.DETSCH is FREED BY JURY
STORY THAT HE THOUGHT FER.
REE A BURGLAR ACCEPTED.
Defendant Protects His Wlfe's Repu.
tation at the Risk Of His
Own Neck.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-After a trial
Of three days, Andrew Jackson Detsch.
who was charged with numbering
Harry Ferree in boarding house in
this city last November, was acquit-
ted late Friday afternoon.
Detsch claimed he killed Ferree in
mistake for a burglar and the jury
took this view of the case.
Detsch, who is % years Of age, lived
with his young wife and child in an
uptown boarding house. On the night
of November 5, policemen heard shots
and traced them to the house. They
forced an entrance and on the third
floor hallway, in front of the door Of
the Detsch apartments, they found
Ferree dead with three bullets in the
body. He was in his stocking feet.
Ferree was about so years of age
and had occupied room on the Sec
ond floor. Detsch told the policemen
that he heard some one trying to get
in the room and, thinking it was a
burglar, shot four times through the
door.
The police were inclined to accept
this explanation, but in searching the
effects of Ferree they found maAy let
ters that had passed between Ferree
ana Mrs. Detsch and number of sug-
gestive photographs. The police then
charged Detsch with having deub-
erately killed Ferree. They contend
ed that Detsch learned of alleged mis-
conduct between his wife and Ferree,
that Detsch caused his wife to lure
Ferree to her room, and that Detsch
fired the shots when he heard Ferree
place his hand on the door knob.
Detsch maintained during the trial
that he did not know that the man
outside the door was Ferree and that
he thought he was shooting at q
burglar.
He fatty denied that at the time he
suspected his wife's chastity, and re
fused the opportunity to plead the
"unwritten law" preferring to pro
tect his wife's reputation at the risk
of his neck.

GUST A JUDGE.
Attorney General jackson Would Dis
place f. ID. Hutchings.

Attorney General F. S. jackson has
started custer proceedings in the SUI
preme court against two public off,
Gals of Wyandotte county; Frank d.
Hutchings, judge of the circuit court,
and w. H. Cox. public administrator.
The prohibitory liquor law is not
at the bottom of these prosecutions,
but they are based on the ground that
the acts passed by the Kansas legisla-
ture creating these offices were spec
ial legislation, and that therefore the
Offices were not legally created.
In short, If Mr.. Jackson's custer
suit sticks, the new circuit court at
Kansas City is knocked out.
Judge Hutehings was appointed to
fill the newly created Office by Cover
nor Hoch. He is a lawyer of ability.
and was prominently interested in the
important drainage lawsuits which
We're fought out from Wyandotte
county
The supreme court has held that
under the new constitutional amend

and it seems likely that the Wyan-
dotte county special acts will go down
with the rest.
The job of public administrator and
the new circuit court were created
since the adoption of the amendment
While it is possible that the laws
might become general in a few years
through the growth of the state, still
both are applicable only to Wyan-
dotte county at the present time.
In addition to the .unconstitu-
tionality of the law another charge is
added to the petition to Dust Cox
from his place Andrew Crozier died
about two years ago and after the es-
tate was practically settled it is
alleged that Cox went into the court
and asked that the executor be dis
charged and himself appointed as
administrator of the estate. 1t Is
alleged in the complaint that the only
reason Cox had for doing this was to
obtain the fees which the settling of
the estate would bring in to him as
the administrator.
