The verdict came after a day spent
in argument by attorneys and the
reading OF the instructions by Judge
Gregory Although there were four
possible verdicts the jury might have
returned under the instructions OF
the court. the verdict was merely
murder"
Circumstsntial Evidence.
The evidence presented against
Vending was purely circuDstantial.
Since his arrest and throughout
his trial he denied any knowledge of
the fate OF the Kellner girl
Witnesses testified, however, that
Vending, then janltor at ST. Johns
Catholic church. was seen in the
church the morning Alma Kellner last
went there TO mass. Alma Kellner
was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Kellner of this city and a niece OF
Frank Fehr millionaire brewer. who
spent much time and money In the
search for the child and in the pros
eoution of Vending.
Story of the Crime.
Alma Kellner was last seen In st,
Johns Catholic church Dec. S. 1909.
where she had gone for mass. When
she failed to return home after sever
al hours her family began to be
alarmed and notified the police 1t
was first believed the child had been
kidnapped and numerous rewards
were offered Tor her return. On May
the mutllated body OF child was
found in cellar under the music
room at ST. Johns Catholic church.
The body was accepted by the Kell-
ner family as that of their child.
CIrcumstantial evidence pointed to
Joseph Vending, former janitor of
the church. who had disappeared on
January IA. as the murderer.
A search was started for him which
led TO New Orleans, through Texas
and finally to California, where he
was captured on June so, the arrest
being made in San Francisco.
! Carney's Persistent Work.
Chief Detective Carney of this city
who persistently conducted the
search for Vending. had almost Civ
en- up the hunt when he located Mrs.
Cora Munea, nillincr at Hume, Mo
Vending had known Mrs Hume in
Texas and had proposed marriage to
her
Mrs. Nlunea denied any knowledge
of Vending but on his visit Captain
Carney found q postcard from Wend-
ling mailed in California

that teachers are to be indiffer-
ent; what I do mean, is tn It the
community should not allow the
misconduct of a few to overshad-
ow the better features of the
school as a whole. Just here is
a minor season why we insist on
good order. The instruction
given and the daily work done
may be of a high type and yet
parents may not be aware of it;
but if tom and Dick' have a
fight everybody knows that. and
a few reach the conclusion that
the school is a failure.
Now as a last thought, may l
be permitted to caution those
having children to educate
against one fatal mistake, and
that is allowing yourself to think
too readily that those children
are not accomplishing anything
in school. True sometimes they
are doing but little. Keep in
mind however, that they may.
like for you so to think in order
that they may have your con-
sent to withdraw from school.
Just here is the opportunity to
teach them the most valuable
lesson that they will ever learn.
May l say too, that I believe
no school is a failure. l have
had a peculiar opportunity to
test pupils who have said that
they had learned nothing for a
whole session, and yet there is
abundant evidence that those
pupils have gone right on in
their mental development.
1t is a natural thing for boys
and girls to learn. Keep them
in contact with books and teach
ers and with little effort they
absorb enough to repay their
time. If your school does not
meet modern requirements, do
not lose sight of Garfelds idea of
a university-A student on one
end of a log and a teacher on the
other. J. S. E.
