(The following statements by Prosecuting At
torney J. A. Rockford show him to be man
whom the people can trust to continue the duties
of public prosecutOr.)
To the citizens and voters of Stevens county:
To most of you am already known as the pres
ent prosecuting attorney of this county, and as
candidate for reelection.
The purpose of this article is to tell you plainly
and openly few Of the reasons why feel justified
in asking the people to endorse my administration
and return me to office for another term
The first and most important reason is the fact
that Ihave worked constantly and faithfully for
the best interests of the tax-paying public, and
have handled the business of the Office, including
criminal prosecutions, without single dollar of ex
pense to the county for outside assistance
This is an entirely new precedent, as it has been
the custom of the former incumbent of the office to
employ attorneys from Spokane at the county's
expense to assist in the prosecution Of criminal
cases. and as have proven my ability to do the
work at a saving to the people, feel that am
entitled to expect the approval and support OF
those for whose interests have worked. I have
endeavored to perform my duties with absolute
fairness to every citizen whose rights have been
involved, either in civil or criminal matter, and
have certainly done so according to my best
judgment and ability.
In the discharge of my official duties l have
made some enemies. 1t has been my policy to re-
fuse absolutely to permit the prosecutors office
to be used for the purpose Of settling personal dis
putes in which the people Of the county had no

after a while it was in the flesh and

There are no words TO tell all the dis

He began TO use them without conf

sores we're dried up. The burning
fire stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
quite we'll. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cutioura again
It cured him. Two years ago l used

Dies ON Witness Stand.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. AIRS. John
Rienhardt died yesterday of heart
failure produced by mental strain and
fear while testifying at Beaumont,
near here. to save her husband, who
had invoked the "unwritten law" as
his defense for killing Edward Can't

cross-examination at the hands Of the
prosecution attorney and suddenly
collapsed on the stand. 1t was
thought she had merely tainted, and
was removed to another room. The
trial was proceeding when the an
nouncement came that she was dead.

Arrested on SERIOUS Charge.

Walla walla, Sept. Enlarged with
a statutory offense on the person Of
Miss Leona H. Slater Of this city,
Maurice w. Miller lies in the county
Jail where he will be held awaiting
trial. The charge was filed with the
prosecuting attorney yesterday after
noon and was sworn to by c. c. sla-
ter, the father of the girl.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the offense was committed on May l..
The fact that Miss Slater is but a
trlfle over 16 years of age makes the
charge against Miller all the more Sc
rious. It is very probable that the
case will come up for trial in the su-
perior court, but the date has not
been set.
Little information was given out
in regard to the case yesterday, but 1t
is stated that Miller, who is a COM
parative stranger here, has a hard
case ahead of him.

ACTOR KILLS WIFE.
CONTINUED from page ~


and time after time went over the
horrible details. While he protested
that he was dazed when the crime
was committed, yet by the clearness
and conciseness of his tale 1t seemed
apparent that whatever preceded the
actual killing, the most careful plans
were laid for the disposal of the body
and the covering up of the crime.
Story of Crime.
Jordan's story Of the murder was
substantially as follows:
He stated that he was married in
September, 1904 to Mrs. Honorah
Eddy, whose maiden name was
O'Rellly and whose home was In
Somerville. He did not know who
his wife's first husband was or what
ahd become of him. The couple
went on the vaudeville stage, Mr.. Jor-
dan taking the part of tramp and
his wife that Of a nurse, in sketch.
They went first to Butte, four years
ago, but only remained there three
or four weeks. Later they went to
Chicago and appeared in some Of the
smaller theaters there, remaining
three months. About three years ago
they returned to Somerville and took
a flat in the house at sos Medford
street. Mrs. Jordan, according to
her husband, had taken to drinking
Of late, and, he claims, was associated
with other men and he became jeal-
Gus. 1t was in a jealous quarrel that
the trouble which ended in the death
OF his wife.
Knocked Her Down Stairs.
Jordan declares that his wife struck
him first, that he then knocked his
wife down stairs, and was Mortified to
find that he had killed her. This
happened at 1880 o'clock Tuesday
night. Fearing discovery, he conceiv-
ed the idea of cutting the body up,
taking It away on one of the steamers
and throwing the parts overheard and
then reporting to the police that his
wife had left him.
Jordan, according to his confession,
went out and bought heavy butcher
knife. With this and razor and
shears he severed the head from the
body and, after putting the scalp and
hair in the kitchen. range, placed the
81 ull in the furnace in the cellar. The
legs and arms were cut fom the body
and the flesh sliced off in strips, leav,
ing the bones of the limbs practically
bare. The bones were placed in the
furnace and the chunks of flesh piled
into a trunk with the torso. The
trunk was taken to the Somerville
station and shipped to Boston some-
time Wednesday.
