J. Allen. Of New Virginia. who mar
ried Shetterly's divorced wife. Altho
facing charge of murder Shetterly
says he has done his duty because he
beiieves that by killing Allen he could
get his former wife TO return to him.
Allen and Mrs. Shetterly We're married
less than two weeks ago.
Il have prayed to God for strength
and endurance to Stay this man and l
have done my duty" he said.
Shetterly was taken to Indianola by
Sheriff kimer, after 1t was discovered
that the murder was committed just
across the line in Warren county.
Shetterly is not sorry in the least
for his act. Neither does he care what
the officers do as he feels that he is
justified in Staying the man who mar
ried his divorced wife.
Three years ago, while residents of
Lorimor, Shetterly and his wife separ-
ated. He went to Aletha, Kan, to live
with his mother and she went to Win
terset. A week ago he read that Mrs.
Shetterly had married Allen, a meat
shop proprietor at New Virginia, and
from that moment Shetterly said he
prayed for endurance to kill Allen. who
formerly was in business at Elm Grove
and Van Vert.

Two days ago he says he left Kansas
and came to Hanley, Iowa. He walked
across from Hanley to ST. Charles in
search of Allen and from there went to
New Virginia. getting off the train that
Allen and his wife boarded.
Shetterly had never seen Allen. When
he stepped from the train he inquired
about Allen and was told that Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen had just boarded the train
for Osceola. The train was just pulling
out and Shetterly swung aboard the
rear coach, almost falling under the

began.

Des Moines. July 20. Will the
adoption Of the plan of making use
of convict labor in road work in Iowa
have an injurious effect on the COM
munities where the road camps are To-
Gated?
Warden c. C.. McClaughry, of An
amosa. raised the question. He has
had some experience with highway
work by convicts.
T "One thing we may we'll consider"
he said while attending the conferences
with the board Of control to plan for
the new system in Iowa, and that is
the influence Of convict camps on the
communities, or rather on certain
members Of the community. These
camps always attract people who are
moved by curiosity. They want to go
and see. OF course the good people
who see will turn away to give it no
further thought. But there will come
others who will ponder long over the
matter. In their eyes these convicts
are bold, bad men who have done
something unusual. The more they are
remembered the worse it is and some
persons will end by initiating the con-
victs.
The effect is not so bad down in
Georgia. for instance. where 80 per cent
of the convicts are negroes and all
who are sent out to the road camps
are colored men. The colored people
that the convicts are well fed and
oil ole hot thn1y
have terribly long hours and hard la
bors and this offsets all else. In the
federal prisons down south the con-
victs generally feel that they are bet
ter off than outside. but not so in the
state prisons and on the road camps"
Needs Careful Supervision.
Mr.. McClaughry believes that the
matter Of putting prisoners out on the
highways must be done in connection
with the parole board and its work
and be carefully supervised.
THE persons to be sent out on the
road work should be those who are
practically ready for parole" he said.
There must be no favoritism. Men
can be assigned to the camp according
to rigid rules and not because their
relatives or friends urge that they be
SO sent. The friendless man in prison
must have exactly the same chance as
the one with influential friends. Yes,
we have good many who can with
safety be sent out on the highway
work and they will prove good work.
ers. They must be treated as men and
not be placed under armed guard. but
in fact be TRUSTEES. Thep we will get
good work out Of them and it will be
a sensible system"
The board and the wardens are pre-
pairing rules for the working out Of the
new system in Iowa. If the state can
gain anything by the use Of some Of
the convicts in road making it is their
desire that it be done as quickly as
possible
