lated body In the cellar Of his
North London home, was found
guilty Of wife murder this AFTER
noon In Old Bailey court and was
sentenced by Lord Chief Justice A.
verstone to be hanged.
The plausible, detailed story that
Crippen told of the disappearance
of Belle Elmore Crippen, the cir
cumstantial account he gave Of
their domestic life and his appar-
ent inability to account for the
presenc of an acid eaten body at
80 Hildrop Crescent, failed to pre-
vent the jury from staying out
more than 20 minutes considering
the evidence.
The feature of the closing hours
of the trial was Prosecutor Muir's
impassioned address to the jury,
and the instructions of Lord Alver-
stone, which were considered IA
vorable to the crown.
CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES
COMPLETE.
Muir contended that the chain Of
circumstances connecting Crippen
with the murder of his wife was
complete, and that Crippen's own
testimony was damaging.
"If there were no other means of
Identification Of the body than the
abdominal scar" he said, that
scar would be sufficient. Wit
nesses for the crown showed that
Mrs. Crippen had a similar scar
and Crippen admitted it.
"The prisoners attempt to show
that the relics might be those of
some other person was too fantas-
tic to believe"
Lord Alverstone's instructions
generally supported Muir's conten-
tiOns.
cRIPPEN FAIRLY COMPOSED.
Crippen was fairly composed
whent he heard his fate. He had
been in a measure prepared for the
worst by the instructions to the
jury. Lord Alverstone, before read
ing the verdict aloud, whxned the
spectators against NAL any
demonstration when he S1aonnced

AN APPEAL TO VOTERS.

10 the Democratic Voters of Iowa
The democratic state central COM
mittee desires to impress upon all
loyal democrats at this particular
time the very important fact that a
campaign fund is absolutely neces-
sary in order to conduct a campaign
this year. There is every reason to
believe that the democratic ticket
will be successful in Iowa this year,
but to bring about that success a lib
efal campaign fund must be subscrib-
ed, and that very soon. Handicap
ped, as it is, without funds, the state
central committee cannot do much,
but with a campaign fund of the pro-
portions that the democrats of Iowa
should contribute, it's work will pro-
coed with dispatch and with the
brightest prospects of success at the
November election.
Therefore, in behalf of the commit
tee, we urge every democrat in Iowa
to send whatever contribution he may
feel able to make IMMEDIATELY
TO N. F. Reed, Chairman, Observa-
tory Building, Des Moines, Iowa. 1t
matters not how small your contri-
button may be, it will be thankfully
received and promptly receipted for
VIII you not send in your contribu-
ton TODAY? Help us and we will
help you to victory. Do not lay this
aside and forget it, but ACT AT
ONCE! Thanking you in advance
for your contributions we remain,
N. F. Reed, Chairman.
Jno. F. Dalton, Secretary.

In the democratic candidate for
the office of county recorder we have
young man who is deserving and
will receive the hearty support of
the voters Of Decatur county,
young man who has lived all his life
right here in Decatur county, and one
who enjoys the special respect and
esteem of everyone. Rollin l. Bene-
tiel was born at Decatur City, July
/, 1886. He came to Leon with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. Benefiel,
some sixteen years ago, and has since
made his home in this city, and his
countenance is familiar to everyone
He attended the Leon public schools,
graduating with high honors with
in the newsstand business and his
abled him to make a financial sue
cess OF the business. Deprived by
nature from performing heavy manu-
al work, that fact does not deter him
from work. He writes one of the
best hands in Decatur county, and he
is exceptionally neat with all kinds
OF clerical work. He is admirably
fitted for performing the duties of
the office of county recorder, for he
has reputation of being accurate
and painstaking with everything he
does. He has not squandered his
money, but has been economical and
has invested his savings in real es-
tate. Such is his good nature that
he has not an acquaintance in all
Decatur county who is not his friend.
He is one of the most accommodating
young men in the whole county, and
il elected to the office of county re-
corder he will be most accommodate
ing to every person who has any bus
mess to transact in the office, and
the work would be kept right up to
the minute. Rollin is not a very
big man, but he has big head and
big heart. Just remember the lit
tie fellow when you go to VOTE He
will appreciate your support and if
elected will endeavor to show his
appreciation of the confidence which
the voters have placed in him.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1910-10-27

