A FULL CONFESSION

Leaves the Country.

sufficient to warrant an indict-
ment by grand jury, much less
a conviction by trial jury.
District Attorney Geary reioin-
ed with the contention that MIN
ETY. nine percent of the verdicts
IN criminal cases were based
wholly on circumstantial evi-
dence; that few murderers were
caught with smoking pistols or
dripping knife and that in the
whole group of larceny cases the
crime was committed by cunning
or strategy, hence their detection
and conviction must of necessity
be dependent on antial
evidence.
Justice Waite then announced
that after long and careful con
sideration of the evidence at
hand he had decided that a con-
scientious discharge of his duty
left him no alternative but to al
low the case to go to trial by a
higher court. The bond was fix
ed at $1,000 and the district at
81 mads 2 fs~rsel -res .
that a commitment be issued
placing the accused in tie custody
of the sheriff or constable until
such time as the bond had been
secured and approved. BY mu-
tual concent the defendant was
paroled in the custody of his
counsel and q bond furnished
by himself was later accepted
and filed.
Wednesday morning, following
his admission of guilt, and after
disclosing the hiding place of the
missing funds, Sherer left the
city.
The impression prevails that in
consideration of his confession
and restitution of the money
Sherer was promised immunity
from punishment, but Judge
Waite is authority for the state
ment that the confession, made
before three witnesses, was Who'll
ly voluntary; that the defendant
paid all court costs and will ap,

bear interest at the rate of six
per cent per annum, payable
semi-annally.

estimates have already been
submitted to and approved by
the council.

such elections will apply in vot-
ing on this question, and only
owners of real or personal pro-
perty subject to taxation will be
considered qualified electors.
The resolution and notice of
election are published elsewhere

sion made Tuesday evening be-
fore District Attorney Geary and
Judge Waite, cleared up the mys-
terry surrounging the disappear
ance of 5000 from the Gillard
Drug Store on the night of Nov
ember 10.
The facts as stated by Sherer
are as follows:
After leaving the store in the
company of the proprietor, Mr..
A. E. Gillard, and walking with
him as far as the Navajo Bank
corner, where they separated,
Shearer, before going home, re-
turned to the store and taking
the cash contents of the slot ma
chine, cash drawer, and other
recepticles where various sums
had been hidden, placed them in
in a paper bag. His next move
was to secret the we'll filled sack
under the show case in the front
part of the store, anticipating
lat the loss, when discovered,
would l,c < .s......t .....t Jsss., sssii- iii-s :
as it was on the previous occas-
ion when $50 was taken. To
stengthen that suspicion he mu-
tilated the slot machine and re-
moved from the rear window a
large piece of card boad that had
been tackled on a panel to replace
a broken pane of glass.
Feeling assured that he had ta-
ken all necessary precautions to
divert suspicion from himself he
locked the store for the second
time that night, leaving behind
him in safe hiding place the booty
he expected to remove at a more
opportune time. His prompt
discharge by his employer the
next morning after an investiga-
ton made it apparent that a
theft and not a bugalry had been
committed, followed Immediately
by his arrest on suspicion, frus-
trated the execution of his plans.
At his preliminary hearing,
held Nov. 81 before Justice Waite,
Sherer, through counsel, entered
q plea of not guilty. A strong
effort was made by the defense
to establish an alibi, a number
of witnesses testifying that he
did not leave the house after
coming home at $50, p. m. After
hearing the evidence presented by
both sides the Justice announced
he would take the case under
a1visement and render decision
later. Bail was fixed at $500,
wilichwas furnished by the ac-
cused himself, and his temporary
release from custody was ordered.
Tuesday, last, when court was
again convened, the attorneys in
the case were asked if they had
anything to present before iudg-
nent was rendered ]. +. Jones,
counsel for the defense, stated
that in cases in which the evi-
dence was purely circumstantial
there was always a danger of
subjecting the accused to grave
hardships; that i'll the present
case the evidence was wholly in

FROM OTHER PENS
TRUST PRESIDENT TAFT.

The Democrats and their assistants
in the Republican camp, who are
seeking to make political capital
against the Taft administration out
Of the custom house frauds. perpe--
trated by employees of the sugar trust
and others in COLLISION with corrupt
government weighers, will not get
very far in their attack. President
Taft has been in Office less than a
year and in that time his appointees
in the departments Of justice and the
treasury have been able to- unearth
what already has been turned up and
to start prosecutions which will be of
value even If they go no further. But
judging from what Attorney General
Wickersham has to say, the investiga-
ton is but fairly started. and if, as
successful as he believes 1t will be. it
will be far-reaching before 1t is fin
ished and will have accomplished
these things:
The recovery of all back dues owed
the government by revenue dodgers.
The ascertainment and the punish
ment of the guilty men, both in and
out of the government
The cleaning out of faithless and
corrupt officials in the customs SER
vice.
When President Roosevelt started
on like crusades, the same cry was
raised against the administration. but
he went courageously on, wedding out
the corruptionists. Instead of weak
ening him and the party it strength
ened them. President Taft bids fair
to follow in the former presidents
footsteps in this respect, and with like
results.
The carping critics may carp and
the howlers howl, but President Taft,
Attorney General Wickersham and
Secretary McVeagh will go on with
their work and when it is over. the
housekeeping they will have done
and the customs duties they will have
recovered will stand as a monument
to the Taft stration.-Hutchin-

THE FATE OF A STRONG BODY.
DR.. Wilifred Wheeler, instructor in
the chemistry department in the Uni
versity of Illinois. took his life Thurs
day by the poison method. Wheeler
was K. U. man, bright in his studies
and research, but one of those fellows
whose characteristics were marked
peculiarities. A powerful, man, ply
sically, he overplaced his estimate of
human endurance. A young man who
lived to himself rather than sought
the society of the average, all-around
student Wheeler was of a retiring
disposition, but when attention was
attracted to him it was through some
freakish action.
One of this fellows hobbies was to
wait for flood water in the early
spring and, walking mile above
Lawrence on the railroad, jump into
the stream, swim out into the food
current and enjoy lodging the drift
wood until the current took him to
the boat landing. Another diversion
was shooting the Kaw river dam at
Lawrence in a boat when the river
was up. These accomplishments,
while they were unusual, were in
dicative of a lack of mental poise.
This man was powerful athlete. but
he has illustrated the weakness of the
human body when guided by a faulty
iudgment.-Leavenw Times.
