
two. She merely nodded her head when
the oath was given her.
Judge Rose-Proceed. ASK the ques-
tions, Stackpole.
stackpole-When did 1 first meet
you?
Mrs. Scheck - Near Christmas.
These were the only words that she
spoke on the stand.
Stackpole ran his fingers through
his hair, ruffling it. He seemed nom
plussed, then said;
Under what circumstances did we
become acquainted?"
Mr.. Fleming objected to the queS-
tion. Judge Rose said that he was in
clned to be lenient with the, man be-
cause he had no lawyer and Offered to
ask the questions If Stackpoe would
tell him what he wanted to bring out.
Stackpole-I was merely asking a
simple question.
Judge Rose-If you will state what
you want to bring out the court will
ask the questions.
stackpole dndifferently)-That all.
That's all.
Mrs. Scheck then left the room. She
appeared to be crying, but her veil
partially hid her face.
Judge Rose then read the decision
that he had sufficient belief that the
prisoner was guilty of the crime with
which he was charged to bind him over
to the superior court without bail,
A slight flush crept over Stackpole's S
face then he resumed his natural
color. He said nothing, but calmly
pulled a cigarette from his pocket and
lighted it. being careful to throw the
match in a cuspldor.

pole remained calm. The only time that
he seemed at all disconnected was when
Mrs. Scheck was brough: into the court
room.
A number of the relatives of the
murdered man were present during the
examination. Scheck's father sat on a
front seat during the morning but was
not able to be present in the afternoon.
He sat leaning forward with his hand
behind his ear to catch what might be
said and yet seemingly not to hear

man, was the first man called He said

According to the finding of Police
Judge Rose at 8 p. m. T'hursdav Ernest
G.. Stackpole must answer to the
charge of murder of Joel Scheck on the
morning Of June ii in the superior
court.
Mrs. Aurellia Scheck, wife of the
murdered man, was brought into the
court room a few minutes before the
examination came to a close, being sub
poenaed by Stackpole. The only other
witness that Stackpole summoned was
o. w. Bowling, barber.
After the people had closed their case
Stackpole was asked If he wished to
have any Witnesses. Bowling was ex-
amined. The court asked him if there
were any more witnesses. Stackpole
looked steadily at the judge and was
shaking his head, when according to
the police a reporter who had been all
lowed to sit on the jury bench just be-
hand Stackpole in order that he might
better hear the Testimony, leaned over
and whispered, "Have them bring in

Women Nearly tainted
When the lower doors were opened
for the hearing the crowd rushed into
the Railways. Officers had almost to

When the afternoon session was COM

the doors were finally opened a grand
rush was made. Sixteen women and
eight men secured admission. Women

Stackpole then seemed for the first
time to take an interest in the case.
He asked for an explanation of the
word mammalian Before the court
had finished giving it, he had apparent
ly lost all interest in what the judge
was saying.
Hears Significant Talk
Probably the most startling evidence
presented during the procedure was
that of George Williams, 536 West
Fifty-seventh street. when he related a
conversation between Mrs. Scheck and
Stackpole.
''On the 5th of June 1 passed the two

John r. Herman, who lives at Fourth
and Los Angeles streets, said that he
heard two shots and about four min
utes afterwards heard Mrs. Scheck
screaming. He went to the Schecb
home and then to the home of Mrs
Scheck's mother. He was told to cal
Scheck's best friend, Stackpole. He ac-
companied Mrs. Nettie Scholl to the

When we went to his room we saw a
light streaming through the transom
over the door. He asked no particulars
in regard to the murder on the way to
the Scheck home."
Mrs. Nettie Scholl gave startling tes-
timony when she said that Stackpole
tried to get her to swear before the
coroners jury that he was reading a
newspaper when they entered his room
and that he had come to the door with
the paper in his hand. She said that
she saw no magazine or paper.
Mrs. Scholl lived next door to the
Schecks. and regarding the shooting
said: II heard two shots. In about
five minutes l heard Mrs. scheck

when we told him that Scheck was
dead. He coolly put on his collar and

but he seemed in no hurry"
Explains Blood Stains
DR.. George w. Campbell said that he
performed an autopsy on Scheck's body
and found that one bullet had pene-
trated the brain and that another had
pierced his left lung and his heart. He
testified that blood might squirt from
the wounds upon the hands of the man
who inflicted them. This testimony
apparently was secured in order to con-
meet the bloody handkerchief found in
Stackpole's possession when he was
arrested and charged with the murder
w. L. Baker. 513 South Los Angeles
street, said that he went with Stack
pole the next day after the murder
to his room. He appeared nervous"
said Baker, ''and exclaimed: I'm so
sorry. They'll accuse Aurelia. It'll
take her SO much longer to get over the
shock There were two detectives
standing on the stairs and Stackpole
grew very nervous"
Locket and Letter
Detective Grant Roberds testified that
he went to the room about noon on
June IA and found a locket In black
vest hanging in the closet. The pic
ture in the locket was identified as
being the likeness Of Mrs. Scheck.
Roberds swore that Stackpole claimed
that the locket belonged TO him. A
picture Of Mrs. Scheck found in Stack
poles pocketbook was also offered

Previous efforts at an exposition Of

the voluminous issue of the Commercial
Bulletin, styled Fall Buyers Num-
ber,' and timed for circulation just in |
advance Of the crop movement and
upon jobbers and manufacturers.
The compilers have made a showing
that must stamp upon the mind of any
reader the fact that Minneapolis is
the center Of the northwest jobbing
trade and is forging ahead at re-
markable rate. Everything new in de.
velopment, as the expansion Of the
Wyman-P Partridge firm and the new
warehouses " erected for this house by
building and the various other addi-
tions, engagements or new departures
in the jobbing trade are pictured. In
this respect, as emphasizing the I'm.

for Minneapolis.

A feature of the publication is the
series of special articles by men promi-

Harris of the New England, entitled
"Individualism VS.. Collectivism,' in
which Mr.. Harris traces the rise of the
great enterprise representing concen-

smaller concerns. In this respect the
: country has not been overlooked and
number Of the most interesting articles
covering retail management and other
features have been written by country
merchants and travelling men in Min

On the whole, the issue is credit

benefit to the city as an advertisement

A. B. stickney, president Of the Great
Western railroad, yesterday told the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion how the railroads give concessions
to big shippers and avoid the anti-re-
bate law.
"Instead Of giving rebates,' he said
in response to an inquiry by James
Manahan, attorney for the Minnesota
Shippers association. "the railroads
I have called the attention of the inter
state commerce commission to the fact
that the constant filing of new tariff
sheets by the companies should not be
allowed. The manipulation Of tariff
sheets by the railroads has taken the
place of rebates.''

method Of direct payment of rebate9"

"No," replied Mr.. stickney, II do
not think that any Of those methods are
followed, but the tariff sheets are CEN
family manipulated, and unless the ship
per is familiar with their intricacies
he might not get as favorable rate
as some other shipper
Mr.. Stickney illustrated with the
case of Little Rock merchant who had
been charged 70 cents on certain ship
ment. The merchant complained. The
general agent wrote that there was a
tariff connected with the Little Rock
schedule which stated that the Little
Rock rate should not be higher than the
St. Louis tariff, which was SO cents.
Later, another rule was dug UP which
said that in the Little Rock case the
Memphis rule should govern, which
| made the rate 25 cents.

| Mr.. Stickney testified that in order
to keep up with changes in tariffs at
competitive points, it is necessary for

| of four new tariff sheets day.
! Mr.. Manahan asked if it were not
true that coal is frequently carried be-

Stickney replied that it was often car:
