DEEP DYED CONSPIRACY
MORE NAMES CONNECTED WITH
MURDER OF LAMANA DOY.
Mother of Murdered Boy Gives Way
on Stand When She Sees
Child's Clothing.

Hahnville, La.-The wide extent OF
naping and subsequent strangling to
death of Walter Lamana developed in
today's testimony against four OF the
alleged murderers. In addition, evil
dence that may help to-hang Mrs. Cam
pisciano, one of the women accused, was
introduced. Several persons in addi-
tion to the ten indicted were connected
with the plot by two witnesses, Leon
ardo Gebbia and Mrs. Peters Lamana,
the murdered boys mother.
Gebbia, who turned States evidence,
told of overhearing the agreement made
in Jail between Campisciano, the most
important prisoner on trial, and an
other whose name was not given. In
return for giving home to Campis-
ciano's children should Campisciano be
arrested and hanged, Campisciano
promised not to implicate this man in
any way.
The boys mother was placed in the
witness chair while her sons clothing,
introduced as evidence, was before the
jury. She sobbed and shouted at tho
four prisoners: "Oh, you murderers,
you done it."
Then she implicated several members
of the Gebbia family of New Orleans as
go-betweens to secure the $4,000 ran
som.
Jennie Gariffo, a pretty Italian girl,
gave the evidence against Mrs. Cam
pisciano She said that she and rela-
tives had heard the kidnapped boy
screaming "Oh, Charley" and "Oh,
mamma in house near the Campis-
cianos, and that they had set out to
learn what was the matter. Mrs. Cam
pisciano came out of her house and
stopped these would-be investigators,
assuring them that the boy was only
calling the cows The witness also saw
the boy taken into Campisciano's house
and saw him escape, pursued by man
who carried him back with one hand
over the child's mouth.

Senator T. C. Plat celebrated his 74th
birthday at the Oriental hotel at Man

Washington, July 13.-No informa-

in effect that there is no intention to

The resolution indorsing Taft for

"We believe that the great major
ity of the peolpe of Ohio convinced of
the high character, great ability and
distinguished services of Secretary
Taft indorse his candidacy for the pre-
sidency, and, further, we declare that
the republicans of Ohio overwhelming

the republicans of other states are in
vited to cooperate with the republicans
of Ohio to secure his nomination in

PULLMAN.CONNELL
CUTOFF TO Be BUILT

PULLMAN, July29. That the long
expected cutoff from Pullman to Con-
nell, or some point on the main line
of the Northern Pacific, is at last to
be built seems reasonably certain. A
surveying party, beloved to be in the
employ of the Northern Pacific, is now
on Union fiat, and is working this
way. The company came from some
point on the Portland and Seattle line
being built from Spokane to Pasco,
and surveyed line through Lacrosse,
up Alkali fiat, into Wilson Creek, and
struck Union fiat near the Frank Dow
ling farm. A preliminary survey was
made up Union at as far as the Saints
home, and the company then went back
as far as the Eagan ranch and began
surveying what is thought to be per-
manent line, following closely the orr
,,ginal survey.
1t has long been the intention of the
Northern Pacific to build a line from
Pullman to connect with the main line
at some point near Pasco, thus making
a big cutoff and saving long haul
from here to Marshal Junction and
then back south. The proposed line,
preliminary survey for which was
made several years ago, would be
shorter from here to the point of con-
nection near Cornell than from here to
Marshal, and the long haul from Mar
shall to Cornell or the point of connec-
tion would be saved.
The right-of-way for several miles
out of Pullman was bought and paid
for several years ago, and Northern
Pacific officials have given the people
Of Pullman assurances recently that
the line will be built just as soon as
men and material can be secured. This
will make Pullman an important juno
ton point.

According to official reports. there

According to official reports, there
are several million dollars in the treas
ury of the United States representing
postoffice money orders never cashed.
The Minneapolis Journal says there
is undoubtedly much money in the
hands of the express companies repre-
senting express money orders never
collected, and is of the opinion that
this money should, go in to the pubic
treasury, as does the property of per-
sons without heirs who die intestate.
Saws the Journal $50 it is beyond
question that the express companies
have accumulated large sums of money
belonging to the public. But no one
ever heard of their making an earnest
effort to restore these sum- to the right
full owners. The money entrusted to
the express companies and never called
for must figure as a considerable
item in the profits of the business.
There is really no good reason why
such funds should be appropriated by
the companies. Like the property of
those who die without issue or tesla
ment. they should go into the public
treasury. This is only one interesting
phase of the express business that is
due to be thoroughly investigated by
the government.
