INNOCENT MAN
SENT TO PRISON
Interest Revived in Celebrated
Murder Case in
Kansas.
NEGRO EX-CONvICT'S TALE
WITNESSES FOR PROSECUTION
THE REAL MURDERERS.

/ Emporia, Kan, March 2S.-In q
signed statement given out here today
Louis T. w. Archer, the negro ex-con-
Wet. reiterated his recent charge that
two other negroes planned the murder
of ]. S. Collins. the wealthy Topeka
freal estate man, for whose killing John
Collins, the university student. is now
serving a life sentence in the Kansas
| penitentiary. Archer, who is 40 years
old, now for the first time gives details
of the alleged plot, and says he had
not previously made known his connec-
ton with the case, because of threats
made by the alleged murderers.
| Has Written a Book on the Case.
Archer recently was released from
the same penitentiary where young
Collins is serving his sentence. He be-
came educated while in that institution
and has, with much labor, produced a
book of his connection with this IA
nous case. This he has supplemented
today by his statement, which follows:
AT the time of the Collins trial in
Topeka, in May, 1898. l was in the
Kansas state prison. Therefore, 1 was
not able TO give any definite facts in
relation to the case or to impart to the
pubic the secret which / presume that
each and every living soul will feel
very fain to believe.
Il was afraid to communicate with
young Collins while I was in the peni-
Tertiary from the mere fact that he
had forced the world to believe that he
was guilty, and / was afraid that if l
revealed anything to the warden that
he would think that l had gone crazy
about the case, Therefore, the warden
and some of the guards might have
caused it to go pretty hard with me-
Forced to Keep Silence.
My colored people told me before l
went TO the penitentiary that after
they got John Collins i'm the peniten-
tiary, if 1 attempted to reveal the
scheme the public would ignore me and
put me in the insane asylum. So kept
mum. No one knows how old man Coli
Inns left this world except my colored
people and myself. My colored people
told me before Collins death of the
evidence on which they would send the
wrong man to prison, and / intend to
do my part i'm having him released on
the same evidence"
By my colored people Archer means
the two negroes that he asserted asked
him to enter the plot to murder and
rob the elder Collins. Young Collins
was convicted on the testimony of two
negroes.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING. 1908
MENTION CHAFFEE
FOR BOARD JOB
is SOLDIER SLATED TO SUCCEED
hNpERsoN2
Public Works President Making No
Fight, but Friends viii Not Per-
nit Politicians Plans
to Succeed

Gen. Adna r. Chaffee is again men
toned as Mayor Harper's probable
choice for appointment on the board Oh
public works.
Long ago the generals name was
freely mentioned but among other
reasons stated why the talk was not
well founded was that the distinguished
soldier had not resided in Los Angeles
long enough to qualify and that he was
disinclined to take up the responsible
tiles after his arduous military career.
Around the city hall politicians pre-
dict that President James A. Anderson
is slated to go, while business men gen
orally refuse to credit this as the
mayors probable course
Personal calls and letters take up the
greater part of the executives time now
and ali of them deal with the Anderson
case. Mr.. Anderson himself says MOTH
ing and goes about his duties unruffled
and with the conscientiousness that mas
always marked his public services.
There was some talk yesterday tnat
Mr. Anderson would solve the situation
nv rendering his resignation to resume
his law practice, which is far more
lucrative than the public office. close
friends say, however, that While they
know Mr.. Anderson has no personal
desire to remain on the board they have
advised him against thus falling into
the program of the politicians who
oovet control of the aqueduct construc-
fion.

