CONFESSED MURDER
ON WITNESS STAND
Cage Cannot Be Tried Again for
Killing Detective.
IN COURT VOLUNTARILY.
Cage Was Tried For the Murder OF
John J. Reardon and Acquitted
More Than Year
Ago.

Columbus, O.-"They buried him,
didn't they?" was the insolent, sneer-
ing reply Lee Cage gave to a question
asked him by Judge Cater in the Unit
ed States District Court here.
Cage, who is a member of the Iron
Molders' Union, of Wheeling. w. Va,
had just confessed on the witness
stand that he had killed Detective
John ]. Reardon, of Pittsburgh, at
Steubenville in 1910 during labor trou-
bles.
He was tried for Reardon's murder
and was acquitted more than year
ago. When he admitted his guilt Judge
Cater, apparently stunned by the un-
expected admission, exclaimed:
you really mean to tell this court
that you assassinated that MANI"
Cannot Be Tried Again.
Knowing that under the laws of
Ohio, having been in jeopardy of his
life once, he cannot be tried again
for his crime, Lee made the cool re-
ply quoted.
Cages confession resulted in dis
missal of proceedings pending before
Judge Safer involving disposition of
$4,000 reward money offered by the
commissioners of Jefferson county and
another suit by Reardon's administra-
tor to collect $4,000 damages from JEFF
ferson county because of Reardon's
death.
Following his admission that he
fired the shots which riddled the body
of the Pittsburgh detective, an agreed
order was entered allowing the dead
mans heirs $1,500.
Was a Voluntary Witness.
Cages appearance on the witness
stand came as a surprise to attorneys
for Reardon's estate. He said that he
had come into court voluntarily.
$50 you were not satisfied with hav-
ing killed Detective Reardon, but now
come into court and confess to that
crime so that you may help to de-
fraud the little daughter of your vic
tim out of what rightfully belongs to
herr" queried Attorney Lewis.
"Oh, don't know as | am,' was the
reply.
After settlement of the case Cage
left the courtroom hurrie1ly, and is
said to have started for Wheeling.

War Prevention

Why would it not be a good po-
licy for the United States Govern
ment to order all American citizens
to leave Merico at once, and to re-
main away until all danger is pass
ed; the United States Government to
furnish the cost of transportation to
all unable to meet it.; permitting
those Americans who refused to ban
doned the country temporarily to re-
main at their own peril? Every pa
triotic American in Mexico should
be willing to return home, if by so
doing he is helping to save his coun-.
try from the possibility of a needless
war, which would be tremendous
expense in the lives of American SOL
diers, as we'll as money. AS long as
the lives of Americans are protected
in Mexico, war remains an impossi-
bility. But should Americans be kill
ed as result of some sudden out
break Of the populace, the danger Of
war would be imminent. AS long as
Americans remain in Mexico there
can be no positive guarantee against
the necessity for armed Intervention.
But if the Americans will leave
Mexico, all possibility of the neces-
sity for armed intervention is re-
moved. ~ ~ i
That there would be a great hard
ship and some financial loss to Am
ericans in temporarily quitting
Mexico, is obvious. But such hard
ships and money loss would be but
drop in the bucket when compared
with the possible killing of thou
sands of American soldiers, should
war ensue. Americans who insist up
& 4. 4 .
on remaining in Mexico can have
little cause for just complaint
against lack of protection by this
government, because even Mexicans
are unsafe as the result of the chao-
tic conditions existing in that un-
happy republic. Even the president
and Vice President were murdered.
There is every evidence that many
rich Americans who have money in
vested in Mexico, would like to see
armed intervention. These men
would like to have American soldiers
used as policeman to guard their
property. Why should the lives of
