Act Of Vengeance.

Definite evidence has been secured

arnold said Friday, that the murder
Of Jennie Cavaglier. young Italian
woman, near Stratford, Conn, after

men Of her nationality in an automo-
bile from Bridgeport, Conn, was an
act Of vengeance executed upon ner
for having betrayed secrets Of white
slave" traficEers.
Capt. Arnold says that the evil
dence shows that the manner OF the
woman's death was decided st con-
ference between the five men impli-
Gated held in the Italian quarters Of
the city Sunday night. At this con-
ference it was determined whether
the woman should be slashed with
the "squealer's" mark or should be
put to death. The latter was de-
termined r2ca.
According to Cant. Arnold. the FIVE
men came to Bridgeport under direc-
tions from certain men in the white
slave" traffic for the express purpose
CT making away with the woman be-
cause she had betrayed the organ
ization code which provides 6isigure-
mert or death for any person who
becomes untrue or any woman who
leaves the man under whose pro-
lection or with whom she had been
living.
Investigation Of the case. Capt. Ar
mold declares. has so far failed to re-
veal the true identity Of the woman.
although she has been given several
names since the crime was commit
ted. There is every Indication, how
ever, he says, that she was closely
connected with white slave" traffic
ir New York, New Haven. Conn. and
Chicago Some OF the evidence col
lected tends to show a direct connec-
ton between the shooting and the
vice crusade" in Chicago. and that
the woman's death was decreed BY
the national odganization" Of
white slave" traders.

SEICLER TO BE HANGED
SOUTH CAROLINA NAN GETS IN
SERIOUS TROvBLE.
Convicted Of the Murder !of Henry A.
Stanford to an Oklahoma Court
Some Time Ago.

Henry A. Seigler, former resi-
dent of Mccormick in this State, was
convicted some time ago Of the muir
der of VIM. A. Stanford, rival claim
owner in the Wichitas, and with pun
ishment fixed at death by the jury in
the case, was Friday sentenced by
Judge J. T. Johnson of the district
court to be hanged by the neck until
dead, date of execution being fixed
for November 29, between sunrise
and sunset. Pronouncement. OF SEN
tence followed the overruling OF the
motion for a new trial, hearing on
same having been had two weeks
ago.
An Oklahoma paper in speaking OF
the case, says the defendant, his wife
and children, attorneys for the de-
fence and state, as well as a number
OF spectators were present when sem
tence was pronounced and the scene
was, in a sense, dramatic. The wife
Of the convicted man collapsed when
sentence was pronounced, weeping
bitterly.
When asked by the court as to
whether he had anything to say as to
why sentence of death should not be
passed upon him, Seigler arose and
spoke for some minutes. He stated
in firm voice that he did not feel
like he was guilty and that he did
not feel like he had had fair trial.
Not only that but Seigler stated that
he felt like the court knew it.
He denounced the states case as q
frame up between county attorney,
John 4. Fain and number of 9th
ers who did not care what they swore
to on witness stand. He declared
that the proceeding had been an in
justice and that be felt like he had
not had square deal.
To representative Of the press
he said, that while he was not relig-
ious man, if he were going to pray to
God to forgive his sins he would nev-
er mention the killing Of Stanford,
as he was compelled to kill or be
killed. That, before God, the killing
occurred just as himself and wife
had testified.
When he mentioned his wife, and
children he could not restrain his
emotion, and the tears coursed down
his cheeks. He states his belief that
when the criminal court of appeals
passes upon his case the decision rem
dered will demonstrate that he has
not received justice.

The Webster county grand jury at

McClosky for murder in the first de-
gree for the killing of Tom Brown,
late of this city, in stabbing af-
fray upon the streets of Fort Dodge
few weeks ago. Brown died few
days after the stabbing in the hos
pital in that city. One of the feat
ures OF the case which was bad for
McCioskey was that the stabbing
was done after he had been placed
under arrest. 1t was the opinion Of
a number of people that McCloskey
would be accused of manslaughter,
but the jury probably took into con-
sideration every phase Of the case
and returned the first degree MUIR
der bill. He was committed to Jail
without bonds.
