HE CONFESSES
SIMPLE PERJURY
CHIEF WITNESS IN MURDER
TRIAL NOW ASSERTS THAT HIS
TESTIMONY WAS MANUFEC-
TURED BY PROSECUTION

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Eigteen-
year-old Jerry M Vchal, whose tes-
timony more than that OF amy other
person, served to convict the Bohe-
milan fortune teller, Herman BHlik.
Of the murder of six members Of the
Vcral family, has, it is announced,
recanted in an affidavit in which he
declared the testimony was simply
perjury.
Biliill is under sentence to hang
March 90. in which the superior
court Thursday affirmed judgment.
Vchal boy also declares that two of
his relatives also lied.
He declares the vital part of the
testimony he gave against Billik at
the trial was taught him by a high
police official and the assistant state
attorney. He names the men he ac-
cused and III an affidavit says he told
the story because the police wished
him to.
He declares he did as the police
wished him.
The confession from the boy was

serve One DAY
IN COUNTY JAIL
TAIL SENTENCE AND FINE OF $50
AND COSTS ASSESSED AGAINST
GEORGE KERN CONVICTED IN
JUDGE ERB's COURT.

To serve one day in the Nez Perce
county jail to pay a 1ne OF $50 ana
cogts. amounting in all to $132, was
the sentence imposed by Justice of
the Peace Erb upon George Kern, the
Morrowtown saloonkeeDer, who was
Yesterday convicted of keeping open
saloon on Sunday.
In passing the sentence the court
stated that he believed the ends OF
Justice would be satisfied by impos-
ing the lightest sentence provided by
the statutes; that the evidence in
the case showed the defendant was
endeavoring to keep within the
bounds of the law and that as this
was the first conviction in Nez Perce
county under the Sunday closing law
he believed the effect would be as
beneficial as though a heavier penal
ty were imposed.
A feature of the defense yesterday
was the statement of Philip Wyman,
who gave testimony along a line
suggesting that Rev Van Vert had
stolen a sum amounting to about $50
while he was in the MOrrOwtOwn ho-
tel securing the testimony against
Mr.. Kern for keeping oDen saloon.
The open charge of theft was first
made, but when questioned by COun-
ty Attorney Needham Mr.. Wyman
stated the money and the preacher
disappeared at about the same time.
The prosecution of Van Vert has
aroused an intense feeling in the vi
cinity of Westlake and MOrrOwtown.
Friends of Kerns have caused the ar
rest of Van Vert on the charge of
wearing a lodge pin when he was not
a member of the lodge, and the
CHARGES Of Theft have been general
ly circulated in the upper country
On the other hand, the followers
of the minister are urging him to
continue in the crusade against the
saloons in all sections of the county,
and have rendered him their suppor-
in the effort to stamp out the saloon
evil.

ployment at good wages and which

the same time, we desire to nut an
end to unfair practices, unjustihabla
preferences and oppressive proceed
ings by which, aside from economic
advantages or superior skill in in
dustry, rivals are barred from equal
opportunity and thrust out of the
way or destroyed.
Laws, state and federal, should be
as definite as possible, and should
apply with becoming propriety to the
practices sought to be reached. 1t
does not make very great di iference
whether those engaged in improper
enterprises keep it's proceeds in cne
pocket or three; whether their
transactions are detailed in one or
more sets of accounts. The way to
get rid of abuses is TO attack them
directly. And I believe the mos ef-
| ficient means is definition and pre-
scription, and adequate punishment
Of offenders. The punishment is mosi
salutary when visited upon guilty
individuals. Few men can be hired
to go to jail And if offenses which
public sentiment recognizes to be OF
grave character are punished by
Imprisonment, the law is more likely
to be obeyed and punishment to have
its intended effect.
