matter. The first post was organized
at Decatur, Ill, April 6, 1855. The nrst
national encampment was held In In
dianapolis Ind, beginning on Novem-

It was grievous disappointment to
DR.. Stephenson when representatives OF
the Grand Army, assembled at SPRING

ganization, selected another for the
highest honors of the order he had
founded. A similar disappointment
awaited him at Indianapolis, when the

had been slighted by his comrades in
these instances. Stephenson died in

Death of Elsie Sigel Recalls
Other Famous Trunk Mysteries

New York. June 27.-When Leon
Ling, after his butchery Of Miss Elsie
SigeI, sought to hide his crime by
packing her mutilated remains in a
trunk, he but followed precedent es-
tablished by numerous murderers whose
crimes are famous in the police an
nails of America. The famous Max
weu-Preller case still lives in the pub
lie mind, though more than twenty
years have elapsed since the crime was
committed Preller, an Englishnan,
murdered his travelling companion and
left his remains in trunk in a st.
Louis hotel The murderer was cap
tured and after a trial that attracted
international attention he was con-
victed and executed.
Probably the most sensational OF the
so-called trunk murders with which
the New York police have ever had
to deal was the case OF John G, Colt.
who murdered a man to whom he owed
money. Having attacked his creditor
with a weapon which was at hand ana
killed him, Cole put the body in
trunk and shipped 1t to New orleans.
All of the wealth of Mr.. Colts
brother. who was the inventor Of the
revolver, and who made great for
time in manufacturing that and other
arms. was at the disposal of the
counsel retained for Mr.. Colts de-
Tense These chief counsel retained
many of the small political lawyers.
They reached out all over the city,
both for general and probably for spe-
cific defense, hoping possibly that some
friend of some one of these lawyers
might be found upon the jury.
But. Colt was convicted and was pre-
sumed to have committed suicide an
hour or two before execution. At the
hour set for execution in the Tombs
fire broke out in the upper part OF the
Tombs and in the confusion Colt was
for a few moments forgotten. What
was said to be, and in act what was
generally believed to be his dead body.
was found in his cell as soon as the
officers remembered their responsible
itv. Yet tradition has always pre-
vailed that the fire was a part Of
conspiracy by means Of which Colt
could escape and substituted body
be- placed in his cell.
A case of comparatively recent date,
the scene of which was within a
stones throw of where the Sigel girls
body was found, was the murder Of

atty, the principles of the Grand Army
OF the Republic.
The erection of this monument is the
first and rather belated attempt to
honor the memory of the man who
founded the Grand Army of the Re
public. The movement for the cree
tion Of a memorial to him was first
suggested a few years ago by Colonel
John McElroy, who lad Joined the
army when he was a boy and had
served in the 18th Illinois Cavalry.
Colonel McElroy labored indefatigably
to interest the Grand Army and other
patriotic organizations for his plan and
1t was principally due to his efforts
that the Grand Army and the Woman's
Relief Corps contributed the necessary
funds for the purpose.

born in Wayne County, Illinois, Octo

Police regulations will pobably cause

But the regulation is tempered in a
way, for by orders of Chief Taylor is

the top button of the coat be fastened
But the top button must be fastened

Not for the policemen is it to fling
their coats wide open, or perhaps. to
