condition Of the accused person In the
following severe languages:
"Junkin is q conEenital degenerate Of
the lowest order, scarcely on the hum
an side Of the line Of demarkat tion be-
tween the human and the brute; who'll
ly without any moral perceptions and
devoid from his mothers womb of any
capacity in which moral perceptions
could be instilled or could be grown,
and his congenital degeneracy has been
aggravated and intensified by his en-
vironments; and at large he would be
as dangerous to society as would be a
roaming wild beast Of prey. OF course
our contention was that society would
be secure against him If he was i'm
prisoned for life and that that should
be the verdict, In view Of his moral ir-
responsibility tho with a human form
or rather deformed human form"
The supreme court considered and
discussed this argument, virtually de-
Gliding that If such moral degeneracy
was to be accepted as an excuse for
crime it is first up to the legislature
to say so, while under laws as they
now exist and following the precedents
Junkin must be deemed sufficiently re-
sponsible so that he should be punish

was refused. Governor Cummins re-
fused to interfere with the finding of
the courts or to change the day of exc
cution.
Queer Defense Made.
The defense in the trial sought first
to get jury that believed in the Bible,
and then in arguments at the close
sought to put it on their conscience
that the Bible forbids taking life. The
testimony of the defense was presented
to show that Junkin was a product Of
the Smoky Row slums Of Ottumwa. that
he grew up a product OF society and
was degenerate of no moral sensibil-
ity or conception of right and wrong.
The prosecution impressed upon the
jury the imnensity of the crime, the
beautiful character Of the girl, the
desolation Of the home, and the neress-
ity of the death penalty as a deterrent
to others. The feeling became intense
during the trial and hundreds arowded
to gain admission to the court room
each. day The family of the murdered
girl were present and when the jury
came in to announce its verdict a
brother was intercepted entering the
back way with loaded revolver in his
pocket. The verdict Of the jury met
with practically universal approval.

promise Was Effected Promised
Sensation Develops at lnquest-Did
Insurance Companies Buy Evidence7

Chicago, July 29-The coroner's jury
impaneled to inquire into the death of
Ira G. Rawn, late president Of the
Monon Railway. returned an open YER
dict. The verdict was SO worded as
to show the jurors believe Rawn re-
sponsible for his own death, but the
question of suicide or accident was
left to be fought out by the family and
insurance companies.
1t took several hours of deliberation
to reach the finding. One Of the chief
points involved in the long discussion
was how to word the document so as
not to deprive Rawh's family of any
legal rights the members might have
under the $4,000 accident insurance
policies left by him. Two of the six
jurors held out for a veraic. Of suicide:
and two others held to the accident
! theory. The verdict therefore was a
compromise between these divergent
views.
Promised Sensation Developed.
The long promised sensation" OF S.
N. Greeleys investigation in connection
with the death Of Ira G.. Rawn was
! sprung at last nights session Of the in
quest over the body of the late Monon
president.
The village executive charges Ralph
G. Coburn, son-in- law of the late rail-
road official. with blocking every effort
of the village police to secure state
ments fro mthe servants in the Rawn
household and even with threatening
him with arrest IL he endeavored to
| force them to make such statements.
| Mr. Coburn admitted, with some res
ervations, that the charge was true and
followed with the charge that the vii
lage president was insleague with the
| insurance cop,nallies and was believed
to be getting t1e information Tor I'M
proper purposes.
[ The counter charges We're met with
vigorous denials, a general verbal mix
up and threatening attitudes on the
part of the men involved
! 1t was not until Coroner Hoffman
half upset the table at which the men
were sitting in his efforts to restore
order that quiet was brought about
once more
| The evenings session did much to
throw light upon some of the myster-
fous features of the case. incidentally.
many Of the witnesses who had been
strenuous in their assertions that Mr..
Rawn was murdered abandoned this
belief and said that but two theories
now We're tenable-those of accident or
suicide.

safely for arraignment he was driven
twenty-five miles across country at
night to escape a mob reported to be
coming from Otturnwa. and was finally
landed in the penitentiary. chan ge
of venue was taken to Centerville for
trial. Several days before the opening
day, May 2o, 1909, he was quietly taken
to Centerville and Sheriff Clark called
up in the night and informed Sheriff
Jackson, of Ottumwa. that he had Jun
kin to turn over to him. A strong
guard was at once placed about the jail.
1t became a problem how he was to be
taken to the court house, and the night
before the trial he was taken in dark
ness to the upper floor, where he re-
mained under guard till the trial was
concluded.
Devoid Of Sympathy.
Before the trial was over he had be-
come loathsome to his guards because
OF his utter Indifference to the features
Of the trial that should have aroused
some feeling or sympathy on his part.
One day he remarked to one Of the
guards that he would kill man for
a drink OF good whisky. The only
thing that aroused him in the court
room would be some commotion in the
crowded audience that he feared was to
start a mob, or some especially cutting
remark that one of the prosecuting at
torneys would make detrimental to him.
Cursed Attorney in Court.
As he stood before Judge Roberts to
have sentence pronounced he cursed
his attorney in a whisper because the
latter had made some suggestion about
Junkin stepping back little from the
desk. which had been mistaken as an
expression from the lawyer that indi-
Gated Junkin was nervous. He stood
unassisted and heard the day set for
his hanging without tremor.
Just a week from the day he was ar
raigned and the trial began, he was
fount guilty by the jurf and sentenced
to dang, on the first ballot. He was
hustled to Fort Madison by special
train. His attorneys appealed to the

JUNKlN's BRUTAL CRIME.
Convicted After Confession and Ma
roNulx Escaned Mob Xioianca.

Convicted After Confession and Mar
rowIy Escaped Mob Violence.
The murder for which John Junkin
paid the penalty today was one Of the
most shocking in the history Of crime.
So brutal was it that the conservative
people Of such a state as Iowa were
wrought up to the highest pitch as the
details became known, and before the
trial was ended the adjutant general Of
the state was at the scene Of trial pre-
pared to call out the militia to prevent
mob violence. So bitter was the feeling
aroused as the story came out in the
trial that even after the jury had SEN
fenced him to hang 1t was necessary to
use stratagem in getting Junkin to a
special train which hurried him to Fort
Madison, the crowd making a rush for
him as he was taken to the depot. At
every evidence of the hostility Of the
people JunlSin conveyed in abject fear.
Victim a Choir Girl.
On the evening Of Feb. 5, Clara Ros-
en-. beautiful young lady of Ottum-
wa, leader in the Swedish choir, was
on her way to her sisters after dark.
Junkin, who two weeks before had been
released from the Fort Madison peni-
enatching a purse from a woman, had
gone up the hul presumably on SINH
lar errand again. He overlook Miss
Rosen on a lonely street, and the next
She was seen was several hours later
when her brother and the police found
her badly mutiiated body in an old cell
lar on a vacant lot. She was lifeless,
her purse and diamond engagement
ring gone, her head crushed by stone,
and her clothing disarranged.
Pawned Diamond Setting.
Among several arrested as suspicious
characters was Junkin. He was re-
leased, and thinking himself safe pawn
ed the diamond out Of the ring. This
resulted in his rearrest. He was hur-
ried to Abba for safety, where he con-
fessed to Sheriff William Griffin. By
strategy he was saved from an Ottun-
wa mob which went to Abba, and was
tasSe., to Des Moines From there he
was taken to Oskaloosa, then to Sig

he could not be taken into Ottumwa
