DOUBT Of GUILT
Of JANITOR GROWS
Kellner Believed to
Have Been Murdered
Outside Church.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. June 5-That
Alma KeIlner was not murdered in
ST. Johns Church, where her deCOm-
posing body was found. on May so,
almost six months after her disap-
pearance. is the theory now enter
tained by the authorities making the
investigation OF the crime.
Indeed. there Is reason TO believe
that the body was not in the sub
cellar under the sacristy Of the church
when the police first searched the
building. izst December. There is a
growing doubt as TO the guilt Of Jo-
seph n ending, the missing 5anitor,
end there are many people who be-
lieve that he viii be able 10 clear
himself OF the charge in case he be
found
Detectives have been retained by
the church. for reasons which have
not yet been made public.
II has been discovered that the body
OF the child was not buried in the sub
cellar. but that IL was thrown into the
place in which was TWO OF three feet Of
water, and that no attempt was made 10
cover Il uD.
Two Of the most powerful agencies in
the world are enlisted in the search
for Wendling- They are the Catholic
Church and the FreemaSOus and the
predictions is made freely that he soon
VIII be taken into custody II still alive
A diliCent search Is being made Of the
Panama canal zone 70 which il IS be
lieved Wend ing may have gone from

PLEAD FOR SECRECY.

WITH heads bowed in shame, pleading
" for secrecy and receiving only the
fate meted out TO common lawbreakers,
the rich. the great. the influential men
and women who have emulated the
smugglers Of old and attempted to de-
fraud their government out OF duties on
goods purchased abroad. are now trying
10 live down the disgrace their convic-
tion and punishment have brought upon
them.
Stories Of their cunning. more than
matched by the shrewd custom officials
make the lawfearing citizen gasp in as
tonishment and amazement That those
so we'll endowed with the wealth Of the
world would stoop to the trade Of the
olden smuggIers presents a study Of hu-
man avarice that puzzles even those
who long have come in contact with Of
tenders of both high and low degree.
MiIHonaires, great politicians, and noted
society leaders have been caugh: in the
meshes of the law and find themselves
powerless against it despite their
wealth and prominence. The array Of
confscated jewels. laces. gowns, and
furs is taxing the appraisers stores 10
the utmost capacity.
All Of this is due TO the skilIful net
spread for thei- unwary feet by William
