WHICH ONE IS
A MURDERER?
TWINS HELD FOR CRIME, BUT
EACH ACCUSES THE OTHER
AND NOBODY CAN TELL
THEM APART.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Be
cause of the striking likeness be-
tween Thomas and James Young
twins, one of whom shot and kill
ed Policeman Helms Thursday
morning, the murderer may escape.
Both men are charged with the
crime and are closely guarded in
separate cells. Each accuses the
other.
One brother gave a revolver to
the other, who shot the policeman,
according to witnesses. The man
who fired lay on the sidewalk, pre-
tending to be hurt, and when Helms
leaned over him fired.
The men look so much alike IL
is impossible to tell them apart,
even when they are together.

the repliec made by him to the five
questions asked of him by the Civic
League. Mr.. Ladd's answers to these
queries are clear-cut, satisfactory and
sincere. Question 4. in the list of quer-
les sent to the candidates for prosecu-
tor. asks if the candidate is of the opin-
ion that the prosecutor should judge
whether or not the law should be en-
forced and what his opinion is on the
enforcement of liquor laws and Sunday
dissertation laws. To this question Mr..
Ladd replied:
d" favor law enforcement, and il
elected will strive 10 enforce the law
against all persons who violate the
same. The office of prosecuting at
torney is a part of the executive
branch OF our state government. and
such officer should not attempt to de-
termine what laws shall be enforced.

discrimination but to enforce all laws
enacted by the legislative department.
This of course applies TO the enforce
ment OF the liquor laws and those
against Sabbath Dissertation. to which
you especially refer"
Replying 10 the query as to who he
would appoint as his deputy Mr.. Ladd
replied as follows:
| have not employed anyone as my
deputy and do not expect TO do so un-
less my official duties become so
onerous as to Justify such appoint
ment. In the event il shall become
proper or necessary to receive assist
ance in the circuit court, shall leave
the appointment TO the honorable
Judge of that court. The Hon. William
A. Bond. about whom you ask. inform
ed me before the last primary when
his name was being used In connec-
ton with my candidacy, that under no
consideration would he have any con-
nection with this office and so far as
know he has not changed his mind
/ cannot expect to receive the con-
slant OF such an experienced attorney
(Mr. Ladd studied la win Mr.. Bonds
office) who thereby would be compell-
ed TO suffer much financial loss. III,
however, 1t should become necessary
to have a deputy I shall select one
who is in harmony with my ideas as
herein expressed.
IN conclusion permit me to say
that 1 believe one who asks the public

state his position upon all matters
pertaining to the conduct of the office
he seeks, and II have not fully ans
