Without displaying the least emo

rose to his feet and gazed steadily for

terday afternoon read the complaint
charging him with the murder of Will

eran, who was found in dying condi-
ton in Center place near Sixth street,
shortly after midnight, August 10.
Earnsting is about five feet eight
inches in height and weighs more than
zoo pounds. He had weeks growth
of beard and his shirt was soiled. He
was attired in a green suit and held in
his hand a soft hat of the same color.
He seemed indifferent to his sur
roundings and when asked if Earn
sting was his true name, replied in a
firm voice: Yes, sir"
After the usual preliminaries re-
garding the summoning of witnesses
and the time he would be allowed to
obtain counsel, he was asked when he
would he be ready for trial.

stated the accused.
Il will set the hearing for Thurs
day, October 2S. that is a little mora
time" replied Judge Williams, after
consulting his calendar.
"Thank you," said Earnsting, resum-
ing his seat.
During the reading of the complaint,
charging him With murder, Earnsting
never turned his gaze from the judge S
desk He paid no attention to the
spectators in the court room and, when
the Judge announced the date for the
preliminary hearing and stated that
the accused would be aheld without
bail, Earnsting turned to the detec-
tives and seemed anxious to get back
to his cell.
There being no charge placed against
Mrs. Earnsting, who was taken into
custody At the same time as her hus-
band, she was released from the ma
irons department of the city Jail 1t
is probable she will be used as a
witness.
There are several witnesses the pros

tectiVes are making every effort to To-
cate the person who was in the rooming
house at 5151a South Main street the
night the struggle between Salter and
IEarnsting occurred in the hail. He is
supposed to have witnessed the strug-
gle and to have seen Iarnsting fall
on the chest of the aged veteran.
The other man the police are anxious
to locate is an old man who is sup
posed to have passed the early part of
the evening with Salter in his room
at 618% South Spring street.

PRISONER RELEASED
TO AID HIS FAMILY
S. r. RADCLIFFE PROMISES TO
LET LIQUOR ALONE
Also Says He Never VIII Carry
Revolver Again, and Is AL
lowed to Go on
Probation

Because his wife and three children
are dependent on him for support and
owing to the fact that he is making
payments on a home, S. r. Radcliffe,
plasterer who terrorized sixty pas
sengers on a Hooper avenue street
car several days ago. was released on
probation for 1SO days by Police Judge
Williams yesterday.
Witnesses testified that Radcliffe
had drawn a revolver and held at bay
the conductor and motorman and
commanded them to operate the car
according to his wishes.
Radcliffe stated he had paid his fare
and shortly afterward there was some
dispute between the conductor and
another passenger, and when the lat
ter alighted from the car the conduc-
tor and motorman came toward him
(Radcliffe) and he drew his revolver
to protect himself, fearing they in
tended to eject him.
Promises to Be Good
The accused stated that worry over
payments on his house, which he built
about two years ago, caused him to
become i'll and he has been in q ner-
Vous condition since that time. He
said he had taken several drinks on
the day of the disturbance and it
probably had something to do with
the trouble.
He promised to refrain from the use
of intoxicating liquors in the future
and to avoid disputes with all persons
in general and street car men in par
ticular.
When asked why he carried the re-
volver Radcliffe declared it was for
TRAITORS" and he wanted to have the
weapon so as to be prepared for that
class.
He was warned that it is against the
law to carry deadly weapons, and he
declared he would obey the law in the
future and never again create a dis
turbance.

that it will cost 100000 to make
the Des Moines river navigable but
that the actual expense to the govern

there is question whether the water
