ACCIDENT WILL De
PLEA OF DEFENSE

That Frank E. Funk Of Wash
That Frank E. Funk of Wash
burn was kilyled by a stray bull
let and not by the hand of an
assassin, will be the plea of the
defense in the trail of w. T. Ar
derson on a charge of murder.
This fact was announced by Tracy
Bangs, attorney 1or the defendant
yesterday.
Lack of motive on the part of
Anderson. for killing Funk will
be one Of the strong points in
the defense. Officials of the bank
have made statements to the ef-
feet that their relations in q bust
ness and social way were pleas
ant.
The bullet that killed Funk was
fired in broad daylight, it being
about seven o'clock in the even-
ing. The theory that anyone had
laid in wait for Funk is chal-
lenged on that point.
The charge that the bullet was
fired from the home of w. T.. An
derson, through a window about
IS or 40 feet from the place where
Funk was standing, is contended
to be absurd because Anderson
would have had to stand in a po-
sition where Funk could easily
have seen him as he emerged
from his kitchen door to pick up
his little girl, who had stumbled
and fallen to the ground. It was
while he was STOPPING down that
Funk received the fatal wound.

MORE VETERANS LET OUT
Representative Austin Gathers
Additional Evidence Against
Pension Official.

Evidence is being accumulated by Rep
Sesentative austin Of Tennessee which
will be used by him in his demand that
the demotions Of the pension office old
soldiers and veterans widows be investi-
gated by the House of Representatives.
The names Of three additional old SOL
diers recently reduced were received by
him yesterday. Also he obtained the
names Of five veterans who had previous
ly been employed In the Office OF the audi
tor for the Post Office Department and
who have been dropped from the rolls of
the government service by what is al
legged to have been a trick. The five en-
plOyes were transferred to the temporary
roll of the pension Office after changes in

resulted in a looping off Of salaries there.

the story goes, that after being transfer

ton calling for a report from the pen

to the attention of the chairman. Repre-
sentative Graham of Illinois. That COM

not bothering Mr.. Austin. who expressed
himself yesterday as confident the proper
information will be forthcoming.
