Charge of Murder.

Hedges had promised to marry Mrs.
Lucetta Dorsett, the woman he stands
accused of beating to death in her home,
according to Mrs. Samuel Goldberg, a
sister of the murdered woman. who

fense by the woman who had been sum-
moned as their witness.

liminary hearing here was held for trial

WANTS A MANAGER.
Roosevelt Might Take stubbs or Other
Western Progressive.

Boston. Feb. 2S.=Colonel Roosevelt
is embarrassed for lack of a national
campaign manager. Until Tuesday he
had counted upon United States Sena-
tor Dixon of Montana to lead the
nomination fight but word came to
him that Dixon is not sure he can un-
dertake the job, because of illness and
his family
Il have heard from Senator Dixon. .
said the colonel last night refretfully,
land it seems that he may not be able
to lead the campaign. I hope he will
still find it possible TO do 50 but Of
that I am not at all sure
rs there any other manager in
sight - was asked
I know of none" replied Mr.
Roosevelt. I have thought of none
other than Dixon as yet
Asked if Senator Borah of Idaho
would do in the event that Dixon
finally drops out the colonel lntlmated
that Borah would not find time to de-
vote himself to the campaign With
Dixon and BOrah out of it the colonel
IS hard put to hit upon the right man.
Governor StuSbs of Kansas would
be most acceptable to him, but be-
cause of his executive position. Stubbs
feels he must decline. Roosevelt wants
a strong, influential progressive, pref
erabIv from the west. 1t is perplex-
ing problem for the colonel and one
that must be decided at once
one gigantic task the cOlOnels ma
tional manager will have before him
will be to straighten out the southern
situation. Roosevelt has heard from
his political TRUSTEES down there that
President Taft appears to have the
south in the palm of his hand, all with
the possible exception of Texas. Louisi-
ana and part of North Carolina
The coloners intimates have urged
upon him a bitter fight on the Taft

get to the Chicago convention It has
been put up to Roosevelt that ma

to be elected are nothing less than

Roosevelt has been advised to make
a hot fight at the convention against
allowing these delegates to be seated
on the ground that they cannot be re-
garded a party men, The coloneIs ad-
visers maintain that the '+turncoats"

when they found there were federal

come from are reported to be lacking

Calls Dupont to Account for
Delaware Marshal.
MANAGED A BIG SLUSH FUND
Was Used to Corrupt Voters of
the State.
Says Meeting Was Held at the
Senator's Office.

Washington. Feb. 2S.-An array of
evidence heard by the senate judi
ciary committee in it's inquiry into the
appointment of c. p. Swami as United
States marshal for DelaWare. was laid
before the senate today by Mr.. Reed
of Missouri in urging the passage of
his resolution providing for an inves-
tigation of the election of Senator Du-
pont of Delaware. Senator Reed in
sisted if this evidence were given ere
dence. the senate not only should in
vestigate the 1910 election. but should
demand of the Deleware senator an
explanation of his action in recon-
mending for appointment to the high
office of United States marshal a man
whom he knew to be engaged in cor
rupt practices
II deem this to be my solemn
duty said the senator "and shall be
glad if a thorough investigation re-
suits in completely exculpating the
senator from Delaware.
The disclosure made by the wit
nesses are of such character as to de-
mand further investigation That in
vestigation ought to be courted by any
innocent man.
"On January %. 1912, the president
appointed Cornelius p Swami United
States marshal for the district of Del
aware, and sent that appointment to
the senate for confirmation. With an
alacrity which was astonishing the
report was reported by the committee
and on the day it reached the senate
confirmed. Such, at least is the
neWspa per statement.

HE KISSED Her AGAIN.
FimmeI Claimant Recognized Her,
Former Sweetheart Says.

St. Louis, Feb. 2s-After offering
documentary evidence dealing with
photographs of George A. Kimmel
and the claimant the defense in the
famous mystery hearing in
the United States district court here
rested its case this morning and the
plaintiff began rebuttal testimony.
It was expected all testimony would
be in by night and that arguments
would be made tomorrow.
Mrs. Harriet B. Marston testified
that she went to Peru. Ind. last Jan
uary to see the claimant who was in
a hospital after he had been injured
in a railroad wreck and she identified
the claimant, Andrew J. White as the
Kimmel to whom she was engaged in
1890
She said the claimant recognized
her a the same time she did him
and that he took her in his arms. She
was the third woman witness who
testified today that the claimant
showed more than the usual friend
ship. Two of them told the jurors
that the claimant kissed them when
he first met them.
The general contour of the head
and the ears the witness testified,
impressed her with the thought that
the claimant was Kimmel. On cross
examination she was forced to relate
her that no other person than her for
mer fiance would know of them.
Mrs. Francis Fox, a cousin of Kim
mel, was the next to the last witness.
She was kissed by the claimant in
the Auburn prison. She entertained
the former convict after his release
from prison and he made his home
with her for eight weeks.
johnson Not in Kansas City.
Charles Montague, cousin of Kim
mel. was a witness for the plaintiff
in rebuttal He testified that Kim
meI's uncle. Charles A johnson, was
in Niles, Mich. the day that Kimmei
disappeared. According to the claim
ant Johnson drugged him in Kansas
City July 30 S19S.
The last thing placed before the jury
by the defense was the letter written
to Harry Fox of Niles, by the claim
ant when the latter was in prison. The
letter contained the cast of players III
an amateur play and lawyers sought
to show the Improvement in the claim
ants handwriting as he .regained his
health.
