BARROW CIPHER DISCOVERED
kilograms Show Attorney Agreed to
Spend $1,000 for Evidence Seized
by Indiana Authorities.

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. 2.-Three
cipher kilograms. purporting to have
passed between Clarence Darrow and
Leo Rappaport. the Indianapolis attor-
ney. November 20 and December J..
figured In a sensational ending We'd
nesday to a rather dull day OF cross
examination OF barrow by Assistant
District Attorney Ford in the trial OF
the Chicago labor lawyer before Super
Tor Judge Hutton on the charge OF jury
bribery.
These kilograms not intro
lated by Ford from a code which he
had worked out, and were used by him
10 refresh the memory OF the witness.
The gist OF the kilograms was an
authorization by barrow November 20
for Rappaport 10 spend $1,000 In the
attempt to regain through the courts
the evidence against the dynamiters
which had been captured In Indian.
apolis, and on December 1. the day the
McNamaras pleaded guilty, barrow
WlTeu tNhfpdpotb NV '" elSHN $50
$1,000.
Darrow admitted the exchange OF
kilograms. though he did not identify
those exhibited to him. The conten-
ton OF the defense has been on the
lack OF motive" theory: that before
the Lockwood bribery was committed
barrow had made up his mind to
accept the terms OF settlement offered.
and therefore would have no motive
or brlbing a juror, knowing that the
trial would not go on. The prosecu-
ton will contend that this offer to
spend 81, 0eO for the indianapolis EVIL
dence. made the day after the Lock.
wood bribery. Is evidence that Oar
row still thought the trial would pro-
coed.

for hearing at the September term Of
the federal court in Deadwood. PER-
sons In touch with the case declare
that the accused persons are absolutes
ly clear Of any intentional law viola.
ton and that the foundation of tho
case is entirely technical. In the pro-
cess Of financing and assisting a cou.
pie OF relatives to obtain homesteads
in Trip county, they are said to have
taken steps that may make them
amenable to the complicated statutes
relating to homestead affairs . Bank
ers in all towns In the homestead

themselves. have infringed to some
extent on the bunglesome homestead
laws. although operating in a strictly
honorable manner. Much indignation
is felt here that Mrs. Shepard and
Mrs. Bowersox should have been drag

as a sample OF the operations Of the

Deets' Advice to Clubs.

Pierre.-Immigration Commissioner
Deets continues to receive both appli-
cations from towns for men, and APP
plications for places by men wanting
work. He suggests that the CONNER
cial clubs of the different towns in
the section OF the state where men
are needed, form a free e~mployemnt
bureau for the town at which those
seeking work, and those wanting men
ian be brought together without de-
lay. They. in his estimation, could
put out a sign which would attract the
seeker after employment, and he
would not need to stand around wait
ing for a chance TO go to work in a
strange town. The state department
will supply the men wanting work
with names Of the places where the
want is most pressing, and will pro-
vide the commercial clubs of the
towns with lists Of names and loca-
tons of men to be secured. and the
men with names OF towns, and inform
the commercial clubs OF his action.
