SHORTAGE IN FUNDS
REVEALS HOMICIDE
CLERK OF w. O. w. AT COLO
RADIO SPRINGS SLAIN
Murdered Man Had Kept Money OF
Lodge at His House and $500
of This Trust Has
Disappeared

COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. 31.-A
sensation was caused here today when
it was announced that the auditing
committee Of the Pixies Peak lodge, No.
5, Woodmen of the World, of which
camp for twenty years c. p. Essick,
recently. found dead, was clerk, had de-
tected shortage of $500 in Essick's
funds. Essick kept the funds at his
house.
The police believe the money was
taken by the person who had slain
Esseck, and that murder may have
been committed to cover the theft.
Essick kept the funds in desk which
could be easily opened.
Coroner Law today filed a death GER
tificate, stating Esseck was a victim
of homicide, but no warrants yet have
been sworn out. The coroner's certifi-
cate gives the stab wounds as the
cause of death, but makes no mention
of the gunshot wound, which is believed
to have been made several hours after
death.

Mrs Virginia P. Hams, parents of
Thornton j. Hains, now on trial as a
principal in the Staying of William E.
Annis, were witnesses in their SON S
behalf today, and their testimony
brought out in full detail the relation
ship of Mrs. Claudia Hams and Will
liam z. Annis that caused the es-
arrangement of Captain Hains and his
wife.
General Hains declared that in his
presence and before his twotsons, Peter
and Thornton Hams. the captains wife,
Claudia Hams, made a full confession
of her misconduct, and subsequently
Captain Hains manifested such poign-
ant grief from the disclosures that his
mental condition became affected.
The confession which General Hams
declared his sons wife had signed on
the day following Captain Hams re-
turn from the west was read to the
jury.
General Hams made a strong witness
for his son, and counsel for the defense
asserted the evidence was now con-
elusive that Captain Hams was mental
ly unbalanced when he shot Annis, and
the act was his sole doing.

SEEK TO HAVE
PRESTON FREED
Application Filed with State Board for
Slayer Of Restaurant Keeper Who
Is Serving Twenty-Five
Year Sentence

CARSON CITY, New, Dec. 31.-Ap-
plication for pardon was filed with the
secretary of state today by those rep
resenting NJ r. Preston, Goldfeld la
Dor leader, who is serving a twenty
ffve-year sentence in the state peniten-
tiary for the Staying of John Silva, a
Goldfeld restaurant keeper, in 1907.
Preston and a man named Smith were
jointly tried and convicted last year,
Smith being sentenced to five years
Imprisonment as an accessory to the
crime.
An appeal for a re-hearing of the case
was denied by the state supreme court
some time ago.
Since that time many of the Goldfield
labor leaders have been in this city
preparing to file the application for the
pardon, which will be considered at the
January meeting of the board of par
dons, and it is stated that they are
prepared to offer at that time new evil
dence in behalf of the prisoners.
Preston was chosen as presidential
candidate of the Socialist Labor party
during the last presidential campaign,
but owing to his Imprisonment was
represented by a proxy during the cam
paign.
