SUSPECT GUNNER
IN CORD MYSTERY
Jersey Authorities Send a De-
tcctiyc Here to Make East
side search.

CAMDEN. y. J.. Sept. l2-That the
victim was lured by some supposed
friend who had plotted his murder either
for gain or revenge and slain by New
York gunner is the latest theory on
which the Camden county authorities
worked to-day TO solve the mysterious
murder of Samuel :. cord. the Laurel
Springs real estate operator.
In pursuit of several clues that
lent color 10 this latest theory petec-
tive Larry Dorar of Prosecutor kraft's
staff. went t. New York to-day, II III
company With the Central office dctec-
tiyes there Comhod the East Side. The
detective returned last night, but refused
10 say anything relative 10 his quest
one OF the primary objects OF the search
was to n the automobile which was
seen on the road above where the body
was found. Eight a~utomobilists return
ing from New York have Informed the
detectives that they saw a touring car
there.
Prosecutor Kraft Is more anxious
than ever to get iu touch with Ir.
La Forest Almond Shattuck of New
York since he announced to-day that he
had found a letter from DR..
to Olaf Petersen demanding $1,000 I'M
mediately from Samuel :. Cord and
sent TWO days he'ore Cords body was
found with i've bullet wounds.
Peterson. Cords partner. now detained
as a material witness, must have de-
livared the letter to Cord. for II was
found In the latter's home in Laurel
Springs. y. j. AT first II was thought
Shattuck wrote directly 10 Cord. II
was not until to-day that Mr.. kraft
learned that the letter passed through
the hands of Peterson.
The prosecutors interest In Dr. shat
tuck was first aroused when he heard
that the doctor had been connected with
cord and Peterson in Florida land and
timber deals,
Much az he would like to meet DR..
Shattuck, MIR. Kraft admits that there
is no evidence that the demand for $1,000
has any connection with the murder of
cord the day after he must have re-
ceived the letter from Peterson.
The only physical evidence OF the ex-
istence of Dr. Shattuck since the body
OF Samuel cord was found beside the
river road near Delair, y. j., on August
81, is the following note that he left
for inuuirers with his former employer
pr. william j. Bryan of 1893 East Seven
tenth street:
"I know absolutely nothing about the
Cord case except what | read in the
papers. ! can conceive OF no business
associate who would have a motive In
killing him, and least OF all Peterson

ness deals. | have known Peterson fol

a crime,

stantially correct and ! think he has

wicked crime and should not be sus'
pected Just because he was associated

OSBORNE NEAR NEW
CLASH WITH RILEY
Warden Of Sing Sing Ignores
Order to Rcinstate Two Sus-
pended Keepers.
BEGINS IN BECKER CASE

The fight between Superintendent Of
Prisons John Il. Riley and Warden
Thomas Mott Osborne OF Sing Sing
seems about TO break forth again. II is
reported that Warden Osborne viii re-
fuse to r%einstatc Keepers GEORGE Mese-
role and John J. Kennedy, as Supt.
Riley has ordered, and Will make the
question a test case before Gov. Whit
man.
Meserole and Kennedy are the two
keepers whom Warden osborne sus-
pended after Joseph Murphy got into the
death house and talked to Charles
Becker, some two weeks before the ex-
Police Lieutenant was executed. After
that conversation Murphy made affidavit
that he had heard Becker framed up
by witnesses in the case while they were
confined In the TOmbs.
Warden Osborne held the keepers re-
sponsible for the admittance OF Murphy
To- the death house and the investigu-
ton by Gov. Whitman that followed.
Gets No word From Osborne.

