Well as Mrs. Pratt-county Attor-

Special to Times-Tsepublican


Rockwell City, Jan. 24.--Will Persing,
indicted with Mrs. Pratt for the
alleged murder of Joseph Pratt, the
woman's husband, is still in Jail Coun-
ty Attorney Hutchinson has not yet de-
cided what he will do with Persings
case. Persing was much disappointed
when he learned that he would not be
released, as he was led to believe that
the case against him would be dropped
Neither is it yet certain that Mrs. Pratt
will not be again tried. There is some
talk that the state may find additional
evidence that would give the state
better chance. Hutchinson has been
quoted as saying he believed both Mrs.
Pratt and Persing guilty, but that the
fact that the body of Pratt had been
'embalmed with arsenic brought in an
element of doubt and the prisoner being
a woman with two bright little girls
the jurors naturally We're 10th to find
a verdict on anything less than posi-
tive evidence.
One of the features of the case was
the symptoms in Pratt's case, brought
out in the evidence given by neighbors
and friends of the dead man, who were
at his bedside during the fatal sickness
When the state opened AND the Wit
nesses began telling of the peculiar
symptoms manifested by Pratt and
of by him, the state was
puzzled. 1t did not then understand
what these symptoms meant and so
Senator Healy wrote to one of the best
physicians in Iowa and asked him his
advice.

TRAVELLING MEN SAVE LIFE.
Kindness Toward w j. Donaworthy,
of Charlton Has Splendid Effect.

Special to Tiines-Republican.
Charlton, Jan. 24.-The kindness of
travelling men who met in convention
at Des Moines Saturday and donated
the sum of $1,250 to w. j. Donaworthy,
of this place, i'm all likelihood saved the
life of a dying man. Donaworthy
stumbled over a barrel several months
ago, but did not think he was serious
ly hurt, and permitted the time to
eiapse in which he should have filed a
Calm against the Iowa State Travel
ing Mems Association. Just after the
time had passed his limb swelled and
caused him serious trouble. 1t was
amputated six inches below the hip
joint few days ago.
Discouragement at the loss of a
limb and the knowledge that when he
recovered he would not be able to
travel again had a great deal to do
with keeping him belfast. When the
news. came over long distance phone
from Des Moines Saturday evening
that the convention had almost unani-
mously voted to pay the $1.250 claim
which it was not bound by the rules
of the order to pay, there was great
rejoicing at the Donaworthy home and
today it is reported that Mr.. Dona-
worthy is much better. Saturday it
was reported that the. man would not
live kilograms have been coming in
from travelling men who never heard
of Donaw orthy until his case was
brought up in tile meeting at Des
