his head and beat him until apparent
ly dead with the hammer.
The little feed room in which the
attempted murder occurred resembled
slaughter pen and the victim re-
ceived five fractures of the skull be-
sides other bruises about his face and
body. To the day of his death Mr..
kunz carried the scars of the assault,
indentations in his skull showing
where his merciless assailants had
again and again buried the head of the
hammer in bis head.
A considerable sum of money was
found on Mr.. Kunz which had been
overlooked by the robbers and this
complicated the case in the eyes OF
the police who worked on the theory
that robbery was not the sole motive
for the assault. Just before noon the
day following the assault Detective
Joe Ross arrested John Croft as a
suspect and the following night he
confessed duplicating Calvin Heck.
The police discovered blood on the
clothing of the two men and a
watch in an clubhouse in the rear of
the restaurant where Heck boarded
1t had been battered and ruined in
an attempt to destroy it but was
identified by Calvin Kunz by the num-
Der on the works as the property of
his father.
When Croft was arrested he ac-
counted for the blood blotches on his
trousers by saying that he had rubbed
against the bench in the room where
Kunz was assaulted when he visited
the place with the police after Mr..
Kunz was discovered. An examina-
ton showed that the blood clots were
frozen solidly and Croft then became
surly and refused to talk.
Sheriff A. T. Lucas and County At
torney Hungate had the case in
charge and Lucas is known as one of
the ShrewdeSt men in the business IN
wringing. confessions from criminals.
They refused to allow Croft to sleep
and one or the other of the men were
with him continually plying him with
questions concerning the assault.
They were about to give up in de-
a scheme which resulted in the de-
sired confession. Central was in
structed to ring the telephone bells
in the jail office, which were within
easy hearing of Croft. Tailor Larson
answered and his conversation in
Dictated that a mob was coming to
hang the prisoner and he weakened
and told the story of the assault in
all of it's revolving details duplicating
his pal. Calvin Heck, whose arrest
followed.
Although the confession was COM
plete and many of the more import
ant details corroborated,. Galen Nichols
made such defense that Heck was
acquitted, though the verdict of the
jury has always been looked upon as
miserable miscarriage of justice.
Croft was given a ten year sentence
in the penitentiary and Heck whom
he implicated was turned loose and
Immediately left the city.

TO TALK WITH TAFT.
Chairman Hitchcock Is Spending the
Day at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs. Va. Aug. 12.-Repub-
lican National Chairman Hitchcock
arrived here early today and will leave
tonight for Chicago. Perhaps the most
important business of his conference
today with Mr.. Taft was the discussion
of the personnel Of the advisory COM
mittee of nine. the appointment of
which Mr.. Hitchcock says he will an
nounce after he has consulted lead
ers of the party representing the
west
decision is expected soon on the
West Virginia Republican situation
and to this end Mr.. Hitchcock took up
the problem with leaders of the two
factions from that state who are here.
In the event of a refusal to withdraw
being made by each of the candidates
for governor, it is not unlikely that
the attitude of the national committee
will be to insist on placing Taft cleo
tors on each ticket.
A. 1. Vorys of Ohio, participated in
the conference between Mr.. Taft and
Chairman Hitchcock. John Hays
Hammond reached here today and
will remain several days. During that
time he expects to talk over a num-
Der of things political with Mr. Taft.

CHURCH IS SHOCKED.
When 1t Finds That Saloonkeepers
Built Its Sidewalk

East Alton. ILL.,, Aug. 12.-Following
the gift of a sidewalk, which five local
saloonkeepers built for them, members
of the East Alton Methodist church
are raising a 800 fund for the relief of
wives and families of drunkards.
The. saloonkeepers recently built the
sidewalk and after it was laid, an
nounced their identity, saying that the
gift was in recognition of the splendid
fight which the church made on the
saloons at a local option election
some months before.
The church people were indignant,
and at first talked of returning the
money or of tearing up the sidewalk.
The latter plan was voted down as
wasteful and the former was abandon
ed because no way to make the sa-
loonists take the money was apparent.

At the time he was assaulted Mr..
Kunz suffered five fractures of the
skull and was otherwise injured by his
assailants and at the time 1t was
thought that his recovery would be
impossible. He has never been well
since he received the fearful beating,
but after months of suffering recover
ed sufficiently to again engage in bust
ness with the assistance of his son.
He was advised by the doctors hav-
ing the case in charge that a COM
plete recovery would be impossible
and that in time his brain would be-
come affected and probably paralyzed
and his death yesterday has proven the
accuracy of the diagnosis of his case
He began to fail several months ago
and for the past ten weeks has re-
manned at his home on Van Buren,
street, though he was not confined to
his bed
He retired early Sunday night and
his condition was apparently about the
same as 1t had been for a number
of weeks past. About o'clock IN the
morning his son Calvin, who was
sleeping in an adjoining room, was
awakened by a noise in his fathers
room, and entering found him uncon-
scious. He remained in this condition
ton until his death occurred Tuesday.
on the night of January 8, 1905, Mr..
Kunz closed his drug store at 612
North Kansas avenue and caught the
last car Tor MS nome on this side OF
the river. He alighted at Sixth and
Kansas avenue and walked west to-
wards Van Buren, street and was
Swallowed by the two holdup men who
after robbing him attempted to kill
him with hammer with which they
were armed.
Just as he reached the alley on the
west side of Sixth avenue between
Jackson and Van Buren, streets, two
men stepped out of the darkness and
one of them grabbed him b. the throat
and picking him up carried him
through a big gate into the Jonathan
Thomas lumber yard. One of the men
closed the gate and he was then car
ried to the stable on the rear Of the
lot where he was robbed and beaten
into insensibility with the hammer
1t was a bitter cold night, the mer-
curry registering Is degrees above zero
at o'clock the following day. The
assault occurred about midnight and
the unconscious man lay in the stable
until o'clock the next morning when
he was discovered by a teamster who
was feeding his horses
An examination showed that after
robbing their defenseless victim that
the holdup men had decided that
dead men tell no tales" and agreed
to complete their job by numbering
their victim. They placed sack over
