WENDLING STILL
DENIES HIS GUILT
Louisville Detective Leaves To-
morrow with Prisoner Who
Protests Innocence

SAN FRANCISCO, July S1.-Henry
Joseph Vending, held in the city
prison here for the murder of S-year-
old Alma Kellner of Louisville, KY,
will leave in the company of Chief OF
Detectives Carney next Tuesday to
face the charge that rests against him
in the city from which he fled last jan
uary. He is anxious to return and his
affable and confident manner in eX-
pressing his desire to face the murder
Indictment and have the thing over
with has all the earmarks of sincerity.
\ He laughingly protests his innocence
and says that the Louisville murder
charge does not worry him nearly so
much as the thought of meeting his
irate brother-in-law, Louis Arnold,
whose wrath, he says, caused him to
leave home so hurriedly.
CARNEY's LONG CHASE
1t develops today that Captain Car
ney's chase after Vending led him
over 1880 miles. He was in twenty
seven large cities, including Honolulu
and Monterey, Mex, and in many
smaller towns. Carney was seventy
five days on the road, in which time
he travelled on limited trains. freight
trains, broncos, burros, stages, steam
ers, ferryboats and across country at
some places on foot.
Every precaution will be taken by
Captain Carney to prevent the possi-
bility of his prisoner committing sui
eide on the train en- route. The entry
into the city of Louisville probably
will be made secretly in order to avoid
any demonstration that might other
wise occur.

President Approves Report Made
by Attorney General Wick
erSham on Protest
NEW YORK G. A. R. OBJECTED
Declares Virginia Under Law
Had Right to Place Like
ness in Capitol
Associated Pressl

BEVERLY, Mass, July 31.-Presi-
dent Taft has approved without COM
ment an opinion by Attorney General
Wickersham to the effect that there
is no provision of law by which the
statue of Gen. Robert e. Lee In Con-
federate uniform can be removed from
Statuary hall in the capitol at WASH
ington.
In addition to deciding the question
on a purely legal basis, Mr.. Wick
ersham argues the matter from an
ethical point of view, declaring that
Lee has come to be regarded as typify-
ing all that was best in the cause to
which he gave his services and the
most loyal and unmurmuring accept
ance of the complete overthrow of that
cause.
That the state of Virginia should
designate him for that place in Stat
uary hall as one illustrious for dis
tinguished military services, the at
torney general declares Is only nat
uraI and warranted under the reading
of the law.
G. A. r.. PROTEST
Mr.. Wickersham's opinion was called
called forth by protests to the
president from the department of New
York, G. A. r. In his opinion, adj
dressed to and approved by the pres
ident, Mr.. Wickersham says:
1T have read the resolutions adopted
by the department of New York,
Gran Army of the Republic, at SYRIA
cuse, on June %, and the communica-
tions of Hon, James Tanner with re-
sTect TO them.
THE act of July 2, 1864, referred to,
p vides for the creation OF suitable
structures and railings in the old hall
of the house Of representatives for the
reception and the protection Of stat
uary, and the statute authorized the
president to invite each and all the
states to provide and furnish statues
in marble or bronze, not exceeding
two in number for each state, for de-
ceased persons who have been citizens
thereof and illustrious for their. his
toric renown, or for distinguished
civic or military services, such as each
state shall deem worthy Of this ma
tional commemoratfon.
LOYAL SUBJECT
i"It is now forty-five years since the
Civil War was closed. Robert ID. Lee
has come to be generally regarded as
typifying net only all that was best in
the cause to which at the behest of
his native state he gave his services,
but also the most loyal and unmur-
muring acceptance of the complete
overthrow of that cause That the
state of Virginia should designate him
as ole illustrious for distinguished
military service is therefore natural;
that his statue should be clothed in
ths Confederate uniform, thus elo-
quently testifying to the fact that a
1gnanimous country has completely
forgiven any unsuccessful efforts to
destroy the Union, and that that st3ue
should be accepted in the national
statuary hall as the symbol of the ac-
ceptance without misgiving of a COM
plete surrender and a renewed loyalty,
should surely provoke no opposition.
Therefore, under the existing law,
I am of the opinion that no objection
can be lawfully made to the placing
In Statuary hall of statue of Robert
e. Lee, clothed in the Confederate
uniform"
