Mrs. Todd can remove the suspicion
that she either aided Steele in the
murder. or had guilty knowledge of
it. In the public mind she is not
held guiltless.
And the public mind has sufficient
grounds upon which to base it's opin-
ion, as will be seen by hurriedly
glancing over her actions and state
ments since the murder, and casually
seeking a motive.
Her first story, told the morning
of the murder was discovered, was
that she knew nothing of it until
she found the body in the yard. In
telling her second story, in which she
admitted seeing Steele standing over
the body of her husband, after her
attention had been called by hearing
a SCUFFLE, she accounted for the
former tale by saying that Steele had
threatened to kill her If she betrayed
him. Such reason should not de-
ceive the merest tryo in police af-
fairs. If she really feared Steele, her
safety from him would have laid in
Immediately denouncing him, and so
place him where he could not harm
her. But, in speaking of this second
statement later, she told a reporter
'she would NOT HAVE TOLD 1T If
she had not become convinced that
all Steele was after was her money"
The unsupported story of Steele
should not be accepted as conclusive
unless with some degree Of corrobor-
alton, but no effort should be neg

The daily papers of Seattle and
Tacoma all had a dispatch in Sat-
urday's issues-presumably written
by the coroner, who is said to corre-
spond for those papers-practically
in the same words, that undertook
to clear Mrs. Todd Of the Implications
contained in Steeles confession. It
presumed to dispose of the attempted
poisoning part of the confession by
saying that local physician had
prescribed laudanum for Mr.. Todd,
and that the purchase of chloroform
by Mrs. Todd was for the purpose Of
cleaning some clothing. But it does
not give sufficient details to meet
with ready acceptance. The corre-
spondent fails to give the dates Of
the laudanum prescription and that
of it's purchase, and the fact that
chloroform was in the house only
strengthens Steele's statement. Rea-

BANKERS AGAINST
ELASTIC CURRENCY
indiana Association Goes on
Record to This Effect at
Annual Session.
SECURITY Is ESSENTIAL.
OPPOSED TO ANY PLAN THAT
DOES NOT MAKE 1T ABSOLUTE
Fl. c. JOHNSON OF SEYMOUR
NEW PRESIDENT.

Indianapolis Oct. 25.-The biggest
convention the Indiana Bankers asso-
citation ever held closed last night
with beefsteak dinner at the ClaypoOl
hotel. Four hundred of the states
financiers forgot business cares and
elastic currency and sat down and
enjoyed themselves.
The Indiana Bankers association in
closing session yesterday, placed itself
on record as being opposed to the en-
actment of the currency measure pro-
posed by the American Bankers asso-
citation, which would give the country
what is popularity known as an elias
tic currency"
The state association adopted res
olution indicating the sentiment of In
diana bankers. The report of the
committee was as follows:
Your committee on resolutions pre-
sents to the convention the following
preamble and resolution passed by the
Minnesota Bankers association, and
recommends that they be adopted as
the sentiments of the Indiana Bankers
association, viz:
Whereas, the prosperity Of our
country is due in large measure to the
absolute confidence of our people in
our present currency. Be it
Resolved, That while we are
strongly in favor of some well-secured
method to relieve monetary stringen-
cies that will not produce imitation, yet
We are unalterably opposed to any plan
or change in our currency that does
no. afford absolute security: hence we
do not look with favor upon the plan
proposed by the American Bankers as
ISOLATION committee.
H. c. Johnson Of Seymour is the new
president of the state association. The
bankers also elected J. e. Voris of Bed
ford. vice. president; Andrew S. Smith
of Indianapolis. secretary, and w. E.
Cook Of Corydon, treasurer.
