Chief of Police George Pond Well Fit
ted for the Position.

Among the candidates or the repub-
lican ticket for nomination as county
sheriff at the coming primaries to be
held on the Goth of September, is
George Pond. the present efficient chief
of police of MankatO. Mr. Pond during
his incumbency i'm that office has
proven himself man well fitted for
the position. During his term of Of
flee many of the undesirable charac-
tiers about the town were so strenu-
ously gone after that they cut this
town wide to the great good of the
community.
During the recent investigation pre-
ceding the trial of the Ledbeter muir
der case it was Chief Pond, together
with p. A. Ledbeter, brother of the
murdered man, who formed the search
ing party which ultimately found the
body, Chief Pond being present when
the discovery was made. His untring
work in thus assisting to bring to JUS
tice the culprits implicated in this
heinous crime, proves that Mr.. Pond
is an officer worthy of the support of
the voters of this county at the com
ing election.
Previous to his election as chief of
police of Mankato Mir. Pond was prom.
inently associated with the public af
fairs of this city and heavy tax
payer, and at one time member OF
the city council. and at another time
president of the Business Mems asso-
citation, in both those positions he
proved himself to be man with the
interests of Mankato and Blue EARTH
county at heart.
Those putting an X after Chief
Ponds name on the ballot will do SO fol
u man who will devote his best efforts
for the strict enforcement of the laws
in Blue Earth county.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 14.-Indlcations
are that former Governor Stokes has
einched the Endorsement of the people
In his United States senatorial fight,
although his opponents have not given
up hope. The returns when completed
will in all likelihood show that Stokes
has beaten his opponents, former Gov
ernor Murphy and Congressman Fow-
Ter, the progressive candidates, with
Murphy a close second. Fowler is run
ming remarkably well, he having re
ceived a heavy vote In Essex, the home
of Murphy, and in Hudson, besides the
support of his W congress district,
Union, Morris and Warren counties.
The Democratic delegates to the
state convention seem to be divided
among Wilson, Wittpen, Silzer and
Katzenbach. Indications are that VIII
son will have a majority of the dele
gates. Political leaders are of the
opinion that the direct primary law is
not popular. 1t seems impossible to
get the voters interested even when a
United States senatorial contest is on
hand. The slight interest shown may
mean that the next legislature will re
peal the primary act.

ing to law.
local district court. probably Mon
day. Walter Cyrgalis, a Hall ave-
nue. butcher, will be. the principal
witness. He complained to the seal
er yesterday that On a purchase Of
1,498 pounds of meat he received
but S95 pounds.
The purchase, according to the
dealer, was made Monday. Cyrgalis
paid for, and according to the scale
at the beef company received 1,498
pounds of meat, but weighing it
later at another shop, the beef
weighed but 895 pounds. Two men
who were with him at the time of
the purchase will be called as wit
nesses.
According to law, the sealer Is en-
titled to GOV q fine of five times

CLAIMS KATzENBACH
WILL BE NOMINATED

Special by United Press Wire.
Trenton, Sept. 14:-Joseph Hoff,
chairman of the Mercer county dem
ocratic committee, after a confer
ence of Katzenbach supporters, to-
day made the following statement:
1.-The result in Essex and Hudson
counties has not changed the situa-
ton. They were the only two u
ties in which there were contests
and it was expected that the organ
ization would easily control Essex
for DR.. Wilson. We have had adj
vices from all parts of the state to-
day and are satisfied hat DR.. Wilson
will have less than 500 votes on the
first ballot, and that will represent
his entire strength in the convention.
On the second ballot Mr.. Katzenbach
will be nominated, getting the 500
or more delegates who will be OPP
posed to DR.. Wilson. The claim of
the Wilson supporters that they will
get 900 votes on the first ballot is
ridiculous. Judge Carrow is In
Trenton today, and said their claims
for everything in South Jersey are

LIFE HANGS
BY A HAIR
Sudden Turn in the Testi-
mony in the Crippen Case
in London.
DETER THE SE>

Special By United Press Wire.
London, Sept. 14:-Dr. Hawley
Harvey Crippen's life is literally
hanging by a hair today. DR.. Pep
per, the government analyst, practi-
cally repudiated much of his former
testimony when examined by Attor-
ney Newton, admitting the impossi-
bility of determining the sex of the
remains supposed to be those of
Belle Gilmore, from anatomical
study. The court room was surprised
by the sudden turn, and believed it
marked the collapse of the prosecu-
ton.
Peppers admission leaves identi-
f1cation of the body dependent upon
strands of hair found near the body,
another lock .knotted in a mans
handkerchief and remnants of a wo-
mans u~ndervest. Evidence of the
hair is considered practically value
less, however, because of Peppers
admission hat the hair in the hand
kerchief was light and shorter than
the other strands found near the re-
mains.
That Miss LeNeve is breaking
down from the nervous strain was
apparent today when the hearing
was resumed. Miss LeNeve is ac-
cused of being an accomplice after
the act. She made an effort to hide
her condition today. DR.. Pepper has
maintained that the remains found
in the Crippen home were those of
a woman, but his admission today.
that he was unable to tell the sex of
the body, coupled with that of DR..
Marshal, makes the sex question
hinge upon e~xtraneous evidence, and
legal opinion is that it is insufficient
to prove the corpus delicti." Pep
per said today that experts on behalf
of the defense examined the remains
last Friday. They will probably be
called today. At recess Miss LeNeve
and Crippen shared a glass of water
and exchanged a few words.
