Goes Directly to Lake.

This was shortly after $3.50 and
Staten went directly to the lake
shore, cut loose the French skiff and
padded out into the lake where he
took Off his hat and coat and with a
scream leaped out of the boat.
The blood soaked coat led TO the
theory that he had first cut his
throat, but this is disproved by the
eye witnesses and the fact that he
was bleeding when he left the Nc
liver home.
Walter Slosser, who has been con-
Quoting the grocery store at Lavinia,
did not see the actual death leap, but
his companion, Lawrence Kennedy,
did. Mr.. Kennedy said:
"We were just passing the Warfeld
ouse something more than 1Oy yards
Off shore, when we heard a scream
behind us, and looking around ] saw
Staten drop his coat into the skiff,
pause moment and then tumble into
the water. He was out of sight for
" lille when he came up, then went
d'wn and came up a second time, and
that was the last | saw of him. We
were unable to reach him, So we
rowed ashore and notified the police"
Searching parties were at once Or
ganized and a systematic search is
beng made for the body, but SO far
" ithOut success.

legged incendiary fire at Blackjack,
the burning%of building belonging
to the Gearlds Brothers of this city,
as soon as the Puposky case is dis
posed of by the jury. ..-
The Benner incident took place
yesterday afternoon. John had been
slbpoenaed as a witness before the
grand jury. He had been whisper
ing to at least one of the other wit
nesses, ''Pal' Kennedy, and this
caused Assistant Attorney General
James to smell a rat and pointing an
accusing finger at Benner he said:
'sYou cut that out, and cut it out
quick, my man, or I'll throw you into
jail & -s.-
Benner looked like small boy who
had been caught whispering in
school, and from then on maintained
a silence, Mr.. James instructing Bail
if Lundgren to arrest him if he fur
Their violated the rules.
Among those from Cass Lake sum-
mohed before the grand jury were:
Mrs Nora Tedford, wife of the late
Chas STedford, and Mrs. Woods, sis
ter of Tedford, and there is an air
of u mystery surrounding whatever
connection these may have with the
Dumas case.
Behan is closely accompanied by
Detective Fielding or Deputy State
Fire Marshal Heimbach and some
times by both.
Dr.. Dumas expressed amusement
today over the publication in outside
papers to the effect that he was be-
coming down-hearted over the out
come of the charges against him.
IF I am less jolly than usual" he
said, lit is news to me. For feel as
confident Of the outcome now. as I
have at any time. This talk that the
case is causing me to become dis
couraged is simply newspaper DOPE"
