While wispy. gray. faded hair is not

pfanschmidt Case.

Quincy, ILL.,, April 4.-The state
scored it's best inning in the prosecu-
ton Of Ray Pfanschmidt. aged 81. on
trial for the quadruple murder OF his
parents, sister and Miss Emma

Miss Esther Reeder. the young mans
fiancee; Daniel Reeder. her father:
Archie Pape, Of this city, and Wills
Seehorn, an employee at Pfanschmidts
grading camp. were the principal Wit
nesses. Much damaging evidence was
given by them.
1t was for love of Miss Reeder, the
prosecutor contends young Plan
schmidt committed the crime. That ne
was determined to marry Miss Reeder.
and. for the marriage he needed money.
He was deeply in debt, and to raise
money he was driven to the desperate
act of killing every person who stood
between him and the large PAN
schmidt estate. Is the theory OF the
prosecution.

CURED on the night of Sept. - and was
not discovered until early Sunday
morning, when the house was burned.
Both Mr.. Reeder and his daughter
told of young Pfanschmidt visiting
their home on the evening Of Friday.

committed.
The young mans clothing. worn that
night, was described as being the same
or similar to that found in the vault
near young Pfanschmidt's grading
camp a week after the murder and
which bore spots of human blood.
They said that he left the Reeder
home about 1890 o'clock that night.
They also told of meeting Pfan-
schmidt at the scene Of the murder on
the following Sunday morning. AT that
time the defendant showed no great
amount Of concern. During the Sun
day afternoon and all night that night
they said the young man was the guest

President Elected.

The board of trustees of the Mary
land Agricultural College at the special
meeting held Thursday at the Hotel
Rennert elected Prof. Henry J. Patter-
son, as president of the college.
Professor Patterson is now and has
been for number of years the director
of the Maryland Agricultural Expert
ment Station. He is also master of the
Maryland State Grange, and as such
has been in closer touch with the farm
ers and the farming interests OF
Maryland than any other man in the
State.
The presidency of the college has
been open for nearly six months, when
DR.. R. W. Sylvester, who has held the
position for nearly 20 years, resigned
and since then the board of truftees
has been endeavoring to find a success
Sor.
Director Patterson, who has been
chosen president, has made fine re-
cord while in charge of the Expert
ment Station, and is claimed to have
the confidence and respect of the farm
ers throughout the State. He was not
candidate for the position and it is
understood did not desire it, but was
willing to serve if the board elected
him.
