Was NOT SUICIDE

Murdered.
WHITLOW~ UNDER ARREST
Man Accused Of Committing crlms
Wac On the stand Three
Hours But Nothing
New Developed.

lola, Kan, Oct. 1.-THE coroner
Jury which has spent three days In
vestigating the mysterious death O.
May Sapp Thursday night returned
q verdict that Miss Sapp died from
wounds in the neck caused BY sharI
instrument In the hands Of a person
or persons other than Miss Sapp." Sc
determined was the jury to make
plain their disbelief in the theory Of
suicide in connection with the case
that when they inadvertently word.
ed their verdict to read, that
Miss Sapp's death was caused by
"a person or persons unknown to Miss
Sapp." they promptly changed 1t to
"a person or persons other than Miss
sapp."
A warrant was sworn out Thursday
night for Samuel F. Whitlow immedi-
ately after the coroner's jury reported.
John Sapp. father of the dead girl,
swore to the complaint. charging Whit
low with the crime.
Whitlow was on the stand for three
hours Thursday afternoon. He did not
change his original story in any par
ticular and he added nothing material
to his FIRST confession. Every one not
relative was barred from the hear
ing when Whitlow was testifying.
The county attorney spent two hours
with Whitlow at the jail earlier in the
day, but 1t Is not believed he secured
any important facts from the prisoner.
Mrs. Whltlow was submitted to a Sc
we're cross examination, the special
purpose Of which was to establish the
fact that she was not present when
the girl was killed. She told a straight
forward story corroborating her for
mer testimony and convinced the jury
that she was at home with her chill.
dren when the tragedy occurred.
John Haner, q neighbor Of the Sapp |
family, testified that upon one oc-
casion he heard Miss Sapp talking to
herself, waving her arms excitedly and
In other ways acting strangely when
she was alone. He was. not near
enough TO hear what the girl said, but
his attention was attracted by the
SOUNDS she made, He had never seen
Miss Sapp act in this strange manner
but once. S

CASSIE CHADWICK IS DEAD
Kind Came to Famous Woman 10

Her Fraudulent Financial Transaction
Extended Into the Millions

friends or relatives waited at her bed
side; only the prison physician AM
hospital attendants. Her son, Emf
Hoover. has been summoned fro
Cleveland, but he was not expected
to arrive before Friday.
The decline In Mrs. Chadwick
health began almost from the time
she entered the penitentiary on Jan
uary 10, 1906, sentenced to ten years
imprisonment. She fretted incessant
ly over her confinement and worried
about her troubles until 1t became al
most impossible for her to sleep. Al
times she was SO peeyish the patience
of the prison officials was sorely tried
Mrs. Chadwick was a robust and
healthy looking woman when she
came to the prison, but she gradually
wasted away and had lost fully 30
pounds at the time Of her death. Her
last Illness dated back about three
weeks when she suddenly collapsed
during an interview with her son, Emil
Hoover. She was confined to a cot
in the hospital of the women's ward
from that time until her death Al
times she became delifious but she
never talked of her misfortuRes dur
ing these periods. The physicians de
clared Mrs. Chadwick was the victim
Of total nervous collapse described
in medical science as neurasthenia.
In the latter part of 1902, or early
in 1908, Mrs. Chadwick, in the pres.
ence of her husband, gave to Mr.. Rey-
nolds, the cashier Of the Wade Park
Bank of Cleveland, box containing
notes signed with the name of Andrew
Carnegie. These forged notes are al
legged TO have amounted to $500 900, |
Reynolds gave, to Mrs. Chadwick a re-
celpt for TIE papers. which described |
the notes and the signatures upon |
them. Mrs. Chadwick left with Rey.
holds as an explanation Of the exist.
ence of the notes the statement that
she was a natural daughter of Car
1egie.
With the receipt Of Reynolds in her
Hrs. Chadwick went to diff
erent banks and many capitalists. max.
ng loans and paying not only high
interest to the banks, but heavy
'onuses to the bank oficials who
Oaned her the money. The extent of
hese transactions will never be
nown to the family but they ran up
lto the millions. They involved men
high standing in the financial world
nd caused heavy losses to many

For the Future.

