iowa COUPLE
DESERT CHILD
LEAVE THREE.MoNTHS OLD BABE
AND GO TO DENVER; HAVE
BEEN REQUisiTioNED

Des Moines, July 1s.-Prosecution
of husband for wife desertion Is not
an uncommon case under the Iowa
statutes, but one of the strangest
cases brought to light is that of an
Iowa couple said to have deserted
their three months-old baby girl, and
for whose return to the state requisi-
tion papers have been issued by the
governor. Under the Iowa statute the
husband or wife who deserts child
is subject to punishment for desertion.
DUDE McClaskey and wife, Winnie,
of Exline, Appanoose county, are the
couple for whom the requisition Is
issued. They are charged with having
deserted their 3-months-old child, q
girl baby. 1t is their second child, an
older one being with the parents, who
have been found at Denver, Colo,
where the sheriff of Appanoose county
will arrest the couple.
The case started some time ago at
Exline. The parents were arrested
on the charge of cruelty to the child.
Neighbors testified in court that they
laid the baby on a bare wire springs
and that the flesh was cut from the
contact with the wires. The couple
were brought into the court of justice
of the peace at Exline for arraign-
ment. They had both the children
with them at this time and asked per-
to go out and secure bail. The
justice granted this request, and the
left the Justices office.
They left the 3-months-old baby with
"his honor and did not return. The
little child has been taken care of by
the Justice, and the country has been
searched for the parents. They were
in Denver. Sheriff Lee
Dowis of Appanoose county received
requisition papers for the arrest Of
the couple.
The strange feature about the whole
affair is the fact that the older child
has been with the parents, according
to report.
The sheriff has left for Denver.
He states that the couple will be
prosecuted under the desertion statute

GIRLS SLAYER
NOT DROWNED
NATHAN SWARTZ COMMITTED
SUICIDE BY INHALlNG GAS,
NOT IN RIVER.

New York, July 18.-The body OF
Nathan Swartz, whose father informed
the police that his son was the slayer
of 14year old Julia Connors, was
found early today on the fourth floor
of tenement house on Christie street.
Swartz had committed suicide by in.
haling gas The body was identified
by Detective Joseph Brennan. 1t de-
veloped that the body found in the
river yesterday was not that of Swartz.
Swartz had hired the room eight
days ago under the name of Max HRS
kowits from Max Kaplan. Early to-
day Kaplan smelled gas. On investi
cation he found Swartz in bed with the
end of gas tube that ran from the
middle of the ceiling tied to his
mouth. Examination by hospital
physician showed that the man was
dead.
Written In lead pencil on his collar
we're the words II am guilty and in
sane
There were several pieces of news
paper lying around, and on one Of
these was written the sentence:
Il was sorry the minute after did
it. So don't cry for me-"
A letter was found addressed to
Swartz's mother In which he confessed
his guilt and telling her not to cry
her eyes out. Later Philip Swartz, a
brother of the slayer of the Connors
girl, identified the dead man as his
brother.
Only few days ago Swartz's father
informed the police that his son had
told him that he had killed the Con-
nors girl, to which the father respond
ed that there was nothing left but for
the son to commit suicire.
The belief that the body of man
found floating i'm the Hudson river on
Monday and taken to a morgue In Ho-
boken was that Of Nathan Swartz, the
youth accused of numbering 14-year-old
Julia Connors in the Bronx last week,
proves unfounded Henry Alexander,
Of young Swartz, first
identified the body as that of the
youth accused of the Connors crime,
but after second inspection Of the
body declared positively that 1t was
not his brother-in-law. While the re-
semblance was remarkable, he said |
there we're differences, chiefly In the
teeth, which convinced him that he
was mistaken In his first identified
Ion.

Ger TIF|CATES
FOR So TEACHERS
SUPERINTENDENT BURGESS RE.
cEIvEs GRADES OF JUNE
EXAMINATIONS; ARE GOOD

Fifty-nine Of the, eighty-nve appli
cants for first, second and third grade
teaching certificates, who took the ex.
aminations conducted by County Su.
perintendent Elizabeth Burgess, were
successful. Mrs. Burgess has just re-
ceived the grade sheets from the state
board Of education and after an ex-
animation this morning, she was very
much pleased with the results. She
states that the tests this year have
been very much better than those of
previous years. All who took the ex-
aminations may secure their grades
from Mrs. Burgess by calling at her
Office in the court house.
Five teachers were given first grade
certificates. Thirty-two secured Sec
ond grade diplomas and twenty-five
passed successful examination for
third grade certificates. The certifl-
Gates have not been received by Mrs.
Burgess as yet.
The superintendent states that many
OF the applicants failed In only one
study. Others took the test for only
one study, taking advantage Of the
new law which provides for the ex-
aminations to be taken one at time.
Including those in the total number Of
applicants, but few really
failed to qualify for certificates. Those
who failed in one, nov need to take
new test in that one branch only to
secure sufficient credits.
Arithmetic found the Wapello coun-
ty teachers at their best, all receiving
good grades. History was the hardest
test Of all. Mrs. Burgess states that
the per cents on this branch indicate
that the questions given the teachers
were not normal in the sense of not
being of the kind generally given.
