TRIAL OF JUNKIN
is APPROACHING
dEGRo EXPECTED TO BE IN Lo-
CAL COURT WITHIN TWO
WEEKS.
EXTRA HELP NEEDED
Warden Sanders Again Crates on the
Question of Reform for Prison
ers Who Are ncarcerated
in Fl Madison.

Within the short period of two
weeks, John Junkin, the self-confessed
murderer of Clara Rosen, is expected
to sit in the court room of the Wap-
clio county court house and face trial
for the heinous crime which shocked
and stunned all Ottumwa on the night
of February g. In little over two
months from the day upon which the
terrible crime was committed, the
accused man will be in open court,
battling to refute his sworn confession
and show to the court that he is inno-
cent. The trial is expected to furnish
Ottumwa with one of the most unusual
cases in the history of the court, for
every indication points TO it being one
action of the laws of Iowa that will
be of interest not alone to the rela-
tives, friends and numerous acquaint
ances of the murdered girl, but to cit
liens of all Iowa and the middle states.
There will be extra court attendants
to care for the wishes of the officials,
lawyers and individuals actively en-
gagged in the conduct of the trial.
Sanders on Prison Reform.
Warden Sanders of the FIT. Madison
prison, in whose custody the Ottumwa
murderer is now kept refers to the
crime of John Junkin as one that has
done more to delay the reform move
ment of which he Is champion, than
anything else in the state. The Iowa
City Republican in telling of the
warden's recent address there, has
the following:
warden Sanders of the FIT Madison
.deformatory' addressed the members
of the freshman and junior law classes
In which he explained many of his
ideas along the lines of prison reform
In commencing his address he said he
was used to addressing an audience
daily just like the one before him, with
The exception that his regular audience
had been caught He says that as the
penitenitary at Anamosa has been re-
named .'reformatory,' then his institu
ton must be the state deformatory
He considers the inderterminate sen
tence law a very good reform, but
says he wishes that every criminal be
sentenced for life, and that board be
appointed consisting mainly of the
prison officials to determine wher
they are fit to again have their liberty
By this means men of the calibre Of
Junkin could be kept confined so thai
they could not repeat their crimes.