The secret of happiness is inward
 People had good times when there were no friction matches, no brilliantly illuminated streets, no steambOats or railroads, Eo sewing machines, no postage stamps, no comfortably heated homes, no telegraphs or trOlleys. The elements of happiness are not in things but in human nature itself. But tue fairer conditions, the greater oppor tunitieS, which the marvellous modern inventions afford to the masses of O.. humanity should augment our joy anzl expand our hopes. The most obvious fact of human history is that of prog resS. The race is following a flyn.s and a growing ideal It is inspired anl saved by hope. Every helpful inyel- tion, every improvement of sanitary conditions. every new ray of intellec tual and spiritual illumination. every scientific achievement, every ameliora tion of physical suffering, every new avenue of enjoyment, every victory of righteousness, every faithful deed in lowly and lofty places, increases the splendor and the power of our vision of the future.-Leslie's Weekly.

False Messiahs,

The defense of different persons claiming to be the Messiah has cost the Jews great expense, both in treasure and human life. One of these Coziba, who lived in the second cen tury of our era, put himself at the head of the Jewish nation as their. Messiah, and many of that people ad hered to and defended him. The Ro- mans made war upon CoZiba and his followers, and, according to admissions made by eminent Jewish authority, they lost somewhere between 1O0OOD and 6OO,OOO men in his defense. The last of these impostors was Mordecai. a German, who first claimed to be of divine origin in the year 16S2. When the authorities threatened to punish him as an impostor he fled. and his en.! is not known.

Surf Ridinq Is Fine Sport.

At Waikiki. near Honolulu is q ia nous bathing beach. Here winter and summer the surf canoes or, better yet. the surf boards come dancing in on the long rollers. and men become amphib- ious. There is no sensation quite com parable to riding a surf board on a Pacific roller. It is tobogganing on a moving hillside of water, or, if you are clever enough to stand up on your board, it is taking this hillside on a single big skee. The beach runs far out before it shelves into deep water and at high tide the breakers begin to mount almost half mile from the shore line. You go out there with your surf board and wait for the wave. You learn to catch it at the right moment throw your board inshore and climb upon it just as the crest of the roller mounts ana catches you. Then on this crest you sail in toward the shore, to slide down at last when the wave breaks. down the foaming incline into shallow water and churning foam. It is royal sport.-Travel Magazine.

Strenuous ChivaIry.

It is complained that modern condi- tions are killing ''the chivalry of the middle ages" But mediaeval tales and romances show what that chivalry really was. Wife beating was con- mon incident on the part of those Knights and gentlemen whose gallantry was mere convention The Chevalier de la Tour-Landry in his book of eoun- sels to his daughters tells them the story of a woman who used to contra dict her husband in public. One day, after expostulating in vain, he knock ell her down, then kicked her face and broke her nose And so," comments the good chevaller, "she was disfig- ured for life, and thus, through her i'll behavior and bad temper, she had her nose spoiled, which was great mis- fortune to her." But not word is said about the husbands brutality.

Luke Whitaker Finds Pike County

Is giving the State policemen all the
fun they want. A few days ago he
was located at Egypt Mills and
Constable John Gallagher alone tried

had with the notorious young outlaw
and seek assistance. Whitaker took
to the tall timbers and when the Of
flcers returned they found their man
had left.
In defiance OF the law, Whitaker
for nearly seven months has kept the
authorities of both Pike and Mon
roe in hot water. He Is playing the
Jesse James act to perfection, and
the fact that he insists upon making
friendly visits to farmer friends and
takes an occasional meal with rela-
tive. Is most tantalizing to the OH
GERS.
Perhaps no man in Pike County
knows the many hiding places better
than Whitaker, and being a crack
shot, only zero weather may induce
him to change his present plans OF
keeping out of the way of his pres
