ADAM GOD TESTIFIES
in TRIAL FOR MURDER

Kansas City. Mo-. May 27.-An un-
usual spectacle was presented in the
criminal court here today when James
Sharp, known as adam Cod, and
his wife Melissa Sharp, who went un-
der the name of Eve God," to the
followers of their band of rowing re-
ligionists, went on the stand at the
trial of Sharp, who is charged with
murder The woman is yet to be
tried. The testimony of. the couple
proved a weird, pitiful exhibition of
tears, lamentations and wild say
ings. Mrs. Sharp reviewed the his
tory of herself and husband. When
she told Of their conversion she wall
ed piteously and screamed so loud
she could be heard in the street.
adam God" wept almost constantly
during the half hour he was on the
sand. He explained in detail the
beliefs of himself and band and told
of their doings.
Brother" said Sharp finally, ad-
dressing the trial Judge, and with
tears streaming down his face,
'sit all came to me in revela-
tion as lay sleep in my cell
last might The Lord said to me,
just like it was in the Bible, that my
enemies are my friends. Now the
Lord means I must turn that saying
around If I'm to find my friends, l
must go among my enemies. That's
JUST the reason God led me into this
court room"
Sharp denied he shot Patrolman
Mullane with whose death he is
charged. He declared he fired into
the air.

es which have filed commencement

the exercises have been of a very

air of finish and elegance about them
that has been a pleasant surprise to
most people. Few have realized dur

work was being done in the uniyer.

In the first place the address by
DR.. Gowen last Sunday was unusual

that such work was being done by
the boys and girls, as the entertain
ment showed had been done. The de-
bate was especially lively and inter,
esting.
The concert Of the Mandolin and
Giee clubs on Tuesday night also at
tracted good deal of attention, and
reflected no little credit ON Mrs. Cow
en-. who trained them. Mrs. Gowen
received her musical education in the
conservatories of Cincinnati and Bos-

music at all the exercises during com
mencement week has proved not only
that she is trained musician. but
one of taste who possesses, great skill
in dealing with young people.

that Old Glory in the past was never
seen floating over the city building
on proper occasions. He thought it
a disgrace to East Las Vegas for such
negligence to be tolerated and made
a motion that steps be taken by the
council at once to have flag adorn
the city hall flag pole hereafter,
particularly on Memorial day. He
put this suggestion in the form Of a
motion for the appointment of COM
mittee with instructions to attend to
the matter and secure a flag for the
purpose mentioned no matter what
the cost. The mayor named COM
mittee of three, of which Mr.. For
sythe was made the chairman, and
he promised to have the flag there
by Memorial day at all hazards.
Tax Ordinance Held Up.
The annual tax levy ordinance
came up on third reading preparatory
to its passage. It had already been
published, but a discussion arose as
to its provisions and after consider
able talk pro and con, the mayor re-
ferred it to a special Committee
which is to meet with like commit
tee from the Board of Education, for
a thorough discussion Of the ordin-
ance. This committee was instructed
to make report at the next meeting.
The council after a prolonged dis
cussion took action on the applica-
tion of Gus Lehman for a permit
to construct one-story brick building
with plate glass front on Railroad
avenue adjoining Bacharach's store.
The application was referred to the
building inspector with instructions
for that official to issue permit to
Mr. Lehman for the erection of this
building, the contract for which will
be awarded in the next few days.
The plans and specifications comply
With the provisions of the building or

lres.
At last nights meeting there were
present Mayor Gooda1l, President J.

sion last night. Dr. Gowen, of the
Normal University, made happy

graduating class. DR.. Winship lived
lup to his reputation of being one Of
the most entertaining of speakers in
the country. He has a fund of COM

talk to the graduates. urging them

of Dieter. While he has made sever
al damaging admissions and told con-
flicting stories while being Sweat

fly him as Gordon, it is believed that

After exchanging photographs and
minute descriptions of Gordon, the
Pueblo officers were so certain that

and because. of these all doubt as to
the suspect here not being Gordon
was eliminated in the minds of the
Pueblo officers.
Crime Most Brutal One.
Gordon's crime is unprecedented in
brutality. Penniless and destitute
Peter Dieter befriended Gordon when
no one else would extend hand. He
took him to his ranch at Rye, Colo,
and shared his cabin with him. On
the night Of November 13 last Gordon
arose and shot Dieter dead as he
slept. He then carried the body to
a neighboring haystack where he bur-
led it.
Gordon then went to Pueblo and
forged Dieter's name to check for
$54O. and succeeded in drawing out
every dollar Dieter had in the bank.
Gordon returned to Rye near where {
Dieter's ranch was and by showinglss
a forged power of attorney sold evs 5
on the Dieter ranch even to 3

he had buried his friend.
Gordon then returned to Pueblo
and began weeks carousal OF wine.
