Chicago. March 2S.-Labor leaders
In the conferences which were in
terrupted yesterday by the refusal of
the men to accept the offer of the gen.
eral managers of the western rail-
roads, met today to consider the move
threatened by the managers to avoid
strike. The managers have an
nounced that they will invoke the aid
of the Erdman act which provides for
arbitration. The leaders of the labor
interests would not discuss this phase
of the situation today.
Representatives of the trainmen and
conductors decided late today that
they will ignore the proposition of the
general managers looking to arbitra-
tion under the Erdman act, and voted
to persist in their preparations for a
strike. They declare that a walk-out
is imminent, unless the managers
make some further concessions.

a title. It is known that definite

Springfield, Mo-, March 28.-That he
stabbed and killed his pretty sweet
heart during brain storm" incident
to an ATTACK of emotional insanity
will be the plea of Garland B. Moore,
who will probably be placed on trial
for his life at the present session of
the criminal court. Alienists will test
ttfy that the young man, who commit
ted the fouleSt, bloodiest crime In the
history of the Ozark country, Is a
victim of heriditary-insanity, result
Ang in mental explosions and an ex-
aggerated ego. Many witnesses have
been stbpoenaed who will testify that
In the family of Moore's father and
mother insanity has existed and It is
on this evidence alone that the at
torneys for the assassin hope to save
him from the gallows.
On the night Of December 4 last,
Garland Moore stabbed to death his
sweetheart and former fiancee, Miss
Clara West, at Bods dare, a little town
ten miles northwest of here. The mur-
der followed a quarrel in which Moore
demanded that Miss West renew their
engagement which had been broken OF
by the young woman. His pleading
proving useless, Moore seized a BUTCH
er knife from the dining room table
and stabbed his sweetheart repeatedly
four times in the back, once in the
throat and once in the head. A cousin
of Miss West, who had been in the
room, ran screaming for help. When
she returned the girl was lying on
the floor In pool of her own blood.
"Ho has killed me-" Hhe whiHr1erei
and lost consciousness, dying four
hours later. Moore fled but was cap
tured by officers and lodged in jail
here where he has been since. The
murdered girl was a member of one
of the best known and wealthiest FAM
lilies of this section while Moore was a
rural mail carrier.
After his arrest Moore wept violent
ly, declaring that he had been driven
to the deed by his unrequited affec-
tion for the young woman, and begged
to be allowed to see her dead body.
This request was refused by the offic-
ers, VINO feared that such an act
would arouse the anger of the people,
many threats of lynching having been
made Immediately after the discovery
of the crime.
Since his Incarceration In the jail
here Moore has preserved moody
silence and refuses absolutely to dis
cuss the case. The fact of the mur-
der of Miss West by Moore is so we'll
established that it will not be likely
be denied by the defense, and the
efforts of the lawyers will be con-
fined to an attempt to prove Moore
insane. ....
