Duke" who had agreed with woman

little credencc vas placed IN the story,
il was investigated. and through the
hotel address given BY the Duke
Anderson was traced TO a farm in Put
nam County and brought down here
to-day.
Anderson had perfect alibi. He
had witnesses to prove that he MIXED
twelve cows on Tuesday evening, June
80.
Toe and the Duke" were turned
loose in the same corridor in the Min
cola Jail this afternoon. They passed
and repassed each other for half an
hour without making a sign of recog-
milton. Then they were brought to-
gethcr.
"Why. that's not my Joe" cried the
Duke" My Joe is out in Kansas

conhdcd TO them that he made up the
plot story in the belief that the Dis
trict Attorney would give him 500 aud
a ticket TO Kansas City, and send hlm
there to bring Joe back. He wanted a
trip 10 that city.

said:
Thinks Story mistaken.
despite all the questioning. counsel
FOR the defence did not succeed IN
showing that Bardes had ever Deen
tried. convicted. or even indicted, for
am crime. There are things in his
past which may be subject for cri.i-
cism. but nothing has been developed
which mas shaken his crcdiOllity as a
witness. They have been unable to
show that the story he told a. the m
quest is untrue"

three visitors. her husband. her counsel
and Mrs. Petit. wife Of the Sheriff. II

Mrs. Carman had a good appetite to