When it came to naming a candi-
date for county auditor this year
there was a popular demand that one
of the bright young men of the coun-
ty be selected TO make the race, and
the choice fell upon a young man
born and raised in Decatur county,
in the entire history of Decatur
county, and that candidate is Reuben
b. Mclaughlin, OF Decatur town
ship. The name Mclaughlin is suf-
ficient to commend him to the con-
sideration of the voters of this coun-
ty. He is a son of the late John W.
Mclaughlin, one of the pioneers of
Decatur county, and for whom every
che, regardless of their political be-
lief, entertain the highest regard
and the son is worthy defendant
of his honored father Reuben E.
Mclaughlin was born on the old Nc
Laughlin homestead west of Decatur
City, in 1881. He received a good
education and has been a successful
as well as practical farmer, and re-
sided on a farm until two years
ago when he moved to Decatur City
and engaged in business, which he
disposed of some months ago, and
has at present no outside business
which would prevent him from CIV
ing the Office of county auditor his
entire attention. He is young man
endowed with splendid business
qualifications, he writes good hand
and above all he is man who does
everything he undertakes in a
thorough and painstaking manner.
He has never before been a seeker
after political Office of any kind or
character. Many voters believe that
in selecting county officials that the
preference should be given to men
who have spent their life right here
in the county and by their energy
and efforts have helped to develop
the country. If you believe in this
you should by all means cast your
vote for Mr.. Mclaughlin for coun-
ty auditor Mr.. Mclaughlin is
making a strong and winning cam
paign for the office. He is out work
ing hard and seeing as many of the
voters of the county as it is posi-
Bile for man to see. He asks that
all voters give his candidacy for
county auditor their careful consider
alton, and if he is elected he will dis
charge the duties of the Office in a
manner which will be entirely salts

school affairs, and he has never been
found wanting Two years ago when
he was a candidate for county treas
urer his opponent wasup for second
term and was one of the most popu-
lar men in all Decatur county, and
at the time many republicans stated
that while they did not vote for
Mr.. Cozad that year, they would be
pleased to vote for him the next
time county treasurer was to be
elected. They now have the oppor-
tunity to do So AIr. Cozad is we'll
qualified to discharge the duties of
the Office. He has had experience
in looking after public affairs and
he would make an ideal county
treasurer, agreeable and accommo-
dating, yet ever looking after the in
terests Of the county. The funds
OF Decatur county would be as safe
in his hands as if they were invest
ed in government bonds, and when
settlement was made every penny of
the money which passed through
his hands would be accounted for.
He is man in whom everyone has
the utmost confidence. Don't make
any mistake when you go to vote for
treasurer this year. Place a cross
in front of the square opposite the
name of w. C. Cozad, and you will
never have reason TO regret that you
helped to elect him.

ship is more popular or enjoys the
esteem and respect of his neighbors
more than he does He has lived all
of his life on farm, and for sixteen
years he has operated a threshing
machine, doing work for hundreds
of the farmers of this county and
they have always found him straight
forward and upright in all his deal
ings. He has been life long demo-
crat, but was never before candi-
date for political office, with the ex-
Ception that two years ago he was
elected township clerk of Blooming
ton township, by a good big majori-
ty, notwithstanding the township
has a big republican majority.
That fact shows how he stands
right among his home people. He
has made a splendid township clerk.
Mr.. Piercy is an energetic hustler,
q fearless man who would do his
full duty under any and all circum-
stances, and that is kind of a man
who should fill the sheriff's Office.
He has no political debts to pay by
favors, and should the voters of De-
catur county see fit to elect him as
sheriff he would discharge the duties
OF the office in a fair and impartial
manner TO everyone. Wherever he
has gone in making his campaign he
has received much encouragement,
and the prospects that he will be the
next sheriff of Decatur county are
most fiattering. Don't forget Chas
Piercy when you are making your
ballot on election day.
