Is Now Serving Life Sentence For
the Murder of His Father Last

Special to Times-Republican
Mason City, Aug. 24.-one hun
dred twenty-three pages of brief were
used in the appeal OTTO the supreme
court of Iowa in the celebrated Walter
Whitbeck case.
Whitbeck was indicted, tried in the
district court of Fayette county, found
guilty of the murder of his father,
Arlo Whitbeck, and was sentenced by
Judge Hobson to the penitentiary Cor
life on recommendation of the jury. He
is now serving his sentence. His con-
viction was secured largely on circum-
stantial evidence, and there are many
/ nthe county who today do not believe
that Walter Whitbeck was the MUIR
derer.
w. j. Strickland, who was the first
man on the ground. was the only wit
ness who testified in the trial of the
case, that he saw Walter Whitbeck IN
the barn door on the night of the
tragedy His testimony, however, was
greatly weakened because of the state
ments he made at the coroner's inquest
when he stated that he did not see
ANYONE around the barn that night An
array of witnesses is brought out in
the brief to impeach the Testimony of
Strickland. Five st. Paul Men declare
emphatically they saw Walter Whit
beck between - a. M, and p. m,
March Is. the time Of the murder) i'm
Est. Paul.
When Whitbeck was arrested at Du-
luth he had about $500 on his person
and this was thought to be clincher
as Arloo Whitbeck, the murdered man,
was thought to have had about that
amount on his person on the night he
was murdered, but several witnesses
testified that on the night Of the 18th
when he left St Paul, he had a roll
of bills as large as their wrist"
From the evidence in the brief it
looks as if Walter Whitbeck might
have been a victim of peculiar circum-
stances

Petersburg, Aug. 24.-Up to the
close Of the week just past the spec
tacle Of promising looking cornfield
meant one Of three things: That the To-
cality had been favored by a few local
showers since the wet season came to
an end, that the underlying earth or
subsoil was clay rather than sand or
gravel, or that an unusually careful
and painstaking farmer did the work
that made the existence of the stand a
possibility.
A remarkable feature attendant on
the scanty precipitation OF recent days
in this part of the state is observed In
the fact that very limited areas re-
ceived considerable moisture while
surrounding neighborhoods were de-
MED sufficient rain to "lay the DUST
in the roads.
Where the showers occurred, other
conditions being favorable, the corn
had not suffered to any great extent;
where they did not. "fired" fields are
everywhere IN evidence Along the
streams and in a few other places
where sand is abundant in the sub
soil there can not possibly be harvested
more than a very few bushels of corn
per acre this year in this locality.
Said one farmer who expects to husS
la normal yield of corn this fall, 81
saved my crop by frequent and thor
ough cultivation. Too many of us
farmers cultivate only to keep down
the weeds. Some of us have learned
that we can regulate the upward
movement OF moisture that is already
in the ground so that it will to a great
extent exert the same effect on grow
ing crop as it did when it fell from
above. Loose earth allows the water
drawn to the surface by capillary at
traction to escape slowly whereas a
solid, packed surface permits 1t to pass
rapidly into the air, leaving the ground
dry. In other words, packed earth is a
good conductor of moisture and loose
dirt is a poor conductor. When the
rains ended a few weeks ago there
was plenty of moisture in the ground
that already has,eo will, find it's way
back to the surface, to mature our
corn if we could properly regulate it's
