MISSING boy IS
found IN WELL
Cambridge Lad Pinioned in Ten
Inch Bore for Forty Eight
Hours.

Cambridge, April 1S.-Willie
Conner, who was reported lost last
evening was found Wednes-
day afternoon in an old abandoned
ten inch we'll, where he had been
for almost forty-eight hours. Willie,
who is only 6 years old, did not
come home Monday night, but that
did not seem to give his mother any
as she believes in let
ting her children take care Of them
selves, but when the little fellow
did not show up Tuesday she told
some of the neighbors that Willie
must have ran away from home, but
it seems that the little fellow in
playing around the back yard STEP
ped into this we'll.
When found he was in an upright
position, with his arms extended
above his head, and as this well Is
only ten inches in diameter, he was
so firmly wedged in that 1t took
thirty minutes to get him loose. He
was conscious when found and the
doctors are in hopes of saving his
life.

Joe Saws He Means It.

Our good friend Joe Fardal, who
says he is a candidate for the legis-
lature, declares that he means it.
The Freeman-Tribune had thought
he was only joking and looked upon
his activities in that direction much
as it did upon the activity of B. F,
Keltz when he was saying he would
be candidate for United States
senator against Senator Cummins
Everybody thought Bert was only
joking and nearly everybody thought
the same thing of Joe's claims for
recognition" But If Joe Is really
going to be a candidate he is GER
tainly entitled to such consideration
as his merits deserve. However, we
must protest against his attempt to
lug the Freeman-Tribune into the
contest which has no candidate
and which has no favors to ask of
any candidate for the legislature or
for any other position.

SOUTH DAKOTA
TRAGEDY IS NOT
DOUBLE MURDER
Early Theory Shattered by Discov-
cry of Bullet Hole in Head
of One Victim.

Geddes, S. D., April 1S.-Develop-
ments in the killing of w. H. Men
zie and Miss Blanche Signal, whose
bodies were found in the ruins of a
lumber office here yesterday morn
ing, now point strongly toward muir
der and suicide.
Examination by doctors of the
body of Menzie yesterday afternoon
disclosed a bullet hole through the
head made by a 32-caliber bullet en-
tering on the right side and pene-
trating the brain and leaving on the
left side. The pistol which had
been kept in the Office for protec-
ton was found in the ruins at a
spot near where his body lay. One
exploded shell was found in the gun
and another shot seemed to have
blown the gun barrel off.
The robbery theory was apparent
ly shattered by the discovery that no
money was taken from Menzie's
body, considerable sum being
found in his clothing.
Mr.. Menzie was widely known in
the state as a promoter of the farm
ers' cooperative idea.

the Bank of Kelley and others.
Henry Banks, father-in-law of PEN
field, was held by the jury for an
amount of s21,624.96 in favor of
the creditors of the defunct bank.
Penfield, about three years ago,
took all the available assets of his
bank and absco4ded, leaving his
bank to collapse His speculation
amounted to about 10000 at the
time of the trial, which was begun
in the state district court in Nevada
four days ago.
The jury went out at 4:30 We'd
nesday afternoon and reported a
verdict to the court at 3:15 yester-
day afternoon.
Nels Anfinson, a depositor in the
bank, following the failure of the in
stitution, filed suit against Siverly
and Banks to recover the money lost
by the depositors, claiming they
were connected with Penfield in the
collapse. The only basis for drag
ging Siverly into the case was that
his name appeared at the foot of the
banks statement. It developed in
the testimony that Siverly signed
the statement simply as cashier, and
that he was only an innocent en-
ploye of Penfeld. Siverly had left
Penfeld's employ a few years prior
to the failure of the Bank of Kelley.
Banks is expected to appeal from
the verdict.

nolan MAKES
A CONFESSION
OF MURDER
Gives Details of Crime Committed
In Canada Last
March.
VICTIMS WATCH IS FOUND
Property of Englishman Had Been
Sold at Eagle
VICTIMS WATCH IS FOUND

