Shot 70 Hide Crime.

"Oh, God, Mr. Swartz," the writer
exclaims. If Jimmie had not spoken
TO me l would have died. Then Jim
mie' came up to me and said:
Mother. dear, don't you believe il;
never killed myself. Adams killed
me; they beat me to death and then
Adams shot me to hide the crime. He
told me how they laid a trap for him;
how he walked into II; how Utley
grabbed him to pull him out OF the
automobile; how they held him and
Osterman beat him: about his fore
head being broken. his teeth knocked
out and the lump under his jaw, and
how, when he was lying on the
ground, someone kicked him in the
side and smashed his watch. He beg
ged me not TO die. but to live and clear
his name. Well. after three weeks, l
proved some things he told me were
true, and after repeatedly demanding
the evidence after four months l got
it. and within the last month l have
proven everything he told me.
Nothing could separate Jimmie
from me. not even death, and Adams
Uuey. Potts and Osterman will never
know a moments rest on earth. Why
should they?"
Mr.. Birney, counsel for Lieutenant
Adams, demanded to know upon what
Ievidence Mrs. Sutton based the fore
going accusation. She replied that
the testimony, to her mind, proved II.
together with certain letters that she
had in her possession.
The fourth letter was dated May 16.
In it Mrs. Sutton told Of having re-
eeived letter from young Owens. the
chauffeur. and said that she would en-
close copy OF that letter to Swartz.
