LL-MANICURED MEMBER A
FACTOR IN TRIAL OF EFFIE

OTTUMWANS PRESENT
Local Police Will Give Testimony

City--Will Tell of Her Char
acter While Here.

The arrival in San Diego, Cal, OF
the four Ottumwa officers, Capt. Matt
Mier and Patrolmen w. Black, E.
Raul and G. Taylor, has given Mrs.
Eftie James Duden cause for apprehen-
sion, as to the result of her trial for
the murder of her brother-in-law,
Bruce Shelter. The effect of their tes-
timony may have by this time caused
her untold grief or like the proverbial
water poured on the ducks back,
caused no worry. The factor in the
trial that seems to attract most atten-
ton is the beautiful thumb that
adorns one of the hands of the unhap-
BY Effie He hurt my thumb" said
she to her husband and hence the
popularity Of the well manicured digit.
Treating Of the case, the Los Angeles
Examiner has the following:
AS small as thing as Mrs. Fife Du-
dens thumb, which for. rosiness,
plumpness and general impeccability
as to being well manicured, could
scarcely be surpassed, may press the
button that will send her to the peni-
Tertiary, or the other one, that will
give her the beautiful liberty for
which her beautiful eyes and beautiful
mouth most obviously pine.
Mrs. Duden's thumb, unconscious of
grave responsibility, has suddenly be-
come the objective of the prosecution.
While there is no indictment and no
accusation against the thumb it is
considered the local point in the
charge that she murdered her brother
in-law, Bruce Shelter.
The pink thumb, with its shining
nail, many times each day completes
a circuit about the other thumb, the
one that is fixed and stained, and
every revolution finds it revolving
more swiftly than it did in the imme-
diately preceding instance.
Thumb Injured, 'Tis Said.
The generally accepted theory of
the prosecution about Mrs. Duden's
thumb is that it received some sort
of injury from Bruce Shelter. She is
said to have said, shortly after she
had terminated him, that he injured
her thumb on the dexter side.
He may either have kissed her un-
assailable thumb or he may have
struck it with a pillow, or, unhappily
perchance he threw an inkstand at
the stubborn branch of her fair hand ;
but none of the ..putative circum.
stances appear in the preliminaries OF

stand for decency, manhood and good
citizenship was well demonstrated in
his remarks. He called attention 10
some of the viciousness of Ottumwa
by referring to the reports from the
colored Pinkerton detective, Mr..
Smith, who aided in securing the con-
fession of John Junkin. Two days in
Ottumwa We're sufficient for Mr..
Smith to see thirty negroes shooting
craps in Smoky Row and some ex-sa-
loon keepers bootlegging booze in the
vicinity OF the power house. He also
declared that the detective held up to
the light that the building on Jeffer-
son and Main streets, that has the APP
pearance Of being a barber shop, is
no more than an open gambling den,
where in the back room, between
thirty and forty men were gambling,
and that it was funny snap if the
city officers did not know about it.

attitude towards an unclean Ottum-

Immediately the defense moved to
set aside the verdict because the

asked the court to decide it a mistrial.
Judge Hart said he would listen to
arguments on this motion later. He
then fixed the defendants bond at
$4,000 each, which amount was ac-
ceptable to both sides.
Friends Go on Bonds.
After the discharge of the jury the
defendants and their counsel and rela-

bonds were signed by number of

Tobacco Crop Damaged by Frosts,

A gradual drop in temperature since
the rains of Friday eliminated in an
early frost covering the greater part of
the state on the morning of September
1st that actually nipped tobacco in
many localities on low lands. Telephone
communication was had with nearly
every growing section by dealers in this
market and information received that
much of the tobacco in the northern
growing sections has been marked.
Vernon and Trempeleau county valleys,
and all growing sections north, as well
as quite a belt SOUTH of Portage to
Morrissonville, all show the effects of
the freeze. Southern Dane, Rock Co.
and the Rio sections seem to have es-
capped injury SO far.
In a few days it will be be better
known the amount of damage the crop
has sustained, but it is feared will be a
severe one as hundreds of acres touch
ed is under contract at good prices.
The cold wave has now passed and dam
ger from frost is over for the present.

GAINESVILLE Murder Mystery May BE
Unraveled.

The accusing finger of murder was
pointed in the municipal court at Law
renee Raymond, who was standing in a
crowd of nearly dozen men, by Mrs.
Michael Cronin, whose husband met
with foul play on the night of Jan. q.
She picked Raymond from the rest of
the men and stated that she recognized
him as one of the two men who appear
ed at the door of their cottage on the
stormy January night and lured her
husband into the yard, where he was
found dead later. AZ
The police had just secured Raymond
and companion who gave his name as
Roy Mckinney. The accused man will
be placed on trial for murder shortly.
At first he denied the crime, but when
Mrs. Cronin confronted him with the
crime he paled visibly and sank into a
nearby chair. He was identified also
by lad who said Raymond was the
person who accosted him in stone
quarry the day after the murder and
demanded a match.
Raymond, whose real name is Smith
and whose aunt and mother live in the
city, claims he was in Chicago on the
date of Cronin's death. Small boys,
however, who had shanty in the
vicinity of Cronin's home, identify him
as the man whom they saw in the
vicinity of Cronin's residence the day
of the murder. 1t is also alleged by
Rockford officers that Raymond was
seen in the vicinity of Mrs. Grippen's
home just before that woman was found
murdered few days later.
On a complaint sworn out by Miss
Agnes Cronin, Raymond was placed
under arrest and taken before Judge
Fifeld. His hearing was set for Friday
morning at 10 o'clock and he was re-
manded to the county jail without bail
pending a hearing.

Obituary.
CHARLES T. HEDDLES.

IL.
After suffering for over week from
dysentery, Charles T. Heddles, son of
former Mayor and Mrs. S. B. Heddles,
died Wednesday morning at $50 o'clock
at his parents home in GAINESVILLE. His
condition from the first was considered
critical and two consultations were held
by physicians. There was one change
for the better the first of the week,
but it proved after all to be only an in
dication of the end.
Mr.. Heddles was born in GAINESVILLE
on Aug. 4, 1880, and was one OF the
most popular young men in the city.
He had as many friends, perhaps, as
any young man that. ever lived in the
city. His acquaintgnces = and all OF
them were close friends to him-rep-
resented people in all walks of life,
Young and DID, He was of unassuming
nature and his very lack of pretense
was one of his numerous admirable
traits.
He was something like IL years of
age when he met with an accident in
the Northwestern railroad yards and
had both of his legs cut off under the
wheels of train. He remained brave
despite this affection and continued his
cheerful disposition and association
with his friends. He graduated from
the local high school and later went to
Chicago where he completed course
in commercial college. During the past
few years he had been associated with
his father in the tobacco business and
assisted in managing the farm in the
western part of the city.
Funeral services, held from the home
Friday afternoon, were very largely at
tended.
