WOMEN CAUSED DOWNFALL
W. 7. johnson Baggsgeman, Con-
fessed Mail Robber and Bigsmist.
STEALS TO MAKE FRIENDS
signs Common Law Contract with
Council Bluffs Woman While
Under the Influence of
Liquor.

An irresistible longing for feminine
eompanionship is the reason given by
William T. johnson. confessed mail rob-
Der, for the incidents which have brought
him face to face with a long term in the
penitentiary at Leavenworth. besides be-
ing charged also with blgamy. johnson
in signed confession gwen TO federal
postofice inspectors at Denver said that
being compelled to travel from place TO
place he was unable to be in company
Of his wife as long as he wished and
in order to make friends" along his
route, he began to rob the mails. TO
which he had free access by means Of q
pass key which he had found. johnson
says he became Intimately acquainted
with Alice Delaney OF Council Bluffs,
and that one night while under the in
fluence Of liquor in the Hotel Rome he
signed a common law marriage contract
with her. This affair led up to the charge
OF bigamy lodged with Denver officials
last week.
Mrs. Johnson at Denver Is almost
bordering upon insanity because of her
husbands actions and her case Is ex-
citing much sympathy.
In 1902 she married johnson in San
Francisco following a romantic elopement
from her home. She kept the marriage a
secret from her parents for nearly a year,
when a fire destroyed her marriage GER
tificate. She remarked johnson in Dem
Yer In 1908 and had no knowledge of his
attention to other women or Of his tamr
pering with the mails. Miss Delaney OF
Council Bluffs has the common law mar
rage contract. according to johnson.

Inventor Pins Faith
in Parachute Cape
and Leaps to Death

PARIS, Feb. SAN Austrian tailor
named Reicheit was killed today while
testing an automatic parachute cape In

The continuance was OF his own inven-
ton and Reichelt was authorized by the
police to carry out tests with a dummy
first from a stage of Eiffel tower. Hav-
ing absolute faith however. in the eff
cacy OF his invention. Reichelt secretly de-
termined to dispense with the dummy
and try the experiment In person. He
rapidly donned the garment and leaped
into space before he could be stopped.
For some reason the cape failed to open
and Reiehelt dropped like a stone. A
great crowd that had gathered at the base
OF the tower burst into jeers when they
saw what they believed to be the dummy
drop. Their mirth suddenly changed to
CONSERVATION when they realized that II
was the inventor himself. Hardly a bone
in his body was left unbroken.