Humboldt, April 1S.-According
to a confession supposed to have
been made Thursday night by James
Nolan, arrested here Thursday on a
charge of murder of Canadian
homesteader last March, the man
admits having committed the crime.
Details given out as coming from
the prisoner give the following YER
sion of the murder:
Nolan went to the home of the
man, who was an Englishman by
the name of Cary one evening to get
him to drive the Nolan family some
distance overland. Cary lived alone
in cabin near Wood Mountain in
the vicinity of Regina. The murder
was committed that night and the
victim killed with a club or a sand
bag in the cabin.
Nolan then drove to his home, he
is reported to have confessed, and
took with him the body of the muir
dered man together with a valuable
team. The woman and child Joined
him and for three days and nights
they continued on the way. The
body was removed from the wagon
at 4 o'clock the first morning and
hidden in some brush.
Nj
fore the crime was discovered.
Neighbors of the homesteader miss
ed him and after several days re-
ported the matter to the Canadian
mounted police. The body was
found and the trail of the murderer
taken up by them. One man follow
ed the trail of the wagon for days
and finally got track Of Nolan in
Montana.
The team had been disposed of
for $50 and was worth great deal
more according to reports of the OF
ficer. Nolan jumped from place to
place in q vain endeavor to shake
off pursuit but was always within
a short distance of the vigilant de-
tective.
A coat said to have been the
property of the Englishman was also
found in Montana and helped trace
the murderer. About two weeks
ago Nolan was in Eagle Grove, Ia,
and is said to have sold a watch
there which was formerly the prop
erty of the victim. This was recov-
cred Thursday.
Nolan formerly lived near Tole-
do, Tama county, Iowa, and left
there for Canada about year ago.
He broke down completely after the
confession and agreed to go back to
answer for the crime. He tainted
after the ordeal and was weak from
exhaustion yesterday. He is man
about 35 years Of age of small sta
ture. The victim was about Is
years OF age and had taken up the
Canadian claim some time previous
to the murder.

LEO FRANKS
Sentence TO
DIE STAYED

Given New Lease on
Life.
MAY GET A NEW TRIAL.
Defendants Attorneys File Two Mo-
lions for Second
Hearing.
MAY GET A NEW TRIAL

Atlanta, Ga, April 17.-EXecu-
ton of Leo NJ. Frank, the young
factory superintendent sentenced to
hang today, for the murder of A.
year-old Mary Phagan, was stayed
yesterday.
Attorneys filed two motions in an
effort to save the life of the defend
ant, the central figure in case that
has caused national interest. One
asks the annulment of the verdict
on the ground that the trial judge
erred in allowing Frank to be abb
sent from court when the verdict
was announced. The other asks
new trial on the claims of newly
discovered evidence.
The arguments on both motions
will be heard April %. This action
of the court automatically stays the
hanging of Frank until final action
is taken on the two motions.
Absence of the defendant from the
court room was agreed to by the
trial Judge and two of Franks three
lawyers. The third attorney knew
nothing of the plan, it is said.
Judge Roam, presiding, is said to
have suggested the absence, and at
torneys for both sides agreed, fear
ing violence to Frank in case a YER
dict Of acquittal were returned. The
defense attorneys were also absent.
The Interpretation of law made
in the motion to set aside the verdict
holds counsel for the defense had no
right to agree to Franks absence. It
deprived Frank, the motion asserts,
of his right to counsel at that time
and of his legal privilege to be in
the court room.
Relative to the agreement on
Franks absence at the time of the
verdict, Solicitor General Hugh M.
Dorsey yesterday issued the follow
ing statement:
"Under the promise of two of
Franks attorneys that no advantage
would be taken of it, and over my
protest to the judge against proceed
ing under that promise. Judge L. S.
Roam, of his own motion, permitted
the accused to be absent from court
when the verdict was rendered."
The two defense attorneys con-
cerned also issued a statement, say
ing:
Because of our participation in
the agreement with the judge, as
counsel, we feel we ought not to
take part as attorneys in the motion
to set the judgment aside upon the
ground of Franks absence.
Frank made no agreement with
the court and was asked to make
none. If, as a result of what hap
pened, he has been deprived of his
legal right, no fair minded man can
complain when Frank asks the law
to correct the wrong done him."
Afidavits included in the extraor-
binary motion for a new trial attack
evidence offered by the state and
were made public before the motion
was filed.
