APPALLING STATEMENTS BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL COSSON

Des Moines. Ia. Feb. 25.-Iowa is
sadly at fault in it's methods of cap
turing criminals in it's procedure and
in it's method of treating the prisoners
who have been convicted, declared At
torney General George Cosson in a
speech at the afternoon meeting Of the
Young Mems Christian association yes
terday. At the bottom of these faults.
said the speaker, lie the faults in our
system OF taxation. The state has not
yet awakened to its community inter
est in reform. There are too many in
dependent sovercignties in the state
which make up a great political organ
ization. but not the great business or
g%anization that they should constitute.
I'VE have more murders in the city
IF Des Moines alone than in all Lon
dom" said Mr.. Cosson. we have more
murders in Iowa than in all England.
and moro in the United States than in
nearly all the civilized countries com
bined. with the exception of Russia.
We only convict about four u Of every
100 who commit murder, whereas in
civilized foreign countries from 30 to
95 out of every 100 are convicted"

uttered by Sulzer in his campaign
speeches and in newspapers all but
one are denied by the Tammany Hall
leader. The exception related to a

Judge Beardsley
Sulzer said he rejected this contri-
button upon learning that it came
from Anthony ~ Brady and that the
money subsequently went to Murphy
who he declared. had made no ac
counting OF it. Murphy said ne re-
ceived the money from Beardsley but
returned it to Mr Brady the follow
ing day Mr. Brady died i'm London
last spring. several months after the
incidents mentioned by Murphy and
Sulzer.
Murphy in his statement emphasiz-
ed the fact that Sulier did not make
his charges before the court which
impeached him.
why was Mr. Sulzer afraid to face
the court and there make his state
ments under oath on the witness
stand?" demanded Mr.. Murphy. IL
was willing to appear. He declined
to appear. Mr.. Sulzer tried TO arouse
prejudice by publicly asserting that
the solemn verdict OF the highest
court of the state was due to my in
flucnce. The fact Is that the only
man responsible for the disgrace and
downfall OF Governor Sulzer, is VIII
