BEEN 'eTTPPED OFF"
Extraordinary Precautions Taken ny
County authorities to Prevent
Presidents Assassination.

Hutchinson, Kansas, Sept. Is
What Chief of Detectives 6. Nj. Duck
worth believes to be evidence that
there was we'll laid plot for the as
sassination of President Taft while
he was a guest here last Tuesday was
small eating house, not thirty feet
from the point of the parade headed
by the nations chief executive, Tues
day afternoon, a bomb of deadly ma
ture, which Chief Duckworth believes
had been abandoned by the part or
parties who are supposed to have been
bent on assassinating the nation IS
head
The bomb, which was infinitely ex-
amined by Detective Duckworth who
witnessed many Internal machines in
his career as sleuth, was found to
contain a stick of dynamite, eight
inches long, and three ounces of nitro
glycerine. 1t was admirably arrang-
ed, with a fuse more than a foot long
which is supposed to have been timed,
when lighted, to be cast at the presi-
dents automobile. The whole affair
was wrapped in a bundle of brown
paper. The fuse was taken to police
headquarters and found to be in per-
feet working order.
There is no doubt in my MIND"
said Chief of Detectives Duckworth
tonight, "but that the Internal mach
inc was arrang I'd for President Taft
There is absolutely no reason for the
presence of the missile of such dead
ly contents in the city, other than for
the purpose Of great destruction
which must have been aimed against
the president"
County Sheriff X. G. Beck received
the private information a few days
prior to the arrival of the president
to the effect that scheme was on
foot to use an internal machine and
as result extraordinary precautions
were taken by the president. It is
believed that the watchfulness of the
local officers alone thrawted the aim
of the men who have been delegated
to cast the bomb found here and
which the police have destroyed.

all OF the fifteen speeches he made
in the stopping plaees from Council
Bluffs to this city a1N not once did he
explain precisely hidown views.
1t was day of detmse of the Tariff

Here Monday.

Crying like a child, confessing ev-

employer had instituted a thorough
search for the mother and baby, with
out success. Mrs. Whitehead and the
child are tonigf somewhere in Louis
lana awaiting the arrival of Amos,
with whom she had planned to elope.
Even Amos in his confession swears
that he does not know of her where
abouts, declaring she was to write
him after his arrival at Crowville and
he was to meet her and the two would
go west.
