President J. O. Cochran, OF the park
board, was bitter in his reply to the
statement of Expert Sands that the
park board was useless and even re-
tarced the work Of the park depart
meut
He was hired to report certain
things, and those things he had to re-
port" said he.
outside Of his recommendation that
the park board should be abolished, he
did not say anything that was not al
ready known. The trouble with our
parks is lack of money. Why didn't he
tell us where to get more money!"

Commerce committee on municipal re-
search will consider the report at length
within a few days. Then the report will
be submitted to council, through the city

Tells of Poison in
Another Confession.

In another confession to Detective
Moore last night, Mrs. King admitted
that she had put morphine in his coffee.
but the poison hardly affected him. A
second attempt was made when Will
burn, at her suggestion, put strychnfne
in the husbands whisky, and this failed
because Mrs. King saved his life with
a narcotic. The third attempt when
the man was shot with his own gun.
was successful.
Mrs. King also declared that two
months ago she and Wilburn planned to
kill King with a pistol using a weapon
belonging to Frank Wnburn, Nicl1's
brother They were then to take the
discharged cartridge out Of the pistol
and put it in Kings revolver to make
it appear that he committed suicide.
This plan was never executed because
they could not get King alone, one IF

Mrs. Kings second confession shows
that Tor at least four months she and
Wilburn daily plotted to end the life

so hard to tear laid the other two
books aside. Nail, she said, later came
along and threw these books into the

Beyond this, no further evidence has
been found as TO the destruction of the

accounts, but l believe he felt offended
at the idea OF his books being audited
and his old system changed, and simply
determined that this should not be. lie

Opposed to Military
Training for Men.

AS for setting-up exercises and eA
IRENE military features, Police Chic
Beavers dissented again. He takes thu
position that the members of the de.
partment should at all times present 3
neat appearance and exhibit suficeh
authority and force to maintain the nee,
sary discipline, but that there shou.
be no czar-Iike measures or lack e.
ciyility toward citizens.
IF strict military measures are tc-
quired of a police chief" says Chic
Beavers, "the chief will take it out oil
his men, and his men will take it out a'
the people. There is such a thing a
going too far in such reforms.

To Judge Hill.

me, seems clearly ubelous and slam
derous. The truth is, did not find

And MS defense of the negro,
vino is now and has been for some
time in the penitentiary on his own
confession of guilt in open court. is,
under the evidence in the case, only
a part of which he quotes, abso-