from well Informed sources of War

rlattsburg, where Supt. Riley is now
for a meeting of the Parole Board, said
that lie had not yet received notice of
the reinstatement of Mesefole and Ken
nedy. though he advised Warden Os-
borne some time ago TO take such ac-
ton.
Mr.. Riley said that IN his letter he
told the warden that Gov. Whitman be-
lieved the men should be restored to
duty. Mr.. Riley also wrote that he had
never approved of their suspension.
Mr.. Riley does not believe that they
should he held responsible, as permission
for Murphy to speak to Becker was
granted by zone higher I'm authority"
Former Assistant Warden Johnson
proved that he was not In the prison
on that day and could not have given
the permission.
When Warden Osborne was asked IL
he had received Supt. Riley's letter he
said Il decline to discuss the matter.
Anything pertaining to Mr.. Riley must
come from him. The men are still under
suspension

Board of Directors
Held Responsible

Last Monday morning Blackfoot' 8
cannery was started In motion and the
first test Of its product was made on
rhubarb, or pie plant. The test was
highly satisfactory to the stockholders
and the plant was accepted. The can
merry is now in working condition and
will be started up for business as soon
as the material to work on arrives Tho
first run will be made on pie plant if
enough of it can be had to make it pay.
p. E. VanOrden has been employed as
manager and when the cannery is work.
ing to its full capacity it will give en-
ployment to about fifty hands, mostly
boys and girls. 1t is to be hoped that
people of Bingham county will take
more interest in their orchards and
gardens than they have in the past,
and make them as well as the cannery
a success. Mr.. 4: M. Kennedy informs
us that hulled peas brought to the can
merry can be canned for four cents per
can, the latter furnished gratis.
Some of the present product of the
cannery can be seen at Pearson GO
|cery store.

Cannery Is Started
And Is Accepted

This week in the district court the
bondholders of the Snake River Valley
Irrigation Co. were given Judgment
for $1125.5o agAinst the board Of di-
rectors Of the company FER the loss of
their bonds which were embezzled
several years ago by N. G. Nicholson,
the absconding clerk of the company.
This is the first instance in Idaho that
the board of directors Of an irrigation
company have been held responsible for
the loss of bonds through carelessness
or dishonesty.
The board of directors Of the Snake
River Valley Irrigation District whose
office is in Shelley, had so much conf
dence in their secretary that they al
lowed him to act for years without
bonds and will now have to make good
his peculations. The unlucky board of
directors consist of N. N. Holm, N. C,
Thompson, A. f. Christensen, Enoch
Hansen, and Chris Christensen, all of
Shelley and vicinity.
Holden & Holden, and Beebe and Lee
represented the plaintiffs, and Hans

SALT LAkE-BLA LACKFOOT
MOTORCYCLE RACE

Plans are well under way for a big
motorcycle race from Salt Lake to
Blackfoot, Idaho, next Sunday. The
ace will be made an annual event.
d. A. jenkins of Blackfoot, who is
working in conjunction with the auto
mobile club of that place, has written
Sid Theobold, a motor bike fan of
Salt Lake, that there will be $3.50 for
the winner. There will also be a motor
bike meet at Black foot on the follow
ing Monday, in which numerous riders
are expected to participate.
1t is thought that twenty or more
Salt Lake riders will take part. The
distance is little more than 200 miles
1t is the plan to start the riders from
Third South and Main streets at inter
walls of three minutes, beginning about
8 O'Clock. 1t is estimated that they
can make the run in about six hours,
which would put the first ones into
Blackfoot about 3 o'clock.
Mr.. Theobold will leave Tuesday
morning on trip to towns in Utah
on the route to interview the city com
missioners, town trustees and the diff
ferent sheriffs, with a view to getting
permission for the riders to maintain a
higher rate of speed than the ordinary
rules and regulations allow. Mr.. Jen-
kins has already attended to this point
in most of the Idaho towns and will
complete the work this week. Mr.. Theo
bold expects no difficulty in obtaining
the permission. The race will be run
under F. A. M. rules and the sheriffs
will be requested to check the riders as
they pass through the different county
capitals, the time taken by the sheriffs
to be the official time of the race.
Much enthusiasm is being shown
among the amateur motor bike riders of
