ed unwarranted shooting of IA
year-old Lloyd Bragg, and subse-
quent arrest on a charge of first
degree assault, will be prosecuted
only on charge of the reckless
use of firearms. Prosecuting At

probably be pursued.
Weston was arrested by Con-

McNAMARAS AND McMANICAL
TO BE CHARGED WITH MURDER
Woman Sacrifices Her Reputation to Furnish
Alibi for DR.. Cleminson, Condemned Murderer
DRAMATIC CONFESSION MAY
SAVE PHYSICIAN FROM
LIFE SENTENCE AS WIFE
SLAYER-SECOND ANNA IN
THE CASE.

CHICAGO, April 25.-Sacrific-
ing honor and reputation to save
a convicted murderer from life
Imprisonment, Mrs. Anna Schmidt
of st. Louis has assumed a dra-
matte role often pictured In nov
els but seldom realized in life.
She has come here with vol
untary confession that DR.. Hal
dane Cleminson could not. in hon.
or, tell his whereabouts on the
night he is alleged to have killed
his wife because the doctor and
Mrs. Schmidt spent the entire
night together in the physician g
private office.
81 care not what will now hap
pen to me, 1t is either the loss OF
my reputation as good woman
or the unjust imprisonment of
that man for life, which is far
worse than death to any person; !;
] must confess If it kills nj" said
Mrs. Schmidt.
Mrs. Schmidt's evidence may
result in an acquittal should the
supreme court before which an
appeal of the case now is, send 1t
back for retrial.
Another woman figured prom
inently in DR.. Cleminson's first
trial. By curious coincidence
she is also named Anna. Miss
Anna Kolb, with whose dreamy
eyes the condemned physician
was said to be entranced while he
was counting her during absences
from his wife and children, all
but sacrificed her good name for
him Immediately after he was ar
rested for staying his wife in
1909.
She battled valiantly against
prying police officers; upon TIE
witness stand she tried her best
to save the physician from prison
walls, but verdict of guilty was
returned, despite her efforts.

In a Pool
Says Seymour

George Wright, low bidder on
the pipe line for the Green river
gravity water system, this morn
ing told the city commission that
the bonding companies we're hesi-
tating about writing his bond and
asked the commission to accept a
personal bond with good sureties
for $412,000 and a surety bond
for 100000. Judge Stiles said
this was entirely adequate and le-
gal. The matter was laid over
until tomorrow.
Mayor Seymour took occasion
to indicate strongly that he be-
lieved the bonding companies
were in a pool and were playing
sharp tricks.
They could fix this bond up IN
a little while back east. there IL
they wanted to but | am satisfied
they are In pool" said the may
or.
A local bonding agent present
said the bonding companies had
been disturbed"
The disturbance finally simmer
ed down to the point that Wright
had asked several companies for
bond at once and so no one would
help out the others and the bond
Is SO large none can write It
alone.

BOYS BRIGHTEN BURGLARS
CARRYING STOLEN BOOTY.

After making sure that the police
man on the e was out of sight two
men early today broke into the store
of Max LIGHT, at 416 North Third street,
Cast Newark, and managed to cart
away about $40 worth of eatables.
LIGHT discovered the robbery when he
opened up today and he reported the
matter to the East Newark police, who
are now investigating.
Frank and Romeo D'Auria, who live
next to the LIGHT store, were awakened
about 3 O'Clock by a noise that sounded
like glass breaking. Terrified, the
youngsters ran into the room of their
mother, whom they told of the occur
renee. No other noise was heard and
the lads returned to their bed. Gaz-
ing u of the window they saw two
men carrying II several bundles. The
youngsters shouted and the burglars
tool to their heels. No effort was
made to locate the police, although one
was within hailing distance.
Policeman. Alexander McKenna had
tried the door of the LIGHT store a few
minutes before the burglary was dis
covered. According to h bluecoat,
everything was o. K. at the store and
he continued on his way. The police
think that the burglars watched Nc
Kenna.
The marauders first tried to gain en-
trance by means of a rear window.
They broke the pane of glass, but were
unable to raise the window, as 1t was
tightly nailed. The police and LIGHT
think that the men opened the back
door with a key and got in that. way.
It was the first robbery TO occur in
East Newark in many months.
