Mrs. Knobel thought when she first
heard of the letters that it was only
another attempt on the part of Amann
to get money from her. She did not
suspect that he had actually killed her
son.
Amann is said to have relatives in
Germany who are of the Weather
class, and frequently got money from
them during the earlier years of his
career in Chicago, but for the past
six or seven months has lived in abb

In the hospital Amann said he had
been injured in being put off a street
car by conductor four years ago, and
brought suit against the Consolidated
Street Railway company for damages,
in which he was given Judgment
amounting to $500. The case was
appealed, and pending the appeal he

Hanna announced that it was prob.

Johnson if he would give up his
lecture contracts should he be elected
governor. AS usual, the willy John
evaded the question. He is quoted
as saying in reply that he had had an
offer from lyceum bureau to give 200
lectures at 5000 apiece, but had made
it conditional upon his retirement to
private life. When his nomination
came he accepted the latter, thus Civ
ing up a sure $4,000 for an uncer-
tain $1,000. Then he inquired would
the editor who propounded the inter-
rogatory give up s32, 800 for the state
of Minnesota? 1t will be noticed that
the governor did not say he would
give up lecturing for hire if he was
successful at the polls. Then the in

Mr.. Hearst's stateroom on Union
Pacific train No. ? was broken into by
a deputy sheriff at Omaha last Thurs
day night and papers served on the
millionaire editor notifying him that
suit for 100000 had been brought
against him for SANDER by Governor
Haskell of Oklahoma, in the Douglas
county, Nebraska, district court.
Plaintiff charges, among other things,
that on September 20, 1908, defendant
maliciously, wantonly and wickedly
spoke at Memphis, Tenn, and two
days thereafter published in his paper,
the Chicago Examiner, libel setting
forth that he (Haskell) was an agent
of the Standard Oil company and that
the democratic party had altered it's
platform to suit the requirements of
the Standard Oil company and the
plaintiff. While developments since
September seem to have proven that
Mr.. Hearst's statements were in the
main true, yet, under the libel laws,
this does not justify such statements.

the greater the libel," still holds good
