Ogden, Sept 26.-On a charge of murder
F. c. Walker and A. E. Lawrence were
arraigned in police court this morning.
After listening to the reading of the com
plant charging them with causing the
death of DR.. Earl S. Beers they were re-
manded to the custody Of the sheriff
without being asked to enter a plea to
the charge.
During the reading of the document
Walker stood with his eyes Tiveted to the
floor His face was if anything paler
than usual. but not tremor passed across
his features. Lawrence's appearance was
quite the opposite to that of Walker.
He looked as If the matter was something
of bore TO him In fact. his cOunte-
nance could have been but little different
had the whole affair been a huge joke.
Application for Bail.
Later in the day Attorney w r. Hutch
insOn of Salt Lake, counsel for the two
men. appeared before Judge J. A Howell
in the district court and entered an ap-
plicatiOn in behalf of his clients for bail
Both the county and district attorneys
informed the court that they had nothing
to suggest in connection with the appli-
cation, although District Attorney Hal
version finally suggested that if a bail
bond was named that he thought it should
at least be $4,000 each.
Attorney Richardson intimated to the
court that he was prepared to furnish bail
in any sum for the prisoners. 1t was
agreed among counsel that the application
for bail be submitted on the testimony
taken at the inquest. The court took the
matter under Amusement until tomorrow
morning. In the meantime he viii exam
inc the inquest record.
The action of the prosecuting officers
in not opposing the bail application was
criticised in many circles today and many
people are of the opinion that the two
men should be kept in Jail until their
cases are disposed of.
More Love Letters.
Chief of Police Browning came to the
conclusion today that inasmuch as Mrs.
Beers had ''let the bars down by giving
to The Herald the first letter received
from Mrs. Walker addressed to Beers,
that he would be justified in giving out
two others that he had in his possession.
These letters are written in the same
strain as the others previously published.
One of these was inclOSed in a Nattck
house envelope anS the other in a plain
envelope.
The letters follow:

MY Own Dear Earl; I received your
loving letter this afternoon and was so
glad to hear from you. This is the second
time I have written to you today. I am
very tired tonight, for I have been on the

Husband Offered to Forgive Her.
"WeH, sweetheart, you asked me to
tell you all the news. l viii try and do
So l only wish you were here so l could
talk to you. 1t would help me so much.
I felt pretty blue the night / left, for L
had a pretty hard time the night before.
Fred, Of course, accused fne of being un-
true to him, but said he would forgive
me if 1 would confess and tell him the
truth, and he just kept that up all night.
He was also going to make me go to the
doctor and see if he could tell him any
thing. l told him ne did not know what
he was talking about and he said if left
him and didn't come back he would get
the baby on those grounds. l told him
those things had to be proven and he
didn't have anything to prove. But it
certainly made me feel awful bad. for 1
do love my baby so much. She just
screamed and told him she was going
wherever mamma went.
s'Of course know Fred feels awful bad,
but I think ne will get over it, although
/ he says if 1 don't come back he will so
J through his lie alone. He says 1t IS me
! that has helped him work hard in his
| business, but he admits he hasn't paid
me the proper attention, but he says he
didn't find it out until it was too late.
| I am sure 7 can't help it, for l love
/ somebody else and that one IS you, dear
| est. 1t seems like you came into my life
/ lust when | needed you, sweetheart. L
/ do hone il won't be long before ! can see
/ YOU for you know I get so lonesome with
! out you. So try and rush things as much
| as possible.

very much, only 1 must say l do hate the
| fleas Dearie you be good and true, won [
you, for you know l will do the same

am not sure yet. Fred told me that 1
/ shouldn't and that he would take care OF
/ me and send me all that 1 wanted as long
! as | was good and true. 1 forgot to tell
| YOU that when ne said goodbye on the
| train he told me he was sorry that he

/ said that when he would think Of me be-

/ ines so many things and that was his
reason for saying what he did. But it is
! all over now, that is, if you love me as