the best equipped and most commodi-
Gus public library on the coast.
Two years ago the library was moved
from the city hall to more than three
times the floor space. It was believed
that the new quarters would suffice
until library building could be erected
by the city. The experiment has proved
that the larger the facilities the larger
the use: for already the new quarters
are nearly as congested as the old were.
The accommodations for seating have
been increased by about three times;
yet within a week every one of the 32S
public chairs was occupied and forty
seven people were sitting on the win
dow stills of the two reading rooms.
The internal use of the library has
increased enormously in the new quar-
ters, and so has the registration of card
holders, which this month will exceed
81. 900.
The library is already almost as
crowded in a floor space of 10000 square
feet-even with the addition of 5000 on
the roof garden, which is largely pat
ronized-as it used to be in the 800
square feet it occupied an the city hall
without roof garden.
The board expects to add from $4,000
to 10000 volumes per year. This would
require from twenty-four to thirty
stacks. Twenty-four stacks could not
be put in the present quarters without
spelling the reading rooms, which are
already so crowded by patrons that If
more books went in a proportionate
number of patrons would have to go
out.

IN FAR west
Gives Interesting Interview Regard
ing Incidents of a Most En-.
joyable Outing.

A lady friend of the News had
talk with Mrs. John A Mcleod in
reference to her recent trip to Colora-
do and Utah and obtained the follow
ing interesting and descriptive inter-
view with her:
1.-THE first night that we left home
we were caught in a bad wreck, ten
miles beyond Black Rock. Ark. about
l o'clock. Three men were killed and
five badly injured and burned. The
mail car and contents were burnt up
and the baggage car was on fire. but

ing car and threw out the trunks, only
the express matter and one car were
burned. We were delayed eight hours
when special came along and pick
ed up the passengers and baggage and
carried us to Kansas City.
1--WE reached Colorado Springs the
third night after leaving home and
stayed there nine days. We visited
all places of interest, South Cheyenne
Falls, North Cheyenne cannon, and went
out to Cripple Creek and went down
in mine 1000 feet under the ground,
drove, through the Garden of the
Gods, and went into the Gave of the
Winds" which is very large one with
many rooms and many strange freaks
of nature. 1t was discovered by two
boys, II and 10, while climbing up the
mountains % years ago. We took one
morning to ascend the noted Pixies
Peak on the cog road there the little
boys had quite time snow balling
each other on the 18th day of August.
We then visited Colorado City and
viewed the old capitol sixty years old
and made of hewn logs. one story.
about 16 by 20 feet. 1t is now used as
Chinese laundry.
1--WE spent a while in Manitou drink
ing from the noted springs of soda and
iron. We next left Colorado Springs
for Ogden where we changed cars for
the Yellowstone National Park. We
spent five days in the park viewing the
grand natural scenery, and every day
something startling was unfolded to us.
The geysers are many and some of
them grand. They are all colored diff.
ferent as though painted. Some blue,
green and other colors and all named.
We had the pleasure of seeing most of
them play. There were also paint-pot
geysers sending up different colors
like mud, also mud geysers all boil
ing hot. The canons in the park on
each side of the Yellowstone river
are grand.
"The next place was Salt Lake. the
city of the Mormons. The city is
beautifully laid off, the streets are all

pie square has a high wall around it

the back of oxen from quarry 20
miles away. 1t cost four million dol
lars. 1t has a roof without a single
nail, but tied together by thongs. We
took a railroad train IS miles to the
Great Salt Lake or "Saltair," as it is
called and saw the wonderful lake and
hundreds in bathing. All kinds of
amusements are out there. We saw
the home of Brigham Young where his
10 wives and SO children lived and the
beautiful home for his seventeen and
favorite wives. He has still five wives
living. We drove an auto through the
principal parts of the city.
We then went to Glenwood Springs,
the Saratoga of the West" The hot
pools of sulphur water is a sight to
see and numbers of people in bathing.
I'VE went from Glenwood to Denver,
the thriving city of the west. Toured
the city in autos and street cars and
visited the capitol and mint. They
were turning out 20 cent pieces by the
dish pan full. We saw also the great
convention hall where Bryan was NOM
mated for president. 1t is almost i'm
possible to recount the many things we
did see."
