IN JAIL FOURTEEN YEARS
To PROTECT BROTHERS
Breaks Silence on Murder
Plot and Aged Man
Is Arrested

CHARLOTTE. Mich, March 2s.-silas
Compton, aged 20, was arrested at
Athens. Pa, yesterday. according to
dispatches from that city, charged
with the murder of William Lampman
of Grand Ledge. Mich, November IA,
1892. The warrant is based on an
affidavit made by John Butcher. who
has served fourteen years on a life
sentence at the Jackson prison for the
crime.
Butcher says he has kept silent all
these years TO protect his brothers.
Frank and John, farmers, who, he
claims. were in the plot with Compton
to rob the old man, who was rich and
regarded as miserly. He insists Comp
ton was the slayer. On the day Of
his arrest John Butcher made a con-
fession, in which he said. he did the
killing alone, but afterward denied
the admission.
The old man lived at the edge of
town, was rs years old, and was a
land owner. His skull was fractured
and a pair of overalls were used to
choke him to death.

corroboratio not sufficient If 1t
merely shows the commission of the
offense or the circumstances thereof"
PROSECUTION Is VICTORIOUS
The statement of District Attorney
Langdon shows that the prosecution
has been keeping one eye on the stat
utes while using the other to search
out grafters and bribers.
Ruef's satellites were pluming them
selves upon Inside information" that
Calhoun and his agents in the United
Railroads could not be convicted of
bribery in the trolley steal without the
testimony of the archgrafter, and that
the archgrafter would refuse to tes-
tify unless he were granted immunity
from punishment.
Langdon's declaration explains why
the prosecution has not had any deal
ings with Ruef. With the evidence in
hand Ruefs testimony would only be
corroborative. Schmitz is In the same
boat Even the friends of the boss and
the Mayor feel that it is only a ques-
tion Of time and trial until the whole
history of the Doodle administration
Will have been exposed.
Reduced logically to an inference, II
is safe to say that Ruef must go to
prison, and the duration of his term
will depend upon the evidence he gives
against those who are higher up" If
he gives no evidence he can figure out
what is coming to him on the minimum
OF sixty five indictments-sixty-fi five
years in the penitentiary.
The San Francisco call., 1907-03-24

II had remained for a woman TO
shatter the last hope Of the bribe-
givers. They relied for safety on the
law of the state which DEGREES that
the testimony of accomplices is not by
itself suficient to convict, but when
Nellie Smith. ~stenographer, changed
her mind Yesterday and told the Grand
Jurv what she knew about numerous
letters relating TO the payment of bribe
money by A. X. Detwiler of the Home
Telephone Company the prosecution in
the graft cases scored an advantage
that has put fear into the hearts of
the men who have been debauching the
city's officials.
The confessions of the Supervisors
who. with greedy hands, took every
thing that came their way, constituted
strong evidence against the bribe-
givers. but the testimony of witnesses
not in the conspiracy to put municipal
privileges on the bargain counter was
absolutely necessary to assure convic-
tion. Nellie Smith supplied the want
against Ruef and Detwiler. Her story
completed the chain and brought the
curly-haired boss to the very door Of
the penitentiary. AS for the Ohio mil
lionaire, the prosecution is confident
that his only chance Of escaping punish
ment lies in keeping out of the reach
of the long arm OF the law. Ine pros
ecution predicts that he will soon be IN
custody.
EVIDENCE Is SUFFICIENT
Testimony other than that Of con-
snirators was also needed in the case
based on the bribes given by the fight
trust, the gas company, the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany and the United Railroads. but
District Attorney Langdon declares
that the prosecution now has every
thing that is necessary. He made
statement to that effect yesterday. ex-
pressing his confidence of success in
the following words
.In every case the evidence of the
prosecution IN sufficient to convict
without the confessions of the acces-
sories."
The bribe-g givers and the defenders
of Abe Ruef would have laughed at
such a statement yesterday morning.
but now that Nellie Smith has told
all she knew they fear they have un-
derestfmated the ability of the prose-
cutors. The particular portion of the
law on which they rested their weight,
only to find it would not hold them
up. is known as section I'LL of the
Penal Code. and reads as follows;
"a conviction cannot be had on the
testimony of an accomplice unless he
is corroborated by other evidence
which in itself and without the aid
of the testimony of the accomplice
tends TO connect the defendant with

he is unable to comprehend the sudden
