STORY WHICH CAUSED DEATH OF
Three BY LYNCHING WAS FALSE

Springfield, Mo-, May 25.-The spe-
cial grand jury investigating the mob
of April IA, which hanged and burned
three negroes, has made it's final re-
port. The jury found that no attack
had been committed on Mrs. Nina Ed
wards. as alleged; that it was impossi-
BILE for the two negroes, Duncan and
Croker, to have been at the scene of
the alleged assault at the time it was
committed; that the sheriff and the
police department were negligent in
the performance of their duty.
Two of the men who were lynched
were arrested the day after the woman
made public her story. She was a do
mestic who came to Springfield seek
ing employment. According to her
story she was driving with a young
man when two negroes beat her escort
into insensibility and then dragged her
into a clump of bushes
Woman's Story Never Believed.
Her story was doubted at the time,
but it's publication aroused the rough
er element Of the town. The police ar

rested two negroes. The woman said
she could not identify them. but the
men were kept in the county Jail.
A mob, inf1amed by the woman's S
story and by series of crimes, which
had stirred up race hatred against ne
groes, attacked the Jail with the inten-
tion of lynching every negro prisoner
found there.
Crowd Watches Triple Murder.
The two men arrested on the
strength of the girls story, now prov
en- false, were dragged from the Jail
to the town square, a distance of two
miles. There they were hanged to an
electric light pillar and allowed to drop
into bonfire. where they burned to
death The mob then returned to the
Jail and secured another negro, who
met the same fate
A mob of several thousand persons
thronged the square while the negroes
were being killed The girl who start
ed the trouble witnessed the lynching,
but refused to identify the men whose
lives paid for her lie.

PEKIN BANKERS ARE INDICTED
Each Defendant Furnishes Bail in the
Sum of $4,000.

Pekin, H.. May 25.-The TaZewell
county grand jury has returned 125 in
dictments against each of the Ties,

Conrad Luppen. E. FINLAND and Henry
Block. They are charged with embez-
element in receiving deposits after the

Luppe Luppen were not indicted. The
report was received by Judge Worth
ington of Peoria and he placed the
bail TO cover all indictments against
each defendant, at $4,000, and it was
promptly furnished. The bank closed
its doors ApriF2, 1906. with liabilities

PASTOR WITH RAZOR
WINS PROMISE TO WE'D
Minister Causes a Sensation
He Resigns.

Aurora, Ill. May 25.-"Marry me or
will kill YOU and myself" declared
the Rev. Edward H. Shepley, pastor of
the First Congregational church at
Geneva, to Edith Wilson, school teach
er, according to the girls story. While
they were out driving, Miss Wilson
says, the minister drew a razor and
threatened her, and to save her life
she consented.
The girls story has caused a furry
in the little city of Geneva that has
forced the resignation of the minister.
1t is said other charges will follow.
Shepley disappeared and no trace of
him can be found. A curious feature
of the scandal is that bolt of light
ming struck the steeple of the church
as Shepley was writing out his resig-
nation in his study.

Judge Mcpherson Rules
for Crosby in Re-
bate Case.
OTHER TWO ARE HELD
More Interesting Facts Are
Brought Out by the
Government.

Kansas City. Mo-, May 25-Judge
Mcpherson in the United States dis
trict court this morning sustained the
demurrer to the indictment against
George H. Crosby, former freight traf-
fic manager of the Burlington railway,
charged with alleged conspiracy to
grant rebates on freight shipments
from the east to Missouri points. The
judge sustained the claim that the gov
ernment had failed to present suffi-
cient evidence to show a conspiracy,
discharged the defendant
Judge Mcpherson this afternoon
overruled the demurrer to the indict-
ments against George L. Thomas and
l.. B. Taggart of New York City. The
case will go to the jury this afternoon
Many Received Money.
Kansas City, Mo, May 25.-Members
of a half dozen large business firms ad-
mitted here yesterday at the trial in
the federal court of George H. Crosby,
Burlington traffic manager: George l..
Thomas. New York freight broker, and
the latters clerk, L. b. Taggart. that
they had received thousands of dollars
in commissions from unknown sourc-
es." All the firms had hired Thomas
to attend to the shipping of their goods
from the Atlantic seaboard to their
stores in ST. Louis and Kansas City,
but none of the witnesses would say
this money had come from Thomas.
No Records Kept.
w. E. Emery, a member of the f. B.
Thayer Drygoods company of Kansas
City. who admitted receiving from ST.
500 to $4,000 year, said he did not
know who sent it. He supposed it came
from Thomas. Notwithstanding large
sums thus paid in commissions, none
of the firms had kept any record of the
amounts. according to the witnesses.
All the payments were made in New
York.
Several officials of the Burlington
railway was examined as to the pay
ment of these commissions. Their tes-
timony developed the fact that vouch-
ers for the amounts mad disappeared.
Government Rests Case.
The government rested it's side of the
case in the afternoon. when Judge
Spencer. for the defendants. filed a de-
murrer in all cases, arguing no evi
dence had been produced to show a
case of conspiracy, and even if such
evidence had been presented, the court
lacked jurisdiction, as it was alleged
the crime was committed in New York
and not in Missouri. He asked that the
case of Crosby be dismissed. Judge
Mcpherson overruled the motion as to
Crosby.

Boyneburg, general manager of Reak-

flied before the interstate commerce

the company had been practically ruin
ed through inability to secure cars.

for the past two years and a half. He
had complained to almost every official
of the Pennsylvania railroad, but got
no relief
