TRUNK FULL OF CLOTHES
Psrkston Citizens Committee Took
Trunk Fun Of Bloody Clothes
Over to Sioux Falls,

Messrs. Quinn the states attorney
for Hutchinson county, VIM. Noel
Ter, al. p. Shaw and John Zenpfhen-
ming, OF ..Parkston, were in the city
Monday evening on their way to
Sioux Falls to attend the continue
ton of the preliminary examination
or Mrs. Nose Kaufman, who is as
ISOLATED with the crime OF taking
the life OF Miss AGNES Polreis. The
examination will be taken up tomor-
row morning.
MI. Quinn had with him a trunk
containing the colthes worn by Miss
POlreis several days before the MUIR
der happened and those she wore
when she was so brutally beaten.
These clothes will be introduced as
further evidence that a crime was
committed. A full description OF
these clothes appeared in a special
telegram from Parkston and was
published in The Republican last
evening.
Mr.. Moeller said that but for the
inspection made by his daughter OF
the corpse that 1T would have been
possible for Miss Polreis to have been
buried without any suspicion being
aroused of foul play. He said his
daughter viewed the remains of the
dead girl for some time and noticed
that from Il finger the bone pro-
jected and that her hair was cut
away. She called her fathers at
tention to these details, which lie
had failed to observe when he looked
1t the corpse. This condition was
n0ised about and when the funeral
was held and the remains showed in
the church everybody took especial
care 60 note the Disbursements.
After the body had been placed in
the grave Mr.. Moeller and relatives
fell TO discussing the suspicious cir
cumstances and it was finally decided
TO exhume the body, which was done,
ana the investigation that followed
lead up 10 the present situation.

CORPORATION HONESTY

What Chas. r. Bruce, editor OF
the Elk Point s. D.. Courier has to
say about the New York Life lnsur-
ance Co:
Who was it that said corporations
have no souls? Some haven't, no
doubt, but there are others that do.
For instance, the New York Life
Insurance Co., recently of their own
accord. filed with Insurance Com
missioner Perkins a supplementary
report showing an excess of S32. 600
in their premium receipts in this
state over the amounL shown in
their former report. A few days
ago they paid $500 additional taxes
for last yearsbecause OF their hon
esty. The New York Life is n of
the three big New York insurance
companies against which Lawson
has made such a fight In this con-
nection we are not surprised to note
that the insurance Investigating
committee of the New York legisla-
ture which has just reported, found
the New York Life substantial and
conservative. with assets even better
than their own claims and with a
most systematic and effective bust
ness management.
The above paragraph is not paid
for. TIE writer confesses to an In
terest in the New York Life, in
which he has held a policy for a
number of years, out, honesty and
straightforward business ought to be
recognized wherever found. A dozen
Lawsons could not shake our conf
dence in q concern of which the
above are only everyday incidents.
