tion-wide laymen's missionary move
ment. This is the result of the mon
ster meetings held here this week. This
movement will result in the calling
of laymen's missionary meetings IN

States.
The opsning session of the Philadel-
phia convention Of the movement was
held in Scottish Rite Hall. corner of
Broad and Race streets. q More than
1900 men were i'm attendance. There
was an entire absence of the emotion
al element which in the minds Of
many outside the Christian churches
and some inside-is the chief char
acteristic of religious movements.
Here IL could be seen was no ephem-
eral movement. but something with
tbs weight of American good sense
behind 1t and it's purpose Is to "evan-
gelize the world in this generation"
This might seem an impossible task,
and scoffers could easily point to the
teeming millions of Asia and other
continents and ask If In all sincerity
the leaders in this laymens mission
airy movement believe the world can
be evangelical i'm single generation,
after nearly 1900 years of work has
left the larger part of the world in
ignorance of Christianity?
After a supper was served, the chair
man of the local committee, Edward
II. Bonsal vice president of the Land
Title and Trust company. asked that

The following greeting was wired:

-FOUR TO BE TRIED FOR The
MURDER OF WEALTHY FARMER
Much Interest is Being Manifested in
Coming Trial at Mankato, Mimi, of
Two Men and Two Women Who
Are Accused of Killing II. J. Ledbeter
Last May.

Mankato. Minn., Nov. 26.-Public in
case has again reached the boiling
point with the near approach of the
date for the trial II is the present ex-
pectation to begin the trial within
the next week or ten days and arrange
ments to that end are being made by
preside at the trial.
III. ]. Ledbeter. a wealthy farmer
living near this city, disappeared from
his home early last May. More than
a month later his mutilated body was
found buried i'm a shallow grave on
his farm. That a diabolical crime had
been committed was evident. The head
of the victim was crushed to shape
less mass, apparently by a blow from
a blunt instrument.
Mrs. Grace Ledbeter, the young and
pretty wife of the murdered man;
Frank Smith, a farm hand who had
been i'm Ledbeter's employ several
months and William Schwant and his
wife, the latter a sister of Mrs. Led
better, were arrested and held for the
murder
Soon after his arrest Smith is al
legged to have made several confess
sions duplicating all four in the muir
der. The several confessions, however,
were of a contradictory character and
the result was to leave the motive for
the crime and all the details surround
ing it as much a mystery as before.
In one of his confessions Smith Is
alleged to have declared that Mrs.
Ledbeter murdered her husband in
cold blood because OF a blind infatua-
ton for him. He claimed that the
attack was made with heavy axe and
that after Ledbeter had been killed
Mr.. and Mrs. Schwant assisted in re-
moving the body of the murdered
man from a temporary grave in n
barn to the place where it was sub
sequently discovered by a searching
party.
Smiths story. especially that part of
II relating to Mrs Ledbeter's alleged
infatuation for him, seemed almost
preposterous to those acquainted with
both parties. Mrs. Ledbeter is a wo-
man OF considerable education and re-
finement, while Smith is uncouth and
ignorant and unprepossessing in the
extreme.
On the other hand. evidence is not
lacking that TIE woman might have
had a hand in the murder of her hus-
band. When the latter disappeared she
is said to have made no effort to find
him, nor did she notify any of his
relatives OF his disappearance. p. A.
Ledbeter. OF Hayward. wis. a brother
of the murdered man, learned of his
disappearance through the newspapers
and came to Mankato to investigate
Failing to receive any satisfactory In
formation from Mrs. Ledbeter he call
ed upon neighbors to assist In the
search and on June "a. nearly eight
weeks after the murder Is believed to
have been committed. the searching
party found the body OF the victim
buried in an out-of-the-way corner OF
his farm.
